#79 - Diamond Dan Garza - a podcast by JBK

Diamond Dan Garza is newly inducted into the Indiana Wrestling Hall of Fame for his work as a wrestler, promoter & trainer. Dan reflects on his career in the ring including matches with Rick Rude and Mick Foley. He reveals the painful realities of the business and the physical injuries he suffered when maneuvers weren’t properly executed.

Dan and Jimmy also recall their work benefitting Timmy Global Health through starting Timmy Takedown. Timmy Takedown is an annual pro-wrestling charity event organized and performed by rehabilitation patients with a wide range of physical and intellectual disabilities.

Timmy Global Health founder and former pro-wrestler, Dr. Chuck Dietzen, AKA Dr. Doom, aids wrestlers to help them showcase their ability in a safe arena. This one-of-a-kind sporting event allows participants to become a professional wrestler for the day with family and friends present, putting the focus on what they can do instead of their limitations. All proceeds & donations go toward Timmy Global Health’s mission of expanding access to quality healthcare worldwide.
