wasn't there a wrestler called Dr feel good Dr. Feelgood, and yes, another Memphis gimmick. His version was a little more lax than Dr. Death. It seems there were alot of guys with Dr. and Prof. in their names back in the territory days. Quite a few, but most of them didn't really have a gimmick to go along with the name.

Dr Tom Prichard was a Doctor of Desire. And David Schultz was the Doctor of......D? He was mainly a hell, yes? Maybe he, like Undertaker of late, just liked to kick people in the dick?

Dr. Samuel Sheppard invented the mandible claw. And whose life they would base the The Fugitive show and movie on. Dr. Cube in Kaiju Big Battel was a plastic surgeon Johnny Legend's Incredibly Strange Wrestling promotion in Cali years ago had, uhm, the Abortionist. Several "nurse" characters/gimmicks out there for sure. BB from WWF, Asya's original WCW gimmick.

In my hometown, there was a guy that claimed he used to be a wrestler back in the '60s called the Masked Medic, which was believable, except the part where he said he was a former world champion, which I knew was b.s. When I was older, I tried looking up info about the Masked Medic online, and I found bunches of masked tag teams from back then called the Masked Medics, the Medics, Los Medicos, the Interns, etc. Maybe he was one of those guys, or maybe he just made up the whole thing. Who knows? There was another guy in my hometown who claimed to have been Spoiler #2, but that's another story for another thread.

This made me think of being 5 years old, watching wrestling with my dad, my uncle, and my great uncle. Dr. Tom Prichard had just came to the ring accompanied by his nurse. My uncle said, "Look at that. He don't know what to do with that." My great uncle said, "I know what to do with it, I just can't anymore." Naturally, it was a few years before I really understood that.

I may be mistaken, but I read somewhere that Tom Prichard was given the "doctor" gimmick by the boys because he was the one that provided the pills and weed for his riding partners. In his rf shoot, Chris Candido said that before he started taking drugs, he would ask for Pritchard's advice, Tom told him to just give him the stuff and he would dissapear it lol.

Several "nurse" characters/gimmicks out there for sure. BB from WWF, Asya's original WCW gimmick. I remember reading about The Abortionist in an article on ISW in an old issue of Wrestling World Magazine. It mentions how he brought a burlap sack with him to the ring and the match ended when he shoved his opponent's head into the sack and his opponent responded by letting out a blood curdling scream and running to the back! When I first read this article (the issue came out around '95-96. as there was quite a bit about Survivor Series '95 fallout) I was only 12 so I didn't know what an abortionist was. But as I got older and came across this magazine, that image became a whole lot more funny.

Not a medical doctor, but MsChif has a doctorate, I imagine, being a microbiologist.

Dr. Stevie's character was what I imagine a solid physician gimmick should be.

DOCTOR D, the D stood for Death. Shultz changed it for his reasons. YOU ask him.
And I love to read Madison's recollection of Memphis wrestling.

for about a month in early 2000, there was b.b./barbara bush, who was a rn/emt. it was hard finding pictures of her in her emt uniform, though, as she didn't last long and mostly competed in bikini contests and the like.
