Episode #09: Featured Guest - Downtown Bruno

  • Summary

  • We seem to be on a roll right now with fun interviews with some of Doug's best friends in the wrestling business so we figured we would keep that going and welcome the one and only Downtown Bruno to the show this week!

    Many fans are familiar with Bruno's time in the WWF/E as Dr. Harvey Wippleman and that Bruno is a best friends with Dewayne "the Rock" Johnson, and that Bruno managed in the Memphis territory but many don't realize that Bruno got his start in the Kansas City territory and spent some time working for Continental in Alabama in the 80's, and that Bruno was a very close friend to not only Doug, but to Tommy and Eddie Gilbert as well. Bruno shares a bunch of great stories from throughout his career including stories of working with a very young Sid Vicious in Alabama, working with Big Bubba and Goliath in Memphis, his USWA feud with Scott Bowden, working with Bertha Faye, Stacy Carter, Miss Texas, Emily Arthur, and many, many others. It's always a fun time talking to Bruno as he drinks beer and eats chickens wings down in good ol' Walls, Mississippi. So come hang out and listen in on a "Dangerous Conversation" with Dangerous Doug & Downtown Bruno!
