On this episode of The Kevin Steen Show, be prepared to get blasted with PMA (positive mental attitude) across your head, hitting you as hard as a King of the Death Match Tournament light bulb. Whether you are a fan of his death matches from IWA Mid South and Combat Zone Wrestling, or you're a PWG fan who loves this underdog's amazing story, this interview covers it all. We discuss all the major points in Drake's career and you will get to see those moments that have made Drake one of the top independent wrestlers in the world today. Find out why he said goodbye to a life of death matches and hello to a West Coast PMA At certain times during this interview, Drake's positivity is almost too much for himself to handle. Maybe not as contagious as malaria or as bad as malaria, but you will be smiling when this edition of The Kevin Steen Show with Drake Younger is over, and probably chanting DRAKE DRAKE DRAKE DRAKE

Himself / "Drake Younger"
Crimson Mask is a documentary film by Marco Eisenbarth, that follows German 'Ultra Violence Wrestler' Thumbtack Jack a.k.a. Alexander Bedranowsky in and outside of the wrestling ring. Being much more than a simple career review, the film gives a deep insight beyond the mask of this seemingly violent and insane character that is Thumbtack Jack, who mutilates his opponents with thumbtacks, barbed wire, syringes and even fire. Crimson Mask shows the man on the other side. From his career high in the USA to his feud with arch enemy Drake Younger all the way to his very last 'Death-Match' against long time friend and mentor 'Hate', the filmmaker never leaves Thumbtack Jack's side. But then fate strikes and changes Alexander Bedranowsky's life forever...
