Memphis Wrestling TV Report 6.09.07

----Corey Maclin kicks off the show talking about "Sam's Town". "Too Cool 2" [Tim Grind/Flex] come out for an interview. Maclin tells them their match defending their titles vs mystery team. TC2 beat "Naughty By Nature" [Rude/Pokerface] in a real good bout. Heat on Poker after a super bump over the top. Hot tag on Rude with Rude doing a TKO on Flex. Finish had Grind use the belt on Rude to help Flex pin him. Another candidate for TV match of the year.

----Tatt2/Shawn Shultz beat by COR Kevin White/Austin Lane with Hollywood Jimmy when the Spellbinder's music started to play and the lights went out. Lane/White/Hollywood ran off. Good match for the time it lasted with Tatt2's shine – he was looking real good. I would love to see these 4 guys with 15 minutes. Spell came out with a cane with a skeleton head on it that had fire shoot out of it.

----Mr. Hughes interview. Hughes calls Renee a cow and tramp.

----"Sam's Town" card June 15, 2007 : Shawn Shultz/Austin Lane vs Dustin Starr/Tatt2...Johnny Dotson vs Derrick King for the JR Title..Kevin White vs Spellbinder...Rocky The Redbird/Bill Dundee vs Reggie B Fine/From the Hood Mascot...Diva Title Match: Jazz vs Ms Passion...Southern Tag Team Title Match: "Too Cool 2" [Flex/Tim Grind] vs Doug Gilbert/Rodney Mack...Handicap Match: Renee/Jerry Lawler vs Mr. Hughes...Main Event: Cage Match - Koko Ware/Corey Maclin/Jimmy Hart vs "the Big Cheese" Sal Corrente/Assassins.

----Jerry Lawler/Renee video interview. Lawler was wearing a Superman shirt. Good interview.

----Reggie B Fine interview with Rashard Devon and Derrick King. Fine calls Rashard "Manager of the Year"!! DK says he beat all the Dotson including "Mama Dotson". LOL Fine/DK beat Simon Reed/Dustin Starr. Heat on Starr with hot tag to Reed. Fine backdrops Starr over the top turnbuckle and DK superkicks Reed for the win. Fine/DK argues about who is going to pin Reed, and then they both pin him. Another good match.
----Jimmy Hart interview at XWF headquarters. LOL When was the last time that XWF actually had a show??

----Corey calls out his father to give him a "Father's Day" present. Corey gives his dad a car. The Assassins jump Corey and Dad. Koko Ware comes to help. Sal joins them in beating up Ware/Corey/Dad. This was good in parts and bad in others. Assassins tore Dad's shirt. Dad did not sell good. At one point Dad was punching one of the Assassins, which was hilarious. Assassin attempt to hit Corey wth a bat, but hit the windshield of Dad's car. And then he just continues to beat up the car until Corey made the save for the car. Corey, Dad and Koko interview finished the show. Interview was good and I even liked Koko here.

----Notes: Rude/Pokerface have been working here as "Insane Clowns" and I am praying they are done with that gimmick. They looked great and Rude had a "go Poker go" chant going good...What about a Memphis "Clique" with DK/White/Lane with Hollywood and feud with them Starr/Shultz/Dotson. But, since I said that they will never do it. LOL...They have special that airs on Thursday at 10:00 PM...They are running a buy one ticket and get one free deal if you pick up a voucher at a local car lot...BTW, Rashard was voted "Manager of the Year" on this site!! Thanks guys!!...This was one of the better shows of the year for the wrestling. Three good bouts. Angle at the end was good. I have said this before - most of the Maclin angles are good, but wouldn't they be better if you were actually pushing wrestlers in the lead babyface role??...Corey and company did a great job promoting the “Sam Town” show.
