accept a beat down like that and don't get revenge! Wolfie promised the fans

USWA Hotline: 

Our first Memphis show is in the books. We know that a February show will be 
on the list next month and we can tell you that Jerry Lawler, Tommy Rich,
Bobby Duncum Jr., PG-13 and Steve Bradley will all be back in action for the
show. 

A Mid South championship title will be added to the titles and will eventually
be defended here in the upcoming months. The turnout for the show was fantastic
as we packed the Coliseum with over 2500 fans for the debut. The USWA front 
office believes that this number has room to grow in the future.
