Tidbits: New Dyersburg Promotion, "Cheap Heat", Derrick King Retires and MAW Memphis Show

----Rumors flying like crazy today that Dale and Sandra Walker are going to start promoting again in Dyersburg on a weekly basis. I was told that they bought the old Country Nights building and are planning to start running on 9.23.06. And yes, that will be on the same night and time as DCWF at Peppermint Pond every Saturday night. I will fill everyone in when I get more info.

----“Cheap Heat” this week with Gene Jackson has some good points about indy wrestling.

----Posted on Simon Reed’s myspace.com account today was "Derrick King retires today!!! "DK" Derrick King is saying goodbye his fans one last time tonite in Jackson, TN. He'll be wrestling "Superstar" Bill Dundee in 1 on 1 action. Thanks to all the loyal DK fans over the years." And then I started getting e-mails about it. LOL No, DK is not retiring. Reed was just messing around.

----I was told today that I was off about 40 people on the MAW house estimate Saturday. So, they probably had around 60 paid with a $600 house. Not good. What did a show like this cost with Steiner/Bagwell?? I was also told that the show was horrible and none of the guys even looked like wrestlers. That is not good either – you draw 60 fans, but you can’t impress them. The 100 people figure actually came from the MAW “office” and the other new figure is from a very legit source.
