Wrestling Changed My Life (Wrestling Podcast)#45 - Wrestling Hustlin' with Cliff FretwellCliff Fretwell has made a career out of wrestling by running the Compound Wrestling Academy and Compound Clothing. What I love is that his background isn't that of a typical blue-chip wrestler. He got back into the sport in the early 2000's as a middle school coach, and within a year he was running a state-wide training camp for Georgia wrestlers. After uploading thousands and thousands of matches for flo back in the early days, his brand started to grow and with that came the opportunity to run Compound full-time.
