Facebook: “Timmy Baltimore” 🔗  / brenttarring   ========== LiMPiN AiNT EASY w/ TIMMY BALTIMORE is a conversational—and at times, motivational—program centered around the human-interest stories of Professional Wrestling’s best, brightest, & most interesting individuals, as they share & discuss the struggles, obstacles, & adversity that they had to face, endure, & overcome on their quest for Wrestling Superstardom. Timmy Baltimore, the “Handicaptivating Host” of LiMPiN AiNT EASY, is a physically-disabled pro wrestling personality & creative mind, with 20+ years of invaluable industry experience as an announcer, producer, writer, & booker. Baltimore is best known for his time in WWE’s Developmental Territories of OVW and一once under a WWE contract一in pre-NXT FCW, as assistant writer/junior booker to “THE AMERICAN DREAM” DUSTY RHODES. Timmy is the first 3rd man at the desk in OVW history; served as the guest commentator at the original ALL IN 2018 for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match between NICK ALDIS & “THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE” CODY RHODES; and is the play-by-play commentator for MCW Pro Wrestling & RVA PRO. The relationships & reputation that Timmy has built over the years provide him the unique ability to respectfully navigate honest and personal conversations with his guests. This is a responsibility that the show’s host does not take lightly; as Timmy himself harbors a heart-wrenching story that gives way to an adverse existence. But neither his physical disability nor the recurring traumatic fallout could quell his passion for the Art & Enterprise of Professional Wrestling. Timmy Baltimore’s story is one Surviving the Nightmare, Enduring the Reality, & Living the Dream. =========== LiMPiN AiNT EASY CREDiTS: Created, Written, & Hosted by: Brent “Timmy Baltimore” Tarring Produced & Edited by: Tony Lorusso
