Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.10.07

----I would like to comment on something before giving the report this week. Memphis Wrestling was running a commercial this week. Guess who was in the commercial?? Tatt2 doing flying moves?? Derrick King doing a good interview?? Jerry Lawler – you know the guy who is on RAW every week?? What about Brian Christopher or Ali Stevens?? Nah. It was just Corey Maclin telling you about Memphis Wrestling. You can’t just stand up there and tell people about wrestling and hope they watch it – you got to show it to them!!! I guess Maclin feels he is such a big star that he will get the product over.

THE REPORT

----Corey Maclin is joined this week again with Reggie B Fine. They spend the first few minutes go over what Reggie is wearing. Maclin says he wants to be called “Master” Reggie B Fine now.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interview. Flex says that Maclin is not a “shorty” anymore, he is “C-Mac”. Grind/Flex beat Gladiator/Blitz. Not good, not bad. Heat on Flex with hot tag to Grind. Gladiator was not feeding Grind. Blitz looked huge in this gimmick. He looked a little sloppy, but it might be him getting use to the mask. Blitz/Gladiator double team move using their headgear backfired and they got double pinned.

----Kevin White/Sue Young/Garry White interview. White talks about getting rid of Bill Dundee and Spellbinder. Mr. White said “I want to get rid of her” pointing at Young. White beat Crime. Crime looked a bit lost. Not good. Crime come out of heat and threw White into the ref, but no bump as White just grabbed Bill Rush and held him as Young came behind Crime with a nutshot. White used his finisher on Crime. White needs a name for the finisher.

----“Insane Clowns” [Bobo/Giggles] with Rashard Devon. Not good. Ali Stevens/Brian Christopher come out. Match is made – Southern Tag Team Titles vs Clowns’ masks. Brian C/Ali beat Clowns. Heat on Brian with hot tag to Ali. Ali looked good on the hot tag. They ended with Brian C doing the hip hop drop for the finish. They took the masks off the Clowns and they were wearing another mask underneath. Rashard hit Ali and Brian C with a keyboard. They went down, but then Rashard just waited around for them to make a comeback on him along with piledriving him and whipping him with a belt.

----Show returns with Brian C holding both the Southern Tag Team Titles. Brian then walks over to the desk holding them and says Ali would not be a champion if it wasn’t for him and walks off.

----“Opening the Vault” with “Monday Night Memories” video by Jimmy Hart. Jerry Lawler video also aired. They rush the guys to do the matches, but wasted 6 minutes on these clips.

----Reggie B Fine claims to have dirt on Maclin. He was promising a surprise about Maclin all day. Fine says he has a $8 light bill in his mansion. He shows a photo of Maclin’s partner. This was a joke about local politics and it was horrible!!! Just some more wasted time.

----Derrick King/Johnny Dotson beat Chris Lexx/Tatt2. Very good match. One of the better bouts of the year on TV. Heels started heat after Tatt2 tried to go for a 619 on Dotson, but DK caught his feet. DK held his body outside the ring with his head inside the ring and Dotson then jumped off the top rope with a legdrop. Dotson looked real good here beating on Tatt2 outside and inside the ring. Hot tag after Tatt2 hit Dotson with a swinging 360 DDT. Lexx looked real good on the hot tag even jumping from the top rope with a double closeline. DK threw Tatt2 out of the ring and Dotson cut Lexx off. DK did a reverse atomic drop on Lexx and then Dotson hit him with a running neckbreaker off the ropes.

----DK/Dotson interview. TK2 comes out. They both do a rap which ends with TK2 slugging DK/Dotson. They brawled all over the studio knocking down the infamous “blue box” and went into the crowd. Great stuff!!

NOTES

----Blitz is area worker Maxx Corbin, who has been working here as Hurricane Maxx. He is doing a football player gimmick and looks real big with pads and such. He is under a mask. He needs some “color” to his uniform. This is the kind of big heel that Lawler should love working…Fine was calling Mr. White “Boss Hog”…How can a manager get any heat in Memphis??...Brian C got a busted mouth from the keyboard…Apparently, Ali/Brian C had words for shoot and Ali threw down the title belts. That was not shown on TV. Why turn either of these guys???...The last 14 minutes of this show was some of the best stuff of the year. Too bad rest of it wasn’t as good. I didn’t really think the other stuff was that bad until the ending with the tag match and the brawl…Fine was bad this week – real bad. Maclin and he were talking about old TV shows during one of the bouts.
