----This is considered the brainchild of Simon Reed of “The Posse” as the new Rebellion Wrestling League opens its doors officially this coming Friday night in Newbern, TN. I made a stop there a couple of weeks back on my way to Ripley, TN and sold a few books. The place was not completed, but a lot of hard work had been put in the building to have a nice arena. Jason Reed and Chris O’Neal have also been instrumental in getting the building and get this new promotion established. PK Ripper was busy the day I was there working with setting up video cameras, lighting and sound. He will return to wrestling this Friday night after his long stint with TIWF ended abruptly a few weeks back.
----I talked with Simon Reed today and he said to expect the following and maybe more on the debut show -- “The Posse” [Simon Reed/Lil Chris], Eric Wayne, Kid Nikels, Derrick King, Stan Lee, Bishop, PK Ripper, Overkill, Weasel, “The Baron” Malkavain, JD Rage, Jason Reed and Chris O’Neal. And as noted on the site the “Book Tour” makes another stop at the debut.
----The backdrop of this promotion running weekly shows is how this is going to effect the other Friday night shows in area particularly LAW. LAW runs on Friday nights also and uses some of the Dyersburg area talent. Will the talent find it much easier to work Newbern, TN [just outside of Dyersburg] whether than go all the way to Rector, AR to work LAW?? Will the RWL have any effect on NBW’s weekly Saturday shows?? As always, only time will tell and that is what keeps us reporting & dirt digging here at RRO.
