Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.25.06

----Corey Maclin joins with commentary. Maclin commentary was dubbed in from tapings last weekend. They did a very good job making the TV viewers think Corey was there live.

----Derrick King with Reggie B Fine over Matt Foley. This was pretty much a squash. Foley got to do a few moves. Fine/King beat up Foley after the match and Tatt2 made the save with a chair.

----“Picture Perfect”[Jon Michael/Chris O’Neal]/Tatt2/”The Posse”[‘Lil Chris/Simon Reed] over by DQ Fire/Flame/”Cowboys”[Ricky Murdoch/Bill Nasty]/Giggles. Bobo switch in and out with Giggles without Corey saying anything. Everybody looked good for this bout. “Cowboys” didn’t even look bad. ‘Lil Chris is green, but was well protected.

----Jethro wth Nate the Rat beat Drew Donavon. Nate the Rat called Jethro – “the Hillbilly Assassin”. I guess that is his big change in gimmick and name. Jethro uses a chain to beat Drew in a total squash. Not very good. Grady Watson comes out to tell Nate he seen Jethro use the chain. Watson pushes down Nate – Watson runs from Jethro. Horrible!!

----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell – Jerry Lawler is featured this week. Lawler clip with Lance telling story of a 15 year old Lawler would send in sketches into Russell of the Memphis matches. They showed some of the sketches. Lawler vs Terry Funk – no DQ match clips aired next. This is one of my all time favorite bouts. Next was video to “I Walk Alone” by Green Day, which I think was just an old video that they put a new song behind it. Next week: More Jerry Lawler.

----Jerry Lawler/Kevin White/Dustin Starr beat Flash Flanagan/”Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex]. Good match. Heat was on White with hot tag to both Lawler/Starr. Starr went outside the ring with Grind in the crowd. White got hit with a foreign object and Flex had him pinned, but White kicked out. Lawler then rolled Flash up from behind. Heels beat up babys after the match and left them in the ring.

RassleNotes: Tatt2 and ‘Lil Chris did a “Naughty by Nature” trademark double team drop down dropkick move on Bobo …Corey admitted he could not tell Bobo/Giggles apart, but he has been able to for weeks??...He also was calling Jon Michael – “Michaels”…Why does Jethro have to use a chain to win?? Why does he still come out to the Beverly Hillbillies theme, when he doesn’t want to be a Hillbilly?? I am confused???....Well, they finally broke their streak of 8 weeks – this was not a must see show. The 10 man was good, but had no meaning – why not try to start a feud with two of these teams?? The main event was the only thing worth watching on the whole show and maybe the Funk vs Lawler clips.
