Memphis Wrestling TV Report 4.14.07

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 4.14.07

----This show was taped in the studio with a big “Memphis Wrestling” sign being the backdrop in the TV studio ring with Corey Maclin and Jimmy Hart sitting the side of the ring. There was very little mention of Jerry Lawler except making note of the change of the match and small clip from the press conference. No in depth report this week as it was just clips of various things. Here is what was shown.

----Corey Maclin interviews Willie Hearton. Thanks to Willie. Hearton is ringing the bell at the Forum.
----FedEx Forum show commercial features only footage of press conference and XWF footage.
----Press Conference footage with other news pieces from Memphis TV.
----Platinum Ticket holders $60 get a "Meet and Greet" with all the legends. First 5,000 get $20 Sam's Town card. Even though I was surprised at the ticket prices, then is a good deal for the first 5,000 people. It was also a great idea from Maclin to get fans down to the “Sam’s Town” shows.
---- Other names that I don't think have been mention on my site to be on the show: Jimmy Vaiant, Buff Bagwell, Dutch Mantell and Kid Kash.
----Corey interviews Paul Wight.
----Greg Valentine vs Jimmy Snuka from Legends PPV.
----Abdullah The Butcher beating up Dutch Mantell -- PR footage from late 80’s during the time Jaggars/Mantell were teaming.
----Lance Russell interview via phone.
----Hulk Hogan interview with Hogan promoting the show and saying that Lawler turned his back on Memphis, TN and put his head between his legs and went back to Stanford, CT.
----Only other match announced: Triple Threat Ladies: Jazz vs Christie Ricci vs ?? They actually called her Christina Ricci. MY GOD!! GET HER NAME RIGHT!!!
