Rick Del Santo's Classic Wrestling Talk Podcast w/Guest: The Original Dirty White Boy Jimmy Powell

The Rick Del Santo Classic Wrestling Talk Podcast joins the Retro Wrestling Archive Podcast Network with a great old school interview featuring the original “Dirty White Boy”, Jimmy Powell. Rick sits down with Jimmy for a detailed look back at his unique journey through the wrestling business from breaking in as a teenager, building and renting out his own wrestling ring, working outlaw shows, and eventually getting opportunities with Nick Gulas, Tojo Yamamoto, Deep South Wrestling, World Class, Texas All-Star Wrestling, Southern Championship Wrestling, and Memphis. Jimmy shares stories about learning the business the hard way, working with legends like Tojo Yamamoto, Terry Gordy, Ripper Collins, Luke Graham, Jeff Jarrett, Tony Anthony, Tommy Rich, Ted Allen, Jody Hamilton, Jerry Blackwell, Joe Pedicino, and many more. The conversation also covers his run as the Dirty White Boy, the Georgia Power tag team with Ted Allen, working under a mask as a Nightmare, the reality of traveling the territories, payoff stories, booking, old-school wrestling psychology, and why some of the best talents from that era never got the credit they deserved. If you enjoy honest territory era wrestling stories, Southern wrestling history, and hearing from names who lived the business from the inside, this is a great episode to check out.
