I couldn't agree more with his last statement.

Agreed. Always good to see interviews with guys who aren't broke, bitter and broken.

Disagree. An interview with a dead guy is a license to print money.

I was never a big fan of Duggan's in-ring work, but every time I've seen the guy shoot, he comes across as very down-to-earth and classy.
-
The last part of that was so true.

One Jim Duggan match that stands out in my mind was against Vader in WCW. At the time, Vader was squashing everyone. However, in the beginning of this match, Vader hit Duggan with a clothesline, but, Duggan just stood there and said, "Not tonight, Baby. Not tonight!"
I totally marked out, got closer to the television, and said to myself, "This is gonna be good."

Anybody remember Duggan's heel work from down south?

I only kept track of him thru the mags when he was in the Mid-South area. I remember him feuding with Butch Reed and also Ted Dibiase.
-
I never followed FCW, but I've occasionally run across a Duggan promo or two while searching Youtube.

I remember him from the Gordon Solie WCW days. He was a semi-jobber back then, the type who put up a pretty good fight against the top guys but would get pinned in the end. I don't recall him having much of a persona, except that he was big.

Lol
"I'm Yul Brynner, and I'm dead now................"
To quote the immortal Bill Hicks.... "what the hell's this guy selling?"

LOL!!
His heel mic work was remarkably similar to when he worked face..."tough guy!" ;)
About the only difference was he tossed out a few insults at the fans.

Lizzy, are you sure about that? Gordon never worked for WCW....he worked at Georgia and Florida championship wrestling promotions...but I think he was sent home by the time the retards that run WCW came around. I know Duggan was in WCW for awhile as a mid-carder...probably mid 90's or so, is that when you mean?

I'm talking about the wrestling that was on TBS, at 6:00pm (est) on Saturday, during the 80s. He was still "Big" Jim Duggan at the time. Tommy "Wildfire" Rich and Mr. Wrestling II were top faces back then.

Oh hell yeah! You just mean Georgia Championship Wrestling right? The WCW thing threw me. That was some awesome wrestling on TBS at that time, never missed it.
-
Know a guy that is an insurance adjuster and went to Duggan's house for a flood. He said it was horrible, bowls, dishes, cups, candy wrappers everywhere. Half eaten food that was put down weeks ago and thats where it stayed. He said the guy is totally unstable.

There was a cool heel down there at the time, whose name I couldn't remember. It finally came to me: Austin Idol.

Yeah, he was a cool heel....never stayed in any territory very long.....I remember the very first time I caught the show as a kid, Tommy Rich was chasing Masked Superstar around with a bullwhip.....I was hooked.... ;D

I believe he also went by Mr. Gulf Coast. He's selling real estate down in Florida and will not talk about the business. One of the best mic and ring performers.

... and will not talk about the business.
Guys like that today crack me up!

Seriously, I remember working backstage at one of my first events.
We had to walk out to the ticket table and I said something to one of the “senior trainees,” to which he whispered back to me very sternly, “Shh, kayfabe.”
I thought to myslef, “WTF!?!”
There’s no kayfabe anymore.
To me, it’s like if Stallone maintained character at the Rocky premier!
Who are you trying to fool? Nobody believes this shit is real nowadays!
Although, in hindsight, I think it’s reasonable to speculate that many indy fans do buy into it.
I’m talking about your inbred, lower-lower class, 3rd grade educated, white/trailer park trash demographic.
Fukking people I do not miss…
Not for one second.

He was the same way ih the mid-atlantic area when he got here too....what is funny now is going back and watching promos from the old days and catching references that I didn't as a kid, etc... one was Flair and Valentine cutting a promo and for some reason Flair threw in about all the ladies knowing who Big Don Kernodle was and Valentine had to turn away because he started laughing......man do I miss that stuff.
