Listen Later

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.
