Left My Wallet: Levi Cooper/Tucker Knight on wrestling, Pacific Northwest sports
Left My Wallet returns with former WWE star Levi Cooper on a podcast that will show you he is much more than what we all saw on TV as Tucker Knight.
We start with Pacific Northwest sports as the Oregon native talks about his hometown Portland Trail Blazers and what they need to do to become a championship contender. We then discuss his beloved Seattle Seahawks and whether he thinks they should trade or keep Russell Wilson and what they need to get back to the Super Bowl.
The former Arizona State All-American wrestler then talks about amateur wrestling and his philosophy on both training and drilling the basics. He talks about what youth wrestlers need to focus on to get to an elite level and how he made the NCAA championships in 2011.
We also talk about his transition to pro wrestling and how those instincts from the mats directly carried over to the squared circle. Finally, we discuss training with Chad Gable, learning under Nick Dinsmore, Robbie Brookside and Norman Smiley and finish talking about Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport and how the competitive format would be perfect for him.
Levi is both a very talented athlete and worker who has yet to see the best days of his career. Join us for this fun talk about sports and get an insight into his plans for the future.
