Gary Nosacek may be the most interesting man in the world. He’s held many different titles in wildly different fields, each of which sounds more outlandish than the last. Today on Conversations, he sits down with WTMJ’s Libby Collins to discuss his path from radio, to wrestling, to blessing lions, tigers, and circus clowns as the Deacon of Circus and Rodeo Ministry. If you think working for a church is boring, you’ll change your mind after hearing this unbelievable edition of WTMJ Conversations!

LIBBY COLLINS: You got involved in the pro-wrestling world?
DEACON GARY NOSACEK: I did. I was the manager of the Marvelous Mendocino Brothers, Terrible Tom Paul and Beautiful Bobby. The reason that they put me in the corner is because at that time I was 5′ 6″ and 130 pounds, and they knew if they had a guy my size in the corner, the fans would love to hate us, and it worked. I would distract the referee, and they would cheat. I would distract the good guys, and they would cheat. And then they’d pull me in the ring, throw me around, pick me up, throw me out of the ring, and then my guys would hit them from behind and win.
