10 Years Ago in Memphis Wrestling........

USWA: The November 4th Memphis house show, headlined by Brian Christopher vs Wolfie D, saw attendance up to 480 paid and a $2300 gate….. On the November 9th TV show, the Bruise Brothers, Ron & Don Harris won the USWA Tag Team titles, defeating feuding tag team champions, Christopher & D, when D refused to tag in and Christopher was pinned….. Also on the show, Randy Hales and Bert Prentice started a feud, with Hales calling Prentice ‘fat’, and Prentice saying that when his ‘210 pounds’ landed on Hales, he’d squash him. Jerry Lawler, who was holding the mic as the interviewer, started laughing at the idea that Prentice only weighed 210 pounds….. WMC-TV had banned the use of blood on the TV show at this point.
