Tonight's part one of a double feature of Indy Wrestling is, Reality of Wrestling TV: Episode 191
Published on Dec 28, 2017
(Reality of Wrestling) is a wrestling promotion owned by Booker T that runs out of Houston, Texas showcasing the top unsigned talent from around the world in a weekly episodic series.
In the DWB/ Pritchard face off they talked about this.
Published on Sep 1, 2007
Considered by many to be the wrestling angle of the year in 1988. Ultra violent in it's day and still pretty hardcore by today's standards.
This got Continental in trouble with the local TV station.
Lady Mystic comes to the podium in tears. She's apparently been beaten by Dirty White Boy for last week's hair cut. She begs again and again for Tom Prichard to come to the desk. When Tom does finally show up all hell breaks loose. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it.
Largely forgotten today, this was the talk of tape traders across the country in '88. This whole feud - to me- shows what really underutilized talents Anthony and Prichard were.
One last note, White Boy did this angle again years later in Smoky Mountain with Tim Horner in the Tom Prichard role.

Impact Wrestling News
John "Big" Gaburick's deal with Impact expires on 12/31, although he has already
finished up with the company. A few people were told by a
source that Gaburick unofficially departed several weeks back and contractually,
is done as of the first day of 2018.
Eli Drake, Bobby Lashley and EC3's current deals are all set to expire in the early summer of 2018.
Former Impact Wrestling Ring & Transportation Manager Bob Rosen commented on being released from Impact Wrestling on his Facebook page, writing, "Well it's time to thank everyone who trusted me to build and keep anyone who step foot into one of my rings safe. I'm officially gone from Impact Wrestling (not by my choice!) $. The last 13 years have been the greatest time in my life from the great talent who showed me much respect for what we did with the rings and cages .To the back production people who never got the credit they deserve. These people who come together under great stress and pull off some of the greatest show you've watched weather (sic) it was TNA or IMPACT WRESTLING.And to the friends and fans I had the privilege of making through my time on the road in this business.You will always be my friends ! I'm not gone from wrestling .You will see me again because I still believe every talent deserves to work in a great ring ! My passion for this business has taken a hit because on how this staff was treated but I still love wrestling and I will be back. I'm still building the best rings today ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
Rosen had worked the Aro Lucha taping several weeks back in Nashville. It's pretty obvious from his statement that the company let him go when they couldn't come to financial terms. There's been talk that with Rosen's departure, the company will again revert to using a traditional four-sided ring, but no official confirmation of that. We'll know when they start to tape TV on 1/10/18 in Orlando, Florida.
Chelsea Green is now taking independent bookings at chels.green@hotmail.com.
Dezmond Xavier is set to tour with Dragon Gate in Japan next year.
Moose is booked for the 1/27/18 Future Stars of Wrestling event in Las Vegas. There is talk that Impact will film material at that show:

Someone tell Jeff Jarrett that nobody takes his GFW seriously anymore, even with..
This event that happened last night. and "Private event"? That means it was a 'bought show" meaning it was paid for by the Wildcats.
the following press release was issued this morning:
GFW returns for show for Franklin American Mortgage
Music City Bowl
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Kentucky Wildcats and Northwestern Wildcats were treated to a night of Global Force Wrestling action on Wednesday as part of the festivities for the 20th annual Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl.
Bowl officials asked Jeff Jarrett and GFW to return after the promotion became the first to partner with a bowl game for a night of entertainment a year ago. The 2017 event was bigger and better, with appearances by WWE Hall of Famers Jerry “The King” Lawler and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat.
“First and foremost, I have to thank the people at the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, especially President and CEO Scott Ramsey and VP of Events Jay Grider,” Jarrett said. “We were thrilled to be asked to return. It was a fun night for us, and it seemed as though the players and coaches enjoyed it as much as we did.
“I also would be remiss if I didn’t thank everyone at WWE for helping to make this possible.”
At the private event at Gaylord Opryland Hotel, players, coaches and team officials had a meet and greet with GFW co-founders Jeff and Karen Jarrett as well as Lawler and Steamboat, and then settled in for an exciting card of wrestling action.
“We want to thank everyone who lent their support to this event,” Karen Jarrett said. “It was great to see the Wildcats of Kentucky and Northwestern really get into the show, and we were thankful to meet bowl special guests Wounded Warriors Service Members and Families.”
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl President and CEO Scott Ramsey said the wrestling event went over well a year ago because it’s something unique and it made sense to bring it back.
“It was memorable for the players to meet wrestling legends like Jeff Jarrett, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat,” Ramsey said. “Jeff and Jerry are synonymous with wrestling in Tennessee and Kentucky.
“The Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl always will strive to be at the forefront of entertaining its participants. Being in Nashville we’re positioned to do that as well or better than any bowl game. And we couldn’t me more excited about the matchup we have for our 20th anniversary.”
