Good eye. Yes, it's the same night. Unfortunately, my Betamax was rolling only for Jessica's SECOND update that night, which was much smoother than the infamous (and overblown) "meltdown" earlier that evening. The only reason I have this clip is that I was taping Johnny Carson's anniversary show in prime time.

They covered wrestling? Memphis must have really loved Mid South!

Yeah, wrestling was huge and they treated it like a real sport, giving results every week until Memphis Wrestling ended in 1997.

That five-day outlook looks like it was done on a Commodore 64.

Dave's wx graphics look like they may have been done on a Commodore 64... not that there's anything wrong with that at all.
