Derrick King over "The Golden Boy" Greg Anthony
Austin Lane and Justin "The Juice" Smart over Chris Rocker and Bishop to win LAW Tag Team titles.
Flash Flanagan over "Girlcandy" Christian Jacobs
Rocker told the fans that Slim was at home with a 103 fever and wished him well but that he was here to wrestle. Rocker hit the frogsplash on The Baron which brought out the returning Austin Lane and Justin Smart they distracted Rocker long enough for The Baron to hit The Demons Wings and get the three count. After the match, Lane and Smart were going to do more damage to Rocker but Chris was able to fight both men off. A challenge was issued and Lane/Smart said they wouldn't fight Rocker unless he put the tag titles on the line.
Derrick King came out for this week's "Karaoke with King". Before DK could even get started "The Golden Boy" Greg Anthony came out. tgb said that he wasn't there to interrupt "Karaoke with King" he was here to participate in "Karaoke with King"! So a reluctant DK agreed and the song "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger kicked in. DK and tgb did a duet that the fans actually got behind until tgb nailed DK with a cheap shot that started an impromptu match. DK hit tgb with The X-Factor and Jeff O'Dell jumped up on the apron. The new Head of Security, Thomas Graham came and pulled Jeff off the apron and made him go to the back..tgb yelling for Jeff to come back turns around right into a Superkick..1...2....3!
Rocker came out for what was going to be a handicap tag team title match against Lane and Smart but right before the bell rang.. Bishops music hit. Bishop motioned that he would be Rocker's partner. Rocker and Bishop actually worked well together. Tide soon turned towards the challengers and Rocker, after all ready wrestling one match, took another beating from Austin and The Juice. He finally got the tag to big Bishop and he came in like a house of fire. But then out of no where he Speared Rocker!!! And left the ring, giving Smart the chance to pin Rocker to become the NEW LAW Tag Team Champions.
In the main event, Flash and CJ went toe to toe in fast paced contest. Jeff O'Dell tripped Flash when he was coming off the ropes and then choked him behind the ref's back which brought out Thomas Graham who actually picked Jeff up on his shoulders and carried Jeff to back. Flash hit the springboard leg drop and could've easily got the three count but tgb came but Flash blasted him off the apron. tgb grabbed a chair and was going to hit the ring but Thomas Graham came and took the chair away from tgb but then CJ took it away from Thomas but Flash then drop kicked the chair into CJ's face. Flash made the cover to get the victory.
Side note: Stan Lee dislocated his knee early in his match but continued well after the fact and finished without a second thought...Greg Anthony and Chris O'Neal will be working for All American Pro Wrestling in West Frankfort, IL tonight!!

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 9.13.08
----Jerry Lawler and Corey Maclin open the show. They talk about the Olympics and mention Kurt Angle is going to be on the show.

----Doink/Talia Madison vs Rob Eckos/Alere Little Feather from Northeast Wrestling. Heat on Doink with hot tag to Talia. Finish has Doink spraying silly string on Eckos and Madison hitting a flying press from the top rope for the pin & win. Nothing horrible, nothing special.
----“Wrestling Professor” segment. 6.03.83 is the date this week. “Sheepherders” [John Boyd/Luke Williams] vs Jerry Lawler/Bill Dundee. All heat on Dundee. Not even a hot tag here, but Lawler got mad and jumped in. Finish was Boyd hitting both Lawler/Dundee with something in his wrist pad and pinning Dundee for the win. Sheeps beat up Dundee after the match, then Lawler makes the save with a chair. Video went black during some of the bout.
----Lawler/Maclin talk about Byhalia, MS show. Koko Ware, Corey Maclin and Brian Chistopher scheduled to appear. They also put over www.kinglawler.com.
----Christian Cage vs Kurt Angle from Northeast Wrestling. A real good bout. All the young guys need to take a look at the way this bout was worked just the psychology. They actually had two double knockouts building for the finish. Angle hit the Angle slam after a ref bump. No pin. Cage hit the “Unprettier” with Angle kicking out. They then did a fantastic series of each going for finishers until Angle grabbed the ankle lock for the win.
---Lawler vs Joey Mercury. They did a variation of the “Tennessee spot” with all bodyslams. Mercury hit Lawler with his necklace [chain] to start heat. He used the chain during the heat – was he trained by Don Bass?? Lawler with the comeback pulling down the strap and ends up getting chain from Mercury, but ref stops him. Lawler piledrives Mercury for the win. Crowd was into it, but a typical Lawler bout.
NOTES
----9.20.08 has Memphis Wrestling in Byhalia, MS at the Byhalia Middle School…Northeast bouts the DVD “New Electric City Slam” from 11.03.07. Check out www.northeastwrestling.com...At one point during the Lawler/Mercury bout the crowd was chanting “You got fired” at Mercury….Funny thing is that I have seen that Lawler bout over a 100 times – usually Lawler vs Bass. LOL But, I have never seen Don jump from the top rope or have a tan….Not a great show, but the Cage vs Angle is worth going out of your way to watch...Look for the new poll and full show to be posted on www.rasslinriotonline.com.

A Piece of my Mind Sept 12th 2008 by "The Big Cheese" Sal Corrente
I am aware that Corey Maclin makes very few public statements and the ones that he does make are, generally, not for the internet world. It was leaked out that Memphis Wrestling was going to come back bigger and better. We heard stories of bringing in more name talent. I was waiting anxiously to see what surprises that Corey has in store for us. Well what a surprise it has been. I believe we are seeing Memphis Wrestling at its worst. The whole wrestling professor thing is a complete joke. How old does the guy doing it look? Where is he supposed to be going to get all this information? I know he must be going upstairs to the library and reading it in the Jerry Jarrett Encyclopedia Britannica.
I have heard various comments directed towards one of Jerry Lawler’s friends Grady Watson. He has been used in various instances on Memphis Wrestling. It has been the opinion of many fans that he really had no place participating on the show. I would have thought that Grady would have been perfect for the Wrestling Professor spot. He is of age to have seen a lot of this stuff first hand. It would have been easy to go either way with it. You could have had him get every answer wrong or every answer right. I believe that it would have worked well both ways. It would have been an intelligent move and given Lawler the opportunity to use his friend and actually get value out of it.
The WWE creative team should take a lesson from John McCain. It is clear that John McCain was on the losing end of a two horse race. He could have gone in a traditional direction and more than likely went down fighting gallantly. I am not saying that the McCain/Palin ticket will win, but I am saying they got people’s attention. They have the opportunity people are waiting for them to do intelligent things waiting for a reason to support that ticket into the White House. If the WWE could just get the people’s attention they could perhaps make a move for the next real surge of business. The “who knows what era” will begin when, once again, Vince McMahon is surprised at someone who turns into an overnight superstar. We will all know when it happens the first sign will be the creative team all huddled in a corner scratching their heads.
They have a hard time getting the people’s attention because they are too busy booking for their own entertainment instead of to the people who pay the bills. It’s hard to imagine that any real thought goes into a lot of what is happening in the WWE. A classic example would be the Colin Delany situation. Is TV time so cheap these days that they can put all this time into a kid and just cut him loose? How can a company afford to squander such valuable time by getting zero return on their money? I know it seems easy to sit back and tear this stuff to shreds, but the truth is it would be easier for any one of a number of people to do it backstage. The truth of the matter is this the McMahons want "yes" people around them. They always have and they always will. I know over the years every now and then someone has been in a position to leverage the McMahons. It doesn’t happen often and when it does you can bet it is strictly because the McMahons are lining their pockets off the guys sweat in a big way. If Vince wants to hear how great he is or how brilliant he is he should stand in front of the mirror more. If he wants to start the next big era of success in the WWE he needs to open his eyes and ears.
I watch TNA and I see Curry Man, Shark Boy and Super Eric and when I do I think wow WWE would make a FORTUNE on marketing these guys. When TNA can pull that off that is when it will really become fun for them. The other person that could be huge marketing dollars in WWE is Awesome Kong. She isn’t the same old thing recycled through. She will get people’s attention all that WWE needs to go on its next big run is for them to find the Awesome Kong of the men’s side of the company. Hmmm TNA found her, could they possible find the next big thing on the men’s side too.
I would ask everyone to guess who this is with me in the picture but I don’t think anyone would get it. This picture is of me and the latest entry into the WWE-Manu (Afa Anoai Jr). What a difference twenty two years can make. I wish my friend all the luck in the world now that he has made it to the big time.
This has been a piece of my mind

Area Worker with MRSA!!
----I was contacted by area worker Rob Justice earlier this week. Justice informed me that he had contacted a “staph” infection that lead to him having MRSA. This was started as just a simple scratch or cut on his leg and now it may lead to him having his leg amputated. The doctor has told him it was from wrestling in “nasty wrestling rings” .Rob or me – neither are pointing fingers. I just wanted to inform everyone – promoters and workers – that something like this could happen.
----What is MRSA?? Below is the definition from www.mayoclinic.com
“MRSA infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria — often called "staph." MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It's a strain of staph that's resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal. “
----So in other words it is a bad ass infection that can not be treated by antibiotics. Rob has told me he is taking a lot of pills and hooked up to antibiotics 24/7 to try to fight the infection. If the infection does not go away, then they will have to amputate his leg.
----There have been cases of whole locker rooms contacting this type of infection affecting the whole team. The below was taken from www.canada.com.
“Close physical contact between teammates combined with the sharing of facilities, equipment and personal items increases the spread of infection. An uncovered sneeze or cough can spread germs that are easily picked up during skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces.”
----What can you do as a promoter or a worker??
Workers
-Clean your gear on a regular basis.
-Do not share things like gear, boots and such.
-Talk to the promoter and make sure the wrestling mat has been cleaned.
-If you have a cut – take care of it. At the least carry around Triple Antibiotic Cream.
-Cuts should never been exposed when you are working. Tape them up – you are just asking for dirt or anything to get in the cut.
Promoters
-Clean your mats on a regular basis. Not sure the process of doing this – but I think we use to take the CCW mat to the car wash. This should involve some kind of disinfectant – at the least Lysol.
-Clean your dressing rooms. After the show wash or whip it down with some kind of disinfectant water.
-Make sure that all workers with cuts and scratches have them covered.
----Just please be safe guys. I would to hate to think someone lost their leg because of dirty wrestling mats. If anyone reading this is in the medical profession and would like to chime in on extra precautions, then feel free to drop me a line.

RassleResults: RWA Jonesboro, AR 9.06.08
The show started with Mike Anthony doing a mic spill about his match with Rodney Mack telling the crowd what a Punk Rodney was and that he was going to take the champions belt that night. I wonder if calling Rodney Mack a punk is a good idea ever? Probably not!
Match 1.
Cody Murdock VS Pappy(of the Asylum)
This was a Big Man Challenge and had plenty of big power moves. However, the match ended in a time limit draw before either man could secure the win.
Match 2.
“Natural Born Playaz” [Pimptacular/Southside Brawler] VS J.D. Kerry and Mike Titan.
The action was fast and furious until the end. Kerry made the hot tag to Titan who came in and began cleaning the house with the Playaz. Titan finally threw Southside to the floor leaving Kerry in the ring with Pimp. Kerry was working Pimp over in the corner until Pimp grabbed his legs and secured the pin on Kerry with his feet on the ropes.
Match 3.
Rik Burton VS The Big Indian.
The heat between these two is really boiling over and both men took the fight all over the building. The match ended in a double count out, but that wasn't the end of it. At intermission, Indian came back out with a ceremonial head dress and announced that he was going to give it away to one lucky fan in the crowd. At this point, Classy Meltin Massey came out and distracted the Indian long enough for Burton to jump him from behind and not only rip the head dress to shreds, but also cram it in the Indian's mouth. The Indian will definitely have a response for this next week.
Match 4.
The Fabulous Luke Graham VS Soultrain Jones
Graham took most of the match until the end when Soultrain reversed a suplex into a pin and scored the victory. However, he made the mistake of turning his back on Graham who returned with a chair and left Jones laying in the Middle of the ring causing him to get carried out. Luke then got on the microphone and informed Jones that he had left him laying three weeks in a row and this was on the start of things to come.
Match 5.
“Asylum” [Psycho/Arnez] VS Chris Steel and Zane Richards.
The action was hot and heavy until Classy Meltin Massey tried to interfere on the floor sending Arnez of the Asylum after him. This left Psycho in the ring alone with Chris Steel who he was beginning to dispose of when Zane Richards hit Psycho from behind with a kendo stick. This didn't even phase Psycho who took the stick away from Zane and began repeatedly returning the favor. Unfortunately, the referee turned around at this point and D.Q.ed the Asylum for using the weapon that Zane and Chris had brought into the ring.
6. Rodney Mack RWA Heavyweight Champion VS Mike Anthony
This was for the RWA title and the smaller Anthony proved quite the test for the champion. Anthony was accompanied by the Playaz to the ring who seized every opportunity to interfere. Mack finally overcame the interference to make a big comeback, knocking both Playaz off the canvas in the process. At this point, Anthony charged the champion who gave him a big hip toss. Unfortunately, the hip toss sent Anthony over the ropes forcing the referee to call for the DQ on Mack. Both guys made it plain after the match that it wasn't over between them.
Even with ASU's first home game as Red Wolves the RWA still drew 100. It was a good night and the beginning of some great angles.

----Loved the angle with Indian!! That sounded like an old Memphis angle – Moondogs tearing up the Fabs’ jackets. Good stuff.

Unfortunately, the hip toss sent Anthony over the ropes forcing the referee to call for the DQ on Mack. Both guys made it plain after the match that it wasn't over between them.
Even with ASU's first home game as Red Wolves the RWA still drew 100. It was a good night and the beginning of some great angles.

----Loved the angle with Indian!! That sounded like an old Memphis angle – Moondogs tearing up the Fabs’ jackets. Good stuff.

RassleResults: LAW Rector, AR 9.05.08
Chris Rocker over Deadly Dale
"Girlcandy" Christian Jacobs over Derrick King
Idol Bane over Stan Lee to retain LAW Championship
Slim "The Bulldog" Pickens over Bishop
"The Golden Boy" Greg Anthony over Dell Tucker in a LIGHTS OUT MATCH
When DK came out for "Karaoke with King" he mentioned that he had a HUGE surprise for The Untouchables. Of course DK didn't get through much of his song of choice before Christian Jacobs interrupted him. Another top notch contest between these two. DK hit a huge cross body press from the top rope which prompted Greg Anthony to run to the ring but DK knocked him off quickly and went back to CJ. As DK hit the rope tgb grabbed his foot and allowed CJ to hit The Perfect Plex.
Idol Bane vs Stan Lee was match of the night. Stan Lee knocked Idol to the floor and as the ref reached nine in her count Jeff O'Dell jumped to the apron breaking the count. As the ref tried to attend to O'Dell, "Girlcandy" slid in and gave Stan rib shattering spear. After CJ disappeared from the ref's vision, Idol got back in the ring and gave Stan The Ghost of Andy Kauffman for the 3 count.
To win the Lights Out Match you had to render your opponet unconcious to where he was unable to respond to the offical. This match was a brawl from start to finish seeing the fight spill out to the crowd more than once. Tucker threw tgb into the ticket booth of The LAW Athletic Center to the crowd's delight but when he went to retrieve him, Christian Jacobs was there and threw a handful of powder into Tucker's eyes. This allowed tgb to set up two chairs facing each other on the outside of the ring and then stood atop them and gave him a piledriver onto the seated chairs. Tucker was unable to answer the ref and tgb was declared the winner.
After the match, all The Untouchables were celebrating in the ring when Derrick King's music hit. DK came to the ring accompied by Thomas Graham. DK asked Jeff if he reconized Thomas? DK explained that Thomas was The Chairman of Championship Committee and that Jeff couldn't fire him so he found a loop hole were he could disbanned the committee all together. DK continued that Mr.Graham didn't give up, he's been working for a year to find a way to bring justice back to LAW. DK then showed Jeff a letter from The Arkansas Labor Department claiming that Jeff O'Dell hasn't provided a safe work enviroment for some of his employees and that they are ready and able to shut LAW down! But there is a way to save LAW, DK said. Derrick said The Arkansas Labor Department has agreed to keep LAW open for business if Jeff O'Dell agrees to make Thomas Graham Head of Security. Jeff said "So he'll work for me?" and DK responded with "Glad you asked, No! He'll work for The Arkansas Department of Labor". DK and Thomas left The Untouchables dumbfounded in the ring.

RassleResults: Hub City Wrestling Jackson, TN 9.09.08
First night of the Jackson Fair.
Ty Hamilton beat Cody Melton. This was a heck of a match. These guys can go with the best. Both are Kevin White's students.
Maxx Corbin beat Dr. Doom. Corbin did the best he could do with Doom. Maxx Corbin deserves a lot of credit in this match. Maxx graduated from Kevin’s school also and he has come a long ways. He a very good solid worker who often gets overlooked.
The Gladiator defeated Michael Gilbert. This also was a good match. Again both went to Kevin's school.
Derrick King defeated Chris Williams. This was Williams first match and yes he is Kevin's student as well. This was the longest match of the night and Williams did a very good job considering this was his first match but we both know that Derrick King could wrestle a broomstick.
Main Event. This pitted the team of Kevin White and Bobby Eaton w/ Garry White and Su Yung against Bill Dundee and Ricky Morton w/ Grady Watson. Old School match from start to finish. This match was ruled a no contest after Su Yung and Garry White interfered. Mr. Big Stuff left the hillbilly Grady Watson unconscious after whipping him with his own belt. This set the main event for today [Wed] as Kevin White agreed to put Su Yung's hair on the line.
The overall attendance at the fair was down because of the rain. But still the wrestling show had anywhere from 150 to 300 at different times. It will get better the next 2 nights. I guess the match with Hamilton and Melton was the best match of the night.

"What Memphis Watches"
First things first, let me apologize for not having a column last week. My TV job took me to Ocean Springs, MS. to cover Hurricane Gustav’s damage on South Mississippi. While the hurricane didn’t do a whole lot of damage, it rained its ass off and flooding was an issue for some folks down there. It was very cool shooting video when the outer bands of the storm were making landfall. The winds were probably 30-35 mph. and made keeping the camera steady a challenge.
If you click here: http://www.wreg.com/Global/Link.asp?L=318756 and go to page 5 on the video player and watch the video labeled “Keli Rabon on Gulf Coast” you can see the video I shot that Monday morning as the storm came thru.
Now, if you include the Memphis/Ole Miss football game I worked 2 Saturdays ago in addition to the 4 days I was in Ocean Springs, I ended up working 5 days of 12-15 hour days straight. Makes for a long week and honestly “What Memphis Watches” was the last thing on my mind. HaHaHa!!!
On to wrestling, this week’s shows felt the effect of the NFL football season kicking off as TNA Impact and WWE RAW’s ratings were down. Impact had been hovering around the 2.0 mark for a few weeks now but dropped 2/10th’s of a point this past Thursday. What stuck out to me was the 2nd hour of Impact when it started at 2.2 but lost half its viewers but the final quarter hour. Ouch!!!
RAW’s numbers fall every year at this time. When Monday Night Football starts up those casual viewers who were probably watching RAW because football was out of season have gone back to watching football and in turn RAW’s ratings dips a lil’ bit. Like Impact, RAW’s numbers during the 2nd hour dropped considerably which ironically happened to be the same hour that MNF had its strongest hour doing a 12 rating average. One thing I did notice was that RAW’s rating was slightly up from 2 weeks ago when it was up against the Tennessee/UCLA game. That game pulled a 13 rating. With all those factors considered, RAW has more than held its own on Monday nights.
What more can be said about Memphis Wrestling? It’s just not a show that wrestling fans want to see right now. I was SHOCKED when I saw the numbers from the show 2 weeks ago. You know its bad when you don’t even register on the meter. I will give them credit, they bounced back this week and registered numbers in all 4 quarter-hours. I’ll give them even more credit in the fact that the viewership increased with each quarter hour. While the numbers they did attract are not very good, they have to be encouraged that they kept their viewers this week.
Note: The ratings for RAW is listed as 2 separate hours. I will round off, to the highest number, the averages of both hours for the final rating.

"Flashback" Sept 1984 Part 2 by Mark James
This Week’s Flashsback Highlights Sept 1984 Part 2
This week we cover the last half of Sept 1984.

This week we cover the last half of Sept 1984.
Sept 17, 1984
The main event featured the dominating team of “Ravishing” Ric Rude and King Kong Bundy facing Jerry Lawler and recently turned fan favorite, “Macho Man” Randy Savage. The match had a No DQ stipulation attached.
When the dust cleared, Rude and Bundy, with the help of their manager, Jimmy Hart were victorious in front
Another big match on the card had the Southern Tag Team Champions, The Nightmares going up against the former champs, the Rock n Roll Express. In recent weeks, Morton and Gibson had been having problems getting a win over the masked champions. The match stipulated the Nightmares masks were up against the Express leaving town. The fans were stunned when the Nightmares emerged victorious and sent Ricky and Robert packing.
The fans no doubt left the arena scratching their heads a little. The heels won both big matches this evening, despite the great action.
Sept 23, 1984
This was a Sunday night card at the Cook Convention Center, (the Mid-South Fair was going on at the fairgrounds.) As would usually happen with a Sunday card, attendance was down (with only 1,500 showing up.)
In the International Title match, Dutch Mantell would only put up the title against Eddie Gilbert, if Gilbert would put his hair on the line. Gilbert agreed, won the match and the title, (as well as keeping his hair!)

PROJECTS AND LOOKING FOR
PROJECTS
----Just to let everyone know that the Dusty Wolfe autobiography is in the final stages. It has been a long process and I would like to thank Dusty and Brian Thompson for their patience and hard work. This is has been a joint effort from all three of us and we have not cussed each other yet. LOL “Journal of A Journeyman” by Dusty Wolfe with Brian Thompson & Brian Tramel will be hopefully available for advance orders in the next few weeks. Here is an excerpt from the first page..
“----In describing this book to outsiders of the business, I have described Dusty as “he has been everywhere, but never really made it BIG.” I am not sure after reading this book if that is a correct description of him. Dusty did something that a lot of us have only dream about – he has lived his life as a professional wrestler. That has always been his job title. I don’t think Dusty would ever have considered himself not making it BIG and that point was brought up to me by my “partner in crime” Brian Thompson. As you will read, Dusty was in every sense of the word a WARRIOR.”
----I am working on a deal right now with a new company on the ground floor that will provide sponsorship for this site. The potential of the company will be good for the site, because it is not just wrestling related. It could really help this site with exposure. In the next coming weeks, I will announce the deal and you will start seeing ads on the site for merchandise.
----Due to computer failure of my main computer, updates have not been made of the home page and such. Hopefully I will be up and running with that in a few weeks also. I am also working on a few DVD projects that have been on hold until the new computer is installed. “Rumble on the River” will be an All Pro DVD release available at the All Pro arenas. “Human Highlight Reel” Austin Lane Vol 2 will also be released soon after that – available wherever Lane is appearing. I will also be working on project with Ken Wayne with the “Graduation Match” – Eric Wayne vs Kid Nikels sometime soon.
----I also have an All Pro Wrestling book with Kenny Valiant planned before the end of the year, which will be a great Christmas present. “Yearbook 2008” will be released in February, 2009 along with a new revised version of “Yearbook 2007”, which will also include the online “Yearbook 2006”. I plan to have discounted deals so everyone can get all three years at a X amount and such. In the summer of 2009, I plan to write a non-wrestling book with Brian Thompson [should I have told him this by now??..LOL] that will be available for Christmas, 2009. February, 2010 will see the release of “Yearbook 2009” along with another summer project that hopefully will be finished by Christmas, 2010. If you are reading this and thinking either “that BT is so full of shit” or “BT sure has some plans!!”, then you are probably a bit right on both. LOL
LOOKING FOR
----I am still looking for regular reporters for TLCW in Ripley, TN on Saturday nights and MCW in Osceola, AR on Friday nights.

Memphis Legend Receives Ring!!
Jimmy Valiant had a pleasant surprise for him. There was a Fed Ex package waiting for him. Inside the package was a stunning WWE Hall of Fame ring and a personal signed letter from Vince McMahon congratulating Jimmy Valiant on behalf of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc for his lifetime achievements in the sport of professional wrestling.
Months ago, Jimmy's good friend Howard Finkel called and asked Jimmy what size ring he had. Jimmy assumed Howard was talking about his wrestling ring at BWC so he explained to him about his wrestling ring size. Howard Finkel then said, "No, Jimmy, what size ring do you wear on your finger?" Howard went on to say that WWE was making all of their Hall of Famers, Hall of Fame rings.
Below are pictures of Jimmy's Hall of Fame ring from when he was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame on November 16, 1996.

Jerkin The Curtain NWAME & SAW recaps + Yak it up Monday Sept. 8th @ 10 PM CST.
Tune in this Monday night September 8th at 10 central time as Tommy Stewart and I will recap the September 6th episodes of NWA Main Event & SAW TV. We'll give our unbiased opinions of both shows, and declare a winner for the week. Also, if anyone wants to call in to discuss any subject, wrestling or non-wrestling related, please feel free to do so. The number is 347-945-5503. NWA Main Event's Shane Smalls and Jason James called in during last weeks show. If you missed last weeks show, the archive is available of course, but here's the results.
Tommy Stewart:
NWA Main Event: No rating
SAW: Thumbs up
NWA Main Event aired a highlight/magazine type show of already shown footage this past week, so SAW was given the win by forfeit since they aired a first run show. It should be noted though, that had Tommy been able to rate NWAME, he would have given it a thumbs up.
TVD:

NWA Main Event: No rating
SAW: Thumbs up
NWA Main Event aired a highlight/magazine type show of already shown footage this past week, so SAW was given the win by forfeit since they aired a first run show. It should be noted though, that had Tommy been able to rate NWAME, he would have given it a thumbs up.
