10 Years Ago this weekend in Memphis Wrestling.....
----Another post for this week that I stole from www.wrestlingobserver.com
USWA: Bill and Jamie Dundee defeated the Moondogs to win the USWA tag team titles on September 3rd….. This week’s tv built up the September 13th card as ‘The Night of Dream Matches’, and featured every wrestler declaring what their idea of a ‘dream match’ would be. Bart Sawyer wanted a dream match with Steve Doll. In a battle of the referees, Bill Rush wanted a dream match with heel ref, Frank Morrell. Mike Samples wanted a dream match with Flash Flanagan. Brickhouse Brown wanted a dream match with Koko B Ware, and if Brown won, Ware had to form a tag team with him. Miss Texas’ (Jacqueline) dream match was with Luna Vachon in a ‘back alley street fight’. Jamie Dundee wanted to team with his father in a handicap match against Wolfie D. Brian Christopher’s dream match would be against manager Scott Bowden. Wolfie D’s dream match would be a barbed wire tag team match, teaming with Jesse James Armstrong (B.G. James in TNA) to face the Dundees. Tommy Rich wanted a dream match with Brian Christopher, with fellow heel Tony Falk as referee. The winner of the match would get titles shots against Jerry Lawler for the Unified title and Shawn Michaels for the WWF title. Rich was booked for a lengthy IWA tour in Japan soon, so the result was kind of given away.
Bill Dundee wanted a dream match with USWA booker Randy Hales, and if Dundee won, he got to be booker. They actually used the term ‘booker’ on tv. Think about that one for a minute. Hales came out and said that if he had known that Dundee was going to pick a match against him, he’d never have booked the dream match concept. However, Hales said he had to agree to wrestle Dundee, otherwise the lead heel group would all refuse to wrestle and the show would have to be cancelled. Dundee offered to call off the match if Hales gave up his job to Dundee, but Hales refused and said he’d rather have his neck broken than give his job up to Dundee…… Luna Vachon was now doing a gimmick where she bit people on the neck. Where have I seen that lately?
