This week Doug Gilbert welcomes a very special guest and long time family friend to the show, his former tag team partner and the man he will soon be inducting into the Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame, "The Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony! Tony has wrestled in nearly every territory you can name during his 36 year pro wrestling career. They discuss the impact that meeting and teaming with Len Denton as both the Grapplers and the Dirty White Boys had on his whole career (He even gets a phone call from Lenny during the show!) Doug shares stories of getting to hang out with the Grapplers as a very young man and eventually learning from Tony and getting to team with him. Tony shares some fun memories of Eddie both as a friend and colleague and also as a booker.

They talk about their days in Continental working with "Nightmare" Danny Davis, teaming and feuding with the great Jerry Stubbs, and of course that famous feud with Dr. Tom Prichard and how it came to be.

Give it a listen and find out why Doug and Gene call this their favorite episode of the podcast so far!
