For a list of TNA wrestlers with accounts go to TNA's website. There
they have a link for a TNA myspace page and on that page they have the
official list.

I think someone already said that Gregory Helms has a list of WWE guys
on his.

For anyone interested my page is myspace.com/millertimerebel

Some of the real TNA guys will sometimes post bulletins to let fans know which
are the
fake TNA guys -- for instance, there are a couple of fake AJ Styles on there, &
the real one
is not.

KENTUCKY FRIED RASSLIN'

By Scott Bowden


2006-03-23 - Monday Night Rasslin': Travis Scott Bowden looks at the WWE's
return to Memphis

Jerry "the King" Lawler and professional wrestling once again basked in the
spotlight of my hometown this week-and on a Monday night no less. The new FedEx
Forum, located directly off tourist-friendly Beale Street in Memphis replaced
the gritty-and often dirty-Mid-South Coliseum as the venue of choice. While I
don't recall fans at the Coliseum looking this affluent-especially by the time I
was a performer in 1994-the heated reaction WWE performers received during
Monday's televised RAW broadcast proved that Memphis is still a wrestling town.
(Actually, Corey Maclin's MEMPHIS CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING ratings have been
impressive of late-nowhere near Jarrett Promotions back in its heyday back in
the early '80s, but impressive.)

Although Lawler's quips are not quite as sharp as they used to, it's nice to see
the King still involved as part of a big wrestling event in Memphis. Oddly
enough, as much as I dislike the three-man announcing team, I think Lawler's
been better since the departure of Jim Ross-or maybe it just seems that way
since Coach is often terrible and predictable. (I'll give Coach a little credit:
He's getting better since working with Lawler. When Lita suggested that Foley
and Edge have a wrestling match as opposed to a hardcore match at WRESTLEMANIA,
Coach earnestly blurted out, "That makes a lot of sense." Not too shabby.)
Still, a major wrestling show in Memphis still doesn't look right without Lance
Russell calling the action.

The Lawler boys were on hand as well, as Kevin Christian Lawler was booked to
appear as one of the McMahons' security guards, but they felt he was too small
for the role. A shame, too, as Kevin would have taken some fantastic bumps when
HBK and John Cena were cleaning house at the end. I suppose Kevin forgot to pack
the bodysuit made famous during his hooded Yellowjacket run. For those who have
never seen the suit, think Robin Williams in Robert Altman's POPEYE. (I cannot
confirm reports that Kevin sold the suit to Shane McMahon.) Brian Christopher
Lawler showed up backstage as an invited guest of Viscera-and contrary to some
Internet reports of Brian's rep, most of the boys were reportedly glad to see
him. Upon hearing that Brian was spotted backstage, Jerry Lawler joked, "Yeah,
and I heard he's already been hired and fired twice tonight."

Because the broadcast aired live from Memphis, I was less likely to TiVo past
some of the show, and I enjoyed it for the most part. Granted, I couldn't help
but cringe when the show once again kicked off with a lengthy McMahon promo, but
the band wasn't a bad touch (never mind the fact that Memphis is far better
known for the blues and rock 'n' roll than jazz).


WWE still hasn't convinced me that John Cena vs. Triple H is worthy of
WRESTLEMANIA main-event status-in part because the title match is being
overshadowed by the McMahons/HBK drama. That and the fact that it appears to be
a lock that Cena will be dropping the spinning piece of bling to Trips. (Typing
that made me long for the days of "the 10 pounds of gold.")

At least WWE has portrayed Cena in a more aggressive light of late, but it's
getting comical the way he and HHH can't seem to even hook up before their
scheduled match. Yes, keep them apart, but quit booking them in tag matches. I'm
also not a big fan of the way they are promoting the WRESTLEMANIA match-up as
their first-ever meeting, as the two have worked together several times at house
shows. Cena came off well here, as Memphis fans dig the hip-hop gimmick. Hell,
some area fans loved PG-13, so Cena is definitely an upgrade in their eyes. (If
there wasn't a sign in the Memphis crowd that read "JC Ice just called from
jail-he wants his gimmick back," then, well, there really should have been.) The
McMahons are just fine in their on-air roles-I only wish we didn't have to see
so much of them. Shane's reaction to Vince's impromptu matchmaking was
wonderful, and the camera caught it perfectly.


Chris Masters and Carlito appear ready to upset Big Show and Kane for the tag
straps-which I guess explains why one half of the challengers was squashed just
weeks before the match. Hard to believe it was nearly 15 years ago to the day
when I refereed Kane's first wrestling match in a small town in Arkansas. That
night Glen Jacobs wrestled as the Christmas Creature, wresting under a hood and
wearing a green and red-and-white-striped body suit with ornaments and
candycanes attached to it. (Kevin Lawler helped design the suit, but didn't need
to affix any foam padding, as young Jacobs was already a monster physically. He
and the King sleepwalked through a typical small-town Lawler match: the Memphis
native bumped for the Creature's clumsy power moves, heel manager Bert Prentice
interfered constantly behind my back, and Lawler finally made his comeback.
After Lawler pulled down the strap on his singlet, and the fists were flying, I
positioned myself for a ref bump I'd seen hundreds of times as a fan (and that's
possibly only a slight exaggeration). Lawler grabbed the Creature for a headlock
but before the King could connect with further punches, Santa's least favorite
wrestler threw Lawler into me, rendering me unconscious. In a Christmas miracle,
Prentice's interference backfired and I recovered just in time to count three as
Lawler schoolboyed the Creature. God bless us.everyone. (For the record, it's
true that every time a bell rings, an angel get its wings. What's not as well
known is that every time a bell sounds at ringside, an angel gets set on fire.)
But once again.I digress.

Mick Foley, who likened his '88-'89 stint working for Jerry Jarrett and Lawler
to serving in the U.S. Marines, gave the best RAW promo in years on Monday-a
perfect example of what some of the boys are capable of if they dared venture
from their carefully worded scripts. If the Edge/Foley match at 'MANIA is to
mean anything, Foley had to make this interview count, and he did in a big way.
Mike Coughlin wrote on Dave Meltzer's site early in the week that the Foley/Edge
feud was missing something: I believe Foley's promo was it. Memphis fans popped
for Foley abusing Lita to bait Edge, much like they did decades earlier when
Lawler belted and then later piledrove Rick Rude's valet Angel. (What.no chants
of "Mr.Sock-Hooooo"?) I'd much rather prefer Edge in that lead heel role as
champ heading into 'MANIA; however, I think a hot bout with Foley will help him
regain some of the steam he lost after dropping the belt back to Cena. I think
these two will deliver in Chicago.




At the risk of sounding unlike a red-blooded, rednecked-Memphian, the Diva skits
and matches usually bore me to no end. But Mickie James has got it-charisma,
in-ring talent and what appears to be a least a basic understanding of wrestling
psychology. The blood-stained kiss was great stuff.


Guys not only love Trish, but they also empathize with Trish's plight, as most
have had some desperate girl freak out when you tell them you just want to be
friends. (I've certainly had my share in the past.) It's the most entertaining
Divas feud the company's had in years. On the other manicured hand, the Torrie
Wilson/Candice feud is everything that's wrong with the Divas division: two
beautiful women with zero personality who are barely passable performers in the
ring. Still, the two PLAYBOY covergirls give the company exposure to its target
market, so at least it makes sense booking them to work together at
WRESTLEMANIA.

If Jarrett and Lawler had been booking the tag match finale, Triple H would have
attacked Cena before the bell and pedigreed him on the ramp, drawing first
blood. Later, with a blood-stained white gauze bandage wrapped around his head,
Cena would admirably charge the ring and get his hands on everyone but Triple H.
But this is WWE, so instead of that scenario, which would have added more heat
to the WRESTLEMANIA main event, McMahon instead again displays how powerful he
is by intimidating Cena to go to the back, leaving Michaels in a handicap match.
Instead of a hot crowd fired up and anticipating Cena's return, the audience was
flat most of the way, most likely because it came off more like McMahon cheated
them out the promised main event-this was negative heat that company doesn't
need heading into its biggest show. But at least they. kept Cena and Triple H
apart, and I liked the security guards bumping everywhere.


I'll say this for Vince the performer: He's pretty damn funny most of the time.
Vince's challenge to Cena was a good way to close the program and should make
for an intriguing show right before WRESTLEMANIA.

(I know I'm going to catch some heat for this, but.the tag-team countdown will
continue next week. Settle down, marks.)

Last November the Food Network brought chefs to Memphis to craft birthday
cakes in honor of The King.
You know it's not easy out here for Memphis when it's trying to get more
tourists to discover everything the city has to offer. And how do you
percolate into the consciousness of the creative class? How do you persuade
a startup biotech firm to start up here?
It's not every day that something comes along to help the city stand out
among all those other places in the world that are trying to stand out.
Which is why, for all its gritty realism, the Memphis film "Hustle & Flow"
was warmly embraced by just about anyone with an interest in promoting
Memphis.
They might have had to force a smile through the story about a misogynistic
Memphis pimp who dreams of becoming a successful rap artist. They might have
had to pretend to know all about crunk subculture when they weren't quite
sure what that meant.
But the recognition was certainly worth it, however short-lived it might
have been.
"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp," the first hip-hop song ever performed at
the Oscars and the song that followed the story line of "Hustle & Flow" so
eloquently its writers won an Academy Award, isn't the first Memphis product
to bring international attention to the city and help formulate its image
with not-so-flattering imagery.
From the yellow fever epidemics through the widely condemned machine
politics of 'Boss' Crump, a baby adoption scandal, notoriously prudish movie
censorship and Elvis Presley, whose sexually charged rock and roll
performances were more controversial than a lot of young people realize, the
city has had to ride an image formed by fear, in some cases, and, in some
cases, by loathing.
The 1968 sanitation workers strike and the assassination of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. formed the image of Memphis that my peers and I developed as
we grew up in the 1960s and heard about the place only from a distance. We
adored the recording work that was being done at Stax and Hi, too, but
didn't think much about where the music was being made.
And there was Elvis. Love him or hate him, he helped make Memphis a rock and
roll hotbed, which has helped reinforce the international opinion that music
is Memphis' reason for being. Three 6 Mafia, one of the groups whose success
made a movie like "Hustle & Flow" possible, is part of a long tradition.
Of course, there's Memphis and its barbecue, its basketball, its pro
wrestling, cotton, even hardwood flooring. There are people who come to
Memphis to play contract bridge.
But "Music. That's the story," said Regina Bearden, vice president of
marketing at the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau. "It's Elvis. It's
blues. It's R&B. It's soul. Music put Memphis on the map. I don't think the
musicians and promoters and people in the industry knew at the time they
were doing that, or thought about what it was going to do for Memphis."
But it happened, and nothing about Memphis can top its musical heritage. "If
you're in Europe, and you say 'Memphis,' it's a very sexy sale," Bearden
said. "The good news is we can actually deliver on what their image is."
It's difficult for Memphians to comprehend how much cachet the name carries
in Europe. "For someone like me who grew up in East Africa listening to . .
. AM radio and Top 40," said Francesco (Frank) de Leonardis, who teaches
English at a private school in Italy, "Memphis meant Stax and the sound of
Booker T & the MGs, Hi Records and their rhythm section, the Box Tops and
American Studios."
Graziano Uliani, founder of the Poretta Soul Festival in Italy, which will
rock through its 19th edition for four days in July, learned English
listening to Stax recordings and refers to the city as "the roots of all
modern sound."
From the European perspective, said former Memphian James Enck, a telecom
analyst in London, typical responses to the name Memphis include Elvis,
"either reverent or derisory," and other artists from Sun and Stax -- "I
have met some people with an encyclopedic knowledge of both."
American Southerners traveling in Great Britain can even make that mistake,
said Jaan van Valkenburgh, a former reporter for The Commercial Appeal now
working in London.
But among her co-workers, the city is associated with the Memphis Belle, the
World War II bomber now being restored in an airport hangar in Ohio, the
Marc Cohn hit "Walking in Memphis," Paul Simon's "Graceland," "Elvis, blue
suede shoes, walkin' and heat."
On the Internet, the city can evoke images of darkness and fear.
Conspiracy-minded bloggers are still protesting the conviction of the "West
Memphis Three" -- arrested in the murders of three young boys in 1993 and,
according to a popular con-theory, railroaded by a justice system fueled by
paranoia over the suspects' alleged involvement in Satanic worship.
The Internet also produced brief but sensational interest in Memphis last
year when 16-year-old "Zach" visited the blogosphere with the story about
his parents' efforts to "repair" his sexual orientation at a controversial
residential program run by the Christian organization Love in Action.
No question, the city takes its hits in occasional news media city rankings
that list it as one of the unhealthiest cities in the country or the least
friendly to bicyclists.
The city's most positive feature may be St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital.
It's hard to label either positive or negative the city's legendary
encounter with Andy Kaufman, the comedian whose surreal 1982 confrontations
with Jerry Lawler in the ring and on television helped solidify Memphis'
image as a professional wrestling mecca.
FedEx was the most recognizable brand associated with Memphis among members
of a Chinese embassy delegation that visited Tennessee recently to discuss
trade, according to Mark Drury, assistant commissioner for communications
with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
"Obviously, when you say FedEx people know what you're talking about," Drury
said. "There's also barbecue, Elvis, blues, R&B -- cultural icons from the
Memphis area we can effectively use to market the entire state."
Invited to find a word or phrase to fill in the blank in the word pair
"Memphis and ______," some readers of The Commercial Appeal responded with
topical associations such as the city's disappearing forest, taxes and
crime. While some pair the city with governmental malfeasance, others see
magnanimity. One person's racial division is another's diversity.
Not to get too sentimental about it, but Memphis gets occasional props for
its people, too -- its party-loving, independent, slightly quirky, artsy,
funky, irreverent types, as well as its traditionally hospitable
Southerners, who do so much love their traditions.
New Orleans guitarist Dan Cooper had been to Memphis before Hurricane
Katrina, but when he came back as a storm refugee last fall the city's
reputation as a hospitable place held up well.
"I felt at home there right away," he said. "Without romanticizing, Memphis
has a soul. When you walk through her streets, you're aware that the place
has a character and identity that subsist through ephemeral changes."
Before we burst into tears, though, we have to remember that there are
hustlers and prostitutes here, too. The movies say so.
Of course, in the movies they've all got hearts of gold, so it's all good.

He is a legend in every sense of the word. He held the AWA Title for mnnay years
and was synonymous with the word Champion. He also is a major part of the
Cauliflower Alley club. This week we will talk about wrestling from his early

It will be great to hear his views on today and yesterday.

Mercedes Martinez
Women's wrestling has come a long way since its inception. This woman is not
afraid to get in there and mix it up with anyone. She is one of the toughest
women working today and easy on the eyes. this week we will see what makes her
tick and what drives her to be all she can be.

Does anyone tape Memphis Wrestling weekly on DVD or even VHS? I'm
interested in finding a provider for Memphis Wrestling, hopefully on
DVD as I currently have to resort to getting it from someone who
records it off the Wrestling Channel in the UK which is silly if you
think about it... any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on there, & yes, there are an awful lot of people on there claiming to be
something
they're not.

The real Gregory Helms' (former Hurricane) is on MySpace at

  http://www.myspace.com/gshelms

and he has a list on his page of all the real WWE people.  The real Hulk Hogan
is NOT on
there.

There are a lot of real TNA people on there, too, but I don't know of anyone who
has a list
of all of them posted.  And of course there are a lot of real indy wrestlers on
there.  If
there's anyone else you want to know about, post it & I'll help you if I can,
but sometimes
it can be really hard to tell which ones are real.   ;o)

Do any of you guys ever get on Myspace.com?
I just signed up this week.

It is kind of neat but kind of stupid at the same time.
There are about 50 different people on there claiming to be Hulk Hogan!

Just to let everyone know my show is on hiatus for the time being. If
you like the show please go to www.radiofreenashville.org drop them an
email letting them know you want the show to stay on the air this will
get us back on faster. When we come back Chris Harris, Sabu, and Jimmy
Hart have agreed to call in and Jerry Lynn will be in the studio with
me.  Thank you

I liked to see Dustin in the WWE, just as long as they didn't give
him a lame gimmick. He's defintley not getting a push in MW, don't
know if it's to send him up to the WWE or MW doesn't know what to do
with him. I was totally cool to see the Memphis guys as Vince's
Security.

I don't know if the 15th show is going to be another Clash, Cory said
that details for the next Clash would be coming out soon, so it might
be or it might not. Of course after the Jimmy Hart video interview
Cory said Jimmy was going on about the Clash but Jimmy had actually
been talking about the Legends PPV.

I saw. That was awesome. Made my RAW. Wathced them
more than once. (man, I love TiVo) Dustin Starr has
actually been doing security for RAW and SMackdown the
last few weeks.. ALan Steel too.. Remember when
Lashley flipped the car over on FInley? Dustin was one
of the security who was trying to puss the car back
over.

The ones you didn't mention were Alex Crisis (wrestled
on MW a few weeks ago- think he's done a lot with LAW)
and Chris O'Neil (1/2 of picture perfect).

I have a question- something I have been wondering...
I have noticed that Dustin is not getting a push by MW
and loses ALL the time. Does anyone think that maybe
Lawler is getting him a shot in WWE and that he is
just working more on his skills until they have an
opening for him? Just curious since he has been doing
RAW security even before the Memphis show.

What do you all think?

                   Finally, graffiti artists have a career path.  Just imagine
going from renegade street art like nailing spray cans to telephone poles  to
being a featured artist for Juxtapoz and doing pictorials for Hustler Magazine. 
Well, it's possible, and street artist Buff Monster is here to tell us about how
he works his pink-tinged magic on walls, galleries, and the human body. He's
decorating our studio with a pink and gray and white awesome painting while the
show goes on. "Your set wasn't pink enough." Mr. Monster told us. "Good things
come in pink: Peeps, girls, ice cream."

                   Thanks, Buff Monster. You rule.

                   South by Southwest
                   Posted by sjohnson - 4:11 PM Tuesday, March 21, 2006


                   For a couple of weeks every March, Austin, Texas becomes the
hippest city in the known universe, as the South By Southwest Festival  descends
on this sleepy little Central Texas town and transforms it to one of the best
showcases for known and unknown bands from all over the world.  We were there,
and so was Belle and Sebastian,  Morrissey  , Neil Young  and unknowns with
great names like You Say Party! We Say Die!  and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

                   DVDuesday
                   Posted by sjohnson - 4:19 PM Tuesday, March 21, 2006
                   Chris Gore, indie-film -genius, Film Threat Webmaster,
coauthor of  The Complete DVD Book and stone-cold killa is back with his weekly
delve into digital digression called DVDuesday. His DVD picks this week: Capote,
Good Night and Good Luck and Batman Beyond.

                   Capote
                   Chris says: "The DVD has some good stuff on it. Two commentary
tracks, from Philip Hoffman and the director. But it's not a film I need to have
in my collection."
                   The Verdict: Rent

                   Good Night and Good Luck
                   Chris says: This is a TV movie with big actors in it. I could
see this on HBO. There's good stuff on it, but it's a..."
                   The Verdict: Rent

                   Batman Beyond
                   Chris Says: Extras include commentary on some episodes.
There's a little behind the scenes footage, but it's not enough for me to want
to buy it."
                   The Verdict: Rent

                   Chris will be rockin' our forums later, so check it out.

                   Perplex City
                   Posted by smoschella - 4:40 PM Tuesday, March 21, 2006
                   Perplex City is, by far, one of the coolest, most accessible,
most profitable ($200,000!) and fun ARGs that we've yet seen. It looks
deceptively easy: Buy some cards, solve the puzzles on them, visit the Perplex
City website and enter the correct answer. Boost your score, piece together the
map puzzle on the card backs and try to figure out where the hell that money's
hidden. Sure, you get some decent Perplex City goodies for passing score
milestones, but everyone's really after the big prize.





                   Here's the catch: these puzzles are addictive. Once you start
solving these damn things, they get under your skin. Pretty soon you're carrying
the ones you're having trouble with around with you - you're asking strangers
for help.



                   Help us solve this one in the
                   comments and we'll be forever grateful.


                   The puzzles are really well-designed and if you have some
patience, you'll probably be able to figure out many of the solutions without
even using Google. We're admitting right now that we've used Google and it
rarely (if ever) helped. Not only that, but each card is a bonafide work of art
created by some of the UK's top illustrators and graphic designers.

                   The story's much bigger than the cards. There's numerous sites
in the Perplex City universe that you'll need to explore in order to figure out
just where the Receda Cube (the money!) is at. Get started at perplexcity.com.

                   So what do you need to play? Buy yourself a pack of cards.
Once you start, you'll soon be hitting eBay to buy boxes of these things to feed
your puzzle addiction. Don't say I didn't warn you.

                   Get the cards!
