Retro Wrestling w/Gene Jackson – Episode #47: The D.I. Bob Carter: From the Dungeon to Dothan

Season 2026 · Episode 250

Tuesday, March 24, 2026 • Duration 01:35:42

From his early days growing up in Boston during the WWWF era… to surviving brutal tryouts under Gene Anderson and Nelson Royal… to training in the infamous Hart Dungeon… Bob Blackburn’s journey into professional wrestling was anything but ordinary

We dive deep into:

The insane 250-man tryout that only four survived
Training under Gene Anderson (and what those “tryouts” were really like)
Stu Hart, Bruce Hart, and a gimmick pitch so wild it nearly got him struck by lightning
Becoming “The D.I.” in Continental Wrestling
The Honor Guard, Mark Young, and tag team gold with Randy Colley
Working with a young Sid Vicious (and surviving the leg drop)
Why Austin Idol once refused to follow his promo
REAL heat in Montgomery and a riot level whipping angle
Losing a wheel off his car on I-40 on the way to Memphis… and selling his car to a state trooper
Living with Mark Calloway (The Undertaker) in Nashville
Why Memphis was the hardest hitting territory he ever worked
The phone call from Roman Gabriel that ended his wrestling career overnight

This is a raw, honest, hilarious, and occasionally jaw dropping look at what it was like working in the dying days of the territory system, when the miles were long, the money was thin, and the heat was very real.

If you love Continental Wrestling, late 80s Memphis, Eddie Gilbert stories, or behind the scenes tales from the road, this episode is for you.

The conversation dives deep into the culture of Memphis wrestling, the camaraderie and chaos behind the scenes, and how one fan’s childhood dream to be part of the business actually came true.
