----Jimmy Hart and Corey Maclin are outside in chairs at FedEx Forum at night after the big show. Maclin/Hart pull someone off the street that is selling roses. Maclin buys them for Hart. The guy says $20, but Maclin gives him $10. Maclin couldn't quit laughing. It was funny.
----Hart/Maclin are on Beale Street in Memphis talking to drunks and then Maclin talks to a horse named Barney.
----"Opening the Vault" with Jimmy Hart interview. He is surrounded by Dennis Coundry, Norvell Austin and the Assassin [Don Bass]. "First Family" had just turned on Bobby Eaton. Coundry/Austin were two of the founding members of "Midnight Express" and both were damn good on the mic. The Assassins/Norvell Austin vs Jim Jameson/Bobby Fulton/Robert Crow - total squash.
CLIPS FROM THE CLASH
----Abdullah The Butcher vs Al "The Dog" Greene clips. Abby had a manager, but he was never acknowledged?? Who was it?? Lots of blood as they fought all around ringside inside the barriers.
----The Assassins with "Big Cheese" Sal Corrente Bubba The Love Sponge/Brutus Beefcake - Bubba was bad [but I have seen worst “veteran” wrestlers], but the crowd popped huge for him. Bubba did a splash from the second rope. Beefcake cut Sal's hair after the match. Beefcake was looking his age, but his body is in great shape.
----"Too Cool 2" [Tim Grind/Flex] vs Kid Kash/Ricky Morton. Into the heat with Flex/Grind on Kash. The hot tag spot was messed up when Kash came out of double clothesline. It looked like Kash tried to double DDT them, but then got backdropped. It looked like it almost killed Kash. Hot tag to Morton with Grind/Flex selling like crazy. Double dropkick on Flex for the pin.
----Hulk Hogan vs Paul Wight clips aired. Match clip starts with Wight putting Hogan into a bearhug at about the 10 minutes into the 15 minute match. Both Wight and Hogan looked in great shape. Well, Hogan did with his upper body, but you can tell his knees kill him. This was typical Hogan match, as I have seen the complete bout. This was not a mat classic, but the fans go into it. It would have been a huge reaction at Wrestlemania when Hogan did the slam on Wight.
----I enjoyed this show because it would good for them to show clips of a show that isn’t even 24 hours old when this show aired. I usually don’t like Maclin/Hart doing goofy stuff, but them on Beale Street was fun…The “Opening the Vault” piece was good also. …It will be interesting to see if these clips will equal rating numbers. The clips were from a camera that was far off, but I noticed there were up close cams, so that will probably be for their DVD release.
