[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Arena footage looks really sad this late in the game for Memphis. Clips of the Lawler vs Dreamer match are cool though. That feels like a match that might have drawn a bigger house when Memphis was a stronger city.

The fact it did as well as it did was a small miracle. For a moment, it looked like better days were finally coming back to Memphis. This did not last long.

The crowd looks so small to what they were doing on the early yearbooks. Nick Dinsmore looking so young wins tag titles but it gets overturned. Dreamer hit Lawler in the nuts and Jerry returned the favor many times after.

Eugene makes his first yearbook appearance I believe here. No idea who the huge lard he is wrestling is on the truth commission side. The arena looked really sad especially compared to the MSC dedication ceremony I just watched in 1991. Billy Joe cheats to win the belt and the Dreamer vs. King clips looked like a good brawl.

That huge lard was the former Mantaur, who doesn't look to have improved any as he badly blows a hip toss. The Big One is a far cry from the Pipkin Building, much less the Mid-South Coliseum, but it another universe it would have a bit of charm to it. Really good-looking action between Lawler and Dreamer, including Dreamer dropping the ring announcer with a piledriver.
