Tidbits: TLCW results, Dyersburg gates, Memphis TV backstage and Lawler??

----TLCW results from 10.21.06 in Ripley, TN – As usual, not all the complete results – Chris O’Neal had Flash Flanagan in the walls of Jericho - Rashard jumps in and then O’Neal puts Rashard in the walls followed by Flash gets DQed for using the TLCW belt on O’Neal…Big Steve puked in the ring for two weeks in row. Big Steve over Stan Lee…”Black Out Squad” [Oz/Bishop] over “Picture Perfect” V1[Christian Jacobs/Jon Michael]…Pokerface jumped Derrick King – babyfaces saved DK…Shannon Lee said he is going to NBW during an interview…“Posse” [Simon Reed/Lil Chris] beat Foxy Haynes/Dell Tucker in a “spray paint your opponent match”—3 corners was silly string – one corner had paint – they painted Foxy. I am not sure whose idea that was about the spray paint bout, but great fun idea.

----NBW, DCWF and TCLW battle continued this week, but from all my sources they are saying NBW had a larger crowd than anyone. I do not reveal my sources, as everyone knows, but a referee, two workers and a few fans called or wrote in to say that DCWF had less than 30 paid, TCLW had a $119 house and I do know for fact that NBW had 37 paid. Family and friends made up more, so there were probably about 150 fans to see all three shows this weekend. Not good, but NBW seems to be making a bit of dent.

----Memphis TV backstage was the team of Fire & Flame. I am being told they will start 11.04 at the tapings…Don’t look for the Cowboys to stay much longer…Neil Taylor got pissed because he came to the last two taping and they only used him for a run-in. I was told he left pissed and let Nate the Rat know where he was going to wrestle Saturday night – the Riverboat. Taylor is not expected back…The crew were told not to work the Riverboat…Kidd Kastle broke a rib in his match…Maclin signed a contract to extend the show to past December. The company and station are very happy with the time slot and ratings.

----Ok, last Friday night Lawler was at the Grizzles opening party and now a video clip of him shows up on Channel 3 News of him and a masterlock?? Why is he not showing up at the tapings?? Maclin is saying it is because his mother on the air and was overheard telling others that Lawler was in California??
