CJ Dirt - Redneck Life, Pro Wrestling and Politics - The Story of the Suplexin Rednexican

CJ Boersma is a Mexican American professional wrestler born and raised in Stockton, California. He is known to wrestling fans as "The Suplexin' Rednexican" CJ Dirt.

CJ grew up with a large amount of extended family around him, which influenced him greatly. Early in life, CJ became a fan of professional wrestling. He and his friends would all talk about it together until one day, most of his friends had grown out of it. While others had moved on to the UFC, CJ still enjoyed the Pomp and Circumstance of the squared circle.

As he grew up, CJ began to start to enjoy "Redneck things." He started drinking in his mid teens, and continued to do so. He also began to grow his signature mullet as a homage to one of his favorite wrestlers Eddie Guerrero.

One day, CJ discovered a flyer for a local wrestling promotion call Pro Wrestling Bushido. There he learned that there were places to learn how to be a pro wrestler. He ended up in a Stockton barn owned by local MMA fighter Matt Freeman. There he and Matt trained under the tootledge of Vinnie Massaro. CJ and Matt would become incredibly close as friends and as tag team partners. They along with Michael Sean, formed a successful wrestling faction named the "209 Crew." He is one of the most charismatic and sought after wrestlers in the Northern California community.

CJ comes on the podcast to share his story. He discusses his wrestling influences, his love of live theater, what it means to be a "redneck," the 209 Crew, heat with certain promotions, growing up in Stockton and much more.
