Well Don, To be fair, Pat is good people. He recently became alderman of Caryville, TN, and he's apparently back in the promoting game again.

Here's mine
This show took place about 2008 at the local little league ball-field. It was run and booked by an old acquaintance of mine named Pat Peavely (AKA: Perfect Pat) It was a free show, and well...me and my Dad got our money's worth. Where to start?
Well, Pat decided to call his promotion "Southeastern Championship Wrestling" to cash in on the famous Knoxville Territory of the 70s. The ring was set up in the parking lot, and the only seats were concrete bleachers about 200 feet away from the ring. The dressing rooms were in the local rec. center next to the ball-field...about 500 feet away, meaning that everyone's entrances were about 2 minutes long. This would all be fine however...if the actual wrestling was good.....it wasn't. Now I will forgive indies of a lot of things, but I will not forgive when the wrestlers simply aren't trying. And no-one was giving it an effort. Even the ring announcer was a joke saying things like "Uh, the next match is...like...one fall with a 10 minute limit"...The low point came with a cruiser-weight match featuring a guy named, I kid you not, "Jack Hardy." He was dressed like Matt Hardy, with facepaint like Jeff, and he even came out to "Modest", they basically tried to sell him as a third Hardy boy. The lowest point of this match came when he botched a Canadian Destroyer...in the most hilario of fashions. He didn't even flip, he just sort of rolled forward and his opponent sold it terribly.
Me and my dad finally left after a particularly onerous incident. During intermission, I was hungry, so I walked over to the concession stand to get a hot dog. I went back to be seat and...I kid you not...the Hot dog...wasn't...cooked! They had knowingly just served me a raw hot dog. I walked right back down, and talked to the lady behind the counter, and (get this) she was genuinely offended that I DARED to ask for a cooked Hot Dog. That was it...Me and dad left at that point. I read the results on their Facebook page, and it ended with local wrestling "legend" (and I use that term VERY loosely) Johnny Raynor getting screwed over by Commish Pat Peavley, doing his 131st heel turn.

Not to sound dumb, but does anyone know where I can find this in the network collections?

I am proud to present to you the following. Concept footage of the planned but never built WWE Casino, that was to have been built in Las Vegas in 1999. I think we can all agree that it is one of the great sadnesses of our modern age that this never got off the ground. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UJ8Ye6lNT0

I didn't know he had a falling out with Cornette over asking for a loan. He didn't. But I thought I'd heard he asked Jim for help. Also there's a line in the original song where he says "I called up my brother to ask for a loan." So I threw it in as a reference

Evidence #1 that Jay Briscoe was always the talker of the Briscoe Bros. (is it sad that I can't stop laughing at this?)

Well, I was wanting to do some VO Practice and I thought that monologue would be a good way to rehearse, but If you don't have it, it's fine.

Hey wrestling fans, I need assistance with something. If you ever go to a WWE live event or TV Taping, before the first dark match or the opening of the show, you hear a monologue where an announcer says something about not recording the shows, and I know one line is "...ejection from the arena, and the confiscation of recording equipment."
If ANYONE could get me a full script to that warning, I would be most appreciative
Thank You

Dave Mustaine went to rehab like twenty times or so before it finally stuck

Reminds me of the 1992 PWI Year End Awards where they showed fans' top 10 lists, and one guy wrote "the top ten things wrong with WCW in 1992" and three of the en tries were different versions of: "The BARBARIAN! A WORLD TITLE CONTENDER!"

Hey guys, I went to the Fanboy Expo in Knoxville over the weekend, and I got to meet three of the biggest legends in Southern Wrasslin' history, "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley (who didn't smile once), "The Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony, and Dr. Tom Pritchard. Anyway, since I was cosplaying as a ref, and brought my own WHC commemorative belt, they had a bunch of belts with that that they let me pose with. Tom even joked that "I looked like Dan Severn with all those belts!" Anyway, I can ID all of them but the red belt Pritchard and Coolery were holding...can you guys give me any ideas? Thanks! Brian~

Hey Guys
I am stressed out these days, and I don't know what else to do. Well, I should start at the beginning. Back in January my Mom got really sick. She had double pneumonia in both of her lungs. She came close to dying, but miraculously, she has has made a full recovery. She also quit smoking after 46 years. She has stayed smoke free for over two months, and she has made a huge recovery. In fact the doctors are saying that she has a mild case of emphysema, but as long she she remains smoke free, as she has, she can look forward to a normal lifespan. And the longer she stays smoke free, the better she'll get.
Anyway, lately is seems all I do is worry. I am worried about Mom and her health. I worry all the time about my job and how no matter how hard I work adn what I do, it's never going to be good enough in the eyes of my boss. And when I don't worry, I get depressed over my life. It seems like everyone I know is more successful than me, having more fun than me, and here I am constantly getting spat upon by life.
I had plans a few months ago that when I got my Tax refund back in february that I would buy a PS4 games console. Well, that would have happened, but between mom's illness, having to help out with some bills, and the fact that thanks to screwing up my paperwork, I had to pay BACK $238 to the IRS, that plan has gone out the window. I know that's nothing serious, but it just gets to me after a while that it seems like every time I make a plan for myself, I almost expect it to be destroyed in front of me. I am getting to the point where I just wait to see how anything good that happens to me is met with either a soul crushing defeat, or something even more awesome happens to my sister Katie or someone else in the family, completely ruining my moment.
Guys, I am about at the end of my rope. I would like to see a psychiatrist, but I don't have the money for it, and besides, knowing my luck they would just pump me full of drugs and turn me into a glassy eyed, Stepford smiling zombie. I honestly don't know what to do any more. I just don't know.
Thanks for letting me vent. If you have any advice, I would love to hear it.
Brian~

youtu.be/A3Fw7loEEfkVince McMahon doing a heel promo in Memphis...in 1993! This was from when WWE had a working agreement with the USWA in the mid 90s. It's jarring to hear shiny, happy baby face Vince suddenly do a proto Mr. McMahon job...but he did it. (Corrected the year)

Reminds me of a line from Joe Bob Briggs:
"I've figured it out, we can't play curse words on this show that can be turned into a verb. Which means we can't ever show a good Jack Warden or Al Pacino on MonsterVision, since those guys were the masters of transitive verb declarative sentences, if you know what I mean, and I think you do."
