Memphis Wrestling TV Report 10.06.07

----Corey Maclin opens the show and is joined by Reggie B Fine to do commentary. Derrick King/Johnny Dotson with Rashard Devon interview. They show clip of last week of them beating up Chris Lexx/Dustin Starr. DK says that when they get done with Grady Watson, Maclin can write him a check for his doctor bills. Maclin then says, “I will let Curley write the check.” LOL

----Manager Gets 10 Lashes With Strap: Starr/Lexx with Grady Watson beat DK/Dotson. Good bout. Heat on Starr with hot tag to Lexx. It was sort of a clusterduck at this point, but it ended with Watson pushing DK off the top turnbuckle with Lexx pinning DK. Lexx/Starr got to handcuff Rashard to the ropes and give lashes to him. DK/Dotson left the ring and then came back with a chair and a crutch. They left Lexx/Starr lying in the ring.

----Jerry Lawler interview with Cleveland Indians shirt. Lawler puts over the Indians and he actually has a bobblehead of Travis Haffner. The bobblehead was given away to the fans last Saturday night and has Travis wearing the WWE Title belt. Lawler’s picture was also on the box of the bobblehead. Kevin White with Sue Young & Mr. White walked out. Lawler ask if anyone had an egg and then they would have “Egg Sue Young.” Young ask to see the bobblehead and then says that when she was young she played with dolls, but look what she does to them now. She then throws down the doll busting it into a lot of pieces. Lawler looks legit pissed here and it was done real good. Young was good on the mic for the first time. Great angle!! But, guess what?? Reggie B Fine messes it all up by saying Lawler has 3,000 of this in his garage. The bobblehead was SUPPOSE TO BE IMPORTANT!!!

----Jerry Lawler beat Kevin White by DQ. Bout was good with Lawler giving White almost all the bout. On the third time with White doing the turnbuckle 10 punch count spot, Lawler gave White two nut shots to get out of it. Lawler pulled his strap down and ended up slugging Mr. White off the apron. Sue Young then jumped in the ring on Lawler’s back for the DQ. Queen Renee came running out and grabbed Young off of Lawler. Renee then threw her in a corner and was beating on her, when finally she and White got away. Renee grabbing Young got a big pop.

----Ali/Brian Christopher interview. Brian was not bad here. He talked about the history of the Southern Tag Team Titles. Brian mentioned The Nightmares and Corey said The Rock ‘N’Roll Express and Bill Dundee/Jerry Lawler as legendary teams that have held them.

----Pokerface beat Maxx of the “Hurricanes.” Good short bout. Maclin still calls him Axx. Maxx gets good heat on Poker. Poker wins with a flying kick out of nowhere without a comeback or anything. Both guys looked good.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] – interview. Southern Tag Team Title Match: Ali/Brian C beat “Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] by DQ when the Gladiator jumped in. Another good bout. A little sloppy in spots, but good. Heat was on Brian C and he let them do things to him. Grind tried an elbow from the top rope and missed, which led to the hot tag to Ali. Ali was all over the place here. Brian jumped from the top rope with a legdrop, when The Gladiator jumps in. Gladiator uses his headgear on both Brian and Ali. TK2 held them as he ran into them with the headgear.

NOTES

----Lexx/Starr should at least wear the same color of tights…Kevin Christian Lawler was the ref for the day…Dotson/DK are getting a major push as a team…Maclin’s comment about Curley and a check was directed at Curley Womack, who promoted the Nash/Hall show in Little Rock. A lot of the local guys left with a check that bounced. Maclin/Fine also talked about Womack later in the show during the Poker vs ‘Cane bout…The Sue Young jokes and character were toned down a bit, except for the comment Lawler made, which was a lot less offensive than anything else that has been said. Young was wearing a new red kimono as part of her gimmick…Good to see a “shout out” from Brian C for my favorite tag team of all time – The Nightmares!!...Reggie was talking about Ali and said something about him being in Memphis before and being on steroids. Maclin said, “I don’t use that word.” LOL…Reggie also ask about the ref and said, “He looks familiar.” And then said he looked like a Womack…Even though he was pretty much horrible as a commentator – worse than Corey – at least I had some good quotes. One of my favorites also in the main event was when Corey started calling everything a big or great move, Fine jumped in and called all the moves. He then said, “What commentating school did you go to?” LOL…I have been told the Gladiator is either Charlie Lear or K-Hill…Last week’s show was so bad, this week had to be an improvement. It was a very good show with solid wrestling and continuous of the storylines established last week. I really hope the ratings are good for this show, since it was much better.
