Doug Gilbert is a professional wrestler from Memphis, Tennessee who wrestles the Independent circuit. He is the brother of "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert and the son of wrestler/referee/promoter Tommy Gilbert. It's been said that Doug Gilbert helped the demise of Power Pro Wrestling, a short-lived local Memphis wrestling promotion, by giving a shoot interview where he revealed to the audience that Brian Christopher held his championship titles in the United States Wrestling Alliance because Jerry Lawler owned the company. He also accused the promoter Randy Hales of smoking crack during the broadcast and accused Jerry Lawler of raping a thirteen year old girl,[1] which was later recanted. [2] ...

Doug Gilbert was given the Nightmare Freddie gimmick by his father, Tommy Gilbert, who had returned to wrestling after being a referee for a time but opted to stay under a mask during the tenure. Nightmare Freddy (or just Freddy, as he was usually called) was a fairly successful character in the Memphis area and was actually a babyface for most of his run. He even got to feud with a guy named Master of Pain, who later went on to become The Undertaker. Freddy was, of course, based on Freddy Krueger, the main character in the Nightmare On Elm Street films. He even came out wearing the bladed glove. Under Doug's tenure under the rubber mask, Freddy would go on to team with a Jason (from Friday the 13th) inspired wrestler as well as a Frankenstein, a Wolfman, and Leatherface. Freddy would also get a tour in Japan where it gained even more popularity, and helped start a "movie monster/wrestler" boom over there as well, most notably in the W*ing federation, where Doug joined his brother Eddie in an infamous match. Feeling betrayed by the company, Doug, wrestling as Nightmare Freddy, and Eddie, as The Boogeyman (a gimmick inspired by the main character from the Halloween series of horror movies), broke character after a tag match, removed their masks, and shot on the company. Doug continues to wrestle as Freddy in Japan, and is still very popular, fighting other “monster” wrestlers like Leatherface and The Cryptkeeper.
