If you've joined Mike McGuire for McGuire on Wrestling, you've likely heard him talk about "Pure Power Wrestling". The company is based out of Lethbridge, Alberta Canada, and was just named "Lethbridge's Best" Live Entertainment experience. For Kyle Sebastian though, pro-wrestling started as a fandom which stemmed largely through his father. Together, they have become a part of the independent wrestling ethos in Southern Alberta, and it all started from a shared love for the craft. Now, years later, they are part of the driving force behind the local business success story of PPW, and it's a family affair. Here, Kyle talks a lot about what made him want to wrestle, the team effort that makes PPW work so well, and other experiences in his career.
