Posted October 27, 200915 yr comment_5445412 Thanks to an assist from Gary Cubeta of 57Talk.com, expect a whole bunch of cool guests in the near future. Tomorrow will be the one and only Bill Dundee. If you've got any questions, post them here.
October 27, 200915 yr comment_5445415 His time in WCW. Why didn't he wrestle? How was it behind the scenes? What did he think of Bill Watts and Mid South? Better booker: Randy Hales or Bert Prentice?
October 28, 200915 yr comment_5445422 Circus talk. What exactly his role in circus. Difference tween the worlds of circus and wrestling. etc.
October 28, 200915 yr comment_5445433 I've never really seen Bill go into detail on working with Lawler. Could you ask him that?
October 28, 200915 yr comment_5445436 Yeah, I know he and Lawler didn't like each other and they turned it into an angle (or something like that, I don't think I'm completely correct in how I phrased it), but I'm curious where that originated, and if it subsided over time as they made money together.
October 29, 200915 yr Author comment_5445449 http://loserleavestown.net/?p=165 Memphis legend “Superstar” Bill Dundee joins me to discuss his career including his various booking jobs, pushing younger wrestlers, various Memphis-related topics, working for the Cole Brothers Circus, his wrestling school, and much more. Definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of Memphis and/or Mid-South.
November 2, 200915 yr comment_5445544 I kept expecting Bill to blame poor Bix for the death of pro wrestling because half the time, I think Bix asked a more detailed question than Bill was prepared for, so Bill would replay the "everybody is smart today" riff, then, maybe, answer Bix's question. Bix got some stuff out of Bill that Cubeta didn't, so I enjoyed the listen.
November 2, 200915 yr Author comment_5445559 Thanks. I thought he seemed more exasperated that things that were wrong became accepted truth (in the case of Funk's punches, that may have been a change as he got older because the main source for that item Mick Foley, who first wrestled him in 1994, and I had it confirmed to me by someone who wrestled him this decade) because they were in the newsletters like NWA All-Star Wrestling as developmental/farm team. It wasn't the easiest interview as it didn't flow well based on how he gave his answers, but I thought it was still fun.
November 2, 200915 yr comment_5445564 The next question is who's next in line for an interview and please don't say Greg Gagne.
November 2, 200915 yr Author comment_5445566 Ha. Nothing official yet but a few likelys that I need to contact...will post when they're set up. You'll be happy with them.
