Talking boxing, pro wrestling and his doc ‘Stallone: Frank, That Is’ with Frank Stallone

With all the podcasts out there, if Frank Stallone ever decided to host one, I would listen, and I’m sure many others would, too. He has charisma, plenty of stories and the gift for gab.

Watching his documentary “Stallone: Frank, That Is,” he’s lived the dream. OK, sometimes the dream turns a little nightmarish, but he finds a way to continue moving forward, and he is still “Far From Over.”

Stallone, a class act, is in his sixth decade of entertaining, performing.

An accomplished singer, song writer, musician, actor and boxer, yes, boxer, Stallone is also an entrepreneur.

He co-founded a guitar line FrankStalloneGuitars.com to make high-quality guitars affordable to guitar players of all levels. He has many experiences throughout his career, including boxing and pro wrestling.

A few weeks ago, he appeared on the radio show “Hall of Fame,” hosted by two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Just before I interviewed him, he guested on “Talk is Jericho,” hosted by AEW star wrestler and WCW and WWE alumnus Chris Jericho.

In my video interview with the versatile, multitalented performer, we spoke about 40-plus minutes, and we covered a lot of ground, including boxing, pro wrestling, baseball, football. I could have spent another 40 minutes conversing with him.

Frank Stallone discusses his documentary and Terry Funk, Paradise Alley, Hulk Hogan, Rocky, boxing, Muhammad Ali, Angelo Dundee, “Miami Vice,” Bill Conti, Tom Brady, Ted Williams, mom Jackie Stallone and more.
