This week Doug & Tommy welcome Jerry Brisco to the show!  It’s a great conversation as they discuss: Jerry’s favorite territory to work in, working with Frank Goodish early in his career prior to becoming “Bruiser Brody”, the reason he and his brother Jack never worked for Verne Gagne’s AWA territory, working with Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch for the WWF tag team titles in late ’84, a story about Tommy & Eddie Gilbert working against the Briscos in Kansas City,  their classic feuds with the Funks as well as Steamboat & Youngblood, working with Jerry Lawler in Memphis & Georgia, he and Jack’s feelings about Jay & Mark Briscoe using their name, and a WILD story about Jerry nearly killing Tommy Rich in Georgia due to prodding from Michael Hayes!  All this and much, much more!  A fun conversation with one of the true legends of the sport!
