This week's episode was recorded live and in person in Jackson, Tennessee immediately before the Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame Ceremony. Doug is excited to welcome his long time tag team partner and one of his best friends, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich! They discuss a variety of topics including: how Tommy met Doug's father Tommy Gilbert, Tommy's experiences learning from Tojo Yamamoto early in his career, defeating the great Harley Race to become the youngest NWA World Champion in 1981, the prevailing locker room mentality amongst wrestlers and why promoters seem to encourage it, Tommy's very fun "corn story", and so much more!
At the end of the episode, Gene teases that the next time Tommy joins the show, (which will be soon) they will discuss the "New" Fabulous Ones tag team of Tommy Rich and Eddie Gilbert in Memphis in 1984! Doug and Tommy agree that this topic could end up taking multiple episodes to cover!
