Locals to Legends Wrestling Radio w/ Rose Jackson


A unique episode of the show this week as Gene is joined by a special guest....his wife Rose Jackson.  Rose brings an interesting perspective to this episode as not only a wrestler's wife...but more importantly a life long wrestling fan and someone who has watched a LOT of wrestling over the years and tons of it live in recent years.  Gene and Rose have a lot of interesting conversations in the car coming home from shows and Gene felt the listeners of the show (both fans and wrestlers) might find it interesting to hear a woman's perspective from ringside on what she sees in the ring on a near weekly basis and what she feels would help improve the product from strictly a fan's perspective.  It's also a fun fact to note that Rose is the first female guest on the podcast....several have been scheduled over the years but various scheduling conflicts kept any of them from ever actually being on the show...so this is a show of firsts....Rose insists that she truly hopes that people who listen to the show knows her intention is not to be critical but to hopefully provide some feedback from someone in the crowd who understands the business while not actually being in it.  So if you like the episode make you say "Hi" next time you see her at the gimmick table at a show and she'll probably give you a discount.
