Memphis Wrestling TV Report 12.22.07

----Corey Maclin is joined again this week by Jimmy Hart for the last live taping until further notice.

----Derrick King/Johnny Dotson with Rashard Devon/Mr. White/Sue Young interview. DK promises revenge on Lawler today for Garry White. Lawler comes out with Tatt2 and Grady Watson. Lawler/Tatt2 beat DK/Dotson by DQ. Heat was on Tatt2. Tatt2 did a 619 on Dotson for a double down. Hot tag to Lawler and Dotson to King. Lawler pulls down the strap and everyone bumps. Rashard/White/Young jump in for the DQ. Lawler bumps everyone again and then spanks Young. Good match.

----“Opening The Vault” this week featured Austin Idol vs Jim Neidhart. This is the same match from the “Wrestling Gold” series. Randy Hales was doing commentary. Hart was managing Idol here as a babyface. Hart caused a DQ to save Idol from getting pinned. Spoiler was out there also and with Neidhart they were going to beat up Hart. Idol made the save and then Hart/Idol ran them out of the ring. Fun stuff.

----Jimmy Hart is alone talking about the old times selling Cokes for Guy Coffee to get in the wrestling business. Brian Christopher comes from the back with Corey Maclin. Brian C says that Maclin has a bad clock. Brian C claims he will beat two men in less than 2 minutes. Brian C beats Crime/Chris Lexx, but in over 2 minutes. Brian missed a legdrop from the top rope and the guys made a comeback. Brian pushed Crime into the turnbuckle and he went headfirst into Lexx’s groin. Brian used a chain to pin Crime.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interview. They “freestyle” a Christmas rap. Funny.

----TK2 beat Gladiator/Pokerface. Heat on Grind. Hot tag to Flex. They went to do a double team move on Pokerface, but Gladiator pulled him out of the ring. Flex then military pressed Grind over the top rope and he did a dive onto both Poker/Gladiator. Gladiator then got in the ring and Poker went after Grind. Grind sent Poker into the ringpost. Grind/Flex did a double team move [Flex did an elbow followed by a Grind legdrop] to pin Gladiator. Good match.

----Koko Ware came out with some of the babyfaces and Tom Nunnery to sing Christmas songs. Derrick King interrupted them. He told Nunnery to give him his guitar and Tom hit him with it. That looked real bad. Koko then got the guitar and gave DK a second shot that was good. They went off the air wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

NOTES

----Next week “Best of 2007” show with Corey and Hart from Corey’s house. Last year that show was horrible!!!...They also announced that for the next 2 months they will be doing Classic shows…I forget about this all the time, but Randy Hales was real good on commentary on the old Mid-South Coliseum clips…Crime and Lexx both looked good in their comeback…Second week in a row that TK2 changed stuff up a bit and did not do your typical hot tag match. Good stuff. They had like 3 double downs with the first one just having Poker get a tag and not Grind during the heat…This show was good, but knowing that they are not coming back to live TV until 2008, there were no storylines and such…Maclin says that the shows in starting in January will feature Memphis Wrestling from CW 30.

NO CLIP OF THE WEEK THIS WEEK DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
