Left My Wallet: AEW’s Anthony Bowens on The Acclaimed’s rise, playing baseball
Left My Wallet returns with AEW star Anthony Bowens, one half of The Acclaimed.
Bowens burst onto the wrestling scene with past guest Max Caster and has been both a high level baseball player and huge baseball fan his whole life. Join us as we talk about his time playing college baseball at Seton Hall and Montclair St. University, the mindset a slumping hitter goes through, his favorite player growing up, who he patterned his playing style after, going to visit as many MLB ballparks as he could with his father, his love of the San Francisco Giants and more.
We also talk about wrestling and the learning curve he and his partner have had to learn going from relative obscurity to the top of the AEW tag team division, how he and Caster first teamed up and built chemistry, the nuances of tag team wrestling, and training under Pat Buck.
Spring training is here so join us for a talk about baseball and tag team wrestling.
