On episode 66, our guest is Wild Bill Wiles, also known as Bilvis Wesley of ECW fame. Bill is best known for his days as a member of the New Dangerous Alliance with CW Anderson. That tandem is responsible for some of the most memorable moments of the latter days of ECW, both on their television shows and on PPV. Bill talks about being a fan of wrestling when he was a young man, as well as his close friendships with Balls Mahoney and Chris Candido. From there, we cover the gamut of his ECW days including, dealing with Paul Heyman, his hand in the creation of the "Justin Credible" gimmick, working with guys like Danny Doring and Roadkill, "Nova" Mike Bucci, Chris Chetti, and more. He also tells stories about being in the ring with legendary figures like Dusty Rhodes, Bam Bam Bigelow, and New Jack. Bill also talks about his televised role in the infamous September 1997 in ring angle between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, and what is was like to participate as an extra in a WWE angle in those days. We also converse about his roles working in the early days of 3PW, working for Francine at Legends Of The Arena, and the Wrestling With Disaster project. We go over the various ECW reunions, and his dislike for them. And finally, we cover his role as a trainer for The MF Pro Academy, a wrestling school under the banner of The Monster Factory, LLC, where he himself trained. He talks about his favorite students, working on the MFPW shows, and the upcoming weekend long camp at the academy, that will feature guys like Bill, Danny Cage, Les Thatcher, Rudy Gonzalez, and more.
