Tell Craig Your Story

This podcast almost didn't happen, but after an agreement with his management we finally got to chat. So please welcome the Heavyweight Champion of OWE, Jun Jie to the podcast who was on tour in Cambodia while we talked. I was lucky enough to meet Jun Jie in Shanghai and was invited to watch one of OWE live show. It was amazing. Here we discussed OWE, learning Kung Fu, wrestling in China, injuries in his sport, What he says when people say wrestling is fake and his aspiration to work with the WWE. Jun Jie does not speak the best English and was at the gym when we had the chat, so there is some background noise but in my opinion when you listen to him speak, you will be able to feel the passion he has for his chosen sport and is a great role model for Chinese children and young wrestlers.
