Ringside Chat With Tracy Smothers



by Phil Allely

Tracy Smothers is known by many as one half of the exciting WCW tag team The Wild Eyed Southern Boys (alongside partner Steve Armstrong), he is also a man ECW fans will remember as a member of the FBI (full Blooded Italians). Smothers is a true veteran of the mat game, touring the world and performing wherever he could. I even saw him here in Northern Ireland in a small town hall (circa 2007).

This DVD (which I purchased from Tracy himself) is a Highspots produced sit-down chat about his life in wrestling and some of his best memories/stories.

These include how he got into the business, his big break, trips to Japan, his time in WCW, best matches, road tales, match highlights and of course soe of his most well known situations.

He talks openly about his re-emergence in ECW and the formation of the FBI, his involvement in the WWE One Night Stand event and a very memorable match with Lex Luger in 2005, plus the JBL confrontation.

This is a must for any shoot interview fans and anyone who has a passing interest in wrestling. Tracy is a great subject to cover and this is very high on the Highspots list of must see/own DVD.
