Pro Wrestling Wire | Richard Sartain of The Ding Dongs

#wcw #prowrestling #wwe This week on the show, we sit down for a rare and honest conversation with one-half of one of wrestling’s most talked-about teams from the late 1980s The Ding Dongs. From humble beginnings to the bright lights of WCW, our guest, Richard Sartain opens up about his journey through the world of professional wrestling forming the tag team Rock n Roll Rebels with Greg Evans in Deep South Wrestling. We discuss how WCW discovered the duo, the moment they learned about the now-infamous Ding Dongs gimmick, and whether they knew they were facing an uphill battle with southern wrestling crowds. You’ll hear stories about Jim Herd’s involvement, working with Tony Schiavone, and what it felt like to debut on national TV at Clash of the Champions against George South and Cougar Jay. The conversation dives deep into the backstage atmosphere from facing teams like The State Patrol, Rip Morgan & Jack Victory, and The Skyscrapers, to teaming with stars like Scott Hall, Trent Knight, and The Italian Stallion, We also explore what came next: the eventual end of the Ding Dongs, possible plans for a post-mask push, and what led to both men’s exit from WCW. Now, decades later, we reflect on how the Ding Dongs’ short-lived run became one of wrestling’s most enduring talking points. Our guest shares his thoughts on the modern wrestling scene, his memories of working with names like Mike Rotunda, Brian Pillman, and The Great Muta, and his message to fans who still remember the team that dared to be different
