Episode #03: "THE GILBERTS GO GLOBAL!"

  • Summary

  • This week's episode is all about when Doug and Eddie went to the Global Wrestling Federation! They discuss what the GWF was and how it came to be thanks to Joe Pedicino in 1991. What lead to Eddie being brought in as the booker and how the transition went. The story of how and why the Dark Patriot gimmick was conceived. The challenges of booking and taping a pro wrestling TV show that aired FIVE DAYS A WEEK nationally on ESPN. The REAL story of what happened with Jeff Gaylord in the dressing room at the Dallas Sportatorium. Plus some great stories about Bert Prentice, Bruce Prichard, John Tatum, Del Wilkes, Scott Levy, and Doug remembers his time in IWA Mid South thanks to a question from one of the fans. All that and much more during another DANGEROUS CONVERSATION with DOUG GILBERT!
