## Resource

It's Gut-Check Time isn't just a catchphrase; it is the killer mentality that Mike Mondo brings to every aspect of life. Pro Wrestling, Body Building, you name it. Mike Mondo puts the same intensity into the ring as he does into his physical training and preparation for the ring. During the course of his conversation with Jay Cal, Mike Mondo talks about what brought him to the National Wrestling Alliance, partnering with Slade, and what's next in store for the Wrestling Machines and the Federation of Champions.
