[1999-07-10-MPPW-TV] Arena Highlights / Interview: Memphis Mafia

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Clips of JR Smooth attacking some dude named Cannonball with a baseball bat at a house show. Wolfie D, Tommy Rich and Dirty White Boy come out together for an interview, and they are now being called the Memphis Mafia. Doug Gilbert has been reinstated, but now he's only at live events. He's not allowed on TV. Rich claims that's not fair because he can draw money without getting a chance to say his peace. I love that logic. In a world of Kevin Nash's booking, it almost makes too much sense. Doug is in the parking lot and gets in a shouting match with Hales but Hales keeps him out of the studio.

The Cannonball in question is "Chris 'The Dragon' Cannonball" otherwise known as Pierre/Jean Pierre Lafitte/Pierre Oulette doing a firebreathing gimmick and hailing from Miami. His promos were brutal.

Wolfie continues to be on both shows. Good promo from DWB. Tommy Rich is even fired up.

DWB and TOmmy Rich seem right calling themselves the Memphis Mafia. Doug is on the scene New York Jets jersey and all. Good promo and still a good bill here for the overall angle.

Carl Oulette is taken out with a baseball bat at an arena show, as he's booked for a tour of All-Japan.

 

I'd buy a ticket to see the Memphis Mafia against the BSK in some WarGames-esque gimmick match. All the Mafia members cut rapidfire promos one after the other and this totally rules.
