Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.11.06

----Jimmy Hart is with Corey Maclin again this week as this was taped last weekend. They open the show with Nate the Rat/Jethro interview saying he had a massive heart attack last week. Nate takes medicine and says that his doctor told him to do nothing physical.

----“Picture Perfect” [Jon Michael/Chris O’Neal]/Tatt2 beat Jethro/Fire/Flame with Nate the Rat. Real good match. Good shine from everyone. Tatt2 took the heat with hot tag to Michael. Michael pins Fire when Jethro hits Fire instead of Michael. They put it over as an upset. Heels beat up the babys after the match. Also even though Nate was “sick” he was all over the ring doing stuff.

----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell featuring Tojo Yamamoto. Clips of Tojo/Lawler vs The Mummy/Sam Bass and Tojo/Jerry Jarrett vs Al Greene/Phil Hickerson. Next Week: Jackie Fargo.

----Jethro comes out to say that Nate had to leave because his heart was hurting. Derrick King/Reggie B Fine follow him with an interview. King/Fine beat Matt Foley/Chris Rocker. Crowd was real hot as the Rocker/King feud is over. Foley is not that good, but DK worked hard to make him look good. Heat on Rocker with hot tag to Foley. Foley looked bad here on the comeback with punches missing. King pinned Foley after Fine hit him with something from under the ring.

----Bobo beat Eric Hayes with Giggles/Rashard interfering so much with even Giggles getting in the ring to switch out. Giggles hit Hayes with the bucket for the pin. Hayes did not sell it good. This was a total squash.

----“Too Cool 2” [Flex/Tim Grind]/Flash Flanagan interview. Flex/Grind/Flash beat Jerry Lawler/Dustin Starr/Kevin White with Grady Watson. Fine barred from the match, because he interfered last week. They got over 10 minutes and the match was good. Heat on Starr and hot tag to Lawler. Lawler had Flash pinned, but Nate interfered [who was suppose to be gone to the hospital], then Flash nailed Lawler with a foreign object to pin Lawler. Flash ran to the desk and Grind put Lawler’s crown on Flash. Flash proclaimed himself as the new King!!

----RassleNotes: During the first match, Jimmy Hart made mention of whether the Memphis Wrestling was Prime Time or not?? He said there was a controversy. Hey Hart - it is not in PRIME TIME!!!...I also forgot to mention this last week, but Maclin FINALLY is calling Jon Michael by his name, instead of calling him Christian Jacobs. Good to see them finally put over PP…Clip of Tojo/Jarrett shows just how over Jarrett was in his time. But, he might have been a good worker, but not a good wrestler…Not good to put Foley in on a match where the heat is so good for the Rocker/King feud…After all these months of getting their names right, Maclin called the “Insane Clowns” by the wrong names… Hart made more comments about Watson putting down what he was wearing again. Hart does not seem to like Watson for shoot or they are planning a heel turn for Hart…Good to see the push for Flash. I just hope they keep following the storylines…Funny thing also is that Fire/Flame look so much like Don Bass/Roger Smith it is scary - the same bodies and style. I also can’t tell them apart, but I think Maclin called them by their CORRECT names..LOL…Another good show, which makes it 7 in a row!! One bad match and at least the Clowns were funny during the squash.
