Memphis Wrestling TV Report 6.23.07

----Corey Maclin opens the show reminding everyone that July 28, 2007 they will be taping the TV show at the Redbird arena and “Sam’s Town”on July 20.

----Garry White comes out with the “Special Agents” [Alex Krisis/K-Hill]. Spellbinder beats K-Hill by DQ, when Krisis jumped in after about a minute. Spell shoots the web on them. Kevin White is going crazy by the curtain. Garry says you can get anything for money and brings two more “Special Agents” out - it was “Genocide” [Albino Rhino/Maxx Corbin]. Maclin called them “Men in Black”. White was standing behind all four men smiling. Good skit.

----Reggie B Fine interview. Fine shows the fans his “new dance.” Fine says he has phobia about mascots. It was funny the first week, but why have two heels with phobias?? This was horrible.

----”Opening The Vault” returns. Classic footage of Koko “Birdman” Ware. Koko got Dave Brown to dance. Koko vs The Invader. Koko was in fantastic shape. Anybody know if the Invader was “anyone”?? Koko won with a brainbuster.

----Jerry Lawler interview. Lawler talks about Sal Corrente issuing an arrest warrant. Nothing new said here. Lawler shows clips from the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony plugging the new WM DVD.

----Mr. Hughes interview. King Cobra by DQ over Mr. Hughes, who used a chain on him. Not good.

----Tim Grind interview. Grind blames Dustin Starr again for Flex getting hurt. Kevin White comes out with his “Agents” to be Grind’s partner. Grind/White vs Tatt2/Starr. I am not sure of the result of this bout. Starr had Grind pinned and Maclin rang the bell as if he had him pinned, but it was only a 2 count as White broke it up. Spell ran out and White took off running. Spell was stopped by the “Agents”. No contact. Good match. Four of the best local guys on this show.

----Johnny Dotson interview. Johnny Dotson by DQ over Shawn Shultz. A real good match. Both guys looked good here. Shultz should be the pick for Dotson”s next program. Derrick King jumps Dotson. DK superkicks him and then brings out a trash can lid and a stick. He put the lid between Dotsons’ legs and swings the stick hitting Dotson. DK gets out and does an interview with Maclin. Maclin was putting it over good even calling DK “crazy as a betsy bug.” LOL

Notes: They go two weeks with good wrestling shows, but after the first 30 minutes of wrestling on this show only about 3 minutes was used promoting the current product…The last 30 minutes of the show were real good and made up for the first 30 minutes. Actually if you just took the talent that was featured in the last half and add a Lawler angle every week the show would be super..Just a little less than a month away for the next “Sam’s Town” show and Maclin is already doing a good job getting it over”¦Dotson has been perfect the last two weeks selling nut shots. He was helped to get to the back with both angles, instead of just jumping up and going after King.
