Episode #70 of Dangerous Conversations w/Doug Gilbert & Tommy Rich is a special tribute episode remembering the life and career of Phil Hickerson, who passed away this week at the age of 79 in Jackson, Tennessee.Phil wasn’t just another guy on the card. He was tough, believable, versatile, and the kind of wrestler who could make anybody look better just by being in the ring with them. Tommy shares memories of wrestling Phil in his very first match in Tupelo, while Doug talks about Phil being part of his first angle in Tennessee and the lessons he learned from working with him.This episode is part career retrospective, part locker room tribute, and part celebration of a man who left a much bigger mark on wrestling than he often gets credit for.If you only remember Phil Hickerson from one run, one gimmick, or one era, this episode gives you a much deeper look at just how respected he was by the people who worked with him, rode with him, learned from him, and loved him.Rest in peace, Phil Hickerson. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
