RassleBits: Mid-South Coliseum Update and TLCW Event Tonight!!

----It looks like that the Mid-South Coliseum will be closed and used just for graduations and such, but will not be torn down as many expected. I talked with Brian Heap [I linked his story about the Coliseum a few days back] and he e-mailed the following, “I don’t think the city can afford to keep the Coliseum open for regular use. Unless a team or tenant had enough money to make the building and compliant and pay for some renovations to it, I don’t see how that hockey thing is possible. I think it will be effectively be shut down December 31, 2006, but maintained well enough it could be used a few times a year for simple events like graduations. “ He also noted that his speculation of the hockey team not coming in was his opinion, not based on anything else.

----TLCW is doing a free show of sorts tonight at 7:30 PM in Ripley. It is free to everyone and if you attend the show, then you get $1 off Saturday night’s show. They are doing a Karaoke sing off with Dustin Starr and Derrick King.
