Pro wrestler and Veteran Aerial Johnson, AKA "Big Swole," joins us to celebrate this milestone.

Celebrating Our 200th Episode With Special Guest "Big Swole" This week, Air Force Veteran and pro wrestler Aerial Johnson, AKA "Big Swole," talks about her transition out of uniform and how she found post-service success in the ring, despite facing significant challenges. In 2008, doctors told Johnson that a severe case of Crohn's disease would prevent her from having children or participating in intense sports. Today, this mother of a six-year old is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and also wrestles on the indie circuit, where she is the current Phoenix of Rise Champion.
