Memphis Wrestling TV Report 1.27.07 - More detailed report

Show opens with Cory talking about who's on the card for today, and
about Samstown.

Cory calls out Kevin White. White says all of his partners have
turned on him and he needs someone who can watch his back and that is
Bill Dundee(I guess he forgot Bill turned on him before).
Dundee
comes out and says he doesn't know what's wrong with Dustin and
Kevin, talks about Kevin dancing. Kevin tells Bill that Bill used to
dance in the ring. Bill and Kevin head to the ring as Rashard and the
Blackout squad come out.

Kevin White and Bill Dundee beat the Blackout squad: Kevin basically
handled the whole match. After the match Bill complains about Kevin
showboating but they can work it out. Bill begins to leave and Kevin
jumps and throws him in the ring. Tatt2 comes out to try and help and
gets beat up. Dustin finally came out and ran Kevin off.

Flash Flash Flanagan/Tim Grind come out. Tim asks Cory if he knows a
good bailbondsman to bail Flex out of 201. Flash tells Flex not drop
the soap. Funny stuff.

Flash Flanagan/Tim Grind beat "Picture Perfect" [Jon Michael/Chris
O'Neal]. Not a great match. Tim used the title to hit Michael I
believe and Flanagan pinned him but he was so close to O'Neal, O'Neal
could made the save, it looked stupid.

Cory announces Sam's Town March 2nd(all family show). Lawler and him
will be there the Feb. 10th(I believe) to promote and giveaway Free
night hotel stay, buffet coupons and ringside tickets for the event.
Eyewitnessnews.
com also flashed under that so you might could
register who knows.

Jimmy Hart taped interview. suppossedly still in Dallas. Has wrestlig
figures of him, Hogan and Ed Leslie, says they should throw Leslie out
(couldn't agree more) and put Lawler in the place and they sell at
the Hogan/Lawler, which we still don't know when or if it will
happen. Hart says it could be at Sam's Town, Coliseum(nope, they're not
even going to the Schools use it) or outdoors(well it better be in
the Spring when it's not to cold or way to hot).

Cory is back inside at Sam's Town, talks about the stuff again. At the
end, some old lady is going to walk through but hesitates Cory says
go ahead and then says he likes her poker shirt. Woman and Cory laugh
(weird moment)

Lance Russell Opening the vault. Talks about Stan and Steve, Then
shows video of Stan and Steve fighting the Sheepheaders(
not the
Bushwackers)
, then Buddy Wayne and his team at the Coliseum. Next
week it's the Moondogs should be good(this has to be my favorite part
of the show).

Battle Royal for TV Title: Cory says that it's a new title since UPN
switched to CW30(no mention of Brian Christopher)
: Clowns and
Pokerface and his partner were in there so hopefully the Clowns
gimmick will be over soon. It gets down to Jethro, Lawler and DK, Nat
hands DK a cane while he distracts the ref, while Jethro holds
Lawler. Lawler ducks as DK hits Jethro and knocks him out of the
ring. Lawler and DK are the winners and will face off next week for
the TV title.

Thoughts: Glad Sam's Town will be a family show would hate to see the
kids locked out of this, plus I haven't seen a wrestling show do a
good gate without the whole family being let in. Also hope people
know that Hogan/Lawler is not headlining the first show but I think
that's what Cory is counting on though that people will think that.

Opening the vaults reminds ya how things were so good when we had a
tag team division.

White turning heel is a good thing, he still can't do a good
interview with exception of a few, who can really can in Memphis
wrestling.

I hope DK wins the title, he needs to, if the King wins then the
title is meaningless.
