It was just a year ago when Adam Pearce thought this career might be over after sustaining a serious neck injury.  Fast forward a year and he is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion for the fourth time and defending that championship all over the world.

I spoke with “Scrap Iron” about his injury, if he thought his career was over, how much longer he thinks he will be in the ring, being a traveling champion with the National Wrestling Alliance, what that heavyweight championship means in other countries, leaving Ring of Honor, how close he came to joining either WWE or TNA, NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, his upcoming match at the NWA Ring Warriors event on March 29 in Fort Lauderdale and more.

Earlier today on 740 The Game, I spoke with TNA superstar Sting to discuss the taping in London, how big the company is there compared to the United States, his health including an update on his recent injury, if he is surprised that he is still wrestling at this stage of his career, rumors that this could be his last year in the ring, Hulk Hogan still getting in the ring and if he thinks that will continue, his thoughts on the growth of the company and if 2011 was a subpar year and more, how Jeff Hardy is doing in overcoming his personal issues and more.
