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!
