   Episode 37 - Who is Shirly Dillon exactly? The end of our Bert Prentice series.

   Jon and Beau start off talking about the passing of Dolly Parton. They move on to thoughts on Darkside of the ring season 7. Then Judy Lee reads a DM. Plus Jon plays outlaw name or not? The main subject of the episode is the final episode in the series on the professional life of Bert Prentice. We go back over his timeline and feel in something that were missing. Who was Shirley Dillon? How did he meet her? How did Bert go from being the outlaw in Nashville to the biggest promoter. What effect did TNA have on Bert's business? Where was his final run at? All of this and much more!
