Gilbert would later work for Mid South/UWF and found his niche as the company’s booker. He had his own heel stable of wrestlers “Hot Stuff International” and the UWF television programs became regarded as one of the best written shows in the industry. He would later book Continental with similar praise. Gilbert would have some success in WCW but he left there to return to independents where he could exert creative freedom. Eddie Gilbert was a decent wrestler, but his behind the scenes work had only a handful of equals. We also have to give him props for having both Missy Hyatt and Medusa in their prime. That has to be worthy of some consideration right?
