Doug Gilbert

MOST proud to be part of the legendary Gilbert wrestling family! 📖

[WRESTLE @wrestleonx]

Doug Gilbert was never built for clean edges.

From Dangerous Doug to the Dark Patriot, he carried the same thing everywhere he went.

Chaos. Violence. Heat.

Memphis blood. Global grit. ECW darkness.

So that’s what these guys look like! 😂 Check out the first ever @GilbertRichPod with video. Good stuff with @RealDougGilbert and #TommyRich along with @GeneJackson95 Dangerous Conversations Ep. 72: Terry Funk, Buddy Wayne, & Sportatorium ... https://t.co/WfkRFxiPml via @YouTube

📢 New Episode Out NOW 📢

The fan Q&A covers a lot of ground and this episode is a perfect example of what makes Dangerous Conversations different: one minute you’re getting serious insight into the grind of territory wrestling, the next minute I’m talking about flipping over Buddy Wayne’s popcorn table, Tommy is talking cage matches, and Terry Funk is somehow screaming at the promoter without realizing he’s screaming at the promoter.

Funny, honest, unpredictable, and now you can watch it on video! Episode #72 is another trip through wrestling history with two guys who lived it, survived it, and still remember the stories nobody else can tell quite like they can.

One of the best TV angles of all time - Eddie Gilbert tries to play nice with Bill Watts, only to set him up for a Russian attack.

"THEY'RE WHIPPING THE COWBOY WITH THAT CHAIN..."THEY PUT THE FLAG ON THE COWBOY! LOOK AT THAT!" - This is peak Jim Ross and the crowd heat.

“Let’s kick some ass and draw some money.”

“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert knew the job. Stir the crowd. Light the fire. Make them pay to see what happened next.

Rick Steiner & Sting as UWF Tag Champs w/Eddie Gilbert as their manager in early 1987 was so damn great

The run was short but they had IT and you could see it

Some wrestlers were stars.
Some were attractions.
And then there were guys like Phil Hickerson — the kind of wrestler the boys respected because they knew he could do it all.

Tough. Believable. Versatile.
The kind of talent who could make anybody look better the second he stepped into the ring with them.

This week on Dangerous Conversations, Tommy Rich shares memories of wrestling Phil in his very first match in Tupelo, while Doug Gilbert talks about Phil being part of his first angle in Tennessee and the lessons he learned from working alongside him.

This episode is more than a career retrospective. It’s a locker room tribute. A celebration of a wrestler whose impact on the business was far bigger than most fans ever realized.

If you only remember Phil Hickerson from one territory, one gimmick, or one moment in time, this conversation gives a much deeper look at the respect he earned from the people who wrestled him, traveled with him, learned from him, and loved him.

Rest in peace, Phil Hickerson

@wrestleonx The best there ever was !! DG

It never gets easy losing the ones you looked up to! Phil worked an angle with me when I was about 14 years old! He was a good one, take some time and watch some of his matches on YouTube!

[WRESTLE @wrestleonx]

From Tennessee whiskey to Philly Cheesesteaks, "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert was the talk of the town.

Grit. Hustle. Work.
