TWO BIG STORIES OUT OF TLCW THIS WEEKEND!!

----The first story being that Stan Lee, who was part of the TLCW booking team that won RRO Booker of The Year 2006, has officially quit TLCW. They ran a big injury angle a few weeks back to let Stan have some time off. But, after second thought it seems that Lee will be gone from TLCW for more than two months. It seems he is unhappy with the direction that the company is going and feels he needs to get out and do some more shows in the area. Flash Flanagan left earlier this year to wrestle in Puerto Rico leaving only Derrick King as the booker.

----The second story has the arrest of two of the TLCW roster during the show on Friday night in Ripley, TN. Allegedly both were caught behind the building smoking marijuana. The two guys were talked to by the police, but no offical charges were filed. This was apparently just the two of them sharing one joint, so it will be considered a misdemeanor in the state of Tennessee and would have been around a $250 fine, if this was their first offense. I do not look at smoking weed much worse than drinking a few beers, BUT don’t forget that weed is illegal. It also carries tougher penalties and might hurt the business. Everyone in the dressing room had been warned more than once to not smoke weed on the property.
