Wildside and PK Ripper Response?? What'ca Think??

----My first thoughts are that I thought that Wildside came off pretty good. He can talk - always has been a good talker. Some of the stuff that he said was more or less the "company line" and handled himself well wishing everyone good luck. The guy asking the questions was Jon Seymore and he was horrible. I typed those questions in like 3 minutes and was rushing to get them to PK. As someone that is suppose to be ask the questions - he could have been a bit professional and cleaned up my mistakes. PK in gimmick cracked me up. I could not quit laughing thinking that he did the interview in full gimmick!! 'Nuff said right now as I want to hear the opinions of others and I don't want my opinion to influence you.

Who Is The Next Legend??

----This is a converstation I have had for the last few days with various people including Gene Jackson, Brian Thompson and workers that would rather kayfabe. I will comment on it more when I can get a discussion going about it, because I have my ideas - I just want you guys to think!! LOL

----The year is 2022 and I am planning a big "Legends" show celebrating 15 years of rasslinriotonline.com. Who would be on that show?? Please do not say Bill Dundee and Jerry Lawler, because we all know THEY WILL BE THERE. LOL But, what other person or persons has Memphis Wrestling and the surrounding area built to replace the current legends??

Void/Walker interview?? What did you think??

----So, what did you think?? I am a bit on the fence on this one. I have worked places before that kept treating me like shit - no pay and such. But, when you got guys like Void/Bradley - with real good talent - why would they continue to work for TIWF when they were not getting paid?? The whole situation would be partially their fault for staying; right??

UWF Final Show Joneboro AR

Hey Guys
I am new to the board. Some of you old timers will remember me as David Haskins. I have not worked under that name since 1986. I was lucky enough for Eddie Gilbert to bring me into MidSouth owned by Bill Watts and they teamed me with a guy name Shane Douglas we competed for the UWF rookie of the year along with Steve Cox(DR Death protege) and Gary Young who lives in Little Rock now. Brain told me he was present at the above mentioned Jonesboro show.It was there that the biggest rib ever pulled on me in the wrestling business took place. The next day was a pay per view Terry Taylor vs Nikita Koloff for the World TV title.I was working Taylor that night in Jonesboro . We wre supposed to do a 30 minute broadway. The Late Pee Wee Anderson was the referee and Tommy Gilbert gave the finishes because Eddie was the booker.At about the 28 minute mark Taylor said try to pin me every way you can think of so I did Small packages school boys any kind of cradle you can thank of.The last deal he cut me off and went to slam me put me behind him and said roll me up so I pushed him into the ropes and rolled him up. Pee Wee counted 1 2 3 And I was shocked about 12,000 people were losing their minds as I stood in Disbelief I was shocked worst than them. Taylor was yelling that I was shooting on him I am still stunned Pee Wee is saying what are you doing you screwed up the whole pay per view as he pushed me through the people to the dressing room. I go in and Eddie and Tommy start going crazy I am saying I am sorry and I didn't do anything. Then Taylor comes in and goes crazy for about 5 minutes then Eddie starts laughing and every one says it was a rib. I had never been so relived in my life. But it was a great end to a great territory. Was anyone else there.

Sal Corrente Interview??

So what did you think?? I thought it was interesting, but at times Sal came off a little too brash. The comments about "another WWE performer" out of control was a little too much for me. It was as if he was comparing himself to the Benoit situation and the seriousness of the Lawler/Corrente story is nothing near that. I also thought it was a little over the edge, when he said something to the effect that Lawler had murder in his eyes?? All and all I thought it was interesting and informing especially about the inner workings of Memphis Wrestling.

Welcome to The Board!!

----I would like to welcome everyone to the new RRO message board. It is something that I really needed to add to the site. The difference between my board and others with be #1 - it will be BLOG format. That is much like any other board with the main topic, then everyone can make comments on what is said. Or you can even start your new topic for others to comment on. #2: You must have an invite to join the board. You can do that by two ways - e-mail me and request an invite or many of you will get an invite anyway. I have no problem with you kayfabing your name to world. But, I must know who you are and have control over what is said in general. I have no problem with you blasting me or saying I am wrong and such. But, no personal stuff on anyone unless it pertains to the news.
