Morton Downey Jr Show - Whiney Pro Wrestler meets Dr. D!

So, I came across this on YouTube.

Basically, Jim Wilson is/was a wrestler that might be disgruntled and is exposing the business, complete with revealing the inner workings and even alleging that he lost a job for refusing to sleep with a promoter in Australia in the 70s (pretty sure he's referring to Jim Barnett). And of course, Dr. D David Schultz is lighting his ass up.

But, not even just him. Dennis Coralluzzo is there burying him. Paul E. calls in and lets him have it. Even Morton Downey is cutting promos on the poor guy. Pretty sure I've heard the name Jim Wilson before and it may have been in relation to this but this is my first time seeing this video and damn, he's getting brutalized.


I Googled to see if this has ever been posted here but the only mention I've seen is a post from 2008 in the old Wrestling Observer Articles thread.

I saw this earlier this year and felt really bad for Wilson. His claims were was mocked and ridiculed. I understand where Schultz et al are coming from in seeking to protect the legitimacy of the business, but contrasting that with what Wilson alleged and having it made a clown show - this did not age well.
