Locals to Legends Wrestling Radio w/ Bobby Blaze

This week Gene Jackson is joined by Bobby Blaze.  They discuss Bobby's book "Pin Me, Pay Me! Have boots, Will Travel." as well as his career in wrestling that includes traveling the world, a very successful stint in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and working under contract to World Championship Wrestling among many other accomplishments.

You can purchase the book by clicking here! I highly recommend this book whether your a fan or a worker, there's tons of great stories and insight into the business and how it was to work the territories and what Bobby had to do to get his foot in the door in SMW and to get onto international tours.

Bobby vs. the late Eddie Guerrero

Make sure to check out the interview for stories that weren't included in the book and some great advice and psychology from a man that's "been there and done it."  Great tips for guys that are looking to get their name out there and be seen in other places as well as the importance of "gimmicks" and making money, not just doing it as a free "hobby".  Listen to this episode and share it, I think a lot of people will enjoy it and hopefully learn some things in the process. 

Also, stick around past my plugs at the end to hear a special bonus track, sticking with the Smoky Mountain Theme this week....we have "White Lightning" Tim Horner singing Garth Brooks' hit Shameless from SMW TV.  Simon Cowell would have had a field day with this one...lol.
