The Memphis Mafia is back! In Episode #46 of Dangerous Conversations with "Dangerous" Doug Gilbert & "Wildfire" Tommy Rich, Gene Jackson sits down with Doug and Tommy for their 7th “Ask Doug & Tommy” fan Q&A episode, and it’s a wild one from start to finish!
This week, the boys tackle YOUR questions and open up about:
Doug’s very first match in Malden, Missouri and the incredible wrestling history that came out of that small town
Tommy’s memories of his Memphis run in 1980–81, winning and losing the NWA World Title, and why he turned heel on Lawler
Hulk Hogan vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin – who meant more to the wrestling business?
Eddie Gilbert’s psychology in the ring and why he could make ANY opponent look good
The ugliest injuries they’ve ever seen in person – from compound leg breaks to tragedy in the ring
The most athletic “big men” they ever wrestled – Bam Bam Bigelow, Jerry Blackwell, and more!
The wild backstory of Big Business Brown and how he broke his arm taking a bump on live TV
Plus: Memphis Mafia road stories, rare insight into wrestlers who never got their Japan run (but should have), a tribute to Brian Christopher, booking announcements, merch talk, and plenty of unfiltered laughs along the way.
If you love old-school wrestling stories straight from the guys who lived it, you do NOT want to miss this episode.
