On this episode, Gene is proud to welcome special guest "Wildcat" Wendall Cooley! Wendall was a huge star in the territory days and one of Gene's favorite wrestlers growing up going to Memphis and Continental shows. They talk about Wendall's entire career but they do spend a lot of time discussing Wendall's time in Continental. They dissect his feud with "Exotic" Adrian Street and Miss Linda and the important role it played in establishing him as he just arrived in the territory. They talk about the importance of his memorable ring music and who gave it to him. They talk about his brief feud with Chris Colt and why it didn't take off the way they hoped it would. Wendall discusses why he enjoyed gimmicks like "pole matches" and how It broke up the monotony of working regular matches night in and night out. They also talk about working bullwhip matches with "Dirty" Dutch Mantell, working Sid Eudy in some of Sid's very early matches in his career, meeting Frankie Lancaster early on and how they came to be "the Heartbreakers" years later in Puerto Rico. Also, they talk in detail about Wendall's ill fated heel turn in 1987 when they had him join the Stud Stable and the Continental fans just weren't having it!
