Post Show Notes
--A great show from top to bottom with some solid promos to go along with it.

--Jerry Stubbs believes Don Bass needs to learn how to work because he can’t sell worth a damn.

--Randy Savage thinks that Terry Taylor doesn’t connect with fans and is a waste of time.

--Jerry Lawler is now fully fit after his injury.

Weekly News
--Miss Elizabeth has announced the formation of a band that could lead to some tours in the future. Liz and the Macho Men, perhaps.

--Wayne Farris’ contract is up in 30 days and has told me he will not re-sign as he is a freelancer who likes to spend a short time with a promotion and move on.
