This week on Retro Wrestling with Gene Jackson, we welcome one of the most fascinating, unfiltered, and downright entertaining minds in the history of the business, the legendary "HUSTLER" RIP ROGERS! Rip sits down with Gene for a wild, hilarious, brutally honest deep-dive into a lifetime spent learning, working, fighting, training, driving, booking, surviving, and thriving in the wrestling business. From bullshitting his way into his first match in 1977… to the insanity of ICW with Randy Savage… to Portland, Calgary, Puerto Rico, Alabama, Mid-South, Continental, Memphis, and everywhere in between — Rip tells stories only HE can tell. They cover: 🔥 Rip’s insane first match and his “pencil” misunderstanding 🔥 His years with Randy Savage: the fights, the intensity, the genius 🔥 Memphis, the Culkins, Nick Gulas, Watts, Ole Anderson, the Fullers 🔥 Why “being a good worker” doesn’t mean what fans think it does 🔥 Adrian Street, Miss Linda, and the greatest feud of his career 🔥 Training 70+ people who reached WWE 🔥 The chaos of Puerto Rico, spot shows, car rides, ribs, riots, and more 🔥 Why he can’t watch modern wrestling 🔥 His YouTube channel and the secret to great storytelling If you’re a fan of old-school stories, territory history, real psychology, and Rip’s one-of-a-kind delivery… this is an episode you do NOT want to miss.
