----This can only be good news for guys working this area. Gibson is very familiar with the talent here. From wrestlingobserver.com: Robert Gibson will be joining Steve Williams as a part-time trainer for WWE. The general schedule for them is to spend one week per month in either OVW or DSW and teach the students there hands-on. Also, if they do well in their roles, they'll be under consideration for jobs as road agents if spots open up. Mike Bucci (Simon Dean) pushed for the idea of using veterans who worked in several different places to come to development to teach the younger wrestlers.
----Slammer, who I believe is the indy wrestler by the same name, posted some interesting stuff about Memphis wrestling on Trent Van Drisse’s board. A lot of it has been covered on this site, but it did get people talking.
----Hollywood Jimmy’s board which usually filled with dumbasses has some guy in the last few days posting a bunch of stuff about Memphis wrestling. It has been really interesting and I even offered him a job as a columnist. This is also a few pages back [and usually hate no name guys], but some guy has predictions for 2007. Funny stuff.
----The 3rd day of “10 To Vote” things seem to have slowed down a bit in the voting. I would like to thank everyone that participated. I apologize to the people that have two computers in their home and can not vote, but once or two people and only vote once. That was the only way I could do it to keep people from cheating. And, the reason you can not look at the results but once when you vote is that I didn’t want it being close and then someone calling their buddy to vote for them. This is the only way it can be fair.
----Loose Cannon has a real good “Cannon’s Fire” reviewing 2006. He even put over this site as being part of the big news in this area. Wow!! LOL
----I will be having a look at the TLCW Barbwire “Loser Leave Town” tomorrow, but Dustin Starr has posted some thing over at his site about if he stays or if he goes. The bookers have made it fun for this Saturday night. If anyone from the Missouri bootheel is planning to go to attend the show, please drop me a line!! I will be there!!
----I got some XOW results from Saturday night [12.30.06] in New Albany, MS, but was told they were not sure if these were complete or not. So, here goes: Izzy Rotten beat Brett Michaels; Psycho beat Pappy to advance into the finals of the TV Title Tourny; Jay Webster beat Nick Grymes; “Pure Destruction” [Cody & Brody Hawk] vs Justin Rhodes/Bonecrusher ended in No Contest; Buzz Harley beat Colton Anderson; Cassanova Kidd beat Dirty Sanchez & Little Steve Davis in a triple threat and PD/Danny B/Tommy Knox vs Bonecrusher/Rhodes/JR Mauler/Kross ended in No Contest when the dressing room emptied…I was told the SGWA vs XOW feud is going to be good for XOW. They drew about 70 paid with a gate in the $350 range.
