By Stephen Lyon slyon10yearsago@hotmail.comHERE AND THERE: Randy Hales’ Memphis Power Pro Wrestling promotion drew an estimated 3,500 fans to the Mid-South Coliseum on June 23rd, in a show considered a major success. The show had lots of help from the WWF, who sent Kane, Jeff Jarrett, Road Dogg, Rock & Roll Express, New Midnight Express and Jim Cornette. It was expected that the WWF would start sending some wrestlers on developmental contracts to work as regulars in this territory. The main event was Jerry Lawler vs Kane. Kane was managed by Jim Cornette, as Paul Bearer was injured. Cornette cut a promo explaining that he’d rather be in Lawler’s corner, but that Bearer was his friend and asked him to manage Kane as a favour. The match ended when Kane was pounding on Lawler, and Stacy Carter (Lawler’s girlfriend) hit the ring and attacked Kane with her shoe. Kane barely sold the blow, and went to chokeslam Stacy, only for Lawler to throw a fireball at him. Kane then went crazy, chokeslamming both Cornette and the referee Bill Rush for the D.Q….. Also on the show, Jeff Jarrett pinned Billy Travis, and blasted Travis’ manager, Brandon Baxter with a guitar shot afterwards. Buddy Landell ran in, and Landell & Travis left Jarrett laying……. Brian Christopher pinned Road Dogg after a superkick…… Bill Dundee & Moondog Spot & King Mabel & Ashley Hudson (later known as ‘Ozzie Rooles’, Daffney’s boyfriend in WCW in mid-2000) & Jimmy Valiant beat Tracy Smothers & Tony Falk & Koko B. Ware & Master B & B.J. Awesome, when Spot pinned Falk…… Rock & Roll Express beat the New Midnight Express; and Jacqueline beat Derrick King in a match where, if King had won, Jacqueline would have had to have married him.
