This week's Retro Wrestling with Gene Jackson is brought to you by our good friends at the KAYFABE CAVE in Pulaski, Tennesee!

On this episode Gene brings back recent guest on the USWA, Bubba White to discuss his time as The Mighty Goliath.

From his early days breaking into the business in the mid-80s to teaming with Big Bubba and Downtown Bruno as the unstoppable “Downtown Connection,” Bubba pulls back the curtain on his time in the CWA. Hear stories about working with legends like Jerry Lawler, Rocky Johnson, Jerry Blackwell, and the Midnight Rockers, plus wild road tales from traveling the Memphis loop, the truth about the Super Heavyweight Championship, and the night he broke his leg in the ring. Bubba also shares memories of an unforgettable 1991 tour of Japan, his impressions of future stars like Shawn Michaels and The Rock, and plenty of hilarious stories from wrestling’s wildest territory, including being chased around a football field during a match by Bill Dundee with a cattle prod, Goliath, Big Bubba, and Austin Idol take a trip to the Zoo, and fun times wrestling Uncle Elmer and Billy Travis.

If you love classic Memphis wrestling, big-man brawls, and backstage tales you won’t hear anywhere else, you don’t want to miss this one!
