Memphis Wrestling TV Report 3.17.07

----The show opens the show plugging www.shopathometv.com appearance with Jimmy Hart and Corey Maclin.

----Flex comes out for an interview. Flex says he told his partner to stay home again today. Flex puts over Hulk Hogan vs Jerry Lawler match.

----Flash Flanagan/Bill Dundee beat by DQ "Insane Clowns" with Rashard. Heat on Flash. Flash had Bobo pinned, but Jerry Calhoun stopped counting for no reason. I guess he was waiting on Flex, who jumped in hitting Flash. Kevin White and Mr. Hughes jump in also. Dundee does a good interview after the match.

----Kevin White/Mr. Hughes beat Tatt2/Sam Shaw. A squash with White/Hughes giving them very little. Shaw looked bad on the hot tag waiting on White. White used a swinging neckbreaker for the finish, but Shaw bumped wrong. White/Mr. Hughes interview after the match - Flash/Dundee jump them.

---- "Hollywood Clique" [Fire/Flame/Lord Humongous II] with Jimmy Blaylock out for an interview. Fire/Flame/Huey beat O'Neal/Bishop/Oz. O'Neal looked good here. BOS walk out on O'Neal when Rashard comes out. Huey pins O'Neal.

----They aired classic clips of a Hulk Hogan promo video. Hogan had hair on his chest. LOL They then air the Lawler "Hall of Fame" piece from WWE.

----"Opening the Vault" segment with Adrian Street vs Speedy Tall Tree. This piece was less than a minute. Why would you air something like this???

----"Sam Town" Title Match: Johnny Dotson beat Nick Bondage by DQ. Maclin actually informed us during this match that Bondage had a mask on and you could not see his face. LOL Good match. Dotson came out of heat with fire. Bondage sprayed black mist into Dotson's face for the DQ.

----Derrick King interview - He challenges Lawler again. Moondog Cujo comes out and chases DK in and out of the ring. Cujo won by DQ over DK when the "Hollywood Clique" jumped Cujo. Crowd barking loud for the Moondog. He is over with this TV crowd. King had as good as a match as you could have with this guy. Cujo actually started not selling three guys and ran them off with his shovel.

----Tim Grind was not at the tapings last week, so he was not on either show....Macklin got the Clowns mixed up...Dunn's Transmission commecial aired with Brian Christopher, Jerry Lawler and Lawler's gf Renee...Huey [Gary Nations} is in the best shape he has been in in years. They just start calling him Humongous II for no reason. Maclin said that he some kin to Lord Humongous...Blaylock is a good change from having Nat The Rat out there...They promote "Sam's Town" show on 4.13.07 "Nightmare In Tunica". [Is Ken Wayne going to be there??] I have been told that Lawler will not be on this show, so it will be interesting how they draw. They are promising WWE superstars. The last big show they had without Lawler drew 300 fans...Anton Levigh [area worker] looks like Speedy Tall Tree...All the babys put over the Hogan vs Lawler match...Why would you defend the "Sam's Town" Title on TV?? Title is a trophy...Nothing much on this show other than further the Dundee/White feud and push of Lawler vs Hogan. Dotson/Bondage had a good match, but could not save the show. Crowd was hot during the Cujo/DK bout.
