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

Sal Cracks Me Up!!
----I just had to say something about this and repost it. LOL "The Big Cheese" Sal Corrente has really been at the top of his game the last few weeks. If he doesn't win RRO "Columnist of the Year" this year, then it will be a crime. I love the following bit...
I think it’s high time that Memphis Wrestling gives a title belt to Andy Taylor and the Junior Heavyweight title to Barney Fife. Then they can hand the tag team belts to Fred and Lamont Sanford. If they did that perhaps they can get some decent ratings. It appears the people in Memphis are much happier watching The Andy Griffith Show and Sanford and Son. Who can blame them? The people of Memphis don’t want to see a bunch of tapes from the Northeast and how many times can you rerun stuff people have seen over and over again? It is time to start producing new shows. If they don’t start soon I can’t imagine that they will be on the air very long.

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 9.06.08
----Jerry Lawler and Corey Maclin open the show. They promise footage from the Delta Fair.
----Delta Fair footage: Kid Kash/Kevin White with Sue Young & Garry White vs Koko Ware/Eugene. Eugene hit a “Baba chop” on White. LOL Then he went after him with the claw!! Lots of comedy in the front of the bout. Heat on Koko. Koko did a “big move” for a hope spot. LOL Time limit draw. White/Kash come back out for 5 more minutes. White got hit by mistake by Kash with Eugene pinning Kash. Nothing special.
----“Wrestling Professor” segment. 3.19.82 was the date. 26 years ago. Bill Dundee/Jerry Calhoun vs Adrian Street/Jimmy Cornette/Miss Linda. Randy Hales was the ring announcer and Paul Morton was the ref. Hales does play by play also. Crowd was so hot for this match. Dundee and Street both looked a bit stiff here. Heat on Calhoun. Calhoun tried the hot tag, but got cut off. Everyone gets in the ring. Dundee is tied to the bottom rope by Cornette. Babys win by DQ. Eddie Marlin came out to untie Dundee. Dundee goes after everyone. Apocalypse finally comes in to help heels. Terry Taylor finally makes save.
----Memphis Wrestling coming to Byhalia Middle School on 9.20.08 with Koko Ware, Humongous, Corey Maclin [yes it said that], Brian Christopher and more.
----Delta Fair footage. Lawler vs Buff Bagwell. Typical Lawler bout. Great psychology. Bagwell gets the heat. Double down followed by Buff jumping from the second rope and Lawler catching him with a boot. Strap comes down. Boom Boom Boom. Bagwell cut him off with a kick and goes to pin him. Lawler has his foot on the rope, but Bagwell thinks he won – Lawler roles him up for the win.
----Delta Fair footage: Pokerface with Rashard Devon vs Mucho Dinero Match in progress with Poker getting heat on Dinero. Dinero comes out of the heat when Poker misses a shoulder flying into the ringpost. Dinero hits a sweet flying sidekick. Dunero jumps from the second rope and Poker hits him with an enzuguri in the air [Ghetto Blaster!!!]. Poker goes to the top rope and does a flying headbutt. Dinero’s valet gets on the apron [he is a baby; right] and then when Poker turns around Dinero hits him with a huracanrana followed by the pin for the win. Best bout they have aired so far on TV. After the bout, two girls [very hot] got in the ring and pulled money from their dress tops.
----Maclin/Lawler finished the show talking about www.JerryLawler.com and what was coming up next week. It will go back to featuring stuff from New England.
NOTES
----It really did look like A LOT of people were around the ring for the matches…I would have loved to have seen Kash or White actually wrestle – hold for hold – with Dinsmore…Maclin was bumbling and laughing about Calhoun wrestling, but Jerry actually dressed like a wrestler and did not embarrass himself…Who was under the hood as Apocalypse??...Take a look at that “Wrestling Professor” segment – the talent just in the match!! You should never wonder why I think Memphis Wrestling is dead after seeing all that talent…Dinero is area worker Tatt2 working under a hood and new gimmick. I do know that Tatt2 is a big Rey Mysterio mark, so it is probably sort of tribute to him. Mucho Dinero means Much Money and he had the two valets with money get in the ring after match. Also shouldn’t he have money signs on his suit?? Gear looked good…This has to be my favorite show so far, because it featured some original new material...Join us at www.rasslinriotonline.com on Tuesday as we post the full show, so visitors can vote in the Memphis Wrestling TV Poll.

Foley in TNA Last Night!!
----I have always been a big Mick Foley mark..but his going to TNA has not excited me a bit. This video is fun though and guess if they give Foley a mic and let him say what he wants, it might be worth watching TNA just for that.
A Piece of my Mind Sept 6th 2008 by "The Big Cheese" Sal Corrente
This week we lost another legend who was also a WWE Hall of Famer Killer Kowalski. I had the opportunity to meet Killer Kowalski one time, I believe somewhere in New England. I cannot say that I really ever interacted with him or really even understood his legacy. The most that I really knew about him was that, shortly before I got involved in wrestling, was that Killer and Big John Studd were The Executioners. They were WWWF Tag Team Champions managed by the most hated WWWF and WWF manager of all time Capt. Lou Albano. It wasn’t until recently when the news of Killer’s condition reached me that I asked Bruno Sammartino to tell me what Killer Kowalski meant to the wrestling business. We also talked about Bruno’s matches with Killer Kowalski. It was then that I finally understood the impact of this man on our business. How many pro wrestlers, especially from the golden era of wrestling, do you hear mentioned on ESPN when they pass away? It isn’t many and, from what I understand in the case of Walter “Killer” Kowalski, it was well earned.
Injuries in pro wrestling right now seem to be at an epidemic proportion. The amount of talent that really seems to be capable of stepping up and being an A+ performer is perhaps at its worst. There has to be something to it. I do realize styles are much different today, but it isn’t just aerial stars that are injured. In the old days guys worked a much tougher style. Find me the wrestler out there today with cauliflower ears. In a time where top shelf money generating wrestlers are scarcer than hen’s teeth keeping guys healthy has to be a TOP priority. I am sure that lifestyle decisions play into these injuries in many cases. When is something intelligent going to be done to extend careers and stop interrupting the programs that should be driving the company.
There are people that will step up and come to the forefront. They will help the company the best that they can within the limitations of what they have to offer. I do not believe we are going to find the next "big thing" with among any on the current roster. They say that Vince McMahon is best under pressure and that being boxed into a corner really helps motivate him. I got news for you Vince go get some talent!You are under pressure. You are boxed in a corner. Stop spending so much time yelling into headsets ... do your job. The broadcasters you have do not need you hounding them to death during broadcasts. If you don’t like the job they are doing then go back to doing it yourself. I don’t think you could find one person to believe that Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, Mick Foley or anyone else needs Vince in their ear. If he has some points that he wants covered that is his prerogative. Those points should be discussed at a pre-production meeting. I do realize things can change on the fly occasionally. It’s not like anything in that company is spontaneous. If there is the occasional situation that comes up someone can relay that information to the announcer. The behavior we are hearing about from Vince McMahon is ridiculous. He made TNA a better company and WWE a weaker company with his latest raving.
The latest news that comes out of Florida Championship Wrestling is that their TV taping drew about fifty people. The first few events did turn away business which was still not a big number but at least it was turn away business. The current results tell me that the so called "stars of tomorrow" are not many. I have been hearing good reports about one or two of the guys down there. I believe they will be called up soon. But after that what happens to the other seventy guys and girls?
The first thing to remember is that in most businesses today branding is essential. The WWE brand is recognized as the symbol of excellence in our business. So why not call the territory WWE Florida? That would make much more sense. The Florida Championship brand for many years meant something in the Sunshine State. I remember watching it in NY on Channel 47 the Spanish station. We used to get it every week. I loved watching Dusty Rhodes, Mister Florida, the Funks, the Brisco’s, Blackjack Mulligan, Barry Windham, Mike Graham and Sir Oliver Humperdink. The glory days of Florida Championship Wrestling cannot be revived by a bunch of kids that no one knows. The whole business model makes no sense at all. The people running the school I have no issue with. Dusty Rhodes is one of the best promo guys ever. T only difference is that Dusty’s abilities were intrinsic ... it was natural. The other guys Steve Keirn has drawn money before and understands how it’s done. Then you have guys like Dr. Tom Prichard, Bill Kidman and the newest addition Norman Smiley. It isn’t the teachers that are the problem.
I am a firm believer that Babe Ruth could line up one hundred guys and tell them all his home run hitting secrets. At the end of the lesson more than likely not one of those guys is going to be able to hit many more home runs than they could before the Babe spoke. It’s the same thing down at FCW. If these guys don’t have it the great teachers at FCW won’t make a huge difference. It’s been said for years and years that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. I never thought that Vince McMahon would be the guy to prove it to the world.
I want to wish my buddy Mick Foley the best of luck on his future endeavors especially since I understand WWE failed to do that. The reason that Mick left WWE is almost as pathetic as the multitude of reasons that you hear Verne Gagne lost Hulk Hogan to Vince McMahon. It is really a shame that this business isn’t run with more brains than ego and arrogance. The good news is that Mick has always been good with money. It’s a great thing when someone doesn’t have to trade their pride in to feed their family.
I think it’s high time that Memphis Wrestling gives a title belt to Andy Taylor and the Junior Heavyweight title to Barney Fife. Then they can hand the tag team belts to Fred and Lamont Sanford. If they did that perhaps they can get some decent ratings. It appears the people in Memphis are much happier watching The Andy Griffith Show and Sanford and Son. Who can blame them? The people of Memphis don’t want to see a bunch of tapes from the Northeast and how many times can you rerun stuff people have seen over and over again? It is time to start producing new shows. If they don’t start soon I can’t imagine that they will be on the air very long.
This photo was taken on one of the occasions that I asked my friend Bruno Sammartino to come down and guest referee a match. If my longtime rival “Gorgeous” Gary Royal was on the card I normally ended up wrestling him whether in a tag match with one of the Samoans or in a single match. I am sure Gary was thrilled as we all were when we first got a chance to take a photo with wrestling’s living legend.
This has been a piece of my mind

----I wrote about these ratings earlier this week, but this was – all time low. As I have pointed out in the past, Jerry Lawler does not mean ratings. The show was turned off before his match ever aired. This group had a huge amount of people watching their live show at the Delta Fair, so it will be interesting if it translates to more people watching the TV show.

----Even though the ratings are bad, the hardcore crowd this is watching this show seems to like it with a 4-0 Thumbs Up so far. Honestly I think some may just feel sorry for them. LOL The winning margin was the highest. We also had a normal numbers of voters, so what that is telling me is that around 25% of the people watching the show are watching here online.

Wildside Responds...
----I posted part of a blog post this week from area worker Maxx Corbin and said I would give anyone else a chance to respond. TIWF worker Wildside post the following on the Kayfabe Board.
Wildside’s first ever Blog!!!!
These statements I have made are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect those of the TIWF, it’s staff, fans or members.
Where has the days of New Breed gone?
Seems like a lifetime ago… but I can still recall the names. Preacherman, Small Money Change, Daddy Big Bucks, Mysterio, Solomon Grungee, Weezer Lobo, Savage Dragon, Mighty Bearcat, El Borricua, Mexican Commander just to name a few. It was a unique time back in those days. A wrestling federation where no one had egos, everyone chipped in for the better of the show. No one took pay; instead they invested it back into the federation that they loved. There wasn’t bickering in the back. No one cared if they won or loss. No one cared if the held the belt or not. No one cared if they had to open the show or not. It was ok if they had to wrestle more than once. It was ok if they didn’t get to wrestle at all. It was ok if you missed a spot in the ring. It was ok if you missed your cue. It was ok if they played the wrong music for you… heck you still came out.
In reality everyone was the booker. Everyone had input because no one idea is EVER perfect. It was a non-tense easy going locker-room. Everyone cleaned up after the show. Everyone was on the ring crew and street team. We had fun.
It wasn’t about us. It was about “ THE SHOW”. It was about putting on a great show for great fans.
I always contort back to the “New Breed Mentality” as I call it, quite often. I find almost all workers today do not have that mentality. I am always searching, but I know it is in vain. So…. What is the New Breed Mentality?
Well in simple terms it’s putting the promotion first. It’s being dedicated to the fans to ensure they receive a great show. It’s giving your best, but understanding that no one is perfect. It’s a loyalty and respect among your wrestling buddies. It’s a respect for the fans. So, where have those New Breed days gone?
EGOS:The first problem that I see are egos. I have personally called individuals out on it when I see it. Especially in the guys I think that are better than that and yes you know who you are.
I have seen talent recently that got upset because they didn’t win the tag team belts when they were suppose too. I mean c’mon get real… are you serious? I have had people want to walk out of a show because they were booked first match. And I watched them leave.
I’ve seen worker get upset that they only got $9 instead of $10. I’ve seen workers get upset that the federation doesn’t want to feed all 19 members of their immediate family for free! I’ve seen workers that sweet talk the booker so that they don’t have to lose. I’ve seen people leave promotions without dropping the belts because they don’t want to lose. I’ve seen people get upset if angles didn’t work out quite right because of miscommunication or what have you. I’ve seen people wait until there music was played, even though they didn’t bother to make it easy on the guy doing sound and hand it to him with their name on it before the show. Oh yeah what about just showing up to the show on time? Everyone knows people in their federation that has the egos, wouldn’t it be much better without them in the promotion at all?
It’s not about winning or losing you morons. It’s not real. Get over it. Who cares if you win a belt… EVER????
Non Egos:On The flip side of this….It takes a big person to stand up and say they are not the best when everyone around them claims to be. I can admire Tim Edwards for doing just that. On many occasions he has stated that he knows that he is not the best and has gotten jeered for being honest. I was amazed at the lack of respect that the average joe blow wrestler gives these days. Ok maybe Tim doesn’t deserve your respect. Ok I’m fine with that…. IF not then why? He does his very best and gives it his all for the crowd. He knows he isn’t in the best shape or has all the moves or knows all there is to know. But, he does care about the show and the business. Now granted, I’m not with him every weekend, and maybe he’s not like he seems on the net or the few times I’ve been around him. But, irregardless, until he shows me different, Tim you do have some peoples respect.
