  • Re-View #58: Special Interview w/Moondog Splat
    Jun 25 2025

    This week it's a special edition of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast as host Gene Jackson welcomes a special guest who we saw a lot of during 1993, Moondog Splat! A fun conversation as Gene digs into Bubba White's time as a Moondog as they discuss a ton of topics including: the coaching he received before taking on the gimmick, what Richard Lee was like away from the ring, his relationship with Moondog Spot and what led to his eventual departure from the USWA, working with the Harlem Knights and a couple of intense situations that resulted from it, thoughts on Brian Christopher & Scotty Flamingo, the Big Black Dog, "working" with the Harris Brothers, did the Moondogs intentionally hurt the enhancement talent?, Was there ever talk of having a "Moonpuppy" join the team?, the hilarious "Outlaw" Don Bass, some fun road stories, and much, much more! It's a really fun conversation with a guy who never spoke! Here's his chance and he's got plenty to say!


    This episode is brought to you by the KAYFABE CAVE in Pulaski, Tennessee! Come to Pulaski and meet Moondog Splat a.k.a. the Mighty Goliath on Saturday August 23rd from NOON to 3pm!
