Dive into the storied career of one of wrestling's towering figures in "Giant Dreams: The One Man Gang Chronicles." Hosted by ECW legend Steve Corino, this captivating shoot interview explores the life and times of the One Man Gang, also known as Akeem the African Dream. From humble beginnings crafting his own wrestling T-shirts to headlining Madison Square Garden, this podcast covers the full spectrum of his remarkable journey.
Born as George Gray, the One Man Gang transformed from a passionate fan to a professional wrestling giant under the guidance of the Poffo family, including Macho Man Randy Savage and Leaping Lanny Poffo. Living and training with Randy Savage, Gray honed his skills, eventually making his mark in various territories across the United States.
Listeners will follow his path through Jerry Jarrett's Memphis territory, Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling as part of Skandar Akbar's Devastation Incorporated, and his impactful stint in Florida Championship Wrestling under the legendary booker Dusty Rhodes.

His transformation into Akeem the African Dream in WWF, forming the infamous Twin Towers tag team with Big Bossman, marked a pivotal chapter in wrestling's golden era, especially during the explosive storyline with the Mega Powers on Saturday Night Main Event.
