8.18.06 NWA Mid-South Wrestling West Memphis, AR

----Matt Riviera beat Frank Thornton; Don Bass beat Tatt2;Rebecca Raze beat Chris Rocker in an intergender match; The Cowboys [Ricky Murdoch/Bill Nasty] beat The Posse[Simon Reed/'Lil Chris] Derrick King and Matt Riviera (with Honest John) went to a double-countout and Main Event: Brian Christopher beat Kamala via disqualification.

----I was told this show was first a Don Bass show, then a Memphis Wrestling show and then finally a NWA Mid-South show...I got two reports with attendance being guessed to be around 135 and gate of a little over a grand...No shows included "Too Cool 2" [Tim Grind/Flex]; Lady Vixen; Stan Lee and Bill Dundee. Dundee is suffering from a very sore knee as that is also the reason he did not do Memphis Wrestling last week...Jerry Lawler was there, but did not work[was schedule to work Kamala] due to having nose surgery just a few days ago. It might have been sinus surgery, but he has had some plastic surgery, so who knows....Backstage and in the crowd were one half of the legendary jobber team "Ruff N Ready", Rashad, Rodney Grimes [selling gimmicks] and Guy Coffee. Coffee was selling Lawler gimmicks as he always does...Told Riviera was old school and was trained by Bill Ash....Weird how when Rocker works indy shows most of the time he is Rocker, not Mr. America??
