----Saturday is usually a slow day on the web site due to the fact that everyone that reads it is usually wrestling or going to a show. Today hasn’t been slow here at the RRO offices with rumors being called in. Here is a list of stuff that we are working on for front of next week…
----Memphis Wrestling is in negotiations with another TV station and it is almost final. I have been told the channel and even the new booker of the promotion, but until I can confirm more, I am not going to report it.
----NBW is expected to have a “hot” show tonight. I am being told three big surprises, but not what they are going to be. Maybe it is due to the fact that things get revealed indirectly on this site??? I should have a report posted sometime later tonight or tomorrow. Also everyone wants to see if the Masters appearance pays off at the gate??
----No word on the mystery opponent for the TLCW “Mayhem” event tonight. I was thinking the promotion might reveal it for the internet crowd, but it seems I will have to wait just like the rest of you guys. I like it better that way anyhow. Big speculation from insiders on whether this crew can draw a bigger crowd for a bigger show with just local guys?? Higher ticket prices and high gas prices might hurt them for this Memorial Day weekend.
----Eyes are also on the debut of WWCW in Carbondale, IL with a huge lineup. I got news yesterday that they had 300 advance tickets sold. I have also heard the advertising budget for this group could probably have paid the payoffs for both TLCW/NBW this weekend. Will it be another promotion that promotes a few shows and then we never see them again?? Or will these guys pop some huge crowds?? Here’s hoping the latter.
----Summer is usually a slow time in this area for wrestling and only the big shows draw big numbers. The group that seem to be totally unaffected by this last year was NBW, who continue with about the same number of crowds. I have had many people point out the fact that gas prices are going to make a major dent in the business this summer also. I have heard of guys not taking dates far from home just because of this. So, it might not only hurt the crowds, but hurt some talent with opportunities, because they will not drive long distances and you can not blame them.
----From Rich @ www.wrestlingnewscenter.com, on a Show for the Weekend that we totally forgot about "Hollywood Jimmy just informed me there's Wrestling and Rodeo Show tonight in Coffeeville Ms. at the Multi-Purpose Arena. The matches will include Jerry "The King" Lawler, Kevin White, Hollywood Jimmy, Brody Hawk, Cameron Valentine, Brian Christopher and many more. So if your close to Coffeeville Ms be sure to enjoy a night of Wrestling and Rodeo, starting time will be at 7:00 Tonight."
