Memphis Wrestling TV Report 3.10.07

----Show opens with Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock interview with Fire/Flame/Lord Humongous. Good interview. Blaylock talks about Jimmy Hart’s First Family and says he has the Hollywood Clique.

----“New Nature Boy” Kevin White/Mr. Hughes interview. White/Hughes vs “The Posse” [Simon/Lil Chris]. This was a total quick squash.

----Bill Dundee interview. Dundee puts over the upcoming Boliver, TN show. Good interview.

----Moondog Cujo totally squashes K-Hill in a Moondog match. Another very quick bout.

----Juan Tastic/Tatt2 beat by DQ Insane Clowns [Bobo/Giggles]. This was horrible. Three matches and all three sucked so far. I was really hoping they had got rid of the Clowns.

----Clip of Grizz vs Koko Ware with Corey Maclin jumping in to help. Grizz beats Ware by COR. This was beyond horrible. The Bee Gee’s song “Stayin Alive” was playing. WTF?? I was thinking to myself - is this real or just a dream?? They then do a pull-apart brawl with Maclin/Ware. Why does Maclin have to be in the middle of every thing?? Ware interview aired next.

----Clip of Masters vs Lawler. Lawler comes out of heat with pulling down the strap. Masters cuts him off and then a ref bump. A fake Derrick King with mummy mask [Pokerface] comes out. Lawler piledrives the mummy. The real DK comes out and hits Lawler with a chain. Masters goes to get the ref, but Lawler ends up pinning Masters. Masters and DK get into a shoving match. Masters puts the Master-Lock on DK.

----King interview and he challenges Masters and Lawler. DK wins a squash over Shane Shaw. Johnny Dotson joined Maclin during commentary as the “Sam’s Town” champion.

----They air clip of the Lawler/Hulk Hogan angle from last week. Lawler signs the contract.

----Flex comes out to say his partner Tim Grind of “Too Cool 2” was taking the day off because of the worms that Boogeyman put in his mouth. Flash Flanagan came out and said he had a partner. He showed Flex his fist and then punched him. Flash hit the mic as he was hitting Flex and it sounded good. Flex vs Flash ended in a DCO and was the best thing on the whole show.

----RassleNotes: Maclin says “near capacity crowd” at Sam’s Town, but in reality there were 700 people in I believe a 1200 arena…I hate to see Posse beat like that. This is a team that is so over at every show they work, but do quick jobs here on Memphis TV…Cujo is over, but he looks horrible…Juan – Tastic was bad…The Grizz actually looked like a werewolf. Koko vs The Werewolf might have sold more tickets LOL…I really thought the show could not get worse, but this new format of squashes was worse…The next “Sam’s Town” show is “Nightmare in Tunica” on Friday April 13th, 2007 at the River Palace Arena…Maclin/Jimmy Hart are doing a promotion with http://www.shopathometv.com/ on March 24, 2007 at 11:00 PM…The Hollywood Clique came out during the Flex/Flash brawl, but they did not interfere. They just walked back thru the curtains.
