Tidbits: Seth's baby, Fire & Flame, Riverboat, Sypro, SGWA results and TLCW results

----Congrats to Seth Knight and his wife on the birth of their daughter. She was 5 lb 12 oz named Amberlyn Renee. She was born yesterday - Monday Oct 16th. Both the mom and baby are happy and healthy

----I have been told that Fire and Flame [Billy Ray Hickerson/Jack Dalton], a VCW tag team, have been told to show up to Memphis TV on Saturday. Not sure if they will be working or if Jerry Lawler wants to take a look at them. They are doing the old Don Bass gimmick and they throw fire.

----Wrestling on the Memphis Riverboat debuts this weekend. I was sent the following card –Loose Cannon vs Bubba Studly; “Top Notch” [Teco Murdoch/Tommy Gunn] vs “Asylum” [Psycho/James Arnez]; “Iceman” Chris Austin vs Chris Frazier; Big Indian Coyote/Neil Taylor vs “Family of Pain” [Sarge O’Riley/Mickey Ray] and Jamie Jay vs “Juicy” Johnny Morton. I don’t usually agree with 10% of what Loose Cannon writes [or understand any of it] on Hollywood Jimmy’s page, but he hit the nail on the head in this week’s “Cannon's Fire”. The wrestling show Saturday night is getting tons of talk much like it was a big Southaven show.

----Ok, I screwed up in the DCWF results. “East Coast Bad Boys” are now Sypro/Serpant, not Spyro [who know works under the hood as 187]. I was told that Sypro is their brother that they trained to work. I never knew they had another brother, but I am not sure if he is their legit brother. I request pics!! LOL

----I got a few results from SGWA in Booneville on Saturday night [10.14.06]. “Prime Time” Nick Grymes beat Homeless Joe; NWA Mississippi Tag Team Title Match: Faroh of Phunk/Jesse Dalton beat “CIA” [Tysin Starr/Cassanova Kidd)]Cassanova Kidd]; Chris Austin beat Masked Superstar #1 [Grymes, not the original] and brawled with Masked Superstar #2 [who was Johnny Morton]; Johnny Thunder beat Izzy Rotten and Kross/Soultaker beat Justin Rhodes/Bonecrusher in a hardcore match. They had a worker calling himself Psycho from NWA Battlezone that worked the show. Not the Psycho that works other Mississippi shows – have some respect guys – call him Crazyo or something. Also, I wished they could come up with better names, instead of stealing old masked wrestler names – Masked Superstar?? WTF??

----TLCW from Ripley, TN had the main event of “Picture Perfect” [Jon Michael/Christian Jacobs]/Stan Lee vs “Black Out Squad” [Bishop/Oz/Big Steve] was no contest as they brawled all over the place. DK came back helping the babys. Next will have DK vs the Commish/Rashard and PP V1 vs “Black Out Squad”. Not sure of any of the other results, but was told that the Starr vs O’Neal bout was good, but I did not get a result. Crowd was in the 60 range with a gate close to $300.
