Airing April 26, 2008 in Nashville on ION Network affiliate WNPX 28
Michael St. John and Reno Riggins were at ringside to open the show. They informed us that today’s main event would be a tag team grudge match with the Tennessee Violence Authority making their first title defense against the Dream Team.
(1) Rick Santel (with Paul Adams) beat Chris Eckos in 5:06. Santel immediately double Eckos over with a knee to the gut and shared a chuckle with Paul. Eckos showed had something for Santel, but ended up with a real tummy ache after a crash-and-burn quebrada. Paul shed mock tears and used his towel to wipe them dry. As Santel was having fun beating up on Eckos, Riggins theorized that Santel turned to the dark side because he was jealous of Boogie Woogie Boy’s popularity and then Paul got in his head. MSJ and Reno put Paul over as one of the greatest managerial masterminds of all time. St. John put him above Saul Weingeroff, Sir Clement and Lou Albano when it came to giving his man the advantage in a match. Eckos escaped from a back suplex and decked Santel with a discus forearm. The comeback was short-lived as Santel put Eckos away with the Santel Slam.
Postmatch, Santel tied up Eckos so Adams could slap the defenseless kid across the face. It made Reno sick at his stomach.
Video highlights of “Best of the Best” Chrisjen Hayme aired next.
(2) Shane Eden defeated Lawrence Lane in 10:58. Lane was pissed about Shane’s stylin’ and attacked from behind. Eden came right back with a pair of spinwheel kicks. It was all Eden in the opening minutes with the crowd completely behind him. Riggins said Eden had rededicated himself and was in the best shape he had seen him in 4 or 5 years. Lane used a mule kick to the nutsack to turn the match around. Lane ripped at Eden’s eyes, choked him with his necktie and locked in a sleeper. Reno said Lane was doing a good job of cutting off the oxygen supply. Lane distracted the ref and leg-dropped Eden’s groin. Lane started working the knee. MSJ mentioned that Eden was coming off of knee surgery. Eden broke free and tried to nip up, but the knee gave way. Lane applied a single leg crab. Eden made the ropes. Lane chop blocked him to continue the torture. Enzuigiri from nowhere and Lane went down in a heap, but Eden was very slow to cover. Eden baited Lane with the crane pose and dropkicked him for a near fall. Lariats on one leg. Lane begged off. Eden pulled the straps down. Eden did the 10 punches. Lane down face first. Eden went for a monkey flip, but Lane blocked and covered with his feet on the ropes. Eden kicked out at two and a half. As Lane griped at the ref, Eden caught him with an O’Connor roll for the three count.
Next up was a personality profile on SAW Television Champion Damien Adams conducted by Riggins. Damien said Ricky Steamboat and Bret Hart were the wrestlers that had the most influence on his style. Damien said his family was supportive of his career in pro wrestling, and although being the champion had him on the road constantly, he was only able to make it back to New York once or twice a week. Damien said he was more than glad to defend the title against Rob Roy McCoy. Damien said he had the opportunity to work for WWE and TNA on several occasion.
Back from commercial, Rob Roy McCoy was with MSJ and wanted to know what was up his title shot. McCoy said he had proved his dominance and Damien had already agreed to the match. That brought Commissioner Freddie Morton out. Morton said he didn’t know how they did things in Scotland but in the good old USA, challengers had to work their way up from the bottom, and furthermore, Neither Damien or McCoy had decision making power. McCoy said it was typical American red tape, and Morton was scared he would take the title for good. McCoy said the blood would be on Morton’s hands, because he was going to run through SAW talent until he got his title shot.
(3) Sucio vs. Dave Leveque ended in a no contest at 1:42 when Rob Roy McCoy attacked the both of them. As two smallish competitors from Derby City Wrestling traded holds, McCoy joined MSJ on commentary.
Everything! I’m entitled to the world and everything in it, because of my bloodline, my superiority, and the fact that you heathens and cretins fail to realize this. Look at these two guys. This disgusts me. These two guys are buddies, keeping it clean, nobody breaking the rules, pandering to the fans. It’s everything I stand against.
Taking matters into his own hands, McCoy dumped Sucio out of the ring and slapped the crossface chickenwing on Leveque. The refs couldn’t pry McCoy off. It took Deputy Commissioner Mike Sircy reading him the riot act to compel McCoy to break the hold.
The SAW cameras were there as the A Team continued to gallivant around Nashville in their limo. This week, Hammerjack allegedly had an image of Lindsay Lohan on his cell phone. Ultimate chick magnet, Rick Santel said he never dated her.
I’m Rick Santel, daddy, I have standards.
Adams tried to focus his crew on the task at hand: TVA’s title defense against Dream Team. Hammerjack said he knew what it was like to be walked on in life, and now it was diamond rings and limousines. He vowed that the gold would stay with TVA. Santel said he would have their backs. Matt Dillinger was completely out of his skull during the entire segment. He was screaming and babbling at nobody in particular. Paul said he had been reading “How to Make Friends and Influence People.” Dillinger wanted to read it. He asked if it had pictures. Hammerjack offered to read it for him. Paul said the book’s message was set goal and achieve them, just like A team had done. The goals for this week were to retain the titles and eliminate the Dream Team.
I love it! I love it! I love it when a plan comes together.
(4) Tennessee Violence Authority (Hammerjack & Matt Dillinger with Paul Adams) beat Dream Team (Boogie Woogie Boy & Arrick Andrews with Miss Boogie) to retain the SAW tag team titles in 7:58. Boogie was a vision in silver with a dorag to match the tights, as TVD would say, you have to love a man that knows how to accessorize. Boogie kissed Reno and used ref Kurt Herron as a coat rack for his ring garb. Andrews displayed his wrestling skills. Boogie just used his fists. The TVA was in disarray. Dream Team dropped a razzle dazzle double elbow on Dillinger, and Andrews laid in some nasty knee strikes. When Andrews mounted the ropes for the 10 punches, Dillinger countered with an inverted atomic drop to start the heat. TVA worked on Andrews’ knee. Reno said that was good strategy against a high flier. Hammerjack hit a sidewalk slam, and Boogie had to make a save. TVA switched without tagging. Andrews connected with a standing dropkick on Dillinger to set up the hot tag. TVA was getting bounced around by Boogie, so Paul antagonized Miss Boogie to distract ref Kurt Herron. Hammerjack nailed Boogie with the sledgehammer and Dillinger covered for the pin. The closing shot was Paul triumphantly raising TVA’s hands on the ramp.
Closing Thoughts: The chaotic segment on the limo was again, one of the highlights of the show. Dillinger is certifiable. McCoy is gold. The deal attacking the jobbers further amplified his heat. His promo, although delivered as a bitching, arrogant heel, had the ring-of-truth of a babyface – the promotion was screwing him and he was calling them on their BS. The “luck of the draw” gimmick to determine title challengers is a problem. They’re building up McCoy and to a less extent, Hayme, as legit challengers because they win matches, but there’s no way to earn a title shot based on merit, which doesn’t do much for the credibility of your title. I didn’t think the personality profile did much for Damien. Riggins talked about him growing up in Puerto Rico, but his accent is pure New York/New Jersey, and he mentioned returning there to visit family. The idea of portraying it like Damien had a busy road schedule defending the title was ridiculous. Anyone watching knows the only shows the promotion advertises outside the SAW Arena are in Columbia and Lebanon, and Damien usually isn’t even booked. The Santel match was what it needed to be. He needed a decisive win after last week. I love MSJ’s 70s and 80s references, but how many viewers had any idea who Sir Clement or Saul Weingeroff were? Eden vs. Lane was a pleasant surprise. They were sent out to kill time because some of the talent had not arrived due to travel problems and had a very good match. Crowd was really into Eden. His selling made the match. Good heat for the main. No surprise in that one. TVA went over in the first meeting, just as they should have – with distraction and a weapon shot – to build for bigger things down the road. TVA worked like a well-oiled machine. Overall, a good show.

Flashback: Sonny King by Mark James
A few weeks ago I was working on a compilation piece (for the RRO 2 year anniversary), and I saw a name in the old cards that I had not thought of in a few years, Sonny King.
The card above took place 30 years ago this week. The main event featured Jerry Lawler & Jimmy Valiant taking on the Southern tag team champions, Joe Leduc & John Louie. The tag champs were managed by Sonny King. I first remember Sonny showing up in Memphis in late 1977. He started to manage Joe Leduc in March 1978. One thing that always comes back to me was when Sonny would be interviewed by Lance Russell ; he would always have a lollipop in his mouth (just like the popular-at-the-time TV character, Kojak). Sonny was smart and his wrestling persona was an extension of that. He was a proud man who would not accept being looked over or held back because of the color of his skin. In most of Sonny’s interviews, even though he was the heel, he was confident and direct, yet talked in a quiet tone. Back then, most bad guys would get out there and just go crazy, Sonny did the opposite and it worked perfect, the fans hated him.
Sonny faded in and out of Memphis over the next few years. In early 1982, tragedy struck. Sonny was visiting some of his friends at a wrestling card in Charlotte, (he wasn’t even on the card). Once outside the arena, Sonny noticed a man attacking another person with a knife. Sonny got involved, was stabbed and almost died.
When Sonny recovered, he came to Memphis for a one-night-only appearance that happened on April 19, 1982. For Memphis fans, it was a weird thing. Sonny challenged Lawler and they were both faces. Neither was the heel. Sonny explained all that had happened to him and how, as he was laying on his death bed, he promised his son that he wouldn’t die. He also promised his son that he’d wrestle again, for the belt. The Southern heavyweight title match was held on that Monday night and Lawler prevailed. If memory serves me correctly, they even shook hands after the match. I don’t remember seeing Sonny King on Memphis Wrestling after that last match.
I recently talked to Jerry Jarrett about this match. Even though he really didn’t remember much about it, he did say that if Sonny had asked for this match as a favor, he would have done it in a heartbeat. He explained Sonny was great on the mic and good in the ring, so putting him in the top match for a week wasn’t a stretch. In addition to this, Jarrett went on to say that Sonny King was not only one of his favorite wrestlers, but was a loyal friend.
Finally, you’re probably wondering why I am doing this whole flashback on a minor known wrestler. I watched the WWE Hall of Fame inductions last month and enjoyed watching Rocky Johnson getting inducted into it. They made mention of him and fellow HOF’er Tony Atlas’ being the first African-American team to hold the WWF World tag team titles approx. 25 years ago. I also remembered Ron Simmons becoming the first African-American man to win a major world singles title (by defeating Vader for the WCW World heavyweight title in the early 1990’s.) What you don’t hear about is on May 22, 1972 Sonny King and Chief Jay Strongbow defeated King Curtis & Mikel Scicluna, in New York City for the WWWF World tag team titles. As far as I can tell, this is the first time an African-American man held a wrestling world title in any of the big 3 wrestling organizations, (WWWF, AWA or NWA). It happened 36 years ago this week.

"What Memphis Watches" by Ron Guidry
Memphis loves Smackdown! Last Friday’s episode of Smackdown was the most watched TV show in Memphis in it’s 7-9pm timeslot. That’s strong! I think there are a few things you have to factor in when looking at SD’s numbers. They are on free TV. I know it’s just the CW network but the fact that it’s on a channel that you don’t need cable to watch is huge. SD is more about the wrestling. Memphis fans love wrestling. We all like good angles but in the end a wrestling show, of any kind, is measured buy the in-ring product and right now, in my opinion, Smackdown has the best in-ring product.
TNA’s numbers stayed about the same this past week. I just read a lil’ article where Paul Heyman said the entire TNA roster was the 2nd most underrated talent in the business: "No long term concepts + bad television writing + zero marketing strategy = hard working talents whose efforts are wasted on a show that has not grown the audience whatsoever despite the tens of millions of dollars sunken into it." He hit the nail on the head with that one.
Memphis Wrestling’s numbers were back to what they have been. I don’t see them changing much until they start taping new shows again. I just hope they haven’t lost a lot of their audience running these rehashed shows.
Raw’s numbers were up a little bit this week which is good after a PPV. A noticeable drop was in the last quarter hour in the 2nd hour. The 9:30-:45 did a 6.2, and then the 9:45-10:00 did a 4.8. I guess some folks, who cared less about the tag-team main event, switched over to TNT to catch the end of the N.O. Hornets/S.A. Spurs playoff game. I know I did. Lol

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.
Thanks and enjoy!!!

Weekend Update: NBW, RWA gimmicks and Chief Kenny Feathers
----Inside the dressing room: It was a fun time in the NBW dressing room this weekend. I got to bs with guys I have known for over 15 years in the business to guys that just come up to me and introduce themselves. I had a few nice talks with Tony Watts – believe us folks – there is no heat!! Also had a great 30+ minute conversation with Jason Reed. I also heard thru the grapevine that a few people were saying that Chris Masters was “late” and was acting like he was more important than everyone else. #1: He was not late, as he was eating with the promoter and #2: I thought he was super nice. The first thing he did when he got to the dressing room is walk around and shake everyone’s hand. Thanks to all cast and crew for their respect and just a fun time.
----“Natural Born Players” are Southside Brawler and Pimptacular. Loose Cannon is now dong a new gimmick calling himself “Classy Meltin Massy”. Cannon has his hair dyed blonde with a pink shirt and checker shorts. “Treat” is now using his shoot name – Rik Burton [spelled that way] and it is the first time in 14 years he has used that name.
----Police Chief Kenny Feathers had an aneurysm and it blew. He had no idea he had one. He always wrestles on the local charity events. According to Fox13 Jeff Myles put on the event as a fundraiser for a local Union University student who lost everything in tornadoes back in February. I was also told that the “Blackbirds” [Iceman/Jazz] were involved in promoting the show. Apparently on the same card Jerry Fuller was rushed to hospital with blocked arteries of the heart after he collapsed in the dressing room. TIWF’s Lawman Williams had this to say about Feathers.
“I have known Chief Feathers for many years outside the wrestling biz. When I first started working for Brownsville PD back in 1989, Chief Feathers was working the K-9 at the Haywood County scales on I-40. He is a professional in every since of the word, and is my friend. He has always enjoyed wrestling, and has been working for several years on the local Indy benefit shows."

RRO Radio presents "Shooting the Shiznit" This Thursday!!!
----There should be a segment on SIE leading up to their first big show. “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony will be coming on talking about the upcoming TLCW "Mayhem" show. We will also talk to him about being on the top downloaded STS show, working Tracey Smothers and hopefully some other stuff. Nothing is “etched in stone” for this show, so join us as we "wing it" most of the show and hopefully I will be joined by my co-host Brian Thompson.
RassleResults: ICW Mathiston, MS - 3rd Anniversay Show!!
The Convicts 1&2 defeated The Executioners Axe and Dagger in a surprising good tag match that saw the father-son team of the Executioners continue to have "communication breakdown". Dagger took a very mean-looking "jailhouse drop" (pedigree) from Convict #1.
Dylan Hale won over Devon Raynes by DQ when Raynes threw Hale over the top rope at about 3 minutes. Raynes claimed he didn't know that ICW had an OTTR disqualification rule.
Trainwreck won an "Anarchy Rules" match over Dirty Sanchez when he took an ether soaked rag away from Sanchez and smothered out the (now former) champion with it. A wild brawl over the building and even out into the parking lot. Crazy action.
Dyaln Hale returned to win "The Pot of Gold" Battle Royale which included Orion of DOA, Mitch Toretta, Executioner Axe, Dagger, Jaymie Justice, & The Convict #1,. It came down to to Hale and Orion. Sanchez ran out to help his partner Orion but instead ended up helping Hale eliminate Orion. Afterwards Raynes hit the ring and attacked (along with DOA) Hale again, but this time Jaymie Justice and Trainwreck came to Hale's rescue. Looks like some definite alliances are being formed here.
In the ICW heavyweight title match, PorkChop Cash and "The Outlaw" JD McKay ended up without a clear winner as promoter Ronnie Watkins had to decalre the referee's decision null and void since he didn't see McKay's foot on the rope when Cash pinned him. Pork Chop got upset at Watkins and shoved him - Watkins had no choice but to suspend Cash for 30 days by the ICW by-laws. This group follows its rules. The title is "held-up" pending further review by the championship committee.
In the 6-Man Texas Tornado Tag Match, ICW Tag champions, Predator and Scorpion, and "Wildfire" Tommy Rich defeated The Disciples of Anarchy (Sanchez and Orion) and Dustin Starr when Rich hit Starr with his famed version of the Lou Thesz press. Another out-of-control match that was all over the place for the most part.
The main event saw WWE Superstar "Grandmaster Sexay" Brian Christopher defeat "Maniac" Mitch Toretta in highly entertaining bout. Can't even begin to describe what went down in this thing. Christopher was in top form. The fans, especially the young girls, adore Brian.
---- Crowd was 147 paid with around 200 in the building…No one left disappointed despite not having the advertised cage match…The group returns to Mathiston on 5-31 and who knows what may happen…And for all the negative press that Brian Christopher Lawler has been receiving lately, he was very professional (for the most part - he did take his time getting ready for his match) in the dressing room. There was no problem with him or Dustin Starr.
Dylan Hale won over Devon Raynes by DQ when Raynes threw Hale over the top rope at about 3 minutes. Raynes claimed he didn't know that ICW had an OTTR disqualification rule.
Trainwreck won an "Anarchy Rules" match over Dirty Sanchez when he took an ether soaked rag away from Sanchez and smothered out the (now former) champion with it. A wild brawl over the building and even out into the parking lot. Crazy action.
Dyaln Hale returned to win "The Pot of Gold" Battle Royale which included Orion of DOA, Mitch Toretta, Executioner Axe, Dagger, Jaymie Justice, & The Convict #1,. It came down to to Hale and Orion. Sanchez ran out to help his partner Orion but instead ended up helping Hale eliminate Orion. Afterwards Raynes hit the ring and attacked (along with DOA) Hale again, but this time Jaymie Justice and Trainwreck came to Hale's rescue. Looks like some definite alliances are being formed here.
In the ICW heavyweight title match, PorkChop Cash and "The Outlaw" JD McKay ended up without a clear winner as promoter Ronnie Watkins had to decalre the referee's decision null and void since he didn't see McKay's foot on the rope when Cash pinned him. Pork Chop got upset at Watkins and shoved him - Watkins had no choice but to suspend Cash for 30 days by the ICW by-laws. This group follows its rules.

The show started out with Axeman calling out all the members of Parental Advisory. They did not want to come out. One of the refs came out of the back and told Axeman they were not coming out. Axeman told him something and he went back to the back. Eventually they did come out and they were dressed in diapers and were sucking on pacifiers. Axeman told them they would get their title shots they wanted if they could win their matches. They went to the back, but before they went they told Axeman that what was going to happen was his fault.

Arena Report: NBW Dyersburg, TN 5.17.08
----The show started with the Christian rock band “Ransom for Many”. The crowd seem to really enjoy them. They had a real good sound. They came off as a “real band” – every one that I talked to enjoyed them.
----The wrestling show started out with Allen Walker coming out to talk about the main event of the show with Jeremy Moore. Moore got a big pop. XOW’s Tony Watts/Sarge O’Reilly/Lil Bit came out. Motley Cruz/Mark Justice ended up jumping Moore and beat him up until Chris Masters made the save. Moore had to be helped to the back.
----Rob Justice won the Hardcore Battle Royal. It featured Jason Matthews, TW Justice, Arnez with Karly, Sicilian Kid [who got a big pop], Bubba Redneck [less I say the better] and Buckwheat. “Riot Squad” got a good pop. Not a great bout, but it was a battle royal. Your typical hardcore stuff and wasn’t much. Finish had Rob in the ring with Arnez and Mark Justice came out to help him win. Rob was pissed and it seems to be part of a bigger storyline with Justice vs Justice.
[**]
----Jon “Biscuit” Roberts beat Jarvis White and Phoenix X to retain the “High Risk” Title. Roberts is real funny doing the “Ric Rude” gimmick here. He is announced as 6’2’’ and 240 lbs. LOL Perfect spot for him as a mid-card heel. Match was full of spots with very little psychology. Triple Threats are hard to work, even for the old pros and for these guys it could not be done. All the moves were solid and Roberts did a nice dive outside the ring. Alfonso jumped Roberts after the bout. White is also a rookie and didn’t look bad. [**]
----Kid J/Brandon Barbwire beat Sarge O’Reilly/Lil Devil with Tony Watts. Crowd was into this bout at the front – it was midgets dammit!! Psychology was good at one point with the crowd into it and them waiting on for a hot tag, but it never happened. Bout turned into a total clustermuck with Sarge and Barbwire trying to save it. Kid J pinned Sarge after Sarge tripped over Watts in the ring. [*1/2]
----Jon “Biscuit” Roberts come out next for the “Biscuit-Lock Challenge” and said he would take the challenge from anyone. This was the cue for Chris Masters to come out. This could have not been better – funny stuff from Roberts. Perfect spot for him. He tried to put the full nelson on Masters and just didn’t work. Masters reversed and put it on Roberts and just slung him around. Good stuff.
----Kilo beat Tommy Redneck in Bullrope Match. This was disappointing as I was expecting more from these two guys. Both juiced quick from the bullrope bell and that was good. I hate seeing bouts like this with no blood. For some reason, and these guys are not the only ones at fault in doing this, but when workers have this big gimmick match, then they forget totally about psychology. You still have to work the crowd with the heel getting heat and hope spots and the whole nine yards. The finish was just anti-climatic, but I did like the final spot. As Kilo went for the last turnbuckle, Redneck attempted to stop him, but Kilo hit a superkick and fell into the turnbuckle for the win. [**]
----“Sons of the South” [Josh Matthews/Chris Styles] beat Sarge O’Reilly/Lil Bit with Tony Watts for the NBW Tag Team Titles. A real good match with the crowd was into it. They did double heat. Lil Bit was actually the star of the bout showing off a lot of fancy spots and nailing them every time. The only problem is – she was working as a babyface here and she was a heel. She even did a dive from the top turnbuckle to the floor onto Styles. Finish had Sarge try to use powder, but it backfired and he hit Lil Bit. She then kicked him in the nuts on mistake. SOS finished him off with their finisher [Styles doing a Russian Leg Sweep as Matthews hits them from the top turnbuckle with a dropkick]. [***]
----An angle before the main event had Motley Cruz/Mark Justice with Tony Watts in the ring with Chris Masters/Jeremy Moore/Big Red. Cruz offered Red $3,000 to join XOW. Red refused, but Masters then said, “As much as I like being the good guy” and accepted the invite and money to go to XOW. Kilo came down to the ring with his head and arm wrapped [yes he bladed his arm!!] to take Masters place in the 6-man tag.
----NBW vs XOW For Ownership of The Company: Jeremy Moore/Kilo/Big Red beat Chris Masters/Motley Cruz/Mark Justice. Good solid bout with great heat. Crowd was into it all the way to the end. Double heat with heat on Moore first. Moore took a nasty backbreaker from Masters and tagged out. He was then helped to the back for rest of the bout. Heat then on Kilo as Kilo had already been “hurt” so sympathy was already on him. Cruz and Justice both were really on here with Kilo [also on for this bout] bumping all over the place. Hot tag to Red with everyone bumping like crazy [including Masters]. It ends up with Masters putting the “Masterlock” on Kilo and Moore makes his way back to the ring. He slips in and nut shots Masters and Masters releases the hold with Moore rolling him up and Kilo on top of Moore helping with the pin. Big huge pop for the [***1/2]
NOTES
----Sarge is still so good on the mic…I love the idea that a gimmick that I was first involved with is still going, but man there are a lot of Justices here. LOL…Rob Justice has a real good look and has a wrestling voice. Does that make sense?? I did not get to see much in the battle royal, but it looks like he is going to be a decent worker…Does Tim Alfonzo really work here?? He flip flops from TLCW to here so many times that if I was the promoters he would just work as a job boy…Some of the backyardians and even some of you t-shirt wearing pros need to take a look at Barbwire. He is has a very unique look and comes off totally different than just your normal crew of wrestlers. This guy, if pushed against the right guy, could easily have good matches and be a main event singles guy for promotions in this area…Masters sold his Polaroids for only $5, which I thought was cheap. I am not sure how many he sold, but he was out there for about 30 minutes…Sarge made a horrible racial slur on the mike calling Jarvis a “damn n***er” – not cool. There are other ways of getting heat…I am not sure I really “got it” in the XOW vs NBW thing. The fans were into it huge chanting “NBW”, but what did XOW even have control of?? I really would have put them over here and did something for NBW to get control back in the future. The main reason XOW did not win here is that a lot of the major XOW guys have other shows in the next few weeks…After Moore won, the crowd all got in the ring and celebrated in a true “emotions” moment…Finish of main event with Kilo holding Moore down to help him get the win is going to lead into probably the next 6 weeks or so of a Moore vs Kilo feud. Kilo dropped out of the ring and left Moore celebrating with the fans at the end of the match. I look for Kilo to end up back tagging with Mark Justice…Lots of talk about Moore pinning Masters. I will have a full “Coach’s Corner” covering the subject later this week.

Somerville Police Chief Rushed To MED!!
----Anybody know who was running this show and who Feathers is??
Somerville Police Chief Kenny Feathers remained at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis today as doctors tried to determine what happened to him during a charity wrestling event over the weekend.
Feathers was participating as one of the wrestlers in the event Saturday evening at the town’s old high school when he suddenly was injured.
Feathers was being airlifted to The Med by helicopter when he went into full cardiac arrest, Somerville Mayor Bob Morris said. He was stabilized and proceeded to The Med.
“We’re not sure it was caused by the event,” Morris said. “He’s done it before for charity… he loves doing it.”
Somerville residents will hold a candlelight vigil for their injured chief this evening at the Pit Stop parking lot.
The wrestling event was to benefit Matt Kelley, a Somerville resident who was injured after being trapped under rubble when a tornado leveled his dorm at Union University in Jackson on Feb. 5.

Tony Givens' G1 teammates, Robbie Cassidy, Wayne Adkins and Nick Hammonds chased Logan off.
The Krazed One defeated Matt Stevens
The 501st (The Jin & The Super Jin) defeated National Heavyweight Champion, Robbie Cassidy & Thorn... After the match, Thorn's wife, Kandy revealed that she was pregnant. Upon hearing this news, Thorn went nuts and attacked Robbie Cassidy and his own pregnant wife... Thorn had to be escorted out of the building by security.
The Main Event of the evening was a 2 out of 3 falls Match between Brian Logan and Wayne Adkins with Tony Givens as the Special Guest referee... The 1st fall was for Logan's AWA World Heavyweight Title. The 2nd Fall was for Logan's CW Television Title and if the match went to a 3rd Fall then Logan's APEX Heavyweight Title from WV would be on the line.
Before the match, Tony Givens was told by AWA Official Clarence Clippenback that if he touched Brian Logan during this match then he would never get a match with Logan. Brian Logan won the 1st Fall to retain his AWA World Heavyweight Title by using his loaded boot on Adkins behind Givens' back. Wayne Adkins won the 2nd Falls out of no where with a Sunset Flip to become the CW Television Champion Logan hit the loaded boot on Adkins again during the 3rd Fall, but this time Givens caught him and refused to count...

Roberts was recently diagnosed with cancer and the proceeds from this event went to his family to help pay for medical bills…A return date for Greeneville will be announced next week…I love the pregnancy angle. It makes you wonder where they are going with it...I assume the APEX title stays with Logan, since Givens touched Logan. Good booking on the part of Givens NEVER getting a title shot. He not only has to chase the belt now, he has to chase a “chance” at the belt..."Shooting Star" champion?? Does that mean you have to be able to do the shooting star to even compete for the title?? LOL That would eliminate TONS of guys in this area.

RassleResults: RWA Jonesboro, AR 5.17.08 - Debut of Cody Murdock and New Gimmicks!!
Rottn Randy came out to start the show and told everyone that for a long time he had been rotten and done things he is not proud of. He apologized to Frank Martin and told him that he had his back if he ever needs him. Randy went on to explain that after the matches two weeks ago. Sergeant Shakedown had suffered a head injury and was not right, he had amnesia and did not remember anything. Out came Shakedown dressed in Khakis and a white shirt and bow tie and suspenders. And he said his name is Persiful Poindexter the 3rd, or PP3. The crowd loved every minute of it.
----“Southern Gangster” Big Al beat The Official…Silas beat Zane Richards…”Big Rig” Cody Murdock debuted winning a battle royal…Chris Steel beat PP3…Big Indian Quixote beat Zane Richards by DQ…”Natural Born Players” beat “The Leprechauns” [Lucky/Lethal].
Cannon came out and did a mic spill saying he was the newest manager in the area and has put together a group that cannot be beat. He introduced “Insane” Zane Richards as the enforcer of the group. Then the Natural Born Players as the tag team of the group. Chris Steel as the high flyer of the group. Then As a shock to everyone including RWA owner Martin he introduced Rick Burton. Martin went crazy because Rick Burton is the San Francisco Treat. SFT pointed out that the SFT signed the contract and as a character so that character will not be back but his real name is Rick Burton and he indeed will wrestle in the RWA. Martin will not let him wrestle until the lawyers for the RWA look into this matter. As to make a point at the end of the night during the last match Burtons group hit the ring and so did all the babys and Burtons group left everyone laid out and piled on top of each other. Burton’s group will be the top heel group here.
----125+ in the crowd. Frank Martin started the show be telling the crowd that the RWA custom made belt will be presented in a couple of weeks. It is going to be the RWA Heavyweight Championship belt. Not a world belt or regional belt it will be a company belt. Great idea!! Have one singles belt guys and one set of Tag champions. The belts might MEAN something then, instead of like a lot of companies that have a belt for everyone...Who are the "Natural Born Players"??

RassleResults: TIWF Trenton, TN 5.17.08 - New Tag Champs!!
The beginning of the show saw Jon Seymour and “Hotrod” Rodney Howard announcing the card for the night as usual. Wildside’s music starts and Wildside comes to the ring and starts talking about what a great day it is. He hands Jon a scripted card and makes him read it. Jon was reluctant to read it but Wildside kept roughing him up. It was a script talking about how great Wildside was and that today was his birthday. Ravishing Randy, Way Cool, Big Boy Bob, and a cameraman come to the ring with Birthday hats, balloons, gifts, etc.. They lit a small cake and Wildside was positioned between Hotrod and Jon making everyone sing Happy Birthday. The crowd was booing during the Birthday song.
Wildside then opened the gifts from his friends. Bob had a wrapped up half eaten Big Mac. Wildside’s response was confusion and the crowd laughed at Bob.Way Cool had a camera. Wildside was excited saying that he got a camera for his birthday. Way Cool responded, “ Not Quite, but that Wildside could be the 1st to take a picture with Way Cool on his new camera” This was even funnier and the crowd was into this. Bob then forced Jon to take the picture. Next was Randy. He gave Wildside the last present which ended up being an enormous Black Thong…( Wildside stretched it out and it was HUGE!!) The crowd was really into it at this point chanting “ Put it On”. Wildside obliged. And everyone started laughing.
Then Wildside turned his attention to Jon Seymour and Hotrod asking where was his gifts.Wildside assaulted Jon and took his tie and Bob took Hotrod’s wallet while Wildside got his money out of his pocket.This was an extremely funny bit and the crowd was into it. And it was very instrumental in setting up the finish in the Semi Main
Big Boy Bob def. Criss Braggs
This match was pretty much dominated by Bob. But, near the end Criss went for sunset flip off of the top again [same finish as last week], but Big Boy Bob kicked out at the 2.5 count. Randy slipped Bob some brass knuckles and Bob hit Criss Braggs while the ref was distracted. The shot busted Braggs open and he was bleeding profusely. Big Boy Bob then gave Braggs the Hershey highway and pinned him. Braggs made challenge to bob for “hardcore heaven” match next week.
X-3 beat Devon Day and Dre’ Black
This match was back and forth with both teams looking crisp. The match ending had X3 winning the match but they pinned the wrong guy and that set up for a rematch this week.
Dazzlin’ Dixie def. Spyder
Dixie won with the Samoan Drop.
TIWF TV Title Match
Vic McNasty def. Chico Mendoza to retain the title
Vic used his valet’s loaded purse and hit Chico and got the 1..2..3 and retained the TV Title.
TIWF Tag Team Title Match
Locked & Loaded ( T. Turner & Lawman Williams def. New Breed of Perfection ( Wildside & Waycool) to become the new tag team champions. The finish had Way Cool with a full nelson on Tank Turner and Ravishing Randy was going to throw powder into Tank’s eyes but missed and hit Way Cool. Simultaneously Lawman punched Wildside in the throat and hit Randy and knocked him out of the ring. Wildside stumbled over to Cool who was blinded with powder and Way Cool put his finisher “ The Breeze” (TKO) on Wildside. Way Cool got back to his feet only to receive a stunner from Lawman. Double pin. Lawman pinned Cool. Tank pinned Wildside. After the match Locked and Loaded went to the stage and took Wildside’s balloons and party hats and said Happy Birthday Wildside. Wildside was still motionless in the ring and the crowd began singing Happy Birthday to Wildside. This was spontaneous and very funny.
Perfection then regained composure and the crowd starting blaming Randy on the loss. Chanting “ He did it” pertaining to throwing the powder. A moment of turn perhaps as the Perfection stared down Randy. But, it was quickly dismissed when Cool blamed Hotrod. On his way back to the lockerroom Wildside threw a tirade and threw chairs in the ring and such as the fans chanted “Wildside Sucks. Way Cool Sucks!”
TIWF Regional Heavyweight Title Match
Danny B. Good def. Izzy Rotten by DQ
The Match began with Izzy introducing his valet for the night Diamond. Randy wasn’t visible at ringside. Danny. B. got quick spots early on but Izzy withstood the onslaught and wore Danny down. Diamond interfered on several occasions slapping Danny and such. The end of the match saw Danny climb to the top and hit the blockbuster on Izzy….. On the two count Ravishing Randy ran out of the back and attacked the ref getting Izzy DQ. Randy and Izzy took the title with them. Danny is still the champ.
J. Seymour set up match with Randy being barred from ringside.
----163 in the crowd…Who is the Diamond chick that came out with Izzy??...Who is X-3??...Good to see the crowd go up 50+ from last week. It will be interesting to see if they go back up to the 200+ mark…Rumors have “The Posse” [Lil Chris/Simon Reed] and Jason Reed on the way to TIWF.

Then Wildside turned his attention to Jon Seymour and Hotrod asking where was his gifts.Wildside assaulted Jon and took his tie and Bob took Hotrod’s wallet while Wildside got his money out of his pocket.This was an extremely funny bit and the crowd was into it. And it was very instrumental in setting up the finish in the Semi Main
Big Boy Bob def. Criss Braggs
This match was pretty much dominated by Bob. But, near the end Criss went for sunset flip off of the top again [same finish as last week], but Big Boy Bob kicked out at the 2.5 count. Randy slipped Bob some brass knuckles and Bob hit Criss Braggs while the ref was distracted. The shot busted Braggs open and he was bleeding profusely. Big Boy Bob then gave Braggs the Hershey highway and pinned him. Braggs made challenge to bob for “hardcore heaven” match next week.
X-3 beat Devon Day and Dre’ Black
This match was back and forth with both teams looking crisp. The match ending had X3 winning the match but they pinned the wrong guy and that set up for a rematch this week.

TIWF Tag Team Title Match
Locked & Loaded ( T. Turner & Lawman Williams def. New Breed of Perfection ( Wildside & Waycool) to become the new tag team champions. The finish had Way Cool with a full nelson on Tank Turner and Ravishing Randy was going to throw powder into Tank’s eyes but missed and hit Way Cool. Simultaneously Lawman punched Wildside in the throat and hit Randy and knocked him out of the ring. Wildside stumbled over to Cool who was blinded with powder and Way Cool put his finisher “ The Breeze” (TKO) on Wildside. Way Cool got back to his feet only to receive a stunner from Lawman. Double pin. Lawman pinned Cool. Tank pinned Wildside. After the match Locked and Loaded went to the stage and took Wildside’s balloons and party hats and said Happy Birthday Wildside. Wildside was still motionless in the ring and the crowd began singing Happy Birthday to Wildside. This was spontaneous and very funny.
Perfection then regained composure and the crowd starting blaming Randy on the loss. Chanting “ He did it” pertaining to throwing the powder. A moment of turn perhaps as the Perfection stared down Randy. But, it was quickly dismissed when Cool blamed Hotrod. On his way back to the lockerroom Wildside threw a tirade and threw chairs in the ring and such as the fans chanted “Wildside Sucks. Way Cool Sucks!”
TIWF Regional Heavyweight Title Match
Danny B. Good def. Izzy Rotten by DQ
The Match began with Izzy introducing his valet for the night Diamond. Randy wasn’t visible at ringside. Danny. B. got quick spots early on but Izzy withstood the onslaught and wore Danny down. Diamond interfered on several occasions slapping Danny and such. The end of the match saw Danny climb to the top and hit the blockbuster on Izzy….. On the two count Ravishing Randy ran out of the back and attacked the ref getting Izzy DQ. Randy and Izzy took the title with them. Danny is still the champ.
J. Seymour set up match with Randy being barred from ringside.
----163 in the crowd…Who is the Diamond chick that came out with Izzy??...Who is X-3??...Good to see the crowd go up 50+ from last week. It will be interesting to see if they go back up to the 200+ mark…Rumors have “The Posse” [Lil Chris/Simon Reed] and Jason Reed on the way to TIWF.

Black Label Society (Robbie Douglas,A.J. Bradley) d. Reggie B. Fine/Gaylon Ray
TLCW Tag Team Championship Match
Chris O'Neal/Drew Donovan d. Albino Rhino/Alex Krisis
“Naughty by Nature” (Rude,Pokerface) vs. Eric Wayne/Kid Nikels went to a time limit draw.
Dell Tucker/Cody Melton/”The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony d. Greg King/”Hot Topic” (Derrick King,Stan Lee)
Next week at “Mayhem”, The Cruiserweight Title will be decided in a gauntlet match.
Albino Rhino and Alex Krisis still have possession of the Heavyweight Title Belt they took from the Champion Flash Flanagan weeks ago. Commissioner Mark Tipton stated that one of them would face Flash at “Mayhem” for the Championship. To decide which of them would be in the match, if they win their Tag Title Match the one who makes the pin or submission faces Flash, but if they lose the one who does not get pinned or submit faces Flash. Krisis was the man pinned, so Albino Rhino will take on the TLCW Champion Flash Flanagan next week at Mayhem.
Once again Naughty by Nature and the team of Eric Wayne/Kid Nikels fought to a draw.
After the match, Naughty challenged Wayne and Nikels to get back in the ring and settle this here and now. Wayne and Nikels refused. Then, the Commissioner made a return match for next week's Mayhem card. In order to get a clear winner, the match will be a best two out of three falls match.
In a special edition of "The Golden Circle", The Golden Boy attempted to find out who
his opponent will be at Mayhem. Before Mark Tipton could answer, one of the referees
called him to back.
In the six man match for "Mayhem", it was already announced to be Tatt2 and the “Black Label Society” against “Hot Topic” and a mystery partner. The Commissioner decided to reveal Hot Topic's partner, and add a special stipulation to the match. Next week, TLCW will witness the return of Dustin "Five" Starr as he teams with Hot Topic in the six man main event of Mayhem. But this will be no ordinary match. Because of the wild brawls that have spilled out of the ring leading up to this match, these six men will face off in a barbed wire match.
----The attendance was 110-115…There will also be a dinner and live band before Mayhem gets underway. All of that is scheduled to begin at 5:30 P.M...Wasn't Dustin Starr a heel last time he was here?? Apparently, they put over the fact they needed someone that was a total heel to help them counter BLS. Starr also is the only winner of a barbed wire in TLCW.
