Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.24.07

----Corey Maclin opened the show before going to the crowd telling the fans that the father of Koko Ware, JW Ware 77 years old, passed away the day before Thanksgiving.

----Maclin shows the clips from last week of the Ali/Brian Christopher angle. Reggie B Fine video interview saying he is suing Brian C because he lied last week. Then he rambled on and I am not sure what he was talking about. He then took a drink of what he called homemade corn whiskey and said that Corey Maclin’s daddy made. LOL

----Derrick King/Johnny Dotson with Rashard Devon. Good interview with DK putting over “Too Kool 2” and even the Ali/Brian C angle. They also have a best 2 out of 3 falls match – Winner gets Southern Tag Team Title Match Shot – later in the show.

----Fire/Flame beat Dustin Starr/Tatt2. Good psychology. Good match. Heat started when Flame hit Starr from outside the ring and Fire hit him with closeline. Tatt2 looked a bit confused at this point. Tatt2 hit the 619 on Fire and had him pinned, but Flame loaded his mask and hit him, so Fire could pin him.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interview. Real good interview.

----Kevin White with Sue Young beat Chris Lexx. Garry White comes out and joins Corey. Heat started when Lexx grabbed Young and White got him from behind. Lexx had a bit of comeback, but White cut him off, then used his finisher “Whitehouse Neckbreaker” for the win. Good match.

----“Opening The Vault” with “Salute to Fallen Superstars” video. Andy Kaufman, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, Bam Bam Bigelow, Billy Joe Travis, Bruiser Brody, Curt Hennig, Dream Machine, Eddie Gilbert, Joe Luduc, Junkyard Dog, Moondog Spot, Plowboy Frazier, Ric Rude, Ricky Gibson, Hawk, Sam Bass, Sputnik Monroe, and Tojo Yamamoto were featured.

----Brian C interview. Brian talks about his suit getting messed up from the red juice last week and Brian says that he wants Ali to come out and apologize. Ali comes out. Brian tells Ali to get on his hands and knees and say that throwing the juice was an accident. Ali does not apologize and throws the Southern Tag Title down and says that Ali can have both belts. As Ali bends down, Brian C hits him with a trashcan lid and starts to beat on him with it. Babyfaces come out and make the save. Angle was good.

----2 out of 3 Falls: Shot at Southern Tag Team Titles – “TK 2” vs Dotson/DK with Rashard. 1st Fall was all babyface shine. Double down after Grind hit a spinebuster on Dotson. Hot tag to Flex, which ended with them doing their finisher followed by Rashard hitting Flex with the laptop with Dotson pinning Flex. 2cnd Fall was all heat on Flex. TK2 tried to do their finisher, but Flex was clipped by Dotson with DK falling on him for the quick pin. Too rushed, but a good match.

NOTES

----Fire/Flame match went longer than it was suppose to…While Mr. White joined Maclin they were talking about “fallen legends”, when White said don’t mention Tojo Yamamoto because he don’t like Japanese. LOL BTW, at the live events the Mr.White/Young work together more than on TV…Lexx is managed by Young at TLCW in Ripley, TN…It was good seeing the guys honored, but the song with the “fallen superstarts” just did not fit the clips. A lot of clips of Power Pro Wrestling were featured. [very clear quality stuff] One clip was shown of Hawk vs Lawler from the PPW studio…11 minutes left in the show and they still had 2 minutes left of commercials to end the show and they bring out the teams for the 2 out of 3 falls match…Best I can figure out, Flex was suppose to kick out of that 2cnd fall of the match. LOL DK/Dotson vs Ali and ??? next week for the tag straps…Dressing rumors here are that Dotson pushed for Starr to get the JR, so him/DK will be the tag team champions…For the babyface save on Ali, Cody Melton & The Grappler came out. Both are students of Kevin White. Grappler was not wearing his mask! Kayfabe!! LOL…Another good show.
