LIVE !! Bill Ash, Episde 1003

Bill Rush joins Brian Tramel for a new episode of the flagship show “Shootin’ The Shiznit”! On this episode, BT sits down with former Memphis wrestling referee and wrestler Bill Rush to reflect on his lifelong passion for the sport and his experiences in the USWA territory. From watching Saturday morning wrestling with his family in the ’70s to working with legends like Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, and Eric Embry, Rush shares stories of his early training on outlaw shows, his transition from wrestler to referee, and his unforgettable moments in the ring—including taking a dangerous top-rope piledriver from Embry on live TV. The conversation dives deep into the culture of Memphis wrestling, the camaraderie and chaos behind the scenes, and how one fan’s childhood dream to be part of the business actually came true.
