    Ronnie Lottz just made the mainstream news last week. He's the restaurateur in Chicago who refuses to get rid of the two way mirror in the lady's john. Frankly, he always looked like a low-level heroin dealer so him being as sleazy as he always appeared seems right.

    Gilbert is sitting in Lawler's dining room there

    Some of this stuff Hart was saying really seemed to strike a nerve with the King. I wont get into this whole spiel again (look at the Dr. Lawler post in 1990) but after about 7 years of being referred to as cheap-ass, Kmart wrestling after owning these towns not 7 years prior, this is some intense stuff.

    It actually sounded more like someone, maybe Lawler, doing a Tommy Rich impression during the phone call portion.

    Jeff had been using "Simply Irresistible" for his entrance music since like 1989 (replacing "Dreams" by Van Hagar) so we were used to that.

    Yeah, I thought a couple of those little leaguers were going to get trampled.

    Well, the Perot joke was as fresh as the headlines then, that week if memory serves me

    Tom was still doing Memphis the first few days of the week and then making SMW shots on the weekend. He and Brian Christopher kept trading the Southern title back and forth.

    That was Ernie, the security guard there at the station.

    I'm from the Jarrett territory, so there are tons of questions I could ask. Some of them stupid ("how were you able to tell Rough from Ready?"). One of my favorite parts of their show was the music videos. Which were his favorites and were there some that just made him groan?

    I was there that night in Jasper, Indiana. It was a pretty good house, SRO. I remember these high school sweethearts, in matching SADD sweatshirts, losing their shit over Sheik Abdul Hassan. They wanted him dead.

    Renegade Rumble was, usually, their name for a Royal Rumble.

    Current WWE

    ajtroma replied to Smack2k's topic in WWE

    I'm rather surprised that the leaked Mania Main Event script story hasn't gotten any traction.

    Only on the BIG BIG occasions did Dave do Mondays at the Coliseum. The Lawler-Hennig match, Memphis Memories cards, I think he did the ring announcing (at least) for the Jackie Fargo-Don Greene Hair Match.

    Craig popped into Memphis for the tournament later in the year and for the TV show prior to it. He also did some ESPN tv tapings held in Louisville and Nashville when it looked like Pediceno was going to buy the USWA. Other than those times, Craig never spent any time in Memphis. We ended up with Cory Macklin instead. I still wonder what we all did, USWA fans, to deserve that.

    The Evansville show didn't have any sponsors around this time, pizza or otherwise.

    Randy Savage from ICW. Actually any new found ICW or Memphis footage. Someone somewhere has to have WMC full shows from the late 80s. I cant believe that nobody back then in the Memphis market didn't tape those shows.

    They knew we didn't get WMC. The booking of the weekly house shows was a repeat of the main stuff on the Memphis cards a week prior. With the same angles, same title changes, the same whole deal. If you were perceptive enough to catch that, it kind of sucked. Most knew but didn't care. In fact, I know one time on the Louisville show, they showed footage of the actual match in Louisville with the Memphis commentary and it synched up pretty much the same. As far as Eddie mumbling something incomprehensible, well, that was Eddie. He was hard to understand sometimes.

    I'd always heard the opposite: that Lawler was a better booker for the guys and that Jerry Jarrett was the tight-ass.

    Stan looks pretty good here. His hairplugs look natural. Steve looks like a bigger, meaner version of Johnny Carson.
  21. ajtroma
    IIRC, the run Lawler was referring to was when the Road Warriors did the loop (sold out about everywhere) working with the Fabs. Stacy distracts poor Stasiak with digitalized pussy.
  22. ajtroma
    I noticed that and was hoping I was just reading too much into it.

    I think Terri smacked Nacho Man in the head with a shoe in a Billionaire Ted sketch.

    Give 'em Hell, Mae! She starts beating the shit out of Corey Macklin and I'm loving this one way too much.

    Cornette throws in an Ugly George reference (gotta be a first on Memphis tv) and my skin crawls at the thought of the stuff Cornette watches to relax while on the road.
