- Taped October 2, 1999.

- Tully talks about college football to start, noting that it was too much of a business for him in the early years.  Got shifted from quarterback and eventually to defensive end, at which point he dropped out of school and went to work for his dad, Joe Blanchard, running what would eventually become Southwest Championship Wrestling down in San Antonio. 

- Each of the towns had it’s own TV and booker, making it tough to book a coherent product overall.

- His wrestling in the 70s was mainly as a summer job while playing football and going back to school.  He learned a lot from gigs in Florida and North Carolina, and used that to help out his own home promotion.  They ended up buying a grocery store and converting it to a faux-arena, and had great success doing so.  They went broke overpaying the wrestlers, though.  He blames himself for not having a vision for the future.

- He left the company in the early 80s due a coke problem and wanted to get his life back on track.  He’s actually quite candid about his cocaine addiction throughout the interview. 

- Went to Kansas City next, which he compares to Siberia.  Bad houses, cold winters.

-         Got into a car accident around this time that severed his lat muscles and ended his football career. 

-         So SCW is paying $7000 a week to be on the USA network, but Fritz ran most of Texas, so Tully gave out USA’s phone number on one episode of the show and encouraged viewers to call in with their favorite matches or angles from SCW.  He wanted to prove to USA that SCW was valuable, even though Fritz controlled most of Texas.  The switchboard become swamped with calls, and USA kicked the Blanchards off the station and sold the time to the WWF, which they held onto until moving to Viacom in 2000.  There was also the matter of a five-alarm bladejob Tully did on the TV show that nearly got them kicked off before that, but he doesn’t mention that one for some reason. 

-         Talks about Gino Hernandez, who apparently wanted to be Elvis and was more into the drugs and chicks than the actual wrestling.  Tully thinks that the OD was a cover story and his death was actually a mob hit due to Gino pissing off the wrong people.  Wouldn’t shock me, either.  More...
