On this week’s edition of the ‘Multi-Time Award Winning’ The Rack, join host Lindsey Ward and her producer Sir Rockin as they discussed all the news that was the week in pro wrestling, including Dish Network not carrying WrestleMania XXX, possible upcoming WWE reality shows on the horizon, WWE online show ‘WWE Slam City’ debuting, WWE rolling out a 2-hour WrestleMania pre-show (meaning a full 6 hours, at least, of WMXXX content), Mick Foley holding a charity raffle for a chance to win a trip to WrestleMania XXX, JBL dispelling rumors he is the ‘CrankyVince’ Twitter and much more!

We were also joined by acclaimed and exhibited artist, painter of the Champion Portrait series and portrait maker of your favorite wrestling stars as seen on the likes of WWEAuctions.com and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Rob Schamberger! In a nearly 25 minute interview, he discussed how he got started and how we got connected with WWE, his work being displayed at WrestleMania and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, his feelings to having work sold through WWEAuctions, who were his favorite wrestlers, what is his favorite medium to use: watercolor or acrylic, what is the biggest complement he’s gotten for his work, teaming with Mick Foley for his work with RAINN, the use of social media and how it has affected his art for the positive, his tips for other up-and-coming artists, his thoughts on the upcoming WrestleMania XXX card and so much more.
