In an interview we had with him on July 19th, 2015 — our first-ever interview as a website — Wilkes graciously opened up about being taught how to wrestle by The Fabulous Moolah, wrestling for Mid-South Wrestling, AWA, GWF, All Japan, WCW, and his feud with Bret Hart for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Del also candidly revealed how his life spiraled out of control to the point of taking 200-pills a day. He would spend ten months in prison before having the wake-up call he so desperately needed. This is the story of Del “The Patriot” Wilkes, in his own words.
