----The show had one of its best quarters scoring 1.7, but a good look at what happened. You have a good increase of 6482 viewers, the BAM – you lose over 16,000 viewers for Masters vs Lawler. What does this tell you?? What the ratings have proved even when they were scoring better numbers – Lawler means nothing to Memphis Wrestling ratings!! Could he ever mean anything to Memphis Wrestling again?? I think only if they had real good numbers in the 4.0 or 5.0 range and he was gone for a year. Then when he did show up – it might mean something.

RassleResults: NEW West Memphis, AR 12.05.08
Another solid show all around. Best crowd so far, I counted 70 total in the crowd. New lighting and rigging was in place, and it looked great. Ring lights were a great improvement, and the colored lighting above the crowd had a strong professional appearance. Instead of the desk, Brian and John are behind more of an elevated podium now, with monitors in place. The concession area is gone, giving a more clean tv look for the entrances. Downtown Bruno was the referee for all three matches. Tonight was the official pilot for CSS.
Greg Anthony over Greg King
Solid match. Missed leapfrog spot led to a couple of awkward transitions, but they recovered nicely. Finish came when King whipped Anthony to the corner, Anthony went up, King caught him in a fireman's carry, Anthony reversed to a sunset flip for the pin.
Derrick King over Matt Justyce
Matt's pretape was his best by far, and through the match I thought his presence was much better than I had seen in the past. Justyce got a busted lip a couple minutes in. Justyce went for a sunset flip, but DK sat down before Matt went fully over, and got the pin.
Eric Wayne/Kid Nikels over Dustin Starr/Byron Wilcott
The crowd was HOT for this one. Wilcott's pretape put over his WWE developmental deal. He's a huge guy, impressive. Wilcott is the snobby British heel, and Starr is Starr. They had the crowd all over them. With the most overt heel work I've seen in NEW, and with the "hometown boys" in place, it was a nice recipe. ric took a hell of a beating in this one, coming out with a bloody nose. Kid/Wilcott were in at the end, after Dustin tried to break a pin for the 2nd time, Eric charged him. Eric/Dustin were outside the ring, Wilcott went for a belly-to-back, Kid rolled in mid-air to reverse into a pin. Great crowd reaction for the finish. I'd like to see Kid vs. Wilcott one-on-one.

The 12 inductees will be announced in Yearbook 2008 with a special section by Mark James.
----Jimmy Blaylock has got a lot of flack for the Kamala DVD not being released, but I would like to tell everyone that at least he will have a cover for it in a few days. LOL I will be working on it in the next few days. We will have a full review of the DVD when it is released!!
----Sal Corrente is on the road today for the big show tomorrow night. There will not be a new “A Piece of My Mind” until next week.
----I have been working on Yearbook 2008. I have tried to listen to the critics on this one and we will be adding as much original material as possible. But, remember – it is a “year in review” project, so it will have a lot of material you have already read. That is why it is a “review”..LOL Each winner this year will have a section of “Five Fun Facts” about them. It might be something as simple as belts they have held or something silly like their favorite soft drink.
----Here are a few things I need help on from everyone. If you want a specific picture of yourself in the Yearbook, then please send me one. If you object to me taking any photos from your Myspace.com account or such, then please send me a note. You can also help me by participating in something a little cheesy, but I am going to try to post at least 100 of these in Yearbook 2008. If you are a local worker, send me 5 words that describe yourself. Just five simple words!! It is just going to be a fun part of Yearbook 2008!! And finally, if you are a promoter and have a list of your title changes as in dates and such. Pass them along – it will make sure that I get everything correct.
----Many of you have asked about this --- starting this Wednesday, I will start going over all the categories of the third annual RRO AWARDS RACE. Nominees will be e-mailed and we will also accept them on the Kayfabe Message Board. So get registered!!

Steve Bradley Found Dead!!
----This has been all over the net today, [Thompson, who worked with Bradley, even posted something here earlier today] but I did want to post it because Bradley was a major part of Memphis history during the developmental days. I remember seeing him vs Vic Grimmes in Jonesboro, AR [main event was Randy Hales vs Brandon Baxter - I think this was when my heat started with Hales. LOL]. My whole group of friends were big time Bradley marks and his match that night was real good. I believe area worker Christian Jacobs was even in the crowd that night; right??
Steve Bradley, who worked a number of dark matches for WWE in the late 1990s and early 2000s was found dead this morning in his car in a parking lot across the street from where he once operated a professional wrestling school in Manchester, New Hampshire. The former WWE developmental wrestler was 32 years old.
Bradley started wrestling in 1991 when he was 15 or 16 years old around the east coast. In late 1998, he signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to their developmental camp at Power Pro Wrestling in Memphis, Tennessee. Kurt Angle was signed at the same time and the two feuded over the Power Pro Wrestling Championship, which was voted "Underrated Feud of the Year" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Bradley was actually the first wrestler to defeat Kurt Angle via pinfall.
In 1999, Bradley won the third annual ECWA Super 8 tournament, defeating current TNA wrestler Christopher "Curry Man" Daniels.
During his time under contract to WWE, Bradley worked for the Heartland Wrestling Association, Ohio Valley Wrestling and other promotions affiliated with WWE at the time, including IWA Puerto Rico and Memphis Championship Wrestling. During his time in MCW, Bradley won their heavyweight title, defeating the wrestler now known as R-Truth. Bradley worked a number of dark matches prior to WWE television tapings as well as house shows, but never made the main roster. His work was said to be similar to that of Rob Van Dam, and once he joined WWE in the summer of 2001, Bradley got lost in the shuffle. Bradley was ultimately released by WWE in the summer of 2002 during a talent purge.
Following his release from WWE, Bradley returned to the New England area and opened a wrestling school, Top Rope Wrestling Academy, which was shut down within the past six months.
Bradley dealt with personal issues over the years and was one of the former talents who took up WWE's offer of getting help within the past year.
According to Manchester police, they confirmed the death of someone with the same real last name as him -- Bisson -- and in the same age bracket Bradley would have been. However, they would not release any more information because it had not been confirmed his family had been notified.

Steve Bradley found dead
It has been reported at www.pwinsider.com that former World Wrestling Federation developmental talent Steve Bradley was found dead earlier today in Manchester, NH.
He was 32-years-old.
I'm sure as more details are made available, Brian Tramel will have additional reports on this situation.
I personally had the opportunity to work closely with Steve during the final six months of Memphis Championship Wrestling's run as a developmental territory in 2001.
Steve was one of the company's featured attractions, as one of the primary holders of the Southern Heavyweight Title at the conclusion of MCW's deal with WWE. He was managed by today WWE Diva Victoria.
On behalf of everyone at RasslinRiotOnline, we send our deepest sympathy to Bradley's family and friends at this trying time.

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.29.08
----We did not get the show to post this week, but here is the review from over at Jimmy's site.
Corey Maclin welcomed everyone to the show. Corey is going it alone, this week, in the studio. No Lawler. Corey said they've got a lot of action in store for us, including some recent action that took place in Memphis Wrestling. Corey hoped everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving and wished everyone a happy belated Thanksgiving.
They go to some action featuring a music video package, highlighting some of Jerry "The King" Lawler's classic moments to the tune of Green Day's hit song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
Immediately, following the Lawler video, they switched to video of Memphis Wrestling that originally aired on May 21st, 2005. This segment started off with "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware telling both members of Too Cool 2 that he guaranteed that he could beat both their butts anytime he got ready. This started a match between Koko along with his partner, The Soul Taker, going at it with Too Cool 2.
Too Cool 2(Tim Grind/Flex) got the win over Koko and Soul Taker when Koko jumped in and attacked Too Cool 2, shocking them with his hot stick.
Back in the studio, Corey said there is nothing like experiencing Memphis Wrestling live when it comes to an area near you.
To contact "The King" visit KingLawler.com, where you can find all types of merchandise like new t-shirts, old pictures, and videos. You can also check out some of "The King's" artwork.
To advertise with Memphis Wrestling or contact them about personal appearances, live events, and fund raisers, call 901-794-7771
They take a look back at WWE Superstar, The Boogeyman, in action from The River Palace Arena at the Sam's Town Casino in Tunica, Mississippi. The Boogeyman teamed with Flash Flanagan in a contest against Too Cool 2. Flash was on his own at the beginning of the match until The Boogeyman made his grand entrance with worms in mouth. This evened up the sides, with The Boogeyman cleaning house....for about two minutes until he left ringside and went to the back only to return with even more worms. These worms even found a new home in the faces of Flex and Referee Bill Rush. At this time, Corey added, "Oh my goodness! I tell ya, you don't want this guy to give you CPR." They called for the bell on this one. Boogeyman proceeded to dance around the ring, chanting Boogeyman. This led to the crowd joining in on the chant. How did The Boogeyman thank the fans for cheering for him? He rolled outside the ring, spat a worm into the crowd, and ran to the back. Classy.
Corey Maclin said a few words about Kid Kash. They take a look at the K.I.D. in action back from May 15th, 2004 for their one year anniversary show on UPN. Kid Kash, who was managed by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart threatened to put Corey Maclin's face in the special cake they had at the announce table if he didn't hold that microphone up.
Kid Kash defeated Johnny Dotson in a nice fast pace match after connecting with a double underhook piledriver.
Back in the studio, Corey said that The Wrestling Professor was in the other studio. Corey mentioned that they are shooting the show at the Memphis Library on Popular Avenue. Corey gave The Professor January 16th, 1984 as this week's date. They cut to The Wrestling Professor, who answered correctly, by saying this was the time The Fabulous Ones, Stan Lane and Steve Keirn, went against Jimmy Hart and his Moondogs, Rex and Spot. Corey said we thought we had you this time. The Wrestling Professor told Corey, "You and The King try to come on the show and belittle The Wrestling Professor. Bring him down to size, but I'm gonna let you know that I am the true brains of Memphis Wrestling. It's a new era in town and it is The Wrestling Professor!"
They go to the classic footage of The Fabulous Ones squaring off against The Moondogs with Jimmy Hart in their corner. The finish of this one came when Jimmy Hart attempted to hit Steve Keirn in the face with some powder, but Keirn ducked and Hart blasted the Moondog with the powder. Keirn leveled him with a piledriver and attempted the pin, but the other Moondog tried to attack him with his bone. Keirn moved, again, resulting in the Moondog striking his own partner. When this happened, Stan Lane jumped in and pinned the hurt Moondog to get the win for The Fabulous Ones.
They showed more footage from the River Palace Arena at the Sam's Town Casino when Jerry "The King" Lawler battled "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. This was a fun match. There was a guy bandaged up, wearing a mask at ringside, that they said was Derrick King because he was "lit up" by Lawler the week before. Referee Jerry Calhoun took a bump. Lawler dropped the fist on Masters. The bandaged guy jumped in the ring and kicked Lawler. Lawler retaliated, by piledriving him. After Lawler, cleared the ring, Derrick King appeared, without a mask, nailing Lawler with a chain. Masters nonchalantly pinned "The King" while posing, but Lawler reversed the pinning combination and got the three count, defeating Masters. Following the match, Chris Masters and Derrick King got into an argument and began pushing each other, resulting in Derrick King taking the Masterlock Challenge and not fairing too well.
Wood & Carlton P.C. Attorneys at Law Slam of the Week was Derrick King striking Lawler with a chain. Corey Maclin wrapped up the show, saying he'll be looking for everyone, next week.

LET THE WAR BEGIN!! NBW TALENT ANNOUNCED!! DYERSBURG/RIPLEY IN PARTNERSHIP!!
----Sources lasted night reported to me that DCW/WOWF with booker Derrick King will be working side by side with TLCW’s booking team of Stan Lee/Greg Anthony. This is as of right now. LOL It has been back and forth on what they had planned to do. King was very upset that he had been promised the books at TLCW at the front of 2009, but owner Tim Cummins along with Lane/Anthony had decided they wanted to keep the book. In return, it looked like there was going to be an all out war with everyone for themselves. As of this morning, it looks like it will be NBW backed up against the wall as Dyersburg-Ripley will be working together with some of the guys doing double duty and others rotating in 6 week intervals. That is a great idea for both companies as it will keep talent fresh and with the distance of Dyersburg-Ripley [30 minutes] they have been running with both drawing 100+ and near 200+ for big shows.
----NBW is left out in the cold here. I am expecting it to be told by officials of both promotions to work either Dyersburg or Ripley, but not NBW. As you can tell by the poster, NBW will promote in Newbern, TN with a roster including Jeremy Moore, “The Posse” [Lil Chris/Simon Reed], Sarge O’Reilly [very over in this area], Brandon Espinosa [former member of the LAW roster], Jason Reed, Chris Rocker, XOW [not sure what that means], Big Red and more. Not sure how Rocker figures in with all this, because as I said above I don’t think either TLCW/Dyersburg is going to let them do double shots. Moore and company even have a harder job now with both companies against them and running a town that is not proven to draw. Moore has spent 2008 building his company to drawing the same as TLCW, but now with both against him – it will be interesting to see what it does.
----This whole trading talent working together deal was pivoted by Dustin Starr wanting to work double duty with TLCW/Dyersburg. When he was told they were not going to do that, then he was going to opt out and work NBW/TLCW. Derrick King talked with Stan Lee again and they made the decision of trading talent and letting guys do double duty. TLCW core line up will be Chris O’Neal, Christian Jacobs, Dell Tucker, Oz. Steven Rampage, Stan Lee, Maxx Corbin, Albino Rhino and Greg Anthony. It looks like Starr will do double duty the first week and look for a few more to do the same.
Robbie Douglas Update!!
----We have heard from a source close to the Robbie Douglas situation that WBBJ report is false. I was told that Douglas was NOT breaking into anyone's house. And since the case will be in litigation, anything from this point on will be considered hearsay or just pure speculation on my part until everything is presented to the court. In other words, this will be the last thing posted about the situation unless we get reports of the court case in the future. Again, as I said in an earlier post, I wish Douglas a speedy recovery.
----I am posting the full story that was posted on www.jacksonsun.com and as noted on the Kayfabe Message Board by CrimeFighter, this is probably the most complete account of the incident we will get.
Officer put on paid leave
Humboldt police officer shoots ex-boyfriend outside Milan homeA Humboldt police officer is on paid administrative leave after she shot her ex-boyfriend in the hip outside her Milan home, according to Milan and Humboldt police.
Humboldt officer Melody Pierce, 31, told Milan police she shot Robert Kendall shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday after a scuffle over a gun.
Hunter Stewart, another Humboldt police officer, also was involved in the incident. Stewart was back at work Monday, said Humboldt Police Chief Raymond Simmons.
Simmons said the Humboldt Police Department would not take any further action until Milan police conclude their investigation.
"At this point, we are not aware that either of (the Humboldt officers) have violated any city ordinance," Simmons said.
Milan police Commander Bobby Sellers said Monday the incident is still under investigation and no one has been arrested.
Sellers said he was trying to get in touch with Kendall to interview him about the shooting.
Kendall, 26, of Humboldt, was taken to an area hospital after the shooting. Sellers said he did not know what Kendall's condition was Monday. Kendall could not be reached for comment.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which sometimes assists with investigations of officer-related shootings, is not involved in this case, said John Mehr, special agent in charge with the TBI in Jackson. He said the TBI investigates such cases at the request of the district attorney general.
According to the initial police report, Milan police responded to a call of someone breaking a window on South First Street on Saturday night.
When police arrived at Pierce's home, they found Kendall lying in the carport with a gunshot wound to his hip, according to the police report. Pierce was standing about eight feet from Kendall, holding a handgun. She was still on the phone with a police dispatcher, telling the person she had shot Kendall, the report said.
Pierce told police that Kendall, who is her ex-boyfriend, and Stewart were fighting in the carport when Kendall reached for Stewart's gun, the report said. She then shot Kendall to protect Stewart, Pierce told police.
Pierce said Kendall had harassed her in the past, according to the report. Earlier Saturday, Kendall entered her home without permission and also locked her into a bedroom with him, she said. She asked him to leave and he did, Pierce said.
Stewart told police that after the window to the house was broken, he walked outside with his handgun and saw Kendall walking away, the report said. Stewart told Kendall to stop, and Kendall turned around and walked toward him, the report said. Stewart then pointed his gun at Kendall and told him to stop.
Stewart told police he then put his gun behind his back. At that point, Kendall hit Stewart and pushed him into the carport wall, Stewart said. The two began wrestling for the handgun, the police report said.
That is when Pierce shot Kendall, according to the report.
Both Pierce and Stewart were carrying their department-issued handguns, Sellers said.
Sellers said he was not aware of any relationship between Pierce and Stewart other than that they were coworkers.
Pierce joined the Humboldt Police Department in July 2006 and Stewart joined in November 2007, Simmons said.

----I was told the three best bouts were the tag title change, casket match and the main event…Bishop, Flash and Rashard are all gone after this show…I have talked with a few people about this subject. This show with over double the regular attendance proves one thing – shows draw on storylines, not just one wrestler. It is all about the whole package. There were some out there that thought since Derrick King was not on the show or booking that the show that it would not draw a big number. If more promoters would realize it is not about ONE wrestler, it is about ALL the matches, then they might draw better…DK wasn’t there, but damn it looked like a long show – you sure he didn’t book it. LOL…RRO was not in attendance as planned, because I was a bit under the weather this past weekend…I hate ref vs ref matches!!!

Rebirth of a Legacy!!
----I feel there is probably going to be a lot written in the next few weeks about the emergence of a new promotion aka old promotion - DCW/WOWF Wrestling. [Am I the only one that hates that name??] As I have reported, there will now be four promotions in driving distance in the Dyer County area. I believe TIWF may be the only promotion that will come out of this without any scars - mainly because they stick to themselves and don't play the games. NBW [debuts in Newbern, TN this weekend] and TLCW [in Ripley, TN] will both battle it out with DCW/WOWF over talent and fans. After looking at their roster it makes me wonder if some of the guys like Chris Rocker and Dustin Starr will be doing double duty?? Flex, Derrick King and Tatt2 do not have regular Saturday night spots, so they will be the "neutral" ones, even though they got deep TLCW roots also. Tim Edwards, Motley Cruz, BLS, Shannon Lee, Mark Justice and Seth Knight have all been working NBW. It looks like they will be here now. Kilo has been with TIWF, but with NBW up until a few weeks ago. "The Aslyum" [Pappy/Psycho] make the jump from RWA and have been featured for both NBW/TLCW.
----I plan to have more details on who is going where and such later in the week - where all the lines will be drawn. I will have a look at a bigger picture as Derrick King, who we talked to this week and he confirmed that he will the booker of the DCW/WOWF, but also HAD plans of returning to TLCW earlier next year. That is another whole big story that will we will cover later this week.

Show started with Frank Martin telling the crowd that before they talked about wrestling he wanted to talk about life. Well actually Life and Death. One of the fans of the RWA Roger Veitto and Justin Love had a death in their family. Justin's mother and Rogers Aunt passed away this past week. The family has no money for her services so the RWA is taking up collections for the family.
Now the life part of the show Martin announced that Rodney Mack and Jazz are proud parents of twin baby girls. Summer and Skye are their names and the all is well in the Mack household. Congratulations to the new parents.
Martin then announced that there was a huge surprise for the fans since they came out on this Thanksgiving weekend.

3rd Match. New comers to the RWA John Allen and Roger Allen. VS The Asylum (Psycho and Pappy) Winner The Asylum

5th match was to be Must Be a Pin Fall match The Natural Born Playaz VS Pokerface and Mike Anthony. Only Mike Anthony came out and agreed to a handicap match. Pokerface eventually made it to the ring but it was to late as the Playaz got the pin fall. After the match while the Playaz were celebrating their victory, Martin came out from the back. He told the Playaz he was tired of their games and so they had to play one of his games. He then did the kids game ennie meannee Mininie Moe game and when he came to the and you are not it. He told Southside he was barred from the building next week. If he shows up or comes to the building he will be fined and then fired. But Mr. Pimptacular won the game and since he won Martin told him he would give him his prize. Mr Pimptacular won an all expense trip to the RWA ring next week for a handicapped match between him and Pokerface and Mike Anthony. If he does not show up he was fired. Crowd loved this game...
The big surprise of the evening was next...
Match 6. Derrick King and Johnny Dotson VS Kevin Douglas and Bull.
This was Derrick's and Johnny's debut in the RWA. This was the best tag team match that the RWA has had in a long, long, time... Derrick and Johnny did a mic spill that was a classic. As the match started is was obvious that these two teams matched up well. Kevin Douglas and Bull are from the Dallas/Fortworth area and were trained by Rodney Mack. They both have a lot of experience. It was a great match that went back and forth and had the crowd hotter than they normally are. A fan even tried to throw a chair at King! Security stepped in and calmed the fan down for the rest of the match. In the end Kevin and Bull got the victory by pin fall over Derrick and Johnny. Derrick and Johnny were both stunned and got the mic and Derrick told the crowd that it was a fast count and Kevin had a hold of his tights. So the Winners by DQ were Derrick King and Johnny Dotson. As The two were going back to the dressing rooms King pointed at Martin and told him "we are coming back" then they turned to the crowd and told them "we will be back"!!
Things are getting really interesting in the RWA...
The Main Event The Angel of Sin [pictured] VS Rodney Mack for the RWA Heavyweight Title.
The Angel came to the ring with his Disciple and then brought out his wife, Athena. He claims she is the greatest women's wrestler in the world.
The match was a great match that kept the crowd hot and very much into the match. These two know each other well and they were not holding anything back. They were very physical with every move, punch and chop. In the end as Rodney made his comeback he went for the spear and hit it. As the ref counted 1, 2, Athena pulled the ref out of the ring breaking the count. The Angel mounted a comeback but Rodney cut him off and went for the second spear and the Angel of Sin pulled the ref into the path. The Angel then hit his finisher and pulled the ref over and with the ref out the Angel took his hand and made the 3 count. knowing that would not count he did his best to get the ref back into the match and the ref did indeed make the 3 count and the New RWA Heavyweight Champion is The Angel of Sin..
Over 125 again for the show.

Rebecca got on the mic and said she came here to prove a point that woman can compete with men.And she planned on it being a one time deal but now she is mad and plans on staying around until she can get the three of them in a match. The girls challenged the guys for any two of them to have a match with them Christmas Night and that the other please come to ring side so they can keep and eye on them and they would bring some one to be in their corner.
The guys said ok and said who you going to get one of these fat women and pointed to the front row. Maybe that old lady in the second row or even better yet one of these rednecks. Misty said no she already had some one in mind and he was coming that night to give her an award and she said she knew he would be happy to be in her corner and that it was not a woman but he is like these people that comes to the matches he is the original people's champion and he knows how to fight because he is the leader of the street people she was talking about "Handsome" Jimmy "Boogie Woogie Man" Valiant.
