----USWA: Randy Hales quit his role as General Manager of the promotion for real, and decided to move back to Jonesboro, Arkansas. He still intended to run the occasional USWA spot show in Arkansas, but was done as the road manager for the company. It was uncertain who would take over his role…… Brian James (BG James) had also quit the promotion in readiness for his WWF return as Jesse James….. Scott Bowden was feuding with local Memphis sportscaster, John Rainey, leading to a ‘boxer vs wrestler’ match between the two on the October 3rd show…… Mark Henry proved to be something as a drawing card, as Jerry Lawler vs Henry drew 1,200 fans in Union City, Tennessee on September 26th, more than double what the recent Memphis flea market shows had been drawing. Henry won the match via disqualification.
----Regarding Jerry Lawler’s comments on WCW last week on Memphis TV, where Lawler urged Memphis wrestling fans not to buy Nitro tickets or even attend the show when Nitro came to Memphis in October, Eric Bischoff hit back by saying in a Prodigy interview, “I think Jerry Lawler exposed himself quite a bit with that little stunt. Jerry Lawler in my opinion is a small time, going nowhere individual who is probably at the end of any kind of professional career he had. Perhaps his bitterness is showing through. Then again, Jerry Lawler owns half of a promotion that is lucky to draw 150 fans to an event at a flea market, so I can understand why he’d be bitter….”
