----This was posted over at www.wrestlingnewscenter.com by D-Rock. The big news is - Channel 50 as of 10.10.09 will have a three hour wrestling block!! It will start at 10:00 AM with IWA Wrestling followed by Memphis Wrestling [which aired Lawler For Mayor instead of wrestling this week] and then XOW. How will XOW do compared to the other two shows?? How good will production be?? I was told by a guy that worked the show that it was a fun time, but there is only one camera. I am posting these SPOILERS, but honestly, I am not going to read it. I know...but..if you know me - I don't even listen to finishes backstage, so I want to watch it has it happens. RRO also will be doing a weekly poll starting 10.10.09 and you will be able to vote for the best show of the three each week.
"The Mayor" Oscar Barlow kicked things off by announcing to the Hernando audience that they were being a part of the first ever XOW TV Taping that will be airing on WPXX/My50 Memphis, starting October 10th at 12:00 noon. Also, on October 10th, XOW will be returning to Hernando for another set of tv tapings. Oscar said, "It's been a long time since a good product has been put on Memphis tv." Oscar mentioned that on the show, we'll see "Downtown" Bruno, Danny B. Good, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock and many, many more. Oscar got the crowd to get loud.
Oscar was joined by his broadcast partner, Al Hall. Oscar and Al were sporting new XOW shirts. Cool shirts. Before the taping got underway, one guy jumped up, chanting "XOW!" Al said, "That guy wants to be on tv. You've got a radio face, but we'll try to see what we can do."
1st TV Taping:
"The Mayor" Oscar Barlow and Al Hall opened the first taping.

Billy said we've got all kinds of tournaments and terrific stuff lined up for XOW. Tony Watts walked out to add that he's half owner of XOW, as well. Tony told Billy, "I don't know who you think you are?" After Tony said his piece, Billy's responded with, "But I look good." That was funny.
