On Episode #47 of Dangerous Conversations, "Dangerous" Doug Gilbert, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, and Host Gene Jackson take a deep dive into the end of the USWA, sharing stories and behind-the-scenes insights about the final days of USWA Championship Wrestling.
Doug and Tommy reflect on the glory days of 1994–95, when the USWA was still drawing money and packing the Mid-South Coliseum—right before the Monday Night Wars changed everything. They talk about Larry Burton, Mark Selker, shady business dealings, and how it all eventually collapsed.
Plus:
Doug gets paid to eat at Ruth’s Chris!?
Tommy's last cage match... and Jerry Lawler ends up in the slammer
Who is Dutch MANTRELL?
Brian Christopher commits vehicular assault with a Golf Cart!?!?
Why Memphis on Monday night couldn’t survive against Raw and Nitro War
Could Memphis have had continued success had they went to Friday nights at the MSC?
No filters. No BS. Just wild stories, hard truths, and plenty of laughs with the Memphis Mafia.
