-----I am being told that Jon Michael’s doctor told him that it could be all his nerves from his neck to his shoulder. The doctor was worried a little because he has a lost a lot of feeling in his arm very quickly. The doctor also said it might be a bad disc in the neck. I will try to keep everyone updated. BTW, he looked good on TV with no show of the injury. That is the way most workers are though – get to the ring and they forget the pain.
----I got a few TLCW results from Ripley, TN last night. Chris O’Neal got beat up by Big Steve after his match with Rockin Randy. Big Steve splashed him from the top rope!!!...”The Posse” [Simon Reed/’Lil Chris] beat Tucker/Foxy Hayes- Hayes kissed Tucker on mistake; Christian Jacobs returned making the save for “Hot Topic” [Derrick King/Stan Lee] when they were being beat up by “Blackout Squad” [Oz/Bishop]…Not sure the finish of the Dustin Starr vs Flash Flanagan bout, but they had a lumberjack strap match with fans having the belts – Crowd was hot and Flanagan took a beating!!!
----I get this question almost in every other e-mail – Who is Grady Watson?? Does he own some of the promotion?? Best of my knowledge, Watson does not own any of the promotion. Watson has been a long time friend of Jerry Lawler. He would come to the tapings every week. They ran a big angle with him out of the TV crowd with Lawler as heel. Lawler slapped him and then they had a show in his hometown of Walnut, MS drawing the whole town and then some – over 500 people there. Watson brought in Jethro and a hillbilly girl as his kin and they feuded with Lawler/Renee/Barbara. The feud was funny as hell at first, but I have really tired of Watson.
----Memphis Wrestling TV tapings second show results [air date: 10.07.06] Battle Royal – “Too Cool 2” [Grind/Flex] win eliminating Brickhouse Brown/Kevin White in the end; “Cowboys” [Murdoch/Nasty] win a squash match and Lawler beat Derrick King with Nate The Rat.
----I mentioned riverboat wrestling in the Corey Maclin article. Here is what I know about it as of now. The promotion is called PCW – Pro Championship Wrestling. The show will be on the Memphis Riverboat [not sure if there is just one of those, but that is what I am being told] on 10.21.06 using Loose Cannon, Jamie Jay, Big Indian Quixote, Johnny Morton, Chris Austin, Chris Frazier and they will be using some of Kenny Valiant’s crew. Coyote Ugly of Memphis is helping with advertising and they will be doing radio plugs all over Memphis. I was told some of the Memphis Wrestling crew was upset about not getting the show and that Nate the Rat is planning to be at the first show to start trouble.
----Dixie [DCWF owner] came to the NBW show last night to check out the competition and told one of the security guards that they had about 30 people at the pond. This might have been Dixie working them, but if he is actually telling the competition what they are drawing..that is just crazy!!!
