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!
