The Dave Dutra Story - Pro Wrestling, Family and Parenting - the Evolution of the Battle King

Dave Dutra is an Independent Professional Wrestler who started in the backyard and ended up in the spotlight.

A bay area native, Dave fell in love with wrestling as a young boy while spending weekends with his dad. As a teenager, he and his friends created a backyard wrestling group that would eventually rent time using the famous All Pro Wrestling "garage" for their shows. There he met Michael Modest and Vito Tomaselli. These two would become integral in starting his pro wrestling career at Pro Wrestling Iron.

Unfortunately, his time at Iron was short lived, and Dave eventually ended up finishing his training at All Pro Wrestling. He embarked on his career while also marrying his high school sweetheart Melissa along the way. They eventually made their way to Sacramento where Dave got his first opportunity to be a main eventer for SWF Wrestling. There he learned and grew as a professional, which catapulted him to the top of the card as a top draw in the area.

Since that time, Dave has worked for nearly every major company in pro wrestling, including WWE and All Elite Wrestling. He has appeared on WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and AEW Dark. He has wrestled some of the biggest names in wrestling and even shared the screen with the Rock while working as an extra for the WWE. He continues to wrestle on the independent circuit.

Dave comes on the podcast to discuss his journey. He talks about what it takes to make it, doing extra work for the WWE, his experience at AEW, his family life, prioritizing family and wrestling, and so much more.
