 With the title changing hands at SUPERCARD BASH, Nick Bockwinkel’s first world title defense has been signed, with the champ going overseas to Tokyo Japan to face Antonio Inoki in the main event of Japan Wrestling Federation’s SUPERCARD. The rest of the card will likely be announced in the coming weeks, but with the champ leaving the states- we’ll be focusing our reports on Memphis Pro Wrestling this month. With the Jackie Fargo recently crowned the Tennessee Heavyweight Champion, and a simmering rivalry between Jerry Lawler and Tommy Rich- this promotion appears to be red hot. Our first stop on the tour will be later tonight, from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis Tennessee. The announced card: “Superstar” Bill Dundee vs Randy Rose Jimmy Valiant vs Brickhouse Brown Rock N Roll Express vs Koko Ware & Tracy Smothers MAIN EVENT: Jerry Lawler & Jackie Fargo vs Austin Idol & Tommy Rich w/ Jimmy Hart

 Memphis Wrestling Presents: Card #1
Cook Convention Center in Memphis, TennesseeIn a bit of an upset, Randy Rose dominated the match against Superstar, landing back to back Rose Bombs to to the sock of the crowd. Afterwards, Rose grabbed a mic and gave an open challenge to anyone in the back for next weeks show. Dutch Savage slowly walked out, smiling as the both men stared each other down...Randy Rose (0) defeats Bill Dundee (3) via Rose Bomb in 14 min
★★Jimmy Valiant vs Brickhouse BrownThis was a show stealing war, with Valiant looking strong early before Brickhouse came roaring back, hitting 3 Flying Body Presses that the Boogey Woogey Man refused to stay down for. Unfortunately Brickhouse cut off every comeback attempt, and a forth trip up the turnbuckle proved to be the decider. Brickhouse Brown (3) defeats Jimmy Valiant (5) via FLYING BODY PRESS in 22 min
★★★★Rock N Roll Express vs Koko Ware & Tracy SmothersThe RnR Express had a dominant debut, making quick work of Koko Ware, preventing a tag from ever being made and finishing him off with a slingshot stomp. After the match, The Fantastics came to the ring and challenged the RnR Express to a match for the vacant Tennessee Tag Team belts...Ricky Morton (0) and ROBERT GIBSON (0) defeat Tracy Smothers (0) and KOKO WARE (3) via slingshot stomp in 12 min.
★Jerry Lawler & Jackie Fargo vs Tommy Rich & Austin Idol w/Jimmy HartLots of dirty tactics from Jimmy Hart, but none of them seemed to work as Lawler and Fargo worked together seamlessly to thwart Idol and Tommy Rich. After the match, as Lawler and Fargo celebrated, Jimmy Hart nailed both men with his cane. As Austin Idol put the boots to the Tennessee champ, Tommy Rich produced a belt and began whipping Jerry Lawler with it continuously until The RnR Express and Bill Dundee came out to make the save as the show went off the air...**JACKIE FARGO (0) and Jerry Lawler (0) defeats TOMMY RICH (1) and Austin Idol (0) via roaring forearm in 14 min**

★★Precious Paul Ellering vs Sputnik MonoreThis had the makings of a classic, with both men throwing everything at each other.

Sputnik Monroe (0) defeats Paul Ellering (0) via DQ in 12 min
★★Gordon Solie comes out to interview Jerry Lawler. Lawler says he’s sick of Tommy Rich and Jimmy Hart running their mouth and its time for both of them you pay the price. He says in two weeks, hes going to take that strap and whip Tommy Rich all over the Mid South Coliseum.The Fantastics vs The MoondogsThe Fabulous Ones wasted little time, quickly dismantling the Moondogs in a short one sided rematch from Road To Gold Stop 7.

Steve Keirn (0) defeats Moond Dog Spot (0) via Fabulous Forearm in 8 min

Cook Convention Center in Memphis, Tennessee To kick off the show, it is announced that next week, at the Mid South Coliseum, the Tennessee Tag Team Title belts will be on the line when the RnR Express face The Fabulous Ones. Also, Dutch Mantell has requested, and been granted, a rematch with Randy Rose...Bill Dundee & Koko Ware vs The MoondogsMoondogs dominated early before Dundee got a hot tag and ran wild, nearly submitting both men with the Indian Deathlock. The Moondogs survived the storm however, and ended up catching Koko Ware with a big SHOULDER BREAKER for the win. Moondog Rex (3) defeats Koko Ware (2) via SHOULDER BREAKER in 14 min
Dundee (3), Spot (2)
★★Precious Paul Ellering vs Brickhouse BrownFor the second straight week, after being unable to take control of a match, Ellering went to the outside and clobbered an opponent with a chair, resulting in a DQ. As he was showered with boos from the crowd, Ellering laughed his way to the back... Brickhouse Brown (0) defeats Paul Ellering (1) via DQ in 9 min
★Ricky Morton vs Stan LaneA sprint of a match, with both tag specialists racing to finish off the other. Lane was in control early, but Ricky Morton made the comeback, hitting one cross body for the near fall, then coming back to it again to put down Stan Lane for the victory. After the match, both partners came down to the ring and all four men started jawing back and forth before erupting in a brawl that had to be broken up by security.Ricky Morton defeats Stan Lane via CROSS BODY BLOCK in 10 min
★A taped interview plays, with Gordon Solie talking first to the challenger Austin Idol, then to champion Jackie Fargo. Idol appears with Jimmy Hart, announcing that he has hired Hart to get him to the next level and bring the Tennessee Heavyweight Championship to its rightful home. He calls Fargo a bum and a paper champion, and next week he’s going to show everyone in that arena what a true wrestler looks like.
Fargo says he’s tired of hearing Idol run his mouth- its pretty simple, next week he’s going to prove who the real King of Memphis is, and it aint Austin Idol. The rest? He’ll leave it for the ring...MAIN EVENT: Sputnik Monroe vs Ox BakerThe main event saw Sputnik Monroe take on a visiting Ox Baker in a very exciting match. Baker took control early, and nailed Sputnik with a HEART PUNCH that nearly ended things.

 Memphis Wrestling Presents: Card #4
The Mid South Coliseum in Memphis Tennessee After running down the matches to a sold out crowd, the date is announced as set for later this month- World Champion Nick Bockwinkel will face Anotion Inoki in Japan, with closed circuit tickets available starting tomorrow.Koko Ware vs Precious Paul ElleringThis is starting to get a little ridiculous. Ellering was aggressive early, almost ending the match in the first 2 minutes with a neckbreaker, before Koko mounted a comeback and almost claimed victory with a top rope splash. "Precious Paul", sensing that the match was getting away from him, again went for a chair- nailing Koko Ware and laughing as the building again rained down boos. Koko Ware (2) defeats Paul Ellering (1) via DQ in 12 min
★Dutch Mantell vs Randy RoseIn a bit of a shocker, Randy Rose snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Dutch looked primed to earn payback from Randy's attack with a lead pipe in their first match, controlling the action and gaining two close near falls. But late in the match, after a series of reversals from both men, Rose hit a big closeline and then used the tights to roll up Dutch and earn the victory. Randy Rose (4) defeats Dutch Mantell (1) in 14 min
★★★Tennessee Tag Team Championship: Rock N Roll Express vs The Fabulous OnesA hard fought match from both sides- with The Fabs working to isolate Robert Gibson from his corner- a strategy that almost worked until a big hot tag saw Ricky Morton clear the ring, setting up back to back double dropkicks on Stan Lane that proved enough to give the RnR Express the Tag Team belts. Ricky Morton (2) defeats Stane Lane (4) via DOUBLE DROPKICK in 22 min to become TAG TEAM CHAMPS!
Gibson (3) Keirn (0)
★★★Strap Match: Jerry Lawler vs Tommy Rich w/Jimmy HartThese guys brawled all over the arena, whipping each other with the leather strap and generally beating the hell out of one another. Both men were busted open, and despite Lawler looking like he had the match put away mutliple times, he couldnt shake off the interference from Jimmy Hart- resulting in Rich finding an opening to get the win to the dismay of the crowd. Tommy Rich (5) defeats Jerry Lawler (3) via THESZ PRESS in 32 min
★★★★MAIN EVENT Tennessee Heavyweight Championship: Jackie Fargo (c) vs Austin Idol /w Jimmy HartThis was absolutely unexpected. Austin Idol came out of the gate firing everything he had at the champ, and Jackie Fargo could never get his feet under him. Within 2 minutes Idol was pinning Fargo, and 5 min after that Idol had the Las Vegas Leglock sunk in so deep Fargo had no choice but to tap out. In a night filled with upsets, this one stood out as a shell shocked crowd silently exited the arena as Jimmy Hart and Austin Idol celebrated in the ring. Austin Idol (0) defeats Jackie Fargo (1) to become the NEW TENNESSEE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
