This interview comes from our Sunday February 06, 2011 Broadcast. The Cast of Beyond Ringside is joined by Professional Wrestling Superstar "The Universal Soldier" Phill Shatter. Wrestling Fans know Mr. Shatter in different ways. There are those who know him as the man who has held the NWA National Championship for right at 2 years running.. There are those who know him from his work as "Gunner" on the show "Impact" from TNA Wrestling. We spoke with Mr. Shatter on a number of topics about the world of Professional Wrestling including his making his way into the business. Phill can be seen almost every Thursday Night on Impact from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on Spike TV. He also has a very hectic title defense schedule as booked through the National Wrestling Alliance. A couple of his upcoming appearances: Sat. Feb 19, 2011 - NWA Vintage - Franklinville, NJ vs Chance Prophet Sat. Feb 26, 2011 - LWA - Lexington, NC vs Lodi Phill can be found on all the social networks.. but One of the easiest ways to find out what is up with "The Universal Soldier" is to follow him on Twitter. He can easily be found by looking for @TNA_Gunner. We had a lot of fun during this interview and we hope you enjoy it. We look forward to haveing Mr. Shatter back on with us in the future.
