I Was Wrong!! Fair Draws Huge Numbers!!

----I finally got to talk with a source that says there was around 40,000 people that went thru Delta Fair gate this year and a lot of them were watching wrestling. Please note that the people came to the Fair, not to see wrestling, but apparently when the wrestling started - a lot of people were watching the show. I was told anywhere from 1000 to 2000 fans were watching wrestling at any given time as it looked like miles of fans when they were standing in the ring. The Fair committee tried to set up the wrestling in a building, but Corey Maclin made sure it was outside and everyone involved seem to think that was a great decision. The Fair had much more to offer this year along with having a good weather day. It seem to draw a lot of people. The rodeo was going on at the same time as wrestling and everyone says that the wrestling drew more people. Ironic that during all the commercials that aired on all networks on Memphis TV - not one of them mentioned wrestling. It will interesting to see if Memphis Wrestling took got the best out of this opportunity and promoted the TV show. We will be able to see in the ratings this upcoming week.
