Wrestling World Domination welcomes Jeanie Clark talking about her new book "Through the Shattered Glass". The book details her early life in England, her time with Chris Adams, her marriage to Stone Cold Steve Austin, and how her isolation drove her into drug addiction. She's brutally honest about the role her addiction played in the failure of her marriage, and the effect it had on her children. Today, Jeanie is clean and sober, and is sharing her story of recovery and hope.
"Through the Shattered Glass" is available at Amazon.com http://amzn.to/1s6bpRj

Long before the Big Show had his knockout punch, Rugged Ronnie Garvin was tagged "the man with the hands of stone" by the late Gordon Solie. Garvin, a mainstay of the Carolinas but who wrestled all over the country, won the NWA title from Ric Flair on September 25th, 1987, held the belt until losing it back to Flair in November, ast Starcade.
Ronnie tells us about the time he first met Terry, shares some stories of his adventures in piloting his own airplane, and how his "frugal" nature reacted when told to rent a limosine to arrive at a WCW pay-per-view.
If you visit the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Amsterdam NY, you will find enshrined within those halls one Len Rossi. While he might not be a familiar name to the younger wrestling fan, those who followed the sport in the 1950's, 1960's, and early 1970's - especially in the south - will be quite familiar with him. Len Rossi was one of the first to integrate tag-team wrestling, when he teamed with the legendary Bearcat Brown. Before that, he and his tag partner Tex Riley were NWA Tag Team Champions. Mr. Rossi also held the NWA Jr. Heavyweight title.
Don't pass this one up just because you don't recognize the name. Len tells some great stories, and we're sure you will enjoy listening to him
A staple of the Louisville KY wrestling scene for more years than he's willing to admit to, Ohio Valley Wrestling announcer Dean Hill joins us to talk about some of the tremendous talent that has passed through the territory over the years, including such current WWE stars as John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Damien Sandow, Ryback, Randy Orton, and many more. He also gives us the inside story as to how he became the new owner of OVW.
Wild Bill Irwin joins the show, talking about his time in the Pro Wrestling Business, the creation of the character "The Goon", and the last day of David Von Erich. Stories you won't hear anywhere else - here on Wrestling World Domination starring Terry Garvin Simms
The Superstar himself, Bill Dundee, joins us for a casual coversation, as we reminisce about his time in Australia, his theories of booking, and more fun on the road. Believe it or not, there's a story or two about Randy"Macho Man" Savage, and a tale about the time Undertaker had Bill tossed from a WWE show! There's nobody quite like Bill Dundee!
Kenny Bolin is known to some as the villainous manager in OVW where he managed the likes of John Cena and Mark Henry before they became WWE stars. Others know him from his book or DVDs. Still others are familiar with him from his podcast "The Bolin Alley" with his son Chris.
Either way, you will definately be entertained - and perhaps a little shocked. It's our most controversial episode ever!
Warning - Strong Language
Former WWE, WCW, GWF, and All-Japan wresting star Del "The Patriot" Wilkes joins us for his annual Independence Day visit. If you listen to wrestling podcasts, you know Del has been making the rounds, promoting the upcoming documentary entitled "Del 'The Patriot' Wilkes : The Man Behind The Mask". We will talk to both Del and the film's producer, Michael Elliot, about the process of making a documentary like this, and what to expect as they continue to raise funds for the film on Kickstarter.
We'll spend time talking to Del about his days with the South Carolina Gamecocks, and we'll get his take on the controversy over the Confederate Battle Flag. We'll also mark the return of "Off the Beaten Path" questions, and we'll play the name game. It's the kind of stuff you won't get on any other wrestling podcast.
Bruce Prichard - sometimes controversial, always entertaining - returns for part two of our interview. Bruce talks about his second run with the WWE, the promotion he's working with today, and of course we play the Name Game. He gives his true feelings on Vince McMahon - in fact, he's honest about the entire McMahon family, including Triple H, and where Hunter would be today if he HADN'T married Stephanie McMahon. It's must listening, and you don't want to miss it!
Brother Love. The Expert. Reo Rogers.
Whatever name you may know him by, Bruce Prichard has been involved in pro wrestling for most of his life, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. In part one of our two-part visit, Bruce talks about his early years working in Houston for Paul Boesch, later for Bill Watts, and how he first started in the WWF. We also cover his time in the GWF. He's funny, he's opinionated, and he's not afraid to tell it like he sees it.
We're very saddened this week by the death of another wrestler, Nature Boy Buddy Landel. We pay tribute to Buddyboth at the start and at the end of the show.
Mike Mooneyham, writer, editor, and columnist for the Post and Courier newspaper, returns for part 2 of our interview. We touch on WWE and take an extended look at some of the many many names that made the Mid-Atlantic territories one of the best in the world.
We also pay tribute to the great Dusty Rhodes, who died June 11th.
This week, we welcome Mike Mooneyham, writer and editor with Charleston SC's Post and Courier newspaper. Mike is one of the nation's foremost authorities on professional wrestling, and his weekly wrestling column has been in continuous publication longer than any other in the country. A former radio wrestling talk show host, Mooneyham is a frequent guest on sports talk shows throughout the U.S. He began writing for national wrestling magazines and other sports publications during the 1960s and has interviewed many of the industry's most influential figures. He co-authored the New York Times best-seller "Sex, Lies and Headlocks" in 2002. He is a member of the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa, a winner of the 2009 James C. Melby Award for wrestling journalism, and was inducted into the S.C. Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2011.
This is part one of a two-part episode.
Legendary Memphis wrestling announcer Lance Russell is one of the greatest - some might say THE greatest - announcers to ever call a wrestling match. He joins us tonight to talk about the early days of Memphis wrestling (with stars such as Sputnik Monroe and Jackie Fargo), how the Gulas-Jarrett split led to wrestling being cancelled on channel 13, the near-split of Lawler and Jarrett, and his days with WCW. Also, for the first time ever, he refutes the allegations made about him in Jerry Jarrett's autobiography.
We also remember Tommy Rogers, one half of the tag team "The Fantastics", who passed away on Monday.
Former GWF North American Champion, and (along with host Terry Garvin Simms) GWF Tag Team Champion, Scott Putski joins the show.
Scott was a running back for four years at Texas Christian University, but as the son of WWE Hall of Famer Ivan Putski, wrestling was in his blood. He worked in the GWF, Japan, Mexico, WWF, and WCW. Scott has strong opinions on football, wrestling, MMA/UFC/Boxing, and he's not shy about letting those opinions be heard. He talks about the strained relationship with his father, the night he tore his quadriceps in a match with Brian Christopher, and why he wants his son to be anything in the world BUT a pro wrestler.
Caution : Strong language
He's one of those guys that exemplify the "hardcore" style of wrestling. He's also one of legitimate "tough guys" in the business. And yet, he's also one of the nicest guys you'll meet in real life.
Bull Pain joins World Domination with Terry Garvin Simms, in one of the must "fun" episodes we've had in a while.
She was first introduced to the wrestling world as part of the Steve Austin - Chris Adams feud, where she appeared as Austin's valet - and just happened to be Adams' ex-wife. Later, she appeared in WCW as Lady Blossum.
Jeannie Clarke talks about her life with Chris Adams, her marriage to Steve Austin, and for the first time ever, the part that drugs played in their divorce.
It's a no-holds barred, hard-hitting interview that you will be talking about
Being the son a a legendary wrestler is tough. When your older brother was also a legendary wrestler in his own right, it casts an even bigger shadow. But Doug Gilbert, while embracing the legacies of his father Tommy and brother Eddie, has made a long and storied career of his own. A veteran of nearly 30 years now, Doug has carved out his own niche and style, and his feuds with the likes of Jeff Jarrett, Terry Funk, and Jerry Lawler are well-known.
Few people personified the Hardcore style of ECW better than Axl Rotten, but the long-time star is much more than just a "hardcore" wrestler. He's a talented wrestler who has worked all over the world. Axl is not afraid to tell it like it is, and he is brutally honest about his battles with addictions to pain pills and heroin.
We'll talk about working in Global, WCW, the WWF, and of course, ECW, and discuss many of the talented wrestlers he's crossed paths with over the years.
Whether you call him Tennessee Lee, The Tennessee Stud, or Colonel Robert Parker, one think you will never call Robert Fuller is BORING. Tonight, the leader of the Stud Stable joins Terry as they take a trip down wrestling's memory lane. Robert talks about managing Steve Austin, working with Jeff Jarrettt, and time on the road with Mick Foley.
