----RassleChronicle covers the results of RAW/Nitro 10 years ago. This week is posted.I have also added a Herb Kunze Wrestling Tidbits column that was published at this time.
USWA: Contrasting fortunes when it came to house show attendance. The November 21st house show drew USWA’s all-time lowest ever crowd, of just 150 fans. The November 28th Thanksgiving show was an improvement, drawing 600 fans, for Jerry Lawler’s first match back as a babyface, teaming with Brian Christopher, and losing to PG-13, after Akeem Muhammad had interfered and hit Lawler with a chain…. Focus of the November 30th tv show was on the Memphis version of the Nation of Domination gimmick, which was kind of a spin off from the WWF version. The only connection between the two versions was that PG-13 were associated with both groups. The Memphis NOD was comprised of Akeem Muhammad (formerly known as ‘Big Black Dog’), Kareem Olajuwon (Reggie B. Fine under a new name) and Randy X (Randy Hales, doing an absurd Malcolm X gimmick). They claimed a major ‘superstar’ would join them next week, which Meltzer speculated might be Bill ‘Superstar’ Dundee………. With house show attendance so up and down (mostly down), USWA’s latest idea was to move their weekly shows to Wednesdays, which would allow Lawler to be booked once again. Business was very poor, and most wrestlers were only earning the minimum $40 per show (usually just one show a week), and had other jobs to carry them.
