Tidbits: Maclins, Dyersburg heats up, Riverboat and Paragould

----I have a few more “Maclins” here that I did. Teko Murdoch is Teco Murdoch; Hendrich Hines is Edric Heinz and Big Indian Quixote is Big Indian Coyote.

----Dyersburg area heats up this weekend - As you will see in the Shows for The Weekend Sir MO is scheduled for NBW Saturday night along with a Rude vs Knight rematch, but his name is not on the posters. DCWF has “Family of Pain” coming in along with their regular crew. TLCW is doing O’Neal vs Starr with Flash as special ref and “Picture Perfect” V 1[Christian Jacobs/Jon Michael]/Stan Lee vs “Blackout Squad” [Big Steve/Oz/Bishop] as the main event. This is the first time that PP V1 has tagged since April of this year.

----Riverboat wrestling will be debuting next Saturday in Memphis, but I got a few more details on the shows. Apparently, the promotion has their advertising paid with a big ad in the Memphis Flyer. Promotion will be getting half of the gate for putting on the show, but will have no money invested. Good deal for them if they draw. Also, the ring is set up on the boat with the fans standing on the balcony to watch the show looking down into the ring. It should be fun. At least it is different.

----Paragould, AR is heating up with the announcement of Arkansas Championship Wrestling, which will be running every other Saturday night @ the National Guard Armory. As you can see from Shows for This Weekend, the roster is similar to OSCW [which I was given no reason why they stopped promoting under that moniker], but no Hambones. Also Lord Humongous from Memphis TV will be on the show vs Johnson. That could be a good stiff bout!! Ron Spence’s group runs here on November 4 with Huey vs Doink and they are advertising The Midnight Express. There was also a group called CWF that was making noise about starting in Paragould. Advice guys – just because a town is drawing does not mean it will support 4 promotions!! All you are going to do is burn it!!
