Alex Misery is unhinged. A man of many hats, most of whom are insane. He's a vocalist for the band Twisted Misery. He shreds on the skateboard. But where most of our listeners will know Misery is from his time in the ring. High Risk is a statement that has little to no meaning for Misery. Misery joined the National Wrestling Alliance at the first Samhain back in 2023. Before his time with the NWA, Misery was a mainstay in the Florida Independent Scene, gaining a bit of notoriety working for Coastal Championship restling and FTW Wrestling.A not-so-well-kept secret is that Misery is also a second-generation wrestler; he's the son of "El Leon" Apolo. Apolo is a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (as part of the TNA era of the NWA) and the North American Champion. His father was a well-established superstar in Puerto Rico before becoming a mainstay in the United States. Similarly, Alex spent time working in Puerto Rico; however, his time was spent at World Wrestling Council, the rival to IWA Pue
