"Coach's Corner" by Brian Tramel
----I talked to Jerry Lawler again about Sal Corrente after the trial at the ASWF Legends show. The main reason I did not post anything up on the site was that it was pretty much word for word what Sal had already said. It was from Lawler’s point of view, but nothing was different in the story. Later on in the night I got to listen to Lawler talking about the talent in this area. He was talking about the old days and how there was so many territories and some much talent. He then ask about the talent in that dressing room that night - who was worthy and who could make money?? Besides the legends that night there were a few in the dressing room that if given the opportunity could at the least make the Memphis Wrestling show a bit more entertaining – Psycho, “Family of Pain”, Scott Fury, San Francisco Treat and Austin Lane. Draw money?? All these guys have been part of the drawing powers of various promotions when put in the right situation. The problem is that Memphis Wrestling has just become a comedy show of bad wrestling. Guys that might bring something different to the table have been never asked or just asked to stay home.
----The steroid story continues grow legs and with more and more crack down from the DEA, we will see more people linked to the various places. Why is Human Growth Hormone on everyone list?? Why has it such a popular drug along with steroids and pain killers?? Here is what HGH can do for you –
•Shed Bodyfat
•Increase Muscle Tone
•Boost your Energy, Strength, and Endurance
•Reduce Wrinkles and Create Tighter, Smoother Skin
•Help you Sleep Better
•Improve Sex Drive and Performance
•Improve Immune and Heart Function, Bone Density, Healing Time and Cholesterol
•Improve Brain Function, Memory and Mental Focus
----Ok, where the hell can I get some of this stuff?? Where does the line start?? I saw Dr. Alan Mintz on “60 Minutes” talking excitedly about this drug and he took it also. He believes in taking HGH and other hormones, such as testosterone to help build muscle mass and reduce fat. This dude is 67 years old and looks 50!! Why the hell wouldn’t you want to take it?? That is why it is the main drug on everyone’s list – helps boost everything you need to keep going on the road.
----My thoughts and opinions of this Sue Young storyline continue to be the same. I think it is a disgrace and bigoted. I have been told by more than one person with Memphis Wrestling that, “it is just wrestling and everyone is just having fun.” I ask myself while talking about this to various people if me watching “Family Guy” that features a ton of off color jokes is just as bad as watch this angle?? Do I NOT get it?? It is suppose to be funny?? The world is totally twisted and I think it goes to another degree when you talk wrestling, but I still think it is racism. Corey Maclin comes off as a total idiot saying stuff like, “Knock the Sushi” out of her and such. I promise you if I was doing commentary on wrestling and I was saying stuff like, “Corey Maclin sure likes that fried chicken.” Or “Jerry Lawler is going to beat the watermelon out of Maclin”, I would be ban from the TV station. It makes Maclin look really good trying to put over Church singings and in the next breath talking about the Asian community. This angle could be turned around real good, if they just had Sue Young come out eating fried chicken and telling Maclin that she was tired of being made fun of by some “nigga” off the street. Or maybe she could bring two guys from the Asian mob to beat up everyone that made fun of her. Nah, that would never happen – she would still be a heel and her guys would do jobs for Brian Christopher.
----Something I have forgotten to comment on his the toxicology report on Bryan Adams. Damn!! His death was ruled an accidental overdose, caused by the combined effects if the following four medications.
-Buprenorphine (an analgesic)
-Carisorpdol (The Muscle Relaxant "Somas"),
-Chlordiazepoxide
-Alprazolam (an anti-anxiety medication)
----Guess what?? #1 – He had no steroids in his system,. #2: My God!! No shit he OD’ed!! Look at all the stuff that was in his system. He was a walking time bomb and unfortunately as I have said before – it is not the steroids killing them – it is the combo of all the other drugs they are taking!!
