----Nightmares double their viewing crowd in their quarter. Corey Maclin mentioned Danny Davis and OVW after the bout, but didn’t mention Ken Wayne, who has a school in his backyard. Who was the BeeKeeper here?? Wasn’t Buddy Wayne doing this gimmick one time??...White/Brian C gets almost a 5,000 increase. White actually holds the record in for the site in being in the highest rated segment of all time [RRO History] with Bill Dundee…Lawler vs Kamala holds their own and doesn’t drop any viewers… Good for the way the quarters increased each time…This was a fairly good show.

0.2 ( 3,241 ) [-8103 viewers]


----Good solid bout with Rocker/DK…Do you remember Torch?? I forgot all about him as they had Fire/Flame/Torch. They were unmasked as Bass/Rhodes/Wright. Don’t remember much about Wright [who I think was Torch; right??]. Rhodes was a damn good talker and a hell of a worker. Rich bled buckets here. Jobber Roberson worked this area [TIWF] earlier this year as Vic McNasty. [pic above]…Original aired matches from 11.08.08 Nashville show – “Lawler 35”. Not a fan of modern day Moondogs, but that bout was all over the place with all four guys working hard. Brian C even juiced...Lawler vs Sid was a slow match taking up TV time. And, the fans turned it off, just like I fast forwarded it. The show stayed the same for 3 quarters, but after the start of the Lawler/Sid match, viewers turned their TV off and went to bed.

Memphis Wrestling Poll Results 12.06 and 12.13.08

Thumbs Up – 58%
Thumbs Down – 42%

+16%

----Both shows had the same exact numbers in the poll. I would have to give both shows a “Thumbs Up” also for what they are airing. If you just go by the contest of the last two shows at least it was a bit entertaining. I enjoyed them and they did put up some new stuff on last week’s show. It is so sad though that we had to settle with this kind of programming and numbers. The highest quarters did not even feature over 12,000 fans watching the show.
