Wouldn't it make more sense to do Tommy Dreamer vs. Onita in the exploding ring deal since they are both Terry Funk proteges?  They could have Dory be guest timekeeper and have Mick Foley as referee or whatever and call it a Double Cross Ranch exploding branding iron whatever match.

That sounds pretty good to me except I don't want to see any of these guys get hurt or take exploding bumps in 2024!

Could CM Punk show the All In: London fight footage on Raw?

Well, he doesn't run Raw, so the real question is could WWE. I suppose they could but I don't know why they would bother.

I have an idea: how about WWE does Brawl for All as a brand with NXT talents vs. older UFC fighters?

I mean, I guess they could do that, but I don't see how legitimate fights help any of those involved?  If it's going to be a worked deal, OK, but again, I don't think real fight fans want to watch worked fights and I don't think WWE fans want to see fake "real" fights either, they want to watch WWE.  Maybe there is a happy medium somewhere you can find, but I don't know what it would be.

I was online looking up old results and was shocked to learn former ROH Champion Xavier passed.  I read your obituary from that time period but it didn't mention his cause of death.  Any idea?

How cause of death was never publicly disclosed to the best of my knowledge.

Where was the Terry Funk-Jerry Lawler empty arena match filmed and where did Eddie Gilbert hit Lawler with the car?  I am driving through Memphis and thought I'd take a peek.  Is there any wrestling in Memphis now?

The Empty Arena match was filmed inside The Mid-South Coliseum, which sadly is no longer open and operating.  It still stands, so you can drive around it in the parking lot.  The Gilbert-Lawler angle was outside WMC-TV channel 5.  The parking lot is still there but is now fenced, so you can see it but not walk on the property.  Memphis Wrestling tapes every few weeks.  For details, visit www.championshipwrestlingmemphis.com.  If you are in town, I'd also suggest visiting Jerry Lawler's Hall of Fame BBQ on Beale Street, which has a TON of memorabilia on display.
