RassleTube: Tatt2 Gets Run Over By A Car and SAW TV
----Here are two videos. One is just Tatt2 taking a crazy bump over a car. Crazy shit. The next one is Southern All Star Wrestling, which is the full one hour show. I thought visitors of this site would enjoy the show. It has some locals on it.
10 Years Ago on Memphis Wrestling
USWA: Now this is what you call a bizarre story. On last week’s tv show, Billy Travis was arrested by the cops during the show. It turned out that it was only partly a work. Travis’ real life ex-wife and daughter were flipping the dial on their tv on June 21st, and noticed Travis was back working in Memphis. Travis owed a significant amount of child support money to his ex-wife. They called the police, and the police showed up at the Memphis studios on Saturday morning, June 28th. Jerry Lawler apparently knew the officers, and requested for them to wait until the end of the show to arrest him, but they said they had a job to do. Lawler then talked the police into making it part of an angle, in that they could arrest him live on tv, with Travis fighting the cops off, in exchange for the cops not to add ‘resisting arrest’ charges, all of which actually took place live on tv. The storyline excuse for Travis’ arrest on tv was that Brian Christopher had called the cops on him after he’d vandalised Christopher’s truck. Making matters even worse, Travis’ daughter was watching the tv show on June 28th, and seeing her dad fighting with police and being arrested sent her hysterical, to the point she had to go to the hospital……….In other news, PG-13 had returned as heels…. Mabel had injured the Fake Razor Ramon….. There was lots of speculation linking WWF with using USWA as a developmental territory.
Local Guys Slated for RAW tomorrow night
----Derrick King, “Picture Perfect” [Christian Jacobs/Jon Michael], are headed to the WWE for TV tapings tomorrow in Lafayette, LA for RAW and Tuesday for WWF Smackdown tapings in New Orleans, LA. Have fun guys!! Good luck!! I hope someone gets a deal out of it!! Alex Krisis and Matt Boyce, who were scheduled to be part of these tapings, have been pushed back to sometime later this summer.
Anton Leveigh and Brandon Barbwire Continue to Get Good Reviews...
----This is from Larry Goodman's WrestleBirmingham report from Friday night. CLICK HERE to read the full report.
(3) Anton Leveigh beat Brandon Barbwire in 6:37. The crowd appreciated this match, although these guys weren’t as on as they were that first night in Graysville. They worked a fast-paced TNA X Division style. Barbwire did a good job connecting with the crowd as a heel. Leveigh hit a cool springboard neckbreaker early. Barbwire threw Leveigh over the top and beat him up on the outside. The crowd got on Barbwire when he started having trouble with his footing. Barbwire used a swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Leveigh came back with a leg lariat for a near fall. Leveigh popped the crowd with a satellite DDT. Barbwire got a big near fall with a spinning uranage. The finish was Leveigh reversing a powerbomb into the Border Destroyer. They didn’t hit it clean, but Petey’s finisher never fails to get a response.
and then
Once again, I always love to hear a good review for Anton and Apoc(brandon). I worked for them in their first promotion, XAW in Millington, TN at the Quito Community Center and having just a blast with them. I can really tell ya that they have so much talent and need to be watched.

Benoit Coverage: Wrestling Observer Newsletter 7.02.07
----This was posted over at Trent's board a few days back. I just finished reading the issue about Chris Benoit yesterday and it really does paint a picture of a guy that was extremely depressed and disturbed. Below is what was posted, but I highly suggest subscribing to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to just read his coverage of the Benoit story. I am not a big fan of the newsletter anymore, because of all the MMA coverage, but he did a great job on these issues.
Some of the Highlights or Lowlights
-Dave confirmed he used a form of the Crippler Crossface on Daniel. This is interesting since Bryan was adamant that the story was bullshit. Apparently investigators found marks on the boys arm and neck that they didn't understand and upon watching a tape of a Benoit match and seeing the move it made sense. They just said it was a "choke" as to not further sensationalize an already sensationalized story.
-Dave said Bryan was closer to Benoit (he found his writing hilarious) then he was and that Dave hardly ever talked to Chris (while Bryan seemed to indicate semi regular contact). Thought that was interesting as we rib Bryan about getting all his sources through Dave but I never thought he'd have more access to someone like Benoit then Dave.
-Benoit got a prescription for the anti-depressant Xanax at the doctor's visit on Friday.
-Benoit started going downhill after Eddy died because he lost the one guy who he could confide in and shared his problems with. Apparently close friends always knew Benoit had the same problems as Eddy (pills, etc.) and suggested Benoit seriously needed to see a therapist but no one suggested it since he wasn't the type to be open to that sort of thing.
-Apparently the death of Johnny Grunge hit Benoit even harder then Eddy since they were neighbors and him and Nancy fighting was somewhat common and he'd be the one to come over and defuse situations and make Chris laugh. After he died, Chris didn't have that buffer when things got out of control.
-Chris and Nancy had recently separated for a period of time, and Dave received a change of address form for an apartment different then their house (I believe Bryan mentioned he got a different address too).
-Chris recently opened up a new life insurance claim naming his ex-wife and his older 2 kids as the beneficiaries and refused to include Nancy or Daniel.
-When there were rumors of him leaving for TNA, Dave asked him about it and Chris was paranoid thinking Dave had inside info that WWE was going to release him. He apparently may have thought ECW was a demotion and the next step would be out the door. He was reportedly obsessed with establishing himself at the HHH/HBK level. He had grown increasingly paranoid that someone was out to get him and didn't let Nancy leave the house at night or Daniel to play outside and would take different routes from the airport home each time in case he was being followed.
-Nancy confided to a friend in wrestling days before the murders that she feared for her life and the friend told her to go take Daniel to her parents place in Florida (as she had done before when Chris became violent) but she didn't this time. Apparently she had a lockbox at the bank with notes indicating if something happened to her, it was Chris.
-Theory is that she told him she was leaving him for good and taking Daniel and that's when he snapped on her. Loved his son and when she filed for divorce all he wanted was joint custody. Theory is he killed Daniel because in his mind he couldn't bare to let him be alone without his parents and in his condition so it was a "mercy killing".
-Someone in WWE informed Dave before the RAW show that Chris had killed them, but others in the company were unaware but at least someone high up knew before the tribute show was put on the air.
-Dave says he can't write a proper obit/career retrospect and doesn't know if he ever will.
-Nancy visited Dr. Astin on Thursday asking questions about how she could raise Daniel on her own.
-Dave gave a description of the common profile of men who kill their whole families and it was eerily similar to Benoit (hard working, driven, experienced a loss, a few friends but no real support system, anxiety, etc."
-Said Chris was constantly anxious about something. When he was at home he was worried about wrestling, when wrestling he was worried about his family.
-How's this for eerie. When Vince called all the guys in the ring before RAW to give the news, the stage had been decorated with a casket, reefs, candles with Vince's picture, etc. like a funeral. Talent was told to bring dark suits like a funeral to the taping. I'm sure that was a blast. Vince apparently handled it really well, told anyone who wanted to go home would not be disciplined but guys were basket cases and trying to think of some rationalization (carbon monoxide, etc.)
-Regal was a neighbor of Benoit's and Grunge and would have known about the home troubles so that sheds some light on his "tribute".

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 7.07.07
----Corey Maclin opens the show with a graphic for Joan E.W. Golden, who apparently was a friend of his that passed away this week. Maclin promises a lot of action and goes to commercial break. The commercial for July 20th, 2007 “Sam’s Town” featured Sal Corrente getting whipped with a belt by Jimmy Hart.
----"Too Cool 2" [Flex/Tim Grind] interview. Tatt2/Dustin Starr walked out to challenge TC2 for the belts. TC2 say no. Good interview segment. TC2 vs "The Posse" [Lil
Chris/Simon Reed]. Heat on Chris. Starr/Tatt2 came out and got the crowd going crazy for the hot tag. It looked like a screw up finish with Reed almost having Flex pinned, but he had to kick out. Flex/Grind then brawled with Starr/Tatt2 outside the ring and ref Jerry Calhoon ruled No Contest.
----Johnny Dotson beat Shawn Shultz. Heat on Dotson after Shultz threw him over the top rope. Dotson came out the heat with a Juvi driver and then a frog splash. A real good match. One of the better TV bouts of the year.
----An interview aired next filmed earlier this week at Corey Maclin's office. Maclin showed clips of the DK/Dotson feud. Maclin announces signed for the "Sam's Town" show is a TLC Match with JR Title on the line - DK vs Dotson. Good interview. This match will probably be worth the price of admission.
----Mr. Hughes interview. Hughes says Jerry Lawler is in Tunica, MS jail. Hughes beat Sam Shaw. Shaw was standing on ring apron and Hughes kicked him - Shaw did a front flip to the concrete. Hughes gave Shaw more than he usually gets. Shaw has some raw athletic talent. I think Shaw may have got hardway.
----Jerry Lawler on the phone interview. He states that he is not showing up because he is scared he is going to be arrested. He mentions "The Big Cheese" being a big idiot and pressing charges against him. Lawler states he will be at "Sam Town" on July 20, 2007.
----"Opening the Vault" - Jerry Lawler vs Bill Dundee. This bout was from April 15, 1977 – 30 freakin years ago!! The Mid-South Coliseum was packed!! Mickey Poole was Lawler's manager, so this was a true classic. Video quality was perfect. The stips had Dundee's hair vs Poole's hair and Lawler's Southern title. Match was stopped because Dundee was not in any condition to continue the bout. Great clips.
----Kevin White comes out with Garry White & "The Agents". They show the clips of milk magic trick from last week. White says that Spellbinder gets his powers from "that skull" and he is going to get it. Mr. White joins Maclin on commentary. Kevin White beat Cameron Valentine. Mr. White was really funny. White beat Valentine and then the Agents jumped in beating up Valentine. Spellbinder came out and put his skull down to make the save. Can you guess what happens next?? White steals the skull and then the Agents with Garry tie up Spell and drag him out of the studio. This is all real campy, but I like it.
----NOTES: Tatt2 has this hilarious tag line that makes no sense, but is over in TLCW Ripley, TN [a weekly promotion that uses a lot of the Memphis Wrestling workers] and looks like it will be over here. He says, "What it is beef jerky?" and then a pause and says, "Smooooooth Turkey!!" As I said, it makes no sense but it is over with me...Tim Grind looks in fantastic shape...Shultz is also in great shape and a very good worker...Even though Lawler has stated that he will be at "Sam's Town", the Ohio Valley web site has him booked that night. I am looking for them to do an angle out of this with Hollywood Jimmy claiming Lawler is in jail or something...I am all about pushing the new talent, but this week's "Opening the Vault" was classic stuff. Lawler used a chain and got heat from the 15 minute mark until the end of the bout. If they are going to do these segments, they should do a Lawler vs Dundee series...I believe Valentine and Shaw both were trained by Mr. Hughes..."Agents" this
week were K-Hill, Albino Rhino and Maxx Corbin. Alex Krisis was not there...I would also like to thank Mark James the author of a new book titled “Memphis Wrestling History: Cards, Matches, Results & Newspaper Clippings Vol 1: 1970-1985” for his help on the date of the Lawler vs Dundee bout.

RassleResults: NBW. Dyersburg, TN. 7-7-07
The show started off this week with NBW commissioner Jimmy Tidwell coming out and making the announcement concerning the NBW Tag-Team Titles. Tidwell said that no matter how bad he wanted to, the committee was forcing him to make a decision on this matter. Since Mark Justice was injured last week and is no longer able to compete, Tidwell had no choice but to strip Ca$hFlow of the titles and make a match tonight to determine a new set of champions. Tidwell made the match of Team X vs Treat & Cannon for the belts. Even though after Treat & Cannons attack on Team X last week which left Phoenix X unaccounted for this week, Tidwell made the match a Handicapped match and said that there would be new champions tonight.
Lil' Tim Alfonzo is out for a Hardcore title match against J.Weezy, but Weezy has had a makeover. Weezy took a vacation last week after he won the title, to Hollywood, CA to visit family and has came back a changed man. Weezy is now the "Hollywood Heartthrob" J DUB. Claiming that he will not wrestle hardcore and take a chance on messing up his pretty face. He will defend his title whenever he decides, and it will not be under hardcore rules. He is paid a lot of money for doing what he does and he doesn't have a stunt double, so he is not taking a chance. J DUB was reading from a script that his director had written for him and lost his place several times. J DUB has renamed the Hardcore title, the NBW Hollywood Heavyweight Title and has hired him a bodyguard to make sure that he never loses it and he will reveal him later. J DUB said that tonight is the beginning of the "ENTOURAGE".
"Hollywood Heartthrob" J DUB defeated Lil' Tim Alfonzo to retain the NBW Hardcore title after the returning Gunner Thompson came out and interfered. Thompson grabbed J DUB around the throat and was milking a punch, when from out of nowhere he grabbed Alfonzo and delivered a Modest Bomb securing J DUB's victory.
"The One Man Wrecking Crew" TANK defeated "Playboy" Tommy Love after a "Warhead". (double handed sit down chokeslam)
San Francisco Treat & Loose Cannon w/Buckwheat defeated Gryffon X in a Handicapped match to become the new NBW Tag-Team Champions when Gryffon went for a rollup on Cannon and Buckwheat nailed Gryffon with one of the tag titles.
Slim "the Bulldog" Pickens defeated "Upset Kid" Jeremy Moore to become the new NBW High Risk Champion when Pickens attempted a bulldog and Moore shoved him into the referee my mistake. Moore was setting up for an RKO when Gaylon Ray came out and nailed Moore with a pair of Brass Knucks and pulled Pickens on top of Moore.
Christian Jacobs came out for an interview stating that the last time he was there, he suffered a concussion but that wasn't going to stop him from wrestling tonight.
Big Red defeated "Girl Candy" Christian Jacobs by count out
Red worked on Jacobs head the entire match leaving him in a state of delusion. Jacobs would not stay down for anything, so after a stiff kick in the head, Red threw Jacobs to the outside and Jacobs made it back into the ring right after the referee counted to 10. Jacobs had to be helped back to the locker room by his partner Jon Michael and Chris Rocker.
Triple Threat Match with the winner receiving a BYE in the first round of the NBW Lucky 7 Tournament with the winner getting a guaranteed title shot at LEGACY in September.
Chris Rocker defeated "Trendsetter" Jon Michael & "Pretty Sexy" Gaylon Ray
Jon Michael hurt his knee towards the end of the match and Ray took advantage by putting a figure 4 around the ring poll on Michael. Rocker broke it up and threw Ray back in the ring where Ray cut him right off and went for the Brass Knucks. Rocker ducked the shot, gave Ray an Atomic drop before delivering a superkick for the win.
NBW Heavyweight Champion "Southern Outlaw" Kilo defeated "Real Deal" Tim Edwards by reverse decision in a non title match. Edwards worked Kilo's shoulder after he attempted a shoulder tackle in the corner and got thrown into the corner post. Edwards applied a Fujiwara armbar on Kilo, but he made it to the ropes for the break. Kilo came back and attempted a ddt but Edwards spun out and locked the armbar back in, in the center of the ring. Kilo did not tap, but passed out from the pain. The referee called for the bell but Edwards refused to remove the hold. after the referee reversed the decision declaring Kilo the winner, Edwards bumped both referees and went back to his attack on Kilo. Gryffon X came out for the save and got knocked down, as did Lil' Tom Aflonzo and Jeremy Moore. Edwards went back for the arm when Tank ran to the ring and Edwards took off.
NOTES: Crowd was around 70 with a gate of close to $400.
The crowd really wants to see Edwards & Tank hook it up and they just keep building.
J DUB's character really got over. He is a fully turned heel now and it shows. Great crowd reaction.

LAWLER LIES....
--Jerry Lawler was on the ch. 13 news in Memphis saying steroid use is rare in wrestling. The King may have never done steroids himself, but saying that only shows he can lie with the best of them. One of the reasons wrestling will always have problems is because so many of the people in wrestling deny even the most obvious problems.----What did you expect him to say; really?? He is just saying the company line on this one and I would not expect him to say anything else but that. Or maybe he could have said, "I have never used steroids, but it would be hard to say other wrestlers have never used steroids." BTW, for a guy that is turning 58 this November, Lawler is probably in the best shape he has ever been in. During my interview with him, he did look his age in the face, but you could tell he works out and keeps fit. He even said "no thanks" to a energy drink from Kenny Valiant because "those things are full of carbs."
----Lawler did make comments about the Sal Corrente on his web site, which were actually posted the Friday morning of the day I interviewed him that night. The post is very similar to what he had said to me that night. An interesting note on the whole Corrente/Lawler situation is that Lawler is suppose to be served papers on 7.20.07 in Tunica, MS at "Sam's Town", but he is scheduled to be at Ohio Valley Wresting for a "Six Flags" show at 7:30 PM that night. If Lawler is advertised for the Memphis Wrestling show, then they are doing a "bait & switch" and doing a big angle revolved around him getting arrested.

Moondog Nathan Passes Away
----Nathan Brian Randolph, who worked with Spot Moondog at one time as The Moondogs team, was found dead on July 4, 2007 from an apparent heart attack. Nathan wrestled as the second Rex [original one being Randy Colley]. He was also known in the area as Moondog Nathan to workers and friends. Nathan came to surface on this site when he showed up to wo
rk as a Moondog team along with a guy named Runt in June of last year. This all sparked a controversy, which lead to a few articles and arguments throughout the summer.
----I talked with Nathan over the phone during this story and he was a nice and polite guy. He stated about using the Moondog gimmick - “I have been doing this since Larry and I broke up.” Booker and Nathan worked in Nashville and Memphis as the Moondogs. Larry moved to Osceola to start his wrestling school and Nathan moved to Athens, AL. He said, “I have always been a Moondog and I always will. Larry did not care that I was a Moondog when he was alive, why do they care now??”
----Nathan will be buried tomorrow with the funeral services at Spry Funeral Home in Athens, Alabama. Services start at 12:30 PM, which will be followed by graveside services. There will be no visitation due to no insurance.
----Our condolences to friends and family of Nathan Brian Randolph.

----It looks lik
e they will have some new roster members and some mix of the old roster. By the message above it looks like they might be a little more adult oriented. Scott Porteau will be a major part of the promotion backstage helping with booking and such. I will have more details when I get them.

RassleResults: TLCW Ripley, TN 6.30.07
---- “The Posse” [Lil Chris/Simon Reed] was suppose to work Dell Tucker/Chris Lexx for the tag belts, but Tucker/Lexx walked away from the ring and up the ramp – “Genocide” [Albino Rhino/Maxx Corbin] jumped them and beat them up. Lexx got color… Precious beat Alex Fontez…Tatt2 over Shawn Shultz…Bishop beat Shannon Lee…Chris O'Neal over Matt Foley. Stan Lee over Randy in Non-Title Match….Seth Knight over Tommy Redneck… Lexx got color…”The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony vs Derrick King – No Contest.
----Bishop hurt his ACL…Brian Steele threw Redneck a chain, but the ref caught him with it. When he turned around Knight caught him with a RKO. Knight got a good pop as this was his first show back since “Mayhem”…Dustin Starr told Chris O’Neal that if he beat Matt Foley, then he would get him in the ring next week. Starr vs O’Neal last week ended with Starr running away from O’Neal. Man, they are milking this angle big time. Good to see someone take some time to do an angle, instead of rush everything…Dell Tucker/Chris Lexx won the TLCW Tag Team Titles from “Rhythm & Blues” [Brian Steele/Ike Tucker] last week…DK did an interview where he said how could TGB call himself “Best of the Best” when he had not beat DK??...”The Posse” jumped Stan Lee who was at ringside with DK…”Posse” are not full fledge heels yet – it is just a program they are working vs “Hot Topic”…I have been told that Flash Flanagan is taking some time off.

Ratings Are In!!!
----Nothing good can be said about this week’s show. The overall rating of the show was a 1.8 [29,884 viewers] making it the second lowest rating of the year. This was coming off last week’s second highest of the year. This happened pretty much the same earlier this year when they scored a 4.1 and the next week they lost 30,000 viewers. This show did the same. You have to go into producing EVERY show trying to put on the best show possible, so when there are a lot of people watching like last week, then they will return to watch it.
----There are two other bad trends of the show. For the last three weeks, the program has lost over 20,000 in one quarter of the show. All three shows have had over 50,000 people turn it off from start to finish. The last three weeks the show’s highest quarter has been the first quarter. As one vet in the business asked me this week, “Doesn’t show suppose to GROW???” The first quarter being your highest quarter just tells you that you had people tuning in, but they seen it was going to be same crap, so they just turned it off. This would be a death for any other TV show.
----It is really sad because this group had three really good shows in a row and seemed to be on a roll at bringing back the crowd. They must get over all of the talent and keep consentient storylines. Long term planning of angles and shows for weeks in advance. But, we all know that doesn’t happen, when Corey Maclin usually books the shows that morning. I really hope this doesn't get any of the guys heat, but the first thing I would do to revamp the show with Corey being joined by another announcer [like Michael Ward, Brian Thompson or Kimble Winstead] and hire either Derrick King or Bill Dundee as the booker.

Too much action the night before I guess. [Did I say that out loud?? LOL]…The Leprechauns had good time with Cannon double drop toe holded him into the lake. That had to be funny.

Congrats TGB and Jeanna!!!
----"The Golden Boy" Greg Anthony wrote the following in a myspace bulletin. Congrats!!!
"We went in Tuesday morning at 7am to enduce labor.
Well It took forever for Jeanna to dialate. she wasn't 4 cm until after 7pm. So by like 9pm she was 5cm then at 10pm she was still 5cm. So the Doctor said that with her contractions being a good as they are but with no progress in dialation that we should think about C-Section. We decided that was the best thing for her and the baby and went ahead with it, so at 1:31am on July 4th, 2007 Xavier Anthony Hertel was born and we found out the reason she couldn't deliver him naturally.... he was 9lbs and 3ozs!"

Classic Heel Turn by Gene Jackson
As I'm currently writing an article for this site on the "good ol' days" of great tag team wrestling, I was thinking of who was MY favorite tag team and while I was a big fan of the Rock & Roll Express when I was a kid, being an avid Continental fan my favorite was the Nightmares. During the time Eddie Gilbert was booking there they booked a great angle (although heartbreaking for me at the time) where the Nightmares split.
I'm posting two videos of the angle below so be sure and check it out, if it seems familiar to you it was booked almost exactly like Eddie Gilbert's turn on Tommy Rich in Memphis, but it plays out perfect here, I was around 10 years old at the time and I completely fell for the swerve and I was yelling at Ken Wayne through the tv. I don't think hardly anyone of any age feels any real emotional connection to todays stuff like you did back then. Anyways this led to a great series of matches between the two, many I got to see in person in Columbus, MS. One of the matches was great, Ken said Danny Davis couldn't out WRESTLE him so they had a match where the first person to throw a punch lost. So the whole match Wayne is insulting him and doing everything he can to try to get Danny to throw a punch at him til finally after 15 minutes or so, Davis snaps and just starts beating the shit out of him, which is a great finish cause Ken Wayne gets the win, but the crowd popped huge and went home happy seeing Wayne get his ass kicked.......and so it goes on. Anyway, check out the clips below and check back soon for my article on the glory days of tag team wrestling. ENJOY YOUR FOURTH!
