**The WWE is holding an open
tryout on November 5th in Freehold, New Jersey
at the Matt Borne Professional
Wrestling Academy.
The size is limited to 100 entrants and will cost prospective trainees $325 for
the tryout.
**Jerry Lawler’s Memphis
Wrestling will be finished after this Saturday’s broadcast. The show failed to acquire
any further sponsorship after a split between Lawler and Joe Cooper, who were
set to go into business together and open up a deli. After Lawler informed
Cooper he was withdrawing his name from the venture Cooper stopped selling
advertising for the show and it is done. The show minimal viewership in Memphis
often in the range of 10,000 viewers each week and a far cry from the solid
numbers wrestling would do in Memphis on Saturday mornings even over the last
five years. The production quality was just about the worst I have ever seen
from a televised wrestling product and likely hurt them trying to sell the show
to any other distributors.
**Worldwide Wrestling
Promotions has lost one of their key executives as Mister Saint Laurent has
announced that he is leaving the promotion over breach of contract and is now
training for a return to the ring and hopeful of securing some Canadian dates.
Saint Laurent was part of the promotion right from the get go and is very close
with Scott Hall (who was rumored to have a big spot with the company before he
went to rehab) and was overseeing a lot of the talent for the company. R. Sean
Pascoe (Sean Davis) issued a statement as well stating that there is no ill
will towards Saint Laurent but wanted to clarify to the public that there was a
specific clause in the contract agreement that allowed the promotion to
postpone the start date of payment for an unforeseen circumstances and the
employee would be allowed to re-negotiate terms of the contract or opt out of
the deal if the postponement would be longer than sixty days.
**This Sunday night on The
LAW we will be joined by the man previously known as ‘The Sinister Minister’
Jim Mitchell to discuss a variety of topics about the current presentation of
professional wrestling. As always we will speak with Dave Meltzer of the ‘Wrestling
Observer Newsletter’ and we will also hear from David Lagana to review Ring of
Honor’s ‘Glory by Honor IX’ event.
