never crossed paths. We have a lot of friends in
common according to Wikipedia and you know, the Internet.
Don't lie. So Jerry man, how you doing

(03:14):
today? I'm doing pretty good.
You know, I've had some ailmentsand some bad things and I had a
four way bypass several, severalyears ago.
Really. I got 3 stents and and I'm on my
third pacemaker but I'm still here.
Well shit, I got 3 stents and I had a widowmaker heart attack so
hell, we're even. We're even more close than I

(03:36):
knew. I know man.
Hey, I know. I I keep those glycerin pills in
my pocket. Me too, me too.
I took, I took a flare bump man,it was a man.
Me and my girl were going like on vacation and stuff and man,
there was like nothing was wrongwith me.
Nothing was wrong that I knew of.

(03:57):
And we went to a gas station. I thought I had, I thought I had
gas. I thought it just, it felt like
gas in my ribs. And I told her to go into this
convenience store. I said go get me some gas pills,
something here, right? And took a flare bump.
Boom, hit my head and ended up in the hospital.

(04:17):
And yeah, it was a widowmaker and put 3 stents in me.
Hey, man, I know it's not funny,isn't, you know, it's hard.
I when I had my first thing, I was going to the bathroom about
4:00 in the morning and I had tosit out on the end of the bed
and it seemed like I just lost everything, you know, And I
finally got it back and, and at first I was treating it like

(04:40):
acid reflux. You.
Know finally went had all that other done and then later on had
to do the the I was taking glycerin pills.
This is no joke now. I was taking at least three a
day. Really.
Yeah, I was taking almost 100. I was getting the pack that had

(05:02):
25 in these little bottles and Igot four of them and I'd have to
call him back at the end of the month.
So he finally put me in the hospital and did a through this
big tube, but I couldn't stay init.
I told him get me the hell out of here there and I said I got
to get out and we won't be much longer.
And I say yeah and I'll be dead.So Get Me Out of this damn
thing. Got out of it the next day, the

(05:26):
SEC two days after I had to go to do my placemaker anyway and
the head man at the pacemaker found out that my pacemaker was
bad, the wires were bad. So change the wires or we can
change the whole thing. I said I ain't coming back to
that. Change the whole thing.
So that's what they did and and it's been over almost two months
and I've been doing good. That's.

(05:47):
Good. So that that was just two months
ago. I'm not taking that 100 glycerin
anymore. I may take 4-5 a month.
Wow. That was just two months ago
though, you say? No, it was.
I had that new pacemaker put in four months ago.
OK. All right.
Well, I'm glad you're doing good, man.
I'm glad you're doing good. Yeah, I feel good.

(06:09):
I feel better. I got to go to Dothan, AL the
22nd of March, you know, with Nick and Duke, Duke signing down
there and then I think we supposed to go back to the room
and do some more stuff so. Awesome man, I hadn't.
Been nowhere I was with. Jimmy, Jimmy can tell you all

(06:30):
the the ups and downs of that. Yeah, it's N.W.A hard time
Saturday, March 22nd and it's going to be an autograph signing
a meet and greet in Captain's Corner again.
You're going to get to see greatstars of the N.W.A, but also I
think Barry Windham is going to be there.
And Mr. Olympia, our guest today, once again, that's with
our buddy, good friend Nick fromCaptain's Corner.

(06:51):
So yeah, that should be fun, man.
I can't wait, man. I actually hadn't been to
anything since I was with Nick and Charlotte.
Yeah, yeah. So kind of just done my own
thing, you know, because I did. I work with a Sheriff's
Department, but I retired three months ago.
Oh well, Congrats. Yeah, I, I was with them in and

(07:13):
out, Police Department, Sheriff's Department for many,
many, many years. But it's gotten rough.
It's gotten rough. Oh man, no doubt.
I don't think I could do that job right now.
It's a different man Too much. You got to hate because then
people out there going to make you mad don't have to happen.
Don't you know? You don't want to be in a

(07:34):
mindset that you know you don't take them on because hey, you're
going to be in the wrong regardless, right or wrong.
Exactly. Yeah, It's flipped upside down.
The world is different now. Criminals are victims.
Victims are criminals, you know.And Oh my God, yes.
It's for us. Yeah, it's a different place

(07:54):
now. Because I spent a lot of time
down in that area, Yeah, a lot of time.
Hometown of Bobby Eaton, correct?
Dothan. And that's where he's from
already. From Dothan.
Yeah, yeah. I feel like I was as much as I
was there. You got any Bobby stories?

(08:15):
No, not really. I only worked with Bobby several
weeks when I went up to Memphis.I didn't stay up there that
long. Me and Tom Pritchard.
And then we left and somewhere else, I can't remember where,
but we went somewhere else. But so I went up in Memphis area
for about maybe 30 days and thenBobby came in times and all but
didn't then know Bobby that well.

(08:37):
Man, what a good, what a good man, what a good man.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I talked to him several times,
you know, back and forth, but never, never was where in a
territory where he was steady, you know?
Yeah, I, I was looking up your Wikipedia stuff and we do have a
lot of friends in common. Even though you and I had never

(08:57):
crossed paths the, the Armstrongs, you did a lot with
them. And man, I, I'm one of those
people that can say, and I know you can.
I worked with every one of them and they were great.
And and to this day I talked to to Rd.
Dog Brian. But I worked with every one of
them. Talk about the Armstrongs and
what a great family they were. You know, well, Bob, actually

(09:21):
the my, my name, Mr. Olympia came from Bob.
We were in the gym one day and Iwas working out and Bob said,
boy, you look good, man. He said this that now he said,
you know, I think you could put a mask on and go as Mr. Olympia.
You look like him. Oh, you built, you look like
him. And then shoot, I think you
would do good. And I did.
I I ended up putting the mask on, did an angle, put the mask,

(09:44):
you know, then I finally went out with Bill Watts and his
territory. But I always come back.
But you know, I I trained Brad and Scott.
Did you really? Yeah, you ask them.
I I trained back. Well, Pull, Brad's gone.
But Scott, he'll tell you, you know, well, I, I work with him a
lot, you know, because we live right down the street from each

(10:05):
other in Pensacola. When I was there, I trained
Brad, worked with Brad for a long time, you know, and Brad
was, he was one heck of a workerboy.
Oh man. Oh, man, you know Steve too.
Steve and and Scott and Road Dogand they were all good.
They were all good. Bob was the man.

(10:28):
Oh. You're the.
And it's, it's strange because we were in the restaurant one
time before he went with Bullet Bob and knowing, knowing I was a
police officer and worked with the Sheriff's Department and
carried a gun and all that. And he said, man, he said, let
me see. I showed him a 357 one night.

(10:48):
We saw the bullets, Bullet Bob. And he's used it ever since.
Holy. Cow, that's awesome.
Lot of. Stories out.
I've worked with a lot of guys, you know, junkyard dog, Ted.
Oh yeah, yeah. All on North I I've worked with
him, the big guys, Ernie, Ernie the cat ladder shoot.

(11:12):
It was. It was something.
I was so you're you're saying those names right now, Like who,
Like who was the best that you worked with?
Like who? Who do you remember?
Was like, man, I was in the ringof this dude and it was just
awesome. It the, the, the best matches I
had was with Brad Armstrong and Tony Anthony and some of those

(11:33):
back in there the day where we were tag team at one time.
Far as the hardest was was actually Abdulu the butcher, you
know, always certain that you could do.
And then when he hit you with that elbow coming off the rope,
that's he has that lot of that slab underneath his arm that
really. Yeah.

(11:55):
People don't wish that, but he tied into the mat, man, and he
didn't knock the breath out of you.
Yeah, that extra wing. I had the, I had the, you know,
fun to work with. Ric Flair, Harley Race, I even
had Lou Theis when I started in Birmingham one time and he put
me, he put me over and I thoughtI did something wrong because I

(12:16):
was new. And he said, and we got back to
the dressing room and I was apologizing, man, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, he said. He said you wouldn't have beat
me son, if I wouldn't let you. Laughed and gave me a little hug
and said you're going to be OK. Wow, that's that's, that's got
to give you goosebumps right now.
Oh yeah, I just got some. That's what I'm saying.

(12:38):
Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going
down to Dothan that that 22nd and I'm going to meet Charlie
Platt. There's a caliber, a fish place,
I guess in headland, Alabama andI'm going to meet him and and
several more that was down thereand eat going down on Saturday

(13:01):
and then meet Nick at the motel.Then we're going over to the
Coliseum. But yeah, I can't wait man, I
hope I see a bunch of people I know.
Oh, I guarantee you will. I guarantee you'll have a good
time. That's what I like about the
conventions, man, is just being able to see some of the guys
that I haven't seen in so long, you know, or, or, or even some

(13:21):
of the guys I don't know, you know, kind of like you and stuff
like that. Like, you know, once you're one
of the boys, you're one of the boys and, and and, right?
Right. No matter what.
Not the new guys coming up. They can't do this.
I said I couldn't either. I couldn't do it.
Bob Armstrong, Rocky Johnson took me to Griffin, GA every

(13:44):
Sunday for a long time. I've been three months and look
and Rock was he wasn't about four foot tall, 3 foot tall.
He was me and his daddy was working and, and he was teaching
me the ropes and how to do this and how to do that and, and
making sure that you, you you'vegot to be able to take care of

(14:04):
yourself because these people will take it.
And wrestling, too, was a big, big thing for me.
I travel him a lot, you know, and he would tell you, you got
to take care of yourself, boy, you know?
Yeah, Well, they will try you and they will do what they want
to do as long as you left. Yes, that's the thing man.

(14:25):
And, and you know, like you said, today's game is, is a
little bit different, but back then, I mean, just, and I've
said this working with Bill Dundee and Lawler and stuff,
they're going to take it until you take it back.
You know what I mean? And, and, and, and Bill, Bill
especially taught me that, man, he was going to take, take, take

(14:47):
until I took it back. And that was a great learning
experience. And sometimes, though, you know,
they'll they'll give a few and they'll, they'll tell you.
Come on. Come on now.
Yeah. Do something you know, and you
know, people don't realize that.Then you start doing something.
Then you start hitting them in the mouth, nose.
Nah. So you told me to.
Come on. Right.

(15:08):
Yeah, yeah. You know.
One of the first people, I don'tknow if you know the name Gypsy
Joe was one of the first people that I was ever in the ring
with. I, I claim him for, you know,
training me because he was the first actual wrestler I was in
the ring with. And man, he was, he was, he was

(15:29):
still and he was a tough old man.
Yeah, couple times. Never worked with him, but I met
him. But you know who I work with,
and a lot of people you know wayback then probably won't
remember him. But Mario Gallento.
We've heard that. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I worked with him and you
know, him and Buddy Fuller used to tear the matches up.

(15:50):
Boy, they and all that. But I worked with Mario Gallento
in Knoxville and then he moved to Pensacola and started
something down there and I movedto Pensacola when I all of them
moved, you know, Ron Ford and all fullers and all of them
moved to Pensacola. Southeast.
Cola was down there and his wifewas working in a restaurant over

(16:12):
in just outside Pensacola and and I got with Mario.
We worked out a little bit at the gym.
Let me ask you this, man. I, I know you know the story
then if you're talking about Mario, Jerry Jarrett, you know,
there was a deal where Jerry Jarrett says he pulled his eye

(16:33):
out and all this kind of stuff. You know anything about that
story? Well, I heard that story too,
and some of them say it's true. He's tried to stick his finger
in there and pull his eyeball out.
Yeah. I said it was bouncing on the
canvas so. Yeah.
Yeah. I know.
And then there's Austin Idol. Austin Idol stayed up there a

(16:53):
long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who knows? Because you know how stories get
repeated and yeah, right. And stuff like that.
But yeah, yeah, we laughed at that because Jimmy, who was it
that was telling us that story? And then we did the.
Randy Hills, Yeah, Yes. Randy was telling the story and

(17:15):
yeah, they made it like his eye was rolling around on the floor,
and I don't think that's what happened, but whatever.
He did pull it out, pulled it out of his socket, but he didn't
pull it out of his his head. Right, right.
He popped it out of his socket. But those eyeballs are made, you
know, they'll, they'll pop back in if you, if you do it right

(17:35):
away, just like, it's just like somebody hit you in the nose and
it goes on the side of your face.
You'll take your two hands and put it together and jerk it back
straight. It'll it'll come right on back.
You're a professional, I can tell.

(17:56):
He does what he's doing on that.Yeah, yeah, I can tell, man.
Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to jump in here.
So one of my favorite wrestlers,it's a very specific point in
his career. I like to call him Pensacola
ARN. My spot.
OK, And I love the there's always the picture of ARN and

(18:16):
some sunglasses, like shorts, maybe, maybe some, maybe a
shirt, maybe no shirt and like alittle a straw hat or something.
And he's standing there, the beach in Pensacola, smile and a
big grin. And sometimes you're standing
there with him. Somebody else is.
I just love Pensacola. ARN, tell us about tagging with
ARN Anderson. Tagging with ARN, see and and a

(18:39):
lot of people don't know this either.
See, I brought ARN over there. I brought him over to Pensacola
as super electric and we had some, we had some deals and this
that and the other. And then finally we, we turned
into A tag team and we and we both had those little hats and
stuff at one time. And so but we, I tell you what,

(19:01):
between me and him as A tag team, me and Tony Anthony and
and me and Ted Dibiase and me and Junkyard Dog, that's, that's
4 * 4 people that I tagged with.That was great and the best 1I
got to be Art Anderson and the second, you know, because
Junkyard Dog couldn't do a wholelot.

(19:23):
I had to do most of it and then my I like working, you know, he,
you know, he couldn't do but so much.
So I'd do all the rest and let him come in and finish.
Yeah, man. You got to talk about because I
talked to Tony, I don't know, once a week, once every other

(19:43):
week. Me and Tony Anthony talk all the
time. So and I tried to call him today
before I talk to you because I was going to try to get some,
some mess on you, but I, I was unsuccessful.
We didn't talk talk about Tony, though.
Man, what a good guy. What a great worker.
Hey, he's good, man. He he's really good.
Give me give. Me some lowdown on him.

(20:04):
I want to have some shit to callhim on.
Hey, you can't get much on him because him and The Dirty white,
we call her dirty white girl wasto get in ballet and then they
lived together for a long, long time until he actually left.
So he didn't he stayed kind of close to home.
Now I stayed with him and sometimes I had a room with him

(20:26):
in Birmingham, him and her and when we had a run over there.
And but there's not much I can tell you on Tony because I
wasn't around him when he when he was a bad boy, you know, So I
can't tell you too many bad things because we was always
together. And you know, he had, I guess I,

(20:46):
I call her his girlfriend, but The Dirty, dirty white girl and
The Dirty white boy. So but we had a good run, real
good run. And ain't no better workers than
Tony. Yeah, me and me and my partner
had a good run with him and Tracy Smothers up in Smoky
Mountain. And yeah, I love Tony to death,

(21:08):
man. He's a good man.
Talking about working the nightmares with Tony something.
Oh yeah, that's another one, man.
That's another connection that that that I have with him and
nightmare Danny Davis. Like, I was 19 years old when or
18/18/19 when I got in Memphis and I was married to Danny Davis
all the time. And I don't know, you worked

(21:29):
with him a lot, man. I mean, talk about Danny Davis.
Well, the nightmares, I mean, you know, me and Tony had a big
run with the nightmares. Yeah.
And they, they were quick, you know, nigga, where we had cage
matches and all kind of death matches and all kind of stuff.
But they could work, work. Absolutely.
He could work with too. He's.

(21:49):
Yeah, and and and and. Think of it, Danny, the, you
know, the, the OVW thing and turn that into a big WWE
developmental deal. And I mean, he'd, you know, has
an arena named after him up there.
Really. I didn't know.
Yeah. Who didn't know that?

(22:10):
Yeah, absolutely. And Louisville.
Austin Idol was down in Dothan area and he's always been up and
around Memphis and that area because he always liked that
area, you know, But he kind of worked with us for a long time.
He moved to Pensacola and workeddown there with us for a long
time. Austin Idle, man.

(22:30):
Like as a kid, I, I really lovedAustin idle.
You know what I mean? Just the, the Las Vegas leg lock
and just the way he talked and all that kind of stuff.
I really enjoyed that as a kid. Yeah.
Did you have much dealings with wrestling too, Johnny Walker?
Absolutely no. No, no, none, None.

(22:51):
I caught that knee a lot of times.
Sometimes I didn't know what hurt the worst, the slap on the
back or the knee. Yeah, that's another thing.
I hate that man. When somebody slaps you in
certain places, just hit me. Don't slap me.

(23:12):
I got to work with a lot of guys, you know, Scandal, Akbar,
some of those, yeah, you know, man, been around a long time.
So it was fun. It was fun.
I missed some of them. They're gone.
Yeah, sadly. And you say that about the slap
on the back man. I'll tell you one thing, I hate
the worst man. And like working with Lawler, he

(23:32):
would do this. When you punch him, he would
slap you on the side of your ribs right there to make the
smack. Oh my God, man, I almost wanted
to sell that more than I wanted to him to sell my punch.
You almost want to come to the dressing room and say, damn,
which one you want me to sell? Right, right.

(23:53):
I. Hate that man.
I swear to God I hated that. Do not.
Yeah, I just. That shit hurt.
It does. It does.
Yeah, well, not only are you Mr.Olympia, you were actually a Mr.
Perfect and maybe the original Mr. Perfect.
Cool too, yeah. And I noticed in All Japan you

(24:13):
teamed with Brad Riggins and Paul Diamond and that is that
where Kurt Hennig got the okay to get it from you.
Actually, actually Kurt got it in in Japan.
We were in Japan. We were in Japan together, me
and him and the junior champion role.
Yeah, he was there. A bunch of us were there and we

(24:36):
were out one night and he said he was talking about something
going back to New York. And he said I got to do
something. I got to have something to to go
back with, you know, to find outor figure out whatever.
And I said, well, look, I I'm just started using that Mister
Perfect and it seemed like it would get over and, and
especially up there. Where you going?

(24:57):
And he said, you mind if I, if Iuse it, I said, I'll sell it to
you. He said how much?
I said, yeah. I said, you get that 5th of Jack
Daniels over that you can use. He called the waitress over
there and, you know, they're allJapanese.
And he said, my I need a bottle.I need a whole bottle.

(25:19):
You brought him a whole bottle. You know what that bottle is?
A small bottle of Jack Daniels costing $100.
Wow. Yeah.
And, and, you know, he he said, I don't care.
I don't care. He said, I'm going to use that.
I like that. I already like it and I ain't
there yet. I said yeah, you fine.
Use it man, you know, and get over with it, you know?

(25:42):
I hope you have a good run with it.
He made that back. Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, he made. My 4 favorites that made me want
to be a wrestler were Curt Henning, Randy Savage, and the
Road Warriors. Well, let me tell you something.
Me and Randy Savage played baseball against each other.

(26:02):
Really. Yeah.
He played with Cincinnati. I played with Pittsburgh.
No shit, that's awesome. 4. Down.
We were down in, you can look itup.
We were down in the rookie league together and he played
first base and you know, a lot of people don't know Randy could
throw with his right or left hand.
Yeah, yeah, he taught himself because he hurt his shoulder,

(26:23):
right? Something like that.
Yeah, yeah. And I, I played, I was a catcher
and played third base with Pittsburgh and we played several
games against each other, you know, and, and then.
That's cool, man, that's cool. That's.
The winter, whatever we come home for the winter and we go to
the European health spot, ForestPark, and I see Randy and Randy

(26:44):
said don't we know each other? I said yeah, Randy, I think me
and you played against each other in baseball.
He said yes, we did He said aren't you that catcher they
played with Pittsburgh? I said yeah, and I said you
played first base and then he said I'll be down.
He said I so but yeah, that's, that's how we we really, you

(27:05):
know, started knowing each otherand then we both started working
for Atlanta and we had a lot of first matches against each
other. Who is the better baseball
player, you or him? Don't bullshit.
Me, it's hard to say because I was a good hitter.
He was or not. I know he was a good first
baseball, but I don't know how he hit.
I was a good hitter, too. Yeah, yeah.

(27:27):
Pretty cool man. That's super cool.
Yeah, that's. Weird.
They don't know things like that, you know?
Yeah, that's awesome. That's very cool.
So did what happened with baseball?
Did you get hurt or something orjust didn't reached your?
I don't know if you can remember, but back in the 70s it
came up as the first time they ever had a strike.

(27:48):
Yeah, right. I was playing that they had to
let a lot of us underneath people go.
So they I was one that they, youknow, had to let go.
And I don't know if Randy was, but in Pittsburgh, they had a
lot of people overseas and over way back over there that they

(28:08):
could get them for a little or nothing in Puerto Rico and
they'd bring them all over and play.
And you know, that's how they found Roberto Clementi and so on
and so on. So, you know, and, and played
and all that. And I enjoy.
So let go. Then they wrote me a letter.
Call me, come on back, come on back.
Call me, call me. I said I ain't coming.

(28:31):
I ain't coming back. No, no, you got to come back.
You, you know, you, you can makethis.
I said I know I can make it, butI didn't got into something else
I want to do so. So I I didn't go.
Back and that's what that's where you got into wrestling.
I mean, so that was a thing before baseball.
Like as far as a like a kid or whatever.

(28:51):
Yeah, that was I right out of right out of high school and
into junior college, and then I signed with Pittsburgh out of
junior college. That is awesome.
That is very cool. Let's take a quick timeout and
get a word from one of my dope ass sponsors and we'll be right
back with more live and in colorwith Wolfie D.

(29:21):

Over a dozen stars in. Attendance Make sure to head on
over at tickstree.com to get your tickets for Glory Days

(30:03):
Grapple Con 2. Who were your wrestling idols?
I guess wrestling too. Stan Hanson was one, yeah, he
was a good one, you know, back then.
And Ernie was a good one. You know, they all these guys,

(30:25):
they I don't know if they just like me or what, but they, they
took care of me. They helped me along the line.
Even when they were booking, they would give me good bookings
and all that because maybe they saw something.
Yeah, yeah, I'd say they did. So the turning on JYD, man, I'd

(30:46):
love to hear something about thestory about that.
Oh man, that hey, I like to not got out of New Orleans.
That's all they they were with nuts man.
I and you know it's something about New Orleans.
They put me and Paul on to work down at one time and then this
guy wanted to, I guess he hit mein the back of the head as I

(31:08):
come out of the ring in New Orleans.
And so policeman, the policeman came back there and he says you
want me to bring it back here? I said you're going to close the
door when you bring him back here.
So he brought him back there andme and that boy went round and
round. I beat the shit out of him.

(31:29):
Policeman throwed him out. Don't you come back?
And I said no, no, let him come back.
I don't throw him out for good. But I didn't have many problems
after that. Paul Orndorff did the same thing
with with a guy, but they would bring them New Orleans
policemen. They'd bring their asses back
there and say, hey, he's all yours.
That is fun. And that guy, you know, they had

(31:51):
a lot of fights back there in the back.
Yeah, man, I can say this. Like breaking in last of the
territories was Memphis. And in the early 90s there was a
couple of times where where things like that went down and
the cops in Louisville especially were so cool with us.
And I remember this guy dumped a, he dumped a beer on my head

(32:16):
when I I took a a powder out andwas laying up against the the
barricade. This guy dumped beer on my head.
By the time I stood up, turned around, the cops had him like
his arms were stretched out and I punched him right in the face.
And they they, you know, took him out.
I mean, and it was like I didn'tget no trouble for it.
But that's just how it went backthen.

(32:39):
And it was so cool, you know, sodifferent back then and, and
obviously now you can't get awaywith that stuff, but.
Oh I know I was working in not in Crossville, TN and the guy
jumped. My finish was I, I got my brass
nuts out of my trunks and I hit the guy right.
Well by the time I brass nuts I just out of my trunks this idiot

(33:02):
comes jumping in the rain and what he did, holy cow.
I swear to God, if he didn't go over the ropes, he went through
them, but he went over them and I just knew the police were
going to lock me up. You know, I hit him with old
brass nuts, man. I I cut him open.
Good. Clarksville, these people, they

(33:25):
wowed. Oh yeah, yeah.
I've had a number of people, youknow, Jimmy knows, I've told him
the stories. I've had a number of people jump
in on us and yeah, it just happened and yeah, it is what it
is, but it's just different today.
You can't do that. You know, back then you could,
but. Right, right.
Fun. Times, though not.

(33:47):
Super out there, it's, I mean, to watch them work now, they've
gotten a lot of, they do a lot of crazy craps, you know, the
Super. Athletes, man, super athletes.
I mean, I, I, I can't do and couldn't do some of the stuff
they do now. But I think, and I'll ask your
take on this, I think WWE has brought back a little bit of old

(34:12):
school when it comes to the the matches as well as the
storylines, the other stuff, theother organizations.
I just don't think they're goingto make it.
No, they don't. They just get out there and hit
each other. They don't, They don't, they
don't draw a story. They don't.
You know, it's you got to have astoryline.

(34:33):
Yeah, there's got to be something and you got to have
the matches has got to mean something like me and so and so
are so and so and so and so. They got to mean something if
they ain't got nothing affected with them.
They're just a match, right? And so, and that's why one guy
tries to make the other side of somebody mad.

(34:54):
Do this, do that, cheat here andthere.
But hey, I cheated. I cheated a lot of times.
But you know, but I, I hadn't cheated when I was a good guy,
you know. So they, even when I'd go to
Birmingham and there were peopleoutside in Birmingham in the
back while I'd go in and they said, what are you going to do
tonight? You cheat her.

(35:14):
I said I don't know yet. He would have bought.
Why am I hit him with a baseball?
You better not working with Bob art or something.
You better hit Bob. Then I hit Bob.
I said I'm going to hurt Bob. It was fun, man.
I'm telling I miss it. I miss not being able to get in
there and do something, you know?

(35:35):
Yeah. Oh, I hear you.
Yeah. I hear you.
My wife, my wife was just telling me, you know, when I was
in Pensacola, I'd always tell mykids on Sunday night we were on
Pensacola. I'd tell them, look, y'all good
this week, you know, if I don't have to get on you, whatever,
I'll take you and go. And I would get him a seat on

(35:59):
the front. And my son Troy, he was what, 8,
maybe 7-8, probably 7-8 years old.
But anyway, he, he, I was getting beat up.
Well, he, he was coming, he was coming to the ring to help daddy
and the police holding back. And he said no, man, he was, he

(36:20):
was screaming, he, that's my daddy.
I'm going to help my dad, my daddy again.
So I was rational. That's Gary Subs really.
And so they had to stop it. So I said, all right, you going
to do it like that? I'm going to stop you from go,
you know, and then my daughter. And that's another thing, man,
like back in the day, you didn'tsmarten your kids up.

(36:41):
You didn't smarten your family up.
That's right. You didn't, you didn't, you
didn't tell them nothing. And you know, and, and, but,
yeah, man, you did. You didn't smarten your family
up. You know, Dennis Gayle, I don't
think he ever, I mean, they got smart, but they did.
He didn't smarten them up. He never did smarten up here,
you know, never did I know. But, you know, you could tell

(37:02):
his wife. And and then they say what, you
know, we kind of know, you know,but but he wouldn't say it.
He wouldn't say it. Good old days, man.
Good old days, no doubt. Did you ever work for Nick
Golas? You know, I got a story there
too. I was hoping you would.

(37:23):
Everybody laughed on that one. Well, I, I didn't, didn't do
much. I went up, I went up for one TV
on Saturday. He paid me $15 and I and I,
yeah, $15. I had a $15.00 check and Ollie
sent me up there and I told Ollie, don't you ever send me
back up there if I go up there and then, yeah, sure, $15 sure

(37:50):
was. Wow.
What year was that? Shoot, that was when I kind of
first started, you know, when they they seen you here and seen
you there. I went to Tampa a lot of times
too. They see me down there.
When I started, I they just needed somebody to do jobs, you
know, work on TV to put the beast.
But I always Hey, I always got the top notch guys to put over

(38:14):
on TVI mean, you know, when you get hardly raised, so you get
Abdul to the butcher, you get wrestling too, and and all those
guys, you you hey, that's good. And and see, I was policing them
too, and I'd come back and they said we saw you get your ass
whooped. I said yeah, but I said, hey, I
got in there though, didn't so, but they, they always took care

(38:38):
of me a little bit, you know, and didn't just beat me to
death. But I was brutal.
A lot of times, you know, peoplesay what they want.
You still get bruised up, you know, Absolutely.
So hurt muscles hurt, they, you know, shoot cramps, all that you
get all that. People don't realize it.
So you go, you go through that, you that that's something you

(38:58):
endure. Yeah, I'm going to.
I'm going to ask the question Jimmy to him.
So Jerry, what, what was your favorite match like?
What? What do you think your best
match was? It, it had to be with Brad
Armstrong. Yeah, had had the as far as
working and everything good and doing it.

(39:20):
I mean just easy. And the best match was, was me
and him. I, we went 40 minutes one night
in Birmingham and I was, I was bloody, he was bloody and you
know, and all people said I don't know how y'all.
Double color. Oh yeah, sure did.
It should be on. YouTube.

(39:41):
Yeah, it should be. And I got a match on there with
Chavo Guerrero when I was in Texas.
They wanted me, they wanted me to go over Chavo and Chavo.
They love Chavo in Texas. And I told the Bill Watts and
and them I said, Nah, I don't think so.

(40:01):
I said, what do you mean you go over?
I said I ain't going over. He said, what do you mean you
ain't going over? I said, look, you see all them
people out there ain't no damn way I'm going to win.
I said I'll beat him up bad, butI ain't going to win.
I said, he's going over because he's I will never get out of
here. So they love I can tell if the
match went on. There's two parts to that too.

(40:24):
When you go watch it and and I put him over, you know, but we
had a hell of a match there too.Everybody that the top guys that
most of them, I can't say bad anything bad about them because
we did, we did do do good and tear the house down when we
could. Yeah, so it's a two-part match
on YouTube. Yep, me and Calvo Guerrero.

(40:45):
I was Mr. All. Right.
That's awesome. I'll check that out and I hope
the listeners do too. We'll all check that out.
That it's got me on there. YouTube some of them Jerry
Stubbs, Mr. Olympia wrestler andyou'll see some of the Jerry.
Hey, you'll even see Jerry Stubbs with hair.

(41:09):
Hey, man. That's.
What you were talking about? I went to Japan, came back, I
had a guy that that fixed these wigs and hair that came out of
California and he could put it on.
Oh man. They tried to jerk them off and
they couldn't get it off. And I come said, oh man, you
grew hair. I said, I told y'all shaved all

(41:30):
that all the time. You know, they said no you
didn't. I said I got hair here, pull it.
And the hair felt real, too. Yeah, yeah.
That's awesome. Make yourself a character.
You got to make a character. Yeah, You know, I was just
talking to somebody the other day about how sad it is that
those great masked gimmicks are gone now because, you know,

(41:54):
they're they're they're basically all tied to like
luchadors now. And you know, I was, I was
saying that if you were to want to convey pro wrestling in a
single picture, you could draw amasked wrestler and people would
know a that is a wrestler right there.
And that it's something that's built into your brain that you

(42:15):
know what it is. But unfortunately, it doesn't
really exist anymore outside of the Mexican luchador wrestler,
you know, and it's it's sad because the assassins, the blue
demons, that they the Dante Mephistos, the the Mr. Olympias,
the grapplers. Exactly.
I mean, so many great tag teams that were just LED, legendary
masked tag teams or just masked singles wrestlers.

(42:37):
You know, it's sad that that gimmick isn't around.
Yeah, masks. Exactly.
Exactly. Hey, he, he's one of my idols
really. You know, as I started looking
at people and all that he, and you think about that is now Bill
Edie was he, he had a security outfit that he he owns, you
know, back in late, late now. Like, you know, he was a had his

(43:02):
own security people and whatever.
But I knew him when I worked forthe Clayton County Police
Department and they were workingin Atlanta and all that.
So I knew it back then too. So and then, you know, I just, I
always liked it once, once Bob Armstrong put me on that mask or
whatever, I just, I went crazy. Yeah.
Yeah, that's awesome. I totally love the mask gimmicks

(43:25):
as a kid. I mean, when I, when I got
turned on to wrestling, it was probably like 83 or something.
And yeah, I love the mask guys. But then the Road Warriors came
out and I mean, that was, I meankind of a mask, you know what I
mean? The paint, the the shoulder
pads, muda, all that kind of stuff.

(43:45):
Love that shit. But the but the mask wrestlers.
I love the mask wrestlers. Yeah, I went.
I was in Japan with them one time.
Oh yeah, Good time boys, I'm telling you.
Love them guys, no. They were wild, too.
They yes, they were and and and I got to hang out with them and
yeah, so good guys loved Hawkinganimal.

(44:08):
Yeah. Did you have some fun in the
Japanese nightlife? And how did the sponsors treat
y'all out that way? Oh, they, they treated as good.
They would send, they they wouldsend, I guess the ones that they
were training, the younger ones.Yeah, they would send them to
our matches. See they, they all set up and
they all had to practice before they worked.

(44:31):
They practice out there. They set the ring up, they had
to carry the ring. They they set it up, they worked
against each other. They did this, they did that.
And then they might have a matchduring the night.
So they they've always worked their tail off and got to get
it's they, they work a little different, you know, but you get
used to it because you know, youhow to take bumps and things

(44:53):
like that. So it I had Tiger jet scene.
I don't know if you remember him.
Yeah. I went to Japan as aw chic I
heard. That.
Got a magazine that's got me on the fronts as aw Chic and I, I
went down with him and he took aliking to me and I went back to

(45:14):
Japan. I bet 3 or 4 * a year for a
little while and they they paid good money.
Of course, you know, you used tobe able to get things cheap over
in Japan back over. They ain't no more ain't cheap.
But yeah, we, we would go to Japan and and shoot man, good

(45:36):
times over there. Now, I didn't work with any like
Baba or anybody like that, but Ihad a couple of tag matches with
with Kabuki and I think, yeah, Ican't remember his party, but
Kabuki and something was with meand Jet Singh.
And Jet Singh had that little with a ball on the end where
he'd hit you upside the head with all these, all these kids

(45:59):
would come up, you know, and andthrow, you know, their paper
cups or whatever at it. Boy, he'd walk one of he whopped
him upside the head. With that, he said just stay
behind me. We'll get there.
We'll get, we'll get to the ring.
I said behind you, Let's go, boy.
We get on the bus. You you work with Joel Dayton
much? I, I work with Joel Dayton.

(46:21):
When I first started, Joel, kindof, he was a lot of places, you
know, he didn't stay in one too many.
No, he didn't. Yeah, he was moving.
A lot of places. The reason I asked that I talked
to him quite a bit and I was just curious as to how much you
worked with him. I think me and me, he was on
several cards of me and Buck Robley and and and them, you

(46:45):
know, back in the day. That's that's a long time ago.
Yeah. A few days ago.
Yeah, who? Yeah, yeah.
Hey, let me ask you this. This is kind of a interesting
question. So if you had to pick your
favorite promotion or promoter to work for, who would you say

(47:09):
in your opinion was your absolute favorite promoter?
I'd have to go with Ron Fuller because I think I worked with
him that more than anybody else.That's what Bill Watts hard to
work for. Wasn't.
That, that's what. They all say.
His way or no way, but but you could, you could get some.
And seeing the good thing that Ihad is I had junkyard dog on my

(47:32):
side. Yeah, partners.
And he and I swear to God, he loved junkyard dog.
He gave him that Mercedes and and so on.
And Dog would call me this, I'm going to tell you a couple
stories about it. Dog would call me at 1:00 or
2:00, maybe 3:00 in the morning and then say hey, hey, call me.

(47:56):
Oh, you always call hey, oh, what man?
What you need? There's something wrong.
He said, no, I can't sleep. I said, well, I could now I
can't. He said, I'll be over there,
I'll be over there, Get you in aminute.
I said, where we going? It's going to work out.
I said, hey, so we'd go to Foxy's Gym in Baton Rouge and he

(48:20):
and work out for at least two hours.
And then he he says, let's go. We go eat some breakfast, go
take a back a shower because we have to leave probably 5:00, go
somewhere else. And then about 2:00 riding.
He's he said, I'm going to take a quick nap.
You mind? Don't.
I said no, because what he'd do,he'd say, look, you drive.

(48:40):
I don't if you drive, I won't charge you my friends.
I said, hell here, hell, I drive.
He's over this and then when he wakes up, he said I'm hungry,
let's stop and get something. You know, I said all you do is
go back to sleep. But we had fun man, going up and
down. How was he in the gym?

(49:01):
Was was was JYDA strong guy? Oh, I bet, yeah.
Yeah, but he was pretty stout. He he could live, but he 36375
on the bench. On the bench, yeah.
Back then, you know, because I know he was taking, you know.
So we work out. We do good.
We work out, He said. I'm tired.

(49:24):
You are, man. I guess you don't stay over
there and sleep. I won't charge you nothing.
Hey, I won't charge you. No trans, I said.
I said OK, I'm good for that. Yeah, it's a it's a thought
though. Somebody like him though that,
you know, died way before he should have.
I mean, what would he be doing right now?
You know, man, what a, what a, what a incredible wrestler he

(49:51):
was and how over he was. Oh, yeah, yeah, there's, there's
a story behind that, too. I was up in Charlotte.
I was in the territory with the Crocketts, me and King Boat and
and several more. Flair was up and out, in and out
of there a lot. Shoot, all the big guys was
there, you know, and then Junkyard Dog Steve Ritter.

(50:16):
Ritter, as they call it. Yeah, Ritter.
And he came up to me one night in Charlotte.
We went in Charlotte. He said, hey, how can I?
How can he? And he looks sort of the same
little bucked up or whatever. And he said, how can I get in
this business? And I said, well, only thing I
can tell you is you need to get somebody's in the business to

(50:37):
help you get it and so on. And he said, well, can you do
it? I said, well, I was on my way
out of of up there, you know, coming back to Atlanta.
And I said, be around. If I was, I'd help you out.
You know, we'd go to the gym. I like somebody to work out with
and do this that. Yeah, he said, man, I sure wish
you could. I said, but I'll put you on

(50:57):
somebody. And I put him on Steamboat and
Steamboat. Steamboat helped him a long
time. And then the next thing I knew
he was Junkyard Dogs. All of a sudden.
I have a lot of business, you know, but a lot helped me.
I got Rocky Johnson, I got ShootMan, Mr. Wrestling 2 and One,

(51:20):
and Steamboat helped me. Paul Ondor, those guys helped me
along the way. I can't, you know, Tiger Conway
Junior helped me a lot because I'm just people that really
stand out to help me so much, you know?

and Robert went to school together for a little while down
here in Atlanta. Yeah, so.
He lives in McDonough, GA, And Iwent to Henry County's
elementary school, and then we, he went to high school there.
But I moved to Forest Park and we played basketball against

(52:45):
them, you know, So we had some history there.
You know, there's a lot of history with people that I work
with that I associated with. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I just know that the nightmare
Danny Davis was, was he trained there?
He was. He was my buddy Fuller, and he
talked about staying at that. Was it the work farm that he

(53:06):
would? Yeah, right on, you know, Yeah.
Oh yeah, I didn't. Know there the whole bit.
Yeah, he said. He said there was one guy that
was they were putting them in crab walks and he would just
watch guys crab walk right out the door.
True, man, that's true. Yeah.

(53:27):
It's funny. It's not like it used to be,
though. It's not like it's it's a little
different. Yeah, little different.
I get interested. I watch.
But see, the thing of it is people don't know.
I grew up wrestling and watchingthe Samoans grow.
I was down in Pensacola when those kids were was running up
and down the beach, playing in the water.

(53:47):
Yeah, all of them. Between all of them, every one
of them. You know, some of them might
even been babies by then, but about, you know, and grown up,
they've grown up. You saw the bloodline over
there. So, but yeah, Alpha and Sika,
you know, that was in our area over there being dog.

(54:07):
If Alfred Zika had a had a head to head, all right, they could
we could have made hundreds and hundreds, but they got mad.
Watch didn't pay them what they thought they should get and they
quit. I'll never forget that the
episode on what was it one of the WWE shows?
I can't remember where they ate the raw.

(54:28):
Chickens, yeah. Man, that was incredible.
You want to hear a story? It's funny about the Samoans.
They got, they were riding in a cab, right?
And at the airport when we got off the plane and all that and
they got everything they got. They, they were, they were in a
cab and are going to get a cab. But the cab driver made them

(54:49):
mad. Oh, man, when they made them
mad, they they, they caused, they caused the scene.
But the scene was shown on TV, people standing in the airport
looking because the Samoan was chasing this cab driver on foot
and he's in a car. The cab driver was in a car and
he's chasing that cab driver andhe said I'm going to kill you.

(55:13):
You hear all this TV watch looked up.
He said, Oh my God. He said, look at them.
They after that cab driver. I hope the hell they don't catch
him because they'll kill that cab.
Oh, man, you know, in the airport, in the inside, in the
terminal and all that, watching this on TV and they're chasing
that cab driver around there foroh God.

(55:40):
That's funny. That is funny.
I can't imagine that it'd be scared to death having Samoans
running after me. I would just be.
Oh yeah, yeah. You know they look anyway.
I'd drop down in the fetal position probably and just say
to get, just give it get, get itover with boys.

(56:01):
It's fun. It's fun just to remember, you
know, just talking. And then you remember things
that pop in your head that happened, but you forget a lot.
I do, I'm 73 years old. Yes, Sir.
Well, Jerry, one thing we cannotforget is N.W.A Hard times Daddy
on March 22nd. Yeah, that is my horrible dusty

(56:21):
impersonation. I'll never do it again.
I'm sorry, but Mr. Olympia, you're going to be there.
I know Barry Windham is going tobe there.
Meet all the current stars of the current N.W.A as well.
So go for go for Jerry and Barry, but meet all the new guys
too, you know. So that's.
What I want to do because I was a new guy at one time.

(56:41):
Exactly, exactly. And of course this is.
What they say and you know how they talk and and you know, see,
you can tell by talking to them if they go make it.
But what? Is it you say?
I'm a little skinny boy. I made it.
Yeah, you got to see if they know what time it is.
That's what Wolfie always says, right?
Yeah. Yeah.

(57:02):
So, but it's cool, man. From 5:15 PM Central to 645
Central there, y'all are going to be signing as a a special
meet and greet, something special with Nick, a Captain's
Corner happy hour. So that's cool.
And I know, I know that my friend Mike Mondo, remember that

(57:23):
name. Mike Mondo is going to be there.
And when you see him, say, say, Wolfie said, there he is.
And he'll pop, I promise. OK.
And Wolfie, OK, you say. There he is.
There he is. But you got to say it like that.
There he is. There he is.

(57:44):
That's perfect, Jerry. What he said.
There he is. That's hip hop.
Hip hop, Yeah. Well, tell Mike we said hey, so
and Billy and all the game, you know.
I will. I'm interested in meeting the
guys, you know, hear what they had to say, what all I mean, I
was new. I was new.
I can was yesterday what I went through, you know?

(58:08):
Yeah. That's a great perspective to
have because a lot of the guys don't have that perspective
about the Yeah, you. Know so that's good.
You can't do that. I mean, I was lucky that nobody
looked down on me that I know of.
And I had people like Rocky Johnson and all those guys
wrestling too, and they they treated me good and helped.
So, you know, I guess I was lucky.

(58:31):
Well, I mean you, you were luckybecause of the time frame you
were born in, because you got towork in the greatest time frame
of pro wrestling history and youworked in the greatest sport on
God's green earth. So you're you.
It was perfect. And then you got to play
baseball too. That's my other favorite.
Man, I was fixing to go there. You got Jimmy.
Yeah, that was something, you know, I played with Pittsburgh

(58:54):
and I was in Bradenton, FL when me and me and Randy was playing,
We were in Bradenton, FL. Because that was the home.
That was the home of the Reds there, right?
Forever. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Pittsburgh, they, they kind of shared the complex.
That's right, you know. Yeah.
I'm a big Cincinnati Reds fan, so that's that's I'm sorry to

(59:14):
say. Watching TV and I sure hope they
put what's his name in the Hall of Fame.
They need to Pete Rose. Yeah, absolutely.
How many people did that? Right, right.
You know, you know, they did, they bet and they did this, that
and the other. There's no harm done.
And they just, I don't know, somebody had it against him, I

(59:34):
think. But they, he's eligible.
I hope he gets. Yeah.
You know, I think that Japanese guy is going to be the reason
Pete gets in the Hall of Fame isthat guy that got caught almost
recently. What was it the greatest
baseball tawny? I think they're like, oh wait,
we can't kick him out of the sport for betting.
And then he was pretty much guilty because his his Japanese

(59:55):
interpreter was doing got in trouble for betting.
So I almost feel like that'll help Pete's case.
But you know, hopefully. He needs to be there.
When I was playing, I went to a camp with Johnny Bench.
Johnny Bench put it on and Johnny Bench told us a story.
He said, you know, boys, he saidI wouldn't be where I am today

(01:00:17):
if the catcher hadn't in front of me, hadn't got hurt.
He said I got one of his catchers mitts.
Matter of fact, Johnny Bench he gave me.
Yeah, he gave it and gave it to him.
I wouldn't have been a player like I was, but the catcher got
hurt in front of me and I got anopportunity to step in and when

(01:00:38):
I stepped in, I never stepped out.
So. I thought of this the other day
and I know both of you are goingto remember this, but one of my
favorite shows on Saturday morning with Johnny Bench was
the baseball. Yeah, the baseball bunch.
I love that show. I got a hunch you love the

(01:01:00):
baseball bunch. So it was.
Yeah, that was best. Yeah.
Yeah. And, you know, and Johnny's dad,
because Johnny, I think, was from the same area as Mickey
Mantle, and that was his big idol.
And he wanted to be like Mickey.But his dad, who had a lot of
good foresight, said, hey, Johnny, the quickest way to the

(01:01:21):
majors is be a catcher. And he did that.
And that was, you know, so. Yeah.
Catcher and pitcher. Yeah, catcher and pitcher for
sure, but you almost have to be supernatural to be a pitcher
too, you know? So a catcher, you just have to.
I mean, I'm sure your knees are probably wrecked, aren't they?
Oh. Yeah, yeah.

(01:01:42):
Yeah, I figured with baseball and then wrestling.
Come on, man. So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you, Jerry. Thank you so much with this
brother. Great episode man, thank you so
much. I hope it was, you know.
Yes, Sir, absolutely. Tell Mike we said hey, and all

(01:02:02):

said hey. Tell Kerry Morton we said hey,
Ricky and all of them so. OK, I'll do it man, and I'll be
sure and tell Mike there he is there.
