On Episode #73 of Dangerous Conversations, Gene Jackson is back with “Dangerous” Doug Gilbert and Tommy “Wildfire” Rich for the show’s second video edition, and after the strong response to last week’s debut on camera, the guys are keeping the video format rolling. This week starts with Tommy reporting in from Myrtle Beach, Doug giving a positive review of Gene’s comedy show in Jackson last Saturday, and Gene checking in on the fallout from Tommy’s recent cage match with Atilla Khan. From there, the show dives into listener questions, and this one touches on a little bit of everything: territories they wish they had worked, why Memphis wrestling struggled to create new stars after a certain period, how spot show promoters worked with the main office, memories of Kennett, Missouri, the idea of a Memphis Mafia memorial show, and and much, much more! This episode is a good mix of wrestling history, road stories, modern reflection, and the kind of casual back-and-forth that makes Dangerous Conversations work. Doug and Tommy talk about how the business used to operate, how towns were run, how stars were made, and why some things worked back then that are missing from wrestling today. The show also teases some exciting plans for future video/live editions, including match watchalongs, untold stories, and special live shows where the stories may get a little too dangerous for the regular podcast feed. If you love Memphis wrestling, Continental, the Memphis Mafia, old territory business, and hearing Doug Gilbert and Tommy Rich tell it like it was and it, Episode #73 is another fun and informative ride.
