Memory Of Sorts- War of Words: Piper/Lawler Would Have Been Talk of Wrestling in '82

It could have been one of the most memorable feuds in wrestling history, with two of the best talkers in the business in 1982. But it was not to be. Jerry Lawler, still riding high from the national publicity of his feud with Andy Kaufman earlier that year, made a few appearances on WTBS’s World Championship Wrestling in fall 1982, shortly after the show’s color commentator, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, turned babyface when he saved co-host Gordon Solie from an irate Magnificent Muraco. Only weeks earlier, Lawler had come off well on the “Late Night with David Letterman Show," which have inspired booker Ole Anderson to bring in Lawler, who hadn’t appeared much in the Peach State since Jerry Jarrett booked the territory during the Atlanta wrestling war of 1974. Although in the prime of his babyface run in Memphis in 1982, Lawler had returned to Atlanta as a heel, explaining that fans in his hometown had tired of hearing Piper run his mouth on the SuperStation and had asked the King to go to Atlanta to silence the Rowdy One. At one point, Lawler also refers to his would-be foe as “Roddy the Piper,” 26 years before Santino Marella uttered the same line. If Piper’s incredible heated reaction to Lawler’s comments is any indication, nationwide audiences would have been treated to months of wildly entertaining back-and-forth promos between the two masters. However, it was not to be—a week before their first schedule match at the Omni, Piper and Rich reportedly were so intoxicated they were hours late to a show in Chattanooga, which wasn't the first strike on two men who were reputed to rowdiest partiers in the biz—a dubious honor. Depending on who you believe Piper was either fired or quit a fews days before his first bout with Lawler, calling in a favor to Ric Flair to get into JCP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taZNKhNQNMY

Mat Memory- Tully Blanchard vs Buzz Tyler

From World Wide Wrestling, January 1985. A great TV match with both guys working their asses off. Not sure whatever happened to Buzz Tyler after 1985 and he pretty much vanished, but this was one of those times where Blanchard came really close to losing the belt and the fans were white hot for Tyler during the whole match. This was also just a few weeks into BabyDoll's debut with Tully.

This Blog Apparently Is Still Very Popular.

Decided to check how many viewers of this blog I've had today and wwwooww, Still impressive that I get so many of you from so many different countries.

Your viewership is very appreciated, and I'm glad you're enjoying what's posted here.

Indy Company Cancels Show because Of Threatening Fan... BUT....

But... From reading these screen shots here? There seems to be more to this than just a 'threatening fan' excuse. Apparently a wrestler for this company engaged in some unprofessional behavior towards another fan (girlfriend of man who wrote reply in screen shots? Yes indeed) and this company (Excellence Professional Wrestling), evidently has looked the other way on this incident and now has taken the complaint about one of their roster members as an 'excuse' to cancel an upcoming show.

Don't look into a serious complaint of unprofessional behavior at a family friendly show and just cancel a show instead of looking into the complaint? HHMMMMM...

And here's from the woman who was accosted herself.

This is the kind of thing you won't see Meltzer, Keller, Scherer & Johnson at PWInsider or even WrestlingInc cover. I at least AM covering it and have been in contact with the victim who sent me not only the screenshos of what she said, BUT.. Also sent me, THIS.. Letter she sent to Excellence Professional Wrestling over this issue. (Will be getting a letter of their response to what the man in above shots sent them, later today).

This is alot of evidence thrown against Excellence Professional Wrestling, and if they're deleting comments concerning this issue and suddenly 'cancelling' a show in that same area over truly looking into the situation at hand? THAT.. Looks like someone higher up in said company is trying to avoid something here.

I'm sure someone will contact EPW when they see this story, I wonder how they'll reply, if theye ven do or will try and side step it. More.. just may be revealed but this surely doesn't make an indy company look professional when they go and cancel a show over looking into a serious allegation on one of their workers. It 'does' make it look like there's something to hide, so if there is, then WHO... Is Hiding it, and why... Makes you go, HHHMMMM.

MADISON RAYNE GONE FROM RING OF HONOR

Former Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne has received a contractual release from Ring of Honor and is done with the company, This was confirmed with multiple sources.

There was unhappiness in the creative direction and that after the two sides met, the decision was made to part ways. We are told it was an amicable parting and Rayne is free and clear to wrestle anywhere she wishes going further.

(Let's hope that THIS, isn't the 'returning former champion' Impact has been hyping).

I'm STILL Wondering, How Black Label Pro Is Going To Pull This Off

I'm Still wondering because I mentioned it in my "Monday Mumblings" article https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/monday-mumblings-random-thoughts-and.html and nobody has been able to explain it.

Explain how you're gonna have two different gimmicks that are the very same guy, appear without fans noticfing, it's the same guy.

Yeah, I'm always going to be 'that guy', who comes up with the stuff no other wrestling site will have the balls to cover, or question.
