Inside the ring: Native pro wrestling
Professional wrestling draws fans in with a mix of theatrics, colorful characters, and campy violence.

Friday on Native America Calling, we’ll hear from Native wrestlers about their love of the pastime and how they’ve forged careers in the industry.

Kyle Hawk (Hopi, Laguna and Lakota), professional wrestler and actor
