Host Garrisaon Creed talks with Harrison Smith, a former infantry soldier and promoter of Wisconsin’s Frozen Tundra Wrestling, about how military experience shaped their lives and work in professional wrestling. Smith recounts enlisting for an infantry bonus, serving four deployments, and the realities of a 15-month Iraq deployment, from combat and close calls to isolation and hazardous burn pits. Host Garrisaon Creed talks with Harrison Smith about his deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the chaos of adapting to MRAPs, dismounted operations, and Afghanistan's mountainous terrain. Smith also recounts how a teenage wrestling match eventually led him to help build Frozen Tundra Wrestling, where he handles the business and logistics behind the shows and plans an ambitious Madison event. @garrisaoncreed4401
