Ian Fried is a soft-spoken, sharply-dressed guy who works to keep VICE afloat as our deputy communications director. But after his work is done for the day, he transforms into his alter-ego Orion Dove: a professional wrestler who wouldn't think twice about diving over the ropes, or flipping an opponent upside-down and slamming his head into the floor with a wicked pile driver.On this episode of VICE Shorties, we tagged along to one of Fried's matches in Brooklyn for an inside look at his post-work wrestling transformation, what he does to get psyched for a brawl, and why he likes to spend his free time beating people up while wearing spandex.
