Memphis Wrestling Night

Tonight was Memphis Wrestling Night at the Redbirds game. After the game, there was an hour-long wrestling show on the field.

The main event featured Jerry "The King" Lawler...I don't remember who he was up against, but it was Sid Vicious' brother.

At the beginning, Lawler came out with Rick Eckstein, Tagg Bozied, and Rick Ankiel and said if anybody other than his opponent comes out there, for the Redbirds to take care of it.

Long story short, Eckstein ended up flying in from the top turnbuckle to finish the match. Ankiel and Bozied also got to "beat the crap out of" a guy (obviously fake -- this is pro wrestling, but it was still extremely funny). It joins the Reyes-Gallardo matchup as the two highlights of the year.

How big did Tagg Bozied look in comparison

to the Pro Wrestlers? Could he moonlight in the WWF?

My husband was at the Reyes-Gallardo

matchup by chance, just went to the game to kill time while doing some universtiy busines.....said the place was electric, that he had never seen such great blood on the floor pitching.......and why is Ankiel, he of fragile body, participating in an event like this?

Ankiel...

Wasn't really at risk.

He's not that fragile. All he had to do was act like he was swinging the bat 5 times and punch a guy 5 times. Eckstein's the only one who took any real injury risk.

Ankiel and Bozied, BTW, were many years of heavy steroid use behind the wrestlers in terms of body type.
