Greece, N.Y., on Sept. 14, 2023. Wollschleger heavily used cocaine and alcohol for years. During a meeting with a medium he was told that he had two demons on his body, one on his shoulder and one on his ribs. Wollschleger attributes some of his life changing attitude and actions to the heavy use of psychedelic plants. During a \u201cheavy dose\u201d of mushrooms Wollshleger had an epiphany that he was the reincarnation of Saint Andrew. He believes he has lived many lives including that of a saint, tree, bush, and Poseidon. Wollschleger has not used cocaine or alcohol for years, \u201cIt&#8217;s my rise from scum to saint, that\u2019s truly what I believe.\u201d When reflecting on his past he stated \u201cI was not born scum, I was a good kid, but I lost my way, but here I am again.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third Place: Liam Myerow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_10-640x427.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No caption provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honorable Mention: Travis LaCoss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/nppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/POR_WWD24_23-640x427.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James Von Sinn, a Pagan Satanist and frontman for a punk band Rotten, talks about the upcoming solar eclipse in the Sunken Garden of Warner Castle in Rochester, N.Y., on April 6, 2024.

What is unique about the wrestlers in TFC is they do not are their character in a way, they do not just dress up like punks, they are punks. Carroll says, \u201cWhen I started wrestling I did not see anything that reflected what I wanted to see in wrestling, so I started bringing punk into wrestling.\u201d \u201cSo punk was always the most important thing to me, which is why I lived the life I live.
