ReFormer WWE Star Mosh Builds 'Live Fortunate' Brand on Hard Work, Cancer Survival
Chaz Warrington, known to wrestling fans as Mosh of The Headbangers, has launched a premium lifestyle brand called Live Fortunate, built on the message that success comes from earned opportunity rather than luck. The former tag team champion, a thyroid cancer survivor, also mentors youth through Junior Achievement of South Florida.
Chaz Warrington, the former WWE tag team champion known to wrestling fans as Mosh, has built a second act around a single word: fortunate. The Headbangers member, who competed during the peak of the Monday Night Wars between WWE and World Championship Wrestling, has launched a premium lifestyle brand called Live Fortunate, a clothing line whose message goes well beyond a T-shirt slogan.
The brand was born from a chance encounter at a camp, where someone told Warrington he was lucky. He pushed back immediately. «Luck has nothing to do with it,» he recalled saying, even though he happened to be wearing a Lucky Brand shirt at the time. He told the person he would be wearing something different the next time they met. That moment led him to create a shirt, and the more he worked on it, the more he realized the word carried weight.
«If you've ever worked hard for something in your life and someone's told you you're lucky, this brand's for you,» Warrington said. The line includes designs featuring a rhinoceros and words like gratitude, opportunities, and earning, all reinforcing the same idea: what looks like luck is usually the result of effort. Warrington points to his own path, including a sales job where he cold-called in 100-degree heat in a suit, as proof that opportunities are cultivated rather than handed out.
Since leaving the ring, Warrington has remained connected to wrestling. He said WWE calls him to work with NXT trainees at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, and he stays active with nonprofits in South Florida. Through Junior Achievement of South Florida, he teaches financial literacy to young people and shares his life experiences with the next generation.
Warrington also brings a personal perspective to the message. He was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2017. Rather than dwelling on worst-case scenarios, he said he focused on staying even-keeled and finding a silver lining. «I don't look at something as my glass is half empty or half full — it's always three-quarters full, and I can always fill it back up,» he said. He added that he does not always think of himself as a survivor because his experience felt relatively straightforward: there was a problem, there was a fix, and they moved on.
That mindset, he said, helped him through treatment and continues to shape how he talks to others facing difficult circumstances. He noted that many people deal with far worse, and he tries to encourage them to stay positive and recognize the opportunities still available to them. Warrington said he learned that the mind is a powerful tool that may not get enough credit.
Today, his focus is on helping others see how fortunate they are in their own lives and maximize that mindset. The Live Fortunate brand, which he describes as more of a premium lifestyle label than a simple clothing line, carries that message to a wider audience. For Warrington, the word is not a slogan but a way of life — one shaped by wrestling, community work, and a health scare that reinforced his belief that effort, not luck, opens doors.
