Vinny Pacifico Opens Up About Finding Himself, His Promise To His Mother-In-Law, And Pro Wrestling

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast! As always, thank you, guys, for tuning in and showing love for every episode! In this episode, I sat down with Professional Wrestler and Staten Island Native Vinny Pacifico. He’s been a part of some of the most prestigious wrestling factions, such as New Japan, AEW, WWE NXT, and Ring Of Honor. With over ten years of experience, he has accumulated over 500+ matches, and with this comes life experiences and perspectives. He opens up about his time with AEW, the journey of loving himself, losing his mother-in-law days before the biggest match of his career, and simultaneously winning the championship the same day. An incredible, heartfelt episode that I believe everyone can find value in!
