Locals to Legends Wrestling Radio w/"Mr. Sensational" Leslie Jones Pt. 2

Following up on last week's popular episode, 'Mr. Sensational' Leslie Jones joins Gene once again to finish their discussion of the IWF.  This week covers the most recent incarnation of IWF and Leslie TELLS ALL....this is the absolute shoot truth about what brought it back and why it went away....perhaps for good this time.  There's also a lot of discussion (and at times debate) about booking philosophy such as booking "names" and whether it's important for a wrestling promotion to have television in this day and age. While this episode actually ended up being longer than last week's episode, it's still an interesting ride hearing how everything came together for the IWF to return and the obstacles the promotion faced along the way...and when Leslie realized the wrestling business was a different world in 2015 than it was in 1999.  Leslie opens up and gives the shoot explanation of the final episode of IWF Slam and how the television station felt about the show going away.  Is this the end for Mr. Sensational? Is the IWF dead?  Tune in to this week's episode and find out!

Locals to Legends Wrestling Radio w/"Mr. Sensational" Leslie Jones Pt. 1

This week Gene is joined by wrestling manager and promoter Leslie Jones better known to most fans as Mr. Sensational.  On this episode, Gene and Leslie discussed how Leslie got into the wrestling business and the story of the IWF.  A lot of interesting insight into the business end of things and a lot of things revealed that fans and wrestlers alike may not have known or realized back at the time it all took place.  A long conversation but a LOT of ground is covered here ranging from 1997 to around 2003.  Next week, Leslie returns for Part 2 to discuss the IWF revival from this past year that didn't quite pan out the way many had hoped.  Be sure to stick around til the very end of the episode to hear what Leslie was doing between the time IWF shut down to the time it was brought back this past year.

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.
