Unexpected Journeys in Wrestling with GILLBERG!

Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis

Picture this: a storm leaves chaos in its wake, knocking out power across several states, and yet, we find solace in the world of professional wrestling. Hurricane Helene threw us for a loop, but nothing could dim the excitement of kicking off our "October Frights" series with the ever-entertaining Duane "Gilberg" Gill. Known for his parody of WCW's Goldberg, Duane takes us back to his beginnings—setting up rings, taking on the role of a "jobber," and eventually stepping into the spotlight as the beloved Gillberg character. Through humor and nostalgia, he shares how an unexpected neighborly connection with Barry Hardy launched his wrestling journey, and offers a peek behind the curtain at the wrestling industry's unique dynamics. It's a blend of resilience and passion, with plenty of laughs along the way.
But this episode isn't just about wrestling tales; it's about friendship and gratitude. Our conversation with Duane wraps up on a touching note, as we exchange stories and reflect on the unwavering support and kindness we've shared over the years. It's a testament to the power of meaningful relationships—both in the ring and in life. Despite missing a potential iconic storyline with the real Goldberg, Duane's reflections remind us of the entertainment in wrestling and the importance of connecting with the audience. Join us for a journey filled with heartfelt appreciation and laughter, as we navigate the stormy aftermath with stories that warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.
