From Eddie's famous match with Tiger Mask at the Philadelphia Spectrum to the Dark Patriot diving out of the Crow's Nest on JT Smith after throwing him off of it, to the"BigDon" Tommy Rich and his "paisans", the FULL BLOODED ITALIANS, the Gilberts and Tommy Rich have a "rich" history in Philadelphia, if you will. On this episode, we cover a lot ofthat history and along the way they discuss "Playboy" Gary Hart, the Great Kabuki, Tenyru, the significance of the Tiger Mask persona in Japan, Tommy Gilbert's history with the Funk family, what Tommy remembers about working with Terry Funk in ECW in 1997, teaming with Ricky Morton against the Gangstas in ECW, Eddie's famous series of matches with Cactus Jack in the TWA, the motivation Japanese wrestling promotions had for doing "monster movie" gimmicks, and the Philly crowds were like in the 90s compared to other towns. All that and more on this week's episode of Dangerous Conversations!
