Description

In this high-energy episode of A Healthy Point of View, host Sam Tejada sits down with professional wrestler and viral sensation Cha-Cha Charlie—a Dominican-American performer shaking up the wrestling world with charisma, culture, and unmatched passion. From street boxing in New York to viral matches on national TV, Charlie shares how he transitioned from selling insurance by day to chasing his dream in the ring—starting at age 30. He opens up about training, fatherhood, autism advocacy, and why staying positive has been his superpower through divorce, setbacks, and grueling matches.

You’ll laugh, you’ll feel inspired, and you’ll never forget the name: Cha-Cha Charlie.

In this episode: His Dominican wrestling legacy and viral AEW moment. The origin of his name and signature move, the Mango Splash. Balancing fatherhood, full-time work, and a wrestling career. How he’s giving back to kids with autism and visiting schools. What it really takes to make it—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
