Recap of interview with The Missing Link

Posted: Jul 10th 2006 By: mikeiles

Dewey Robertson says Dr. Keith is full of zest AND full or vigor, that's the kinda guy you are ~ YAY! He gives a brief introspective of his 22 years of pre-Missing Link career and tells a story about how he invented the Missing Link name ~ YAY! I like stories! More stories, and Link's drug of choice marijuana and the downward spiral stemming from years of smoking it - RVD take note. He says he drank fifteen bottles of beer, a whisky and two bottles of wine per night at his peak, with his wife leaving him also.

Dr. Keith asks about the territories and the subsequent traveling. Dewey says there were 38 territories back in the day, and you could always pick up the phone and change territory. He now travels doing motivational speaking. Missing Link puts over JJ Dillon's book about life after wrestling. Dewey talks about the deaths of wrestlers saying 88 wrestlers have died in the last 20 years. "They have been dying of abuse."

Keith talks about an INGROWING TOENAIL he had a few weeks back, but says it doesn't compare with Dewey's cancer. Dewey says his catchphrase is "don't give up on tomorrow," and talks about life after addictions saying we have a great life in America. He once wanted to die, but now is glad for waking up. Keith is surprised that Dewey remembers all the stories he told.
Did WWE fail with the Missing Link? Link doesn't blame WWE, but felt he made a bad choice. After 10 months he just walked out, another bad choice. He says life is all about choices, and most of his were bad. Dewey says the reason behind his book is to help people. Keith says he book is different from similar books as it's not preachy.

Dewey puts over the Amsterdam Hall of Fame - he's not inducted, but he's an ambassador for them. Talk moves onto the Cauliflower Alley club. Keith asks if he has any desire to continue wrestling? He does, but is concentrating on motivational speaking. Dewey says HE HAS A MISSING LINK TOUPEE!

Dewey says he's been off the drink for fifteen years, but marijuana was harder to give up. Dewey says he is not the Missing Link anymore, time to edit the recap. He's since shaved off his Missing Link beard, Keith says Dewey had a beautiful manfro in the seventies. Keith talks about his stash of adult videos ~ YAY! Dewey goes into the hardships of wrestling, the amount of times he moved and the lack of savings.

Dr. Keith asks if Link has any advice for today's wrestlers in the WWE due to the wellness programme? "If you want a job in the WWE, you do what the boss wants. You know what he wants don't you?" Dewey says he can only speak for himself, and refuses to shame any particular wrestler. He won't tell anyone what to do, but will only talk of his own experiences.
Keith reveals his age... 32 next month. "My God, I didn't realize I was speaking to such a young guy!" Keith didn't know that nudist parks were as good until he read the book. Dewey confirms he's no longer at a nudist colony. Checkout Dewey's official site at www.deweythemissinglink.ca.
