Alex Misery is unhinged. A man of many hats, most of whom are insane. He's a vocalist for the band Twisted Misery. He shreds on the skateboard. But where most of our listeners will know Misery is from his time in the ring. High Risk is a statement that has little to no meaning for Misery. Misery joined the National Wrestling Alliance at the first Samhain back in 2023. Before his time with the NWA, Misery was a mainstay in the Florida Independent Scene, gaining a bit of notoriety working for Coastal Championship restling and FTW Wrestling.
A not-so-well-kept secret is that Misery is also a second-generation wrestler; he's the son of "El Leon" Apolo. Apolo is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (as part of the TNA era of the NWA) and the North American Champion. His father was a well-established superstar in Puerto Rico before becoming a mainstay in the United States. Similarly, Alex spent time working in Puerto Rico; however, his time was spent at World Wrestling Council, the rival to IWA Puerto Rico.
We will talk to Alex Misery tonight. We will speak to him about his time in Puerto Rico, getting established in Florida in the independents, wrestling from under his father's shadow, and becoming a fixture of the NWA. Please join us for this very unique interview.
