The former WWE Wrestler and ITV Gladiator joins Owain Gwynedd from his home in Las Vegas to discuss his exciting and varied career.  

Now performing as the Chief Archer in Cirque Soleil, KA production in Vegas, Barri Griffiths, better known as Mason Ryan in wrestling circles, had 4 year spell as a Superstar with the WWE.  

He looks back at the time he made his debut on ‘Monday Night RAW’ with CM Punk and the New Nexus and how he then got invited to John Cena’s tour bus for a few too many drinks.   He also recalls when he met his doppelgänger Dave Bautista and even Ray Mysterio was confused.Mason Ryan had some memorable bouts on ‘pay per view’ Survivor Series and Royal Ruble with Booker T. Randy Orton, Big Show and The Great Khali were all memorable moments in is career.   

Way before the WWE came calling, and then known as Barri 10ft to his friends, he worked as a carpenter in his family’s business. During this time he started taking bodybuilding seriously as a knee injury curtailed his football (soccer) ambitions.   He recalls his fond relationship with mentor and promoter Orig Williams, the man who gave Barri the platform to develop his wrestling skills. Soon enough, thank to his 6’6” and 20st physique, and thanks to Orig’s salesman techniques, ITV’s Gladiators TV programme came calling - and the Goliath was unleashed on the contenders.His first taste of prime time TV gave Barri the belief to join the WWE and head to Tampa. The beginning of his new life in the U.S.A.    

Real estate investment is one of Barri's latest projects and he has set up a podcast called 'Wrestling With Real Estate' discussing his new passion.

 All is discussed in this entertaining podcast.
