RassleTube, RassleChronicle, 10 Years Ago in Memphis and 30 Years Ago in Memphis!!!

----I have added three videos to RassleTube this week. PP/Tatt2 vs Flash/Cowboys, White/Starr vs Fire/Flame and a video of Loose Cannon added to My Favorites. The Cannon video is from Deadly Dale’s myspace.com site and Cannon is promoting Dale’s new CD coming out. I have no idea what Cannon is saying as my sound has been messed up on youtube.com [only on that site??] for the last week or so. But, Cannon’s expressions and hand gestures crack me up without even knowing what he is saying.

----RassleChronicle covers the results of RAW/Nitro 10 years ago. This week is posted.I have also added a Herb Kunze Wrestling Tidbits column that was published at this time.

----10 Years Ago in Memphis from the Meltz: USWA: In this week’s USWA news, the infamous Larry Burton got his first mention in the Observer. It was noted that he was now getting involved in running aspects of the promotion, and was already getting major heat with some of those involved….. The Saturday morning tv show on December 7th was said to be the hottest show in a long time. PG-13 challenged USWA Tag Team Champions, Steven Dunn & Flash Flanagan to a title match, which took place there and then. PG-13 initially won the titles after Randy X (Randy Hales) had interfered, but Brian Christopher came out and told referee Downtown Bruno (Harvey Wippleman) what had happened, so the decision was reversed….. Several promo segments took place, with Randy X asked Cory Maclin to join the Nation of Domination, nicknaming him ‘Malcolm Maclin’. Also, Kareem Olajuwou (formerly Reggie B Fine) asked Brickhouse Brown to join the NOD, but he refused, so Olajuwou whipped him with a belt. Later in the show, Randy X hit Cory Maclin with a briefcase, after Maclin had turned down his NOD offer. Fellow announcer Dave Brown got physically involved in the angle, pulling Randy X off Maclin. This was the first time in 20 years of announcing the show that Brown had gotten physically involved in an angle……… The major superstar who joined the Nation of Domination this week (promised last week) turned out to be Miss Texas (Jacqueline).
