March 30, 2021 Episode 87 - Talking IMPACT Wrestling and OVW with Referee Daniel Spencer
We seem to love referees around here and this week is no different! The Backstage Boys, Basil & Trent are back this week and we are sitting down with referee Daniel Spencer of IMPACT Wrestling and the legendary OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling) to hear his story!
It's been one hell of a year but Daniel has been busy going from OVW to getting an opportunity with IMPACT and now getting things rolling again as the world opens up. We hear about how wild of a ride it's been and even talk some Back to the Future because NO ONE is a bigger fan than Referee Spencer!
All this plus when he's officially buying that DeLorean on this week's edition of The Backstage Boys!
