Georgia Wrestling Now welcomes some of the state’s top referees
They help maintain order during matches. They wear those zebra-striped shirts. And they usually have their backs turned while the bad guys get away with heinous acts against our favorite wrestlers. They’re the referees, and if they do their jobs well they tend to go unnoticed. But we’re giving them a chance to share a different perspective of wrestling as Team All You Can Eat’s Matt Hankins and I are joined by Georgia Wrestling History‘s Larry Goodman to dedicate this week’s Georgia Wrestling Now to some of the state’s hardest-working rule-enforcers: Dee Byers, Duke Korey, Dustin Robinson and Ken Wallace. We also discuss recent and upcoming events in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, EMPIRE Wrestling, NWA Anarchy, Platinum Championship Wrestling, NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling, Fall Brawl II, Peachstate Wrestling Alliance and more. Listen live Mondays at 7 p.m. or hear the archive any time after that. And call 347-324-5735 for questions and comments.
