Memphis Wrestling PRIMETIME 9.02.06
----Show opened with a video of Jimmy Hart arriving @ night at the UPN studios. He was followed by Cory Maclin and then “Too Cool 2” [Flex/Tim Grind] arrived. All were in “Fast & Furious” type cars. Who did they borrow those from?? And, then they opened the show with a nice music piece showing who was going to be on the show with slick graphics and such. Maclin & Hart are hosting today.
----“Too Cool 2” [Flex/Grind] interview. Robert Gibson/Mr. America come out for an interview. Gibson/America win by DQ over Flex/Grind. Heat on America with hot tag to Gibson. Double sleeper spot on heels, then Dundee hits America from behind. Jerry Calhoun called for the DQ.
----Nate The Rat interview with him talking about getting rid of Lawler. They air the clip of Lawler piledriving Nate a few weeks ago.
----“Family of Pain” [Sarge O’Riley/Mickey Ray]/Humongous with “Hollywood” Jimmy Blaylock beat Tatt2/Neil Taylor/Andrew Donovan. Tatt2 got in a few good spots. Heat on Donovan with hot tag to Neil Taylor. Taylor was taken down pretty quick with FOP doing a real good looking finisher. Huey finished him off with a legdrop. Crowd was hot!! Good fast match.
----Lawler with Renee interview. Lawler said, “Not many people like rats.” Wait now King - we are all love rats!! LOL Renee looked fabulous in a zebra print something. They show clips of past “Leave It To Lawler” segments. Next week the new season begins.
----Segment airs of Nate/Huey looking inside Nate’s suitcase. Jethro & Grady Watson walk out of an elevator and Jethro wants to know if that is what you get if you put Lawler in the hospital pointing inside the suitcase. He tells Nate “I am your man”. Watson says that he don’t want nothing to do with trash like Nate, but Jethro just slaps him & pushes him back in the elevator. Good segment. Jethro turns!! Maybe he will do the “Devil Rejects” gimmicks soon.
----Lawler by DQ over Jethro. Jethro used the old Lawler trick of a foreign object in his overalls. [Lawler/Jimmy Valiant use to drive me crazy as a kid doing this!!!] Lawler finally made a comeback with pulling down the strap. He slugged Nate outside the ring and went for the fistdrop. He missed it. Then out of the crowd Rebecca Raze jumped Renee putting a belt around her neck choking her. Raze kept kicking and choking her. Renee’s sister Barbara came out to make the save along with Grady Watson. Not a great bout, [nothing wrong] but a great piece with Raze choking Renee. Crowd ate it up.
----Lance Russell video piece talking about “Handsome” Jimmy Valiant. “Opening The Vault” with Valiant video.
----Southern Tag Team Title Match: Kevin White/Brickhouse Brown beat “The Cowboys” [Ricky Murdoch/Bill Nasty] with Nate The Rat to retain the belts. Heat on White. Brick didn’t even get a hot tag, but jumped in to go to the finish. Murdoch was holding White as Nasty was going to hit him with bullrope bell, but White ducked. White pinned Murdoch as Brick held off Nasty. Nasty/Murdoch were horrible here. White/Brick looked good and crowd was so hot for them.
FINAL NOTES: Are Gibson/Rocker related?? For shoot, they both look alike and Chris was always known as the “Fabulous Rocker’??...Hart said that Dundee was the new manger of TC2??...Crowd was sooo hot!!...FOP come off as old school tag team---know why?? Because they are an old school tag team!!...Not sure if it aired liked this in Jackson, but there seem to be a glitch during the whole show with the video???...The last two vignettes they have done with Nate have been real good…Raze is from Gateway Wrestling in St. Louis. She is has currently been working MCW in a feud with Tasha Simone. Nate tried to introduce her, but Brick/White came out. They never gave her a name on TV. She is a good worker…I have been told that the “Cowboys” are getting the big push because Nate likes them a lot. Why?? Nate – watch today’s bout!!! They looked horrible!!...Another good show – four in a row. Good one for the first one @ 10: 00 PM. Also, Maclin keeps saying “Primetime”?? 10:00 is not primetime is it?? Someone in TV please help me here!!!
