Re: Memphis Wrestling Another Rant

I think there are some of us out here who could book a better show than
what is on right now, I agree with the East Coast Badd boys, Motley, and
the mix with Reno Diamond, Tat2 Rud and Poker {not the clowns} Sarge and
Micky Ray, Chris Rocker unmasked....Sam Dollar and others would make
Memphis Wrestling Great...Hey gang if yo had your druthers...put
together a show, name your announcers, commissioner{CEO matchmaker}
whatever and a match...like a fantasy show. But use local talent....

Well, the saddest part of all is to see two guys who have busted there
butts for years here and having to act like clowns, when they are
probably two of the most talented guys in the area all along. HEck you
take them, Tasha, Motley, 187, and a few more Indy workers, and you
could always have a better show than Crappy Corey has every week. koko
is old and sad news now, like Dundee and Lawler. It's time for Memphis
to allow the newer and/or younger guys to have their time, black or
white

Hines,
Rashard, and Johnny Dotson {and this is a sad thing to say} but I feel
that the MW people feel that there are too many blacks on TV and that
is
why they did what they did to Poker and Rude {with a white face clown
gimmick}. Let's call it like we see it. I think that it is a bunch of
crap but just take a good look at it.

Tina,
I understand your MW pain. :o) It definitely is not as
good a show as what we all grew up with. I won't even
go where I think with the Clown storyline, excpet that
it is a little too goofy.

As for the MIC problems, I noticed that my Smackdown!
taping had the same problem. Actually it has the last
couple of weeks. Maybe it's a channel 30 thing. It was
kinda fun to watch COrey this week with his voice
sounding manly then like Minnie Mouse. Gave me
something to smile about... )yeah, I know- I'm weird..
was in a weird mood so I kept laughing- driving my son
nuts) :o)

As for Lawler and the pitch at the Indians game. I
guess it was on there bc everyone who has watched
Lawler long knows how much he loves the Indians and
the Browns. I guess it was to appeal to the Lawler
fans. I actually didn't mind seeing that. I thought it
was a great honor for him since it is his favorite
team. Would have been better for him if they would've
cut the tape before showing how terrible his pitch
was. I guess now we know why he is in wrestling and
not baseball. (however I figured his pitch would be
better since he had his softball team, Lawler's Army,
all those years)

Like I said, I can understand your "pain", and sense
it too at times. I know they could do better, but I am
a true MW fan and will keep watching (with help of
TiVo).
