Special Guest Ref
The Special Guest Ref Podcast takes you behind the curtain of pro wrestling from the perspective of referee Thomas Kearins and those around him over the last 15 years. This podcast is about the stories of those people, the ones who’ve been there through the ups and downs, from small independent shows in front of five people, to the rise of ICW, the “British wrestling boom,” and WWE planting their flag in the UK.
