    This episode of Usenick Unleashed steps through the ropes and into the mind of pro‑wrestler D.A. Morris of Mon Valley Pro, as he and Michael Usenick unpack what it really means to fight for respect in and out of the ring. D.A. opens up about his intense rivalry with his brother, Handsome Harley, the emotional weight of chasing recognition, and how personal grudges blur with on‑screen storytelling in modern wrestling.​

    Across the conversation, they explore the evolving landscape of professional wrestling, the power of storytelling in both wrestling and comedy, and why collaboration between promotions is crucial for nurturing talent and creativity. D.A. speaks candidly about redefining success on his own terms, arguing that real victory comes from personal fulfillment, passion, and staying true to your craft—not from chasing someone else’s idea of “making it.”

  • #0030: Leon Craft (Midnight Fracture)
    Jan 18 2026

    Mike Usenick sits down with Leon Craft (Midnight Fracture) for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about mental health, music, and what it means to stay human in a broken system. The two dig into Leon’s decision to step away from music, the mental breakdown that pulled him back into writing and recording, and why stepping back can sometimes be the only way forward for your mind, art, and life. They get into synesthesia and how Leon “hears in color,” the grind of constant content creation, the evolution of music formats, and the deeply personal stories behind his new album. Along the way, they veer into processed food, American vs. Mediterranean diets, societal conditioning, human rights, and why empathy is essential if anyone’s ever going to change their mind about anything.

    Check out Midnight Fracture's latest EP, "Ghost Inside" available on all major streaming platforms.
