Former WWE producer and wrestling legend Gerald Brisco and son Wes Brisco recently joined VOC Nation to share stories about their respective careers.
Wes Brisco has been wrestling for the better part of a decade, most notable for his time in Impact Wrestling as a member of the Aces and Eights stable. Years before Wes would even consider following in his father’s footsteps, Gerald Brisco revealed his young son once showcased his strength when he landed an infant strike to Hulk Hogan’s groin.
“One day we heard a bunch of motorcycles coming down our driveway. We looked out the window and there was Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake,” Gerald said. “We’re walking back toward the house and [Hulk] looked down at Wes and said, ‘Hey Wes, do you like wrestling?’ Wes said, ‘Oh yeah I like wrestling, I can throw a good punch too.’ So he reared back – Hogan’s [tall] and Wes is [short] – he reared back and he hits Hogan and hits him right smack dab in the crotch. He knocked
Tommy “Tiny” Lister Played a Wrestler, For Real
Lister achieved his greatest fame on the big screen, but had an oversized impact during professional wrestling’s most colorful and muscle-obsessed era.
Tommy “Tiny” Lister, a glowering cinematic powerhouse who loomed and scowled larger than life throughout so many of our childhoods, died earlier this month at the age of 62.

In an era characterized by cartoonish theatrics and muscular excess, Lister, playing the wrestler “Zeus,” ended up with a short if memorable career as the “real” Zeus, bent on avenging himself against Hogan for overshadowing him
Calculating the 500 Greatest Wrestlers in WWE History (Part two) By MattySpice on Jan 9, 2021, 6:00pm EST 27
I don t know what you did during your increased amount of free time in 2020, but I spent it doing what I love to do best: making an obscenely large and markedly unimportant spreadsheet in which I attempt in vain to mathematically calculate the greatest wrestler in the history of WWE! I wouldn t be surprised if someone has attempted this before, but my love of meaningless statistics compelled me to do it anyway. After spending countless hours, I just needed to share the fruits of many long, depressing hours. While it is not perfect, and at times disappointing, I do think in general that the rankings brought about from this project match common consensus pretty closely. This list is intended to only describe each wrestler s career within WWE/ WWF/ WWWF/ Capitol Wrestling, though as noted in the Breakdown there are some exceptions to this rule. Wrestlers are count
