About this episode

On episode 118 of the Athletor Podcast, comedian and former wrestler Greg Warren joins Mike Mal to break down the surprising connection between wrestling and stand-up comedy. Greg shares how the discipline and repetition of learning a wrestling move—like the cheap tilt—mirrors the process of building a joke from scratch. He also talks about how his new comedy special The Champ came together over two years, how he digs into old material to spark new ideas, and why he still trusts the early laughs—even if they’re just one person in the back of the room.

This one’s a deep dive into mindset, performance, and how wrestling continues to shape Greg’s approach to creativity, persistence, and storytelling.
