  • Re-View #59: Special Interview w/"The Spellbinder" Del Rios
    2025/07/02

    On this week's episode Gene Jackson welcomes Del Rios, who you may know as the Spellbinder from the USWA or Phantasio from the WWE. Del has had a number of personas throughout his wrestling career and in the process has had not only a pretty unique and extraordinary pro wrestling career, but the same can be said for his life in general. Del was the very first ever WWF "Developmental Wrestler" having his very first professional wrestling match at a WWF RAW TV taping before being hired on and sent to the USWA in Memphis to develop. As strange as that sounds, that's not even close to being the most unique and interesting part of Del's history. Tune in and hear about the dangerous life Del led before finding his way into the wrestling business and the events that led him into professional wrestling. They discuss his friendships with Brian Christopher, Sid Vicious, Big Vito, and so much more! This is an interview you don't wanna miss!

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!
