This month is the THIRTY year anniversary of the very first Eddie Gilbert Memorial Brawl in February 1996, where Eddie’s friends, family and peers joined with some of the top rising stars in the northeast for a night of memorable pro wrestling in Eddie’s honor. In true Eddie fashion it was athletic, it was exciting, it was wild, and it was something anyone who saw it wouldn’t forget.

NWA World Champion Dan Severn is challenged by one of his trainers and mentors, Al Snow. Jerry Lawler has Jim Cornette in his corner as he battles Doug Gilbert! Jim also leads Tommy Rich into battle against Johnny Gunn (Tom Brandi)! Dory Funk Jr vs. Tommy Gilbert in a special legends match! Ace Darling vs. up-and-comer Kid Flash (Billy Kidman)!

Plus: Debbie Combs, Tommy Cairo, Rik Ratchet, Donnie B and many more!

My future colleagues Dave Prazak and Rich Palladino are your ring announcers!

And I bend space and time to go back and be on the call to guide you through all the chaos!

Catch it now in the “Coraluzzo Classics” section of ProWrestlingLibrary.com!
