----Corey Maclin opens the show talking about 50 to 75 of wrestling in Memphis. Jimmy Hart is on the phone. They show clips of Hulk Hogan at the FedEx. They are doing a special called “Fallen Superstars” next week.

----JR Title Match: Derrick King with Rashard Devon vs Dustin Starr. Good match. For the finish DK went to the top rope, but “Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interferes with Grind pushing DK off the top turnbuckle. Starr pins DK for the win and title.

----Brian Christopher joins Corey Maclin to commentate. Crowd started to chant “Ali, Ali” and Brian C says hey – there is a big star out here [talking about himself]. TK2/Tatt2 beat Fire/Flame/Gladiator. Another real good bout. Heat on Tatt2 with hot tag to TK2. Everyone in the ring with Fire/Flame getting thrown outside the ring. Tatt2 then did a dive on them almost landing in the crowd. TK2 hit their finisher on Gladiator for the win.

----Mr. Guy Coffee comes out. He has been with Memphis Wrestling for 54 years. Brian C gets on announcer’s desk and acts like he is sleeping. “Opening the Vault” “Wanted Dead or Alive” brand new video featuring Lawler, Corey, Hart, Dundee, Koko, Lance, Dave, Brian C, R&R Express, Tommy Rich, Dutch Mantell, Tojo Yamamoto, Jerry Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett, The Fabs, Eddie Marlin, Eddie Gilbert, Austin Idol, Jim Cornette, MN Express, Jimmy Valiant, Jackie Fargo, Moondogs and more.

----Brian C gets mad because he is not on the video enough. He also talks about his wrestling Cup that he won at the Agri-Center. Kevin White with Sue Young/Mr. Garry White. White beat Pokerface in a good match. Finish had Sue Young get on the apron and start taking her clothes off. White goes to hit Poker, but he moves followed by a ref bump and Poker having White pinned. Mr. White then hit Poker with a chain and Kevin pinned him.

----Corey returned from commercial with Brian C still in his suit. He tells Brian he has a tag team title match in just a few moments that he needs to be dressed. Ali comes out with a glass of red juice. Brian C has turned complete heel by now and is telling Ali if it wasn’t for him, but then Ali would never be champ. Ali throws the juice in Brian’s face to cool him off and Brian gets real mad. This was done real well. Ali is going to super over as a babyface.

NOTES

----Maclin said that Starr won a shot for the JR Title in Atlanta, GA. WTF??....Brian C said when Sue was taking off her clothes to please not let Mr. White start taking off his clothes. That was funny…The new “Opening the Vault” video was real good. The only thing that bothered me was it featured footage of Corey Maclin as a wrestler. There goes that ego again…Brian C was a much improvement over Reggie B Fine…There was only one mention of the upcoming “Thanksgiving Throwdown” 4 day event and that was from DK. I am going to try to get an update on that before the end of the day…Overall a real good show with good wrestling and good angles.
