-1st Match: “Naughty by Nature”  “Georgia Boys” [Gaylon Ray/Shannon Lee] beat [Pokerface/Rude].

NOTES

----146 in the building, which was a 29% decrease in the crowd the week before.  The return of EWE with a free and the end of the month had to have some effect on them.  The true test is the next four weeks when each go head to head with paid crowds…Looks like NxN will be at EWE…Andrews is being booked perfectly as a babyface – taking a beating over and over.  It will just get him over more…Jason Reed was suppose to be Cruz’ partner, but they said Reed was “double-booked” – not sure what is going on there.  It probably got a good pop, but I would have saved Sarge from the crowd…Driveby is in a new SOB – he is called Dirty SOB…Not sure the shoot story behind the name change, but the angle has Billy Rush [commish] changing it to Full Tennessee Wrestling because it is the fans of Tennesse’s show, not Mad Money Mike…Next week has the fans strap match, Dixie defends against Running Wolf and the finals of the tag tournament…Rush also announced that Robert “The Main Factor” Devine had signed to come in and I look for them to give him a big babyface push.
