Tidbits: Lebanon, Riverboat, Raze, Osceola competition, Buster's Bomb,Vanity and "Off The Ropes"

---- I was told that 15-20 DCWF fans made the trip to Lebanon, Tennessee to support C4P as they competed at the NWA Night of Champions hosted by NWA Top Rope. Anybody got results from that show?? C4P always has a group of hardcores that follow them every where.

----Riverboat wrestling is on the “Memphis Riverboat” debuting October 21 and with three more dates after that - 11.04, 11.18 and 12.02.06. There will be plugs on 93 X out of Memphis and the Coyote Ugly girls helping out.

----Rebecca Raze has pulled out of the all girls show that is scheduled for October 28, 2006 in Columbia, TN. Every girl on the show is a vet and she seems to be worried about everyone being stiff. I thought it was the other way around – all the vets work light and greenhorns work stiff?? This was a good opportunity for her and any of the girls. We will have more info on the card as it gets closer to the date.

----“Big Daddy” LaFonce Latham may have some competition on Fridays night. I am being told there is a promotion trying to start up only about a 20 minute drive from Osceola, AR. Not sure what town and who, but there already people talking about it. Friday night has been a tradition in Osceola, but if the fans are given an alternative better product, then MCW might lose some customers.

----“Hellraiser” Buster Johnson has a great piece on Memphis Wrestling changing time slots and Memphis Wrestling history in general. Take a look at Buster’s Bomb – “Lost Tradition”.

----MAW Valet Vanity will be doing the Women's Extreme Wrestling Pay Per View, December 1, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA at The New Alhambra Sports and Entertainment Center. [old ECW Arena] For more information and details check out the website at www.wextremew.com. Congrats to the local talent for getting a shot. I am not sure if they air on national PPV, but they do a lot DVD sales and you can order shows off their site. As you will be able to see this is a male oriented promotion with blondes, blood and boobs.

----A new wrestling radio program has popped up. “Off The Ropes” is a local wrestling show that can be heard on 730ESPN in Memphis on 730 AM Wednesdays from 8p-10p CST. The show can also be heard online at www.730espn.com and click "listen here". The host is Jason Turgeon and Co-Hosted by "The One and Only, The Man, the Myth, the Legend...Bob". They focus on WWE, ECW and TNA. They do a MMA bit [remember no MMA on RIOT!!!] and don’t focus much on the Memphis Wrestling, because Jason said he just hasn’t been entertained by it in a long time. Let’s get him interested and have some local guys on there!!! They are also have a myspace.com page @ http://www.myspace.com/offtheropes.
