SuperShow 2008: "A Memphis Reigns Tribute"
Live and only on pay per view
Union City, New Jersey
Sunday Feb 17th, 2008
Union City is a city in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. According to the United States 2000 Census, the city had a total population of 67,088, living on a land area of 3.28 km² (1.27 sq mi). It is the most densely populated city in the United States, with a density of 52,977.8 per square mile - roughly twice as dense as the second densest city, New York City
Union City was incorporated on June 1, 1925 by merging the two towns of West Hoboken and Union Hill. One of the city's two high schools, Union Hill High School, continues to bear the name that former town to this day. After World War II, veterans relocated to Bergen County, causing a short-lived decline in the population. In the late 1960s, a large migration of Cuban refugees fleeing Fidel Castro's regime came and settled in Union City, making Union City for many years the city with the largest Cuban population in the U.S. after Miami, hence its nickname, "Havana on the Hudson." In recent years however, the Hispanic population has diversified. Today's influx of immigrants comes from the Dominican Republic, Central and South America. Middle class people from New York City have also settled there.
The easternmost streets of Union City, in particular Mountain Road and Palisade Avenue, boast some impressive views of neighboring Weehawken, Hoboken and the New York City skyline, a feature which, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, was exploited by numerous Union City citizens, such as those who stood in the courtyard of the Union City Boxing Club to view the event's aftereffects. A piece of wreckage from the attack was used to create a monument that now stands in that courtyard.

"MEMPHIS REIGNS"
Known as the “Original Excellence of Execution,” and "the future" of wrestling, Memphis "American Bad Ass" Reigns was one of the finest technical wrestlers ever.
This submission specialist was known for systematically breaking down his opponents until he was ready to lock in the Pouring Reign which was a carbon copy of the Sharpshooter, from which few escaped. Memphis was named rookie of the year in the HCW before it shut-down and was also it's last US Champion. Known to have a bad history with BigMac, Memphis accepted an offer to the EWC only to spit in Macs face.
However, in April of 2005 the two reconciled and Memphis came to the EWC where he established himself as one of it's most beloved superstars. He would go onto form a close bond with Shadow Man and win the tag team titles together. Memphis also would go onto win the EWC Championship belt and the European Championship.
In a sad twist of events, Memphis would pass away (February 17th 2006 aprox 2:17AM) in his sleep due to a heart failure after beating colon cancer. He will always be remembered and loved by the EWC!

RIVER BELOW: The Memphis Reigns Theme
This goes out to Memphis Reigns and his family, friends and fans...
Woooooooooooooo
Rejected...since day one
My name is...bastard son
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count
Blue collar...working man
Devises...master plan
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm
I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane, but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!
Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down!
Tick-tocking...times up now
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never loved nobody!
I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken an' you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!
