You always hear the legend of how Frank Goodish was working out at a gym when he met Ivan Putski and Ivan broke him into the world of professional wrestling. Well, Dan Nixon is the owner of that gym. Several football players and wrestlers worked out in Dirty Dan’s gym and many of the football players became wrestlers.

Dan is a great guy, a World War II hero, a former police officer, and just a tough old guy that still works out three days a week to this day. Dan really helped me a lot and has a mind like a steel trap. He forgets nothing.
