On this episode of First Match we go all the way back to the beginning with one of the most prolific high flyers in pro wrestling history, Matt Sydal! 

From building his own backyard wrestling fed with his buddies which included selling tix and concessions, to having that shut down by his parents because of the blood, to being the first person under 18 to receive a wrestling license in Missouri, to a full "out of body experience" in his First Match, Matt's story will inspire you and his unique perspective on pro wrestling may just change the way you watch it! 

Make sure you listen until the very end to find out who's up next week!

Enjoy!!!
