Memphis Wrestling TV Report 2.24.07

----Corey Maclin opens with Reggie B Fine coming out. Fine was mad because Derrick King got burned.

----Fine is still out with Maclin. They show the angle where Lawler burned DK. DK then comes out with a mummy mask, because he was burned so badly. DK is promising that Jerry Lawler will pay for burning him. Lawler comes out and runs King/Fine off with a chair. Lawler then does a promo talking about Chris Masters at Sam’s Town this coming Friday night. Masters will have a $10,000 Challenge from a fan in the crowd. Good way to promote him and get the marks out. Another video interview from Chris Masters. Good interview. Lawler then pretty much promises to burn Masters.

----Jethro/Mr. Hughes/Kevin White beat “The Posse” [Chris/Simon]/Tatt2. Total squash with all the heat on Tatt2 with Posse not even getting in the ring. Hughes finished Tatt2 off with a chokeslam and pinned him. After the match the heels jumped the babys and Bill Dundee and Cujo Moondog with Grady Watson made the save.

----Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock with Jethro came out. Blaylock is now managing Jethro. Jethro says “Loser Leaves Memphis” Match has an added stip with Jethro vs Cujo. Cujo runs off Jethro with shovel. If I understood the stip right, it also includes Grady Watson leaving town.

----Dundee comes out and does an interview then talking about Kevin White. Corey was calling White, “The New Nature Boy”. OMG!!! That is bullshit!! I love the new heel White, but please do not call him that!!

----Jimmy Hart was on the phone saying something about him/Corey/Grizz going to a game later this week with Grizzles vs Jazz, so they will probably work an angle there. Koko Ware comes out and says Hart is on his side. Corey brings up an angle from long time ago with Lawler/San Diego Chicken vs Jesse Ventura/Jimmy Hart. Grizz came out with two girls from Grizzles dance club. Koko jumps the Grizz and beats the hell out of him. I loved that. Corey makes the save with a trashcan. Grizz then tells Corey he wants an “Anything Goes” Match vs Koko Friday night. It was fun watching Koko beat up Grizz, but Corey making the save was horrible. How can a heel be afraid of an announcer?

----“Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex]/Flash Flanagan come out to present Flex with a belt, so he can be part of the Southern Tag Team champions. Grind takes Flash’s belt and gives it to Flex. Grind then says he has Flash’s belt backstage. He goes and brings out a toy belt. Flash gets mad and hits Flex. They beat up Flash in the ring. This was exactly where I thought this angle was going, but I thought they were going to turn Flex instead of Flash. Good swerve.

----They air a Smackdown match with Boogeyman vs The Miz bout. Flash comes out to announce he will be Boogeyman’s Mystery partner Friday night vs “Too Cool 2”.

----Chris O’Neal/Johnny Dotson beat Fire/Flame by COR when Dotson pulled Fire’s mask off [I think it was him]. Heat on O’Neal with hot tag from Dotson. Dotson pulled the mask off and Fire/Flame ran out. Good quick bout.

----Old Masters video aired after Corey went over the card for Sam’s Town again.

----Lawler comes out for another promo about Masters and Sam’s Town. He puts over the show again. Good job from Corey and Lawler promoting the show.

RassleNotes: Hughes did a dropkick to Tatt2 for the second week in a row. As I said last week, Hughes has looked real good here…Same matches we listed last week, but special ref for The Grizz vs Koko Ware is Jimmy Hart…They have a Sam’s Town Special Thursday night 11:05 PM…Corey announced an internet winner for a package deal. How did they win online when their site isn’t even working??...If you buy a Sam’s Town ticket you can get a VIP ticket for NBA game with Memphis Grizzles vs Detroit Pistons for $15 for the next night…Loser Leaves Memphis for Jethro vs Cujo?? Maybe they are getting rid of Cujo very quickly!! I hope…Flash is so good on the mic. He will do well as a baby. He gets the rub right after turning face, so it will be good for him…Dotson gets the hot tag again. He should have taken the heat…Still no mention of the $21 and $26 ticket prices. SEW runs a show in Memphis on the same night with Sid Vicious vs Doug Gilbert main event for only $10. It will be interesting to see if they draw anyone…This show pretty much sucked.
