[1992-08-15-USWA-TV] Interview: Eddie & Doug Gilbert & Brian Christopher

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Brian Christopher is also part of this and they call themselves the New Memphis Mafia.

[Tim Evans]

Kinda funny that the Memphis Mafia was born after an attack on Tommy Rich only to see him join the group a couple weeks later with Buddy Landell.

I like these guys as a trio. Would like it a bit better if they had a big guy(physically) in the group.

Christopher complaining about a chain, then clips of Tommy Rich beating Doug Gilbert before both Gilberts take him out post-match. Eddie says the 3 of them are the new Memphis Mafia. Tommy Rich is still one of my favorite discoveries on this set, even if he's not even remotely prominent.

Christopher has strong words for Reno Riggins--a less-than-inspiring choice of babyface opponent. Eddie and Doug promise to take out every Memphis legend they want to throw at them. This is a stable with potential, but I agree they could use some muscle.

[garretta]

The beatdown of Rich looked good. Nice to see Wildfire back home in Memphis.

 

I know they don't acknowledge Brian as Lawler's son, but for those of us who know the irony of Brian joining up with one of his dad's sworn enemies is sweet.

 

Reno Riggins beating Brian? That's the first time I've ever heard of Riggins winning, and I wish they'd shown footage of it. I wonder what they were leading up to.

One thing bugs me about Memphis heels the more I watch.  Eddie hits the ref twice with a chain.  Anywhere else that would be grounds for the guy never being invited back.  But he keeps getting matches somehow.  It's hard to reconcile even with suspension of disbelief.  Same as some of the rampages the Moondogs went on, needed to be curbed a little to be effective.

Great promo though and Christopher is starting to find himself as a heel.
