Dangerous Conversations Episode #1: "King of Rock & Roll"

On the debut episode of Dangerous Conversations w/Doug Gilbert, host Gene Jackson and Doug Gilbert discuss how Doug's "King of Rock & Roll" gimmick came about in the USWA in 1993... What it was originally supposed to be, where it was supposed to go, and why it ended so abruptly, never to be revisited again. From there, Doug talks his 1993 USWA feud versus his own brother, "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, where Doug went after the 'loser leaves town" match, what the promotion did with Eddie after Doug left, and why Eddie had a problem with it. Doug also recounts Eddie's infamous "shoot promo" on Saturday morning television, the Gilbert's history of such promos over the years, and whether or not the rumors are true that Eddie was fired from the USWA for that promo.  Plus, the Dangerous One answers questions sent in from fans about his favorite memories of his Dad (Tommy Gilbert) in the ring when he was a kid, how Doug ended up doing the Freddy Krueger gimmick in Japan (and who did it first), and a few of his memories of "Dream Machine" Troy Graham (ya understand what I'm sayin?)!Check out the famous promo from "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert discussed by Doug in this episode https://youtu.be/4-pTiDrw7qgFor links to all things related to "Dangerous" Doug Gilbert and his podcast check out douggilbertpodcast.comChapters(00:00:00) - Doug Gilbert(00:05:33) - Steve Austin on His Japan Contract(00:07:42) - Honorary WWE Superstar(00:08:55) - Jerry Lawler on His Royal Rumble Match With Ahmed Johnson(00:13:15) - The King of Rock and Roll(00:15:32) - Eddie Guerrero on The King of Rock and Roll(00:19:12) - WrestleCopia Podcast Network(00:21:06) - Doug vs Eddie : The USWA(00:25:25) - Eddie Gilbert Crashes Rock and Roll Phantom's Back With(00:29:20) - Eddie Guerrero on His Japan Promo(00:31:50) - Eddie and Brad Gilbert on Working In Memphis(00:34:05) - Doug's Favorite Memory Of Watching His Dad(00:35:53) - Jerry Lawler on His Second Generation Wrestling Guys(00:38:19) - How Did Doug Do The Freddy Gimmick In Japan(00:40:06) - Tommy Lee on Starting The Freddy Gimmick(00:41:00) - Dark Patriot on Wrestling Mask(00:41:33) - Memphis Maniac 2007(00:45:42) - Wrestling Nostalgia This is a public episode.
