Jerry Lawler is out to announce some changes in the USWA. Lawler recaps the TV and arena history of Memphis wrestling. Lawler talks about how Bill Clinton made a mandate starting with the fall season of TV that all stations have to carry three hours of educational programming on Saturday mornings. As a result of this, the USWA has lost its morning time slot effective September 6. It will now be on Saturdays at midnight, and the show will be re-run on either Sunday mornings or afternoons. This is amazing for Lawler spinning some shitty news for a promotion on its last legs.

Ha. Nice story Lawler. I'm sure Obamacare would be the culprit this day in age. Saturday night timeslot is bad but they still get to replay on Sunday morning/afternoons. But that doesn’t feel definite. Lawler tells everyone to set their VCRs.

The Cable in the Classroom stuff is true--until this year when the rules changed again, ABC had to stop showing noon college football games other than a few weeks out of the season. And even at this stage of the company, the USWA was still regularly winning its timeslot. This sounds pretty devastating in the days before DVRs, though the live audience actually sounds enthusiastic.
