This week Doug & Tommy kick off the show talking about their weekend working the big wrestling event at the University of Memphis featuring many other legends of Memphis Wrestling. Then we get into some discussion of the "Memphis Mafia", who were the members? What was it exactly? Was it just an onscreen group, or was it more than that? Doug & Tommy get pretty in depth describing exactly who and what the Memphis Mafia was at that time in the USWA. In the process of this conversation a number of other interesting people and topics come up including: Sam Bass, John Gilliam, Sam Lowe, how Tommy paid the price when Doug and half the card got caught up in a "snow storm", dealing with heated fans, who Brian Christopher's "Favorite Wrestler" really was, and so much more!

Dangerous Conversations w/Doug Gilbert Episode #11: The "New" Fabulous One w/guest Tommy Rich

This week Doug is excited to announce that not only is his "brother" Tommy "Wildfire" Rich returning to the show as a guest, he's going to be a permanent part of Dangerous Conversations moving forward! On this episode we have an indepth conversation with Tommy about teaming with Doug’s brother Eddie Gilbert in 1984 as Jackie Fargo's "New" Fabulous Ones to replace the previous Fabulous Ones, Stan Lane & Steve Keirn who left the Memphis territory. They would be opposing Jimmy Hart’s "New" Fabulous Ones consisting of Porkchop Cash & Troy Graham but those plans would soon change when Graham suffered a severe injury that would take him out of the ring for nearly a decade. We cover their entire run as a team and discuss the various feuds and notable matches they had leading into the eventual legendary angle on television where they officially split up the team!
