10 Years Ago In Memphis Wrestling..

USWA: The Jerry Lawler-Brian Christopher soap opera continued on this week’s tv show on June 28th. Lawler said in an interview on the show that pro-wrestling was better when there was a little mystique to it, and refused to answer the question as to whether or not Christopher was his son. Christopher kept wanting to answer the question, but Lawler kept stopping him….. Several of the recently fired guys were back, in particular, Steven Dunn, Mabel (Viscera) and Reggie B. Fine. Lawler cut a promo on the tv show challenging any ECW wrestlers to come to the next Memphis show on July 13th, and Paul Diamond & Steven Dunn also challenged any ECW tag team to face them….. There was a lot of talk that this group would soon wind up as a WWF satellite promotion, as Dr Tom Pritchard was moving to Memphis to head the WWF training program…… Christine Jarrett, Jerry’s mother and Jeff’s grandmother, was fired from her job of working the box office in Louisville. No reasons were given for her firing…… P.J. Walker (Justin Credible) was in this promotion, doing a Konnan-style hoodie gimmick…… Glen Jacobs was no longer wrestling as the Fake Diesel, and was back in his old gimmick as the masked ‘Doomsday’, wearing a Lord Humongous mask. Jacobs and Mabel were feuding with each other.
