Wrestling Academy’s Month Of Mick kicks off with his most diabolical, twisted, hardcore persona Cactus Jack.
In our most demented episode yet, Headmaster Michael Klasek (he/him) and Homecoming King Samee (they/them) slither into the dark history of Cactus Jack at WCW, IWA, and ECW.
We also break down how Mick lost his ear, the Cane Dewey promo that changed his life forever, and Wrestling Academy makes a big announcement.
