Donovan Marcelous rises; John Cena, Missa Kate farewells

He’s brash, he’s cool, he’s the new ARW Pro Champion. “Marvelous” Donovan Marcelous joins Windy City Slam Podcast for the first time to talk about beating Greg Glover for the ARW title, his run in AAW Pro with Joe Alonzo where he helped Chuck Smooth’s 6-year-old son turn on him, the influence of his wrestling father, working the Hammond Civic Center, getting advanced training from Ace Steel and more. Plus, Mike tributes John Cena and “Chicago’s Sweetheart” Missa Kate, who both wrestled their final matches last weekend, and runs down Saturday Night’s Main Event, Chicago Style Wrestling and Freelance Wrestling shows and previews lineups for Wrestle League and Southland Championship Wrestling.
