Memphis Wrestling TV Report 1.19.08 - Rerun Season Episode 3

---- Corey Maclin opens alone with a black backdrop. Maclin says that people have been asking him what happened between him and Jerry Lawler.

----Corey Maclin & Brian Teigland are announcing this week. They air a clip of Lawler destroying Maclin’s watch “last week”. Jimmy Hart comes out to give Maclin a new watch. It had a crown on it and Maclin tells him to shove it.

----Clip of “last week” of Brian Christopher beating the Sexy Assassin. Sexy Assassins interview. S Assassin Red [Tim Grind] says they want to talk to Brian C. Grind says that they quit working for Brian C. Brian calls them Sexy Assassins #6 & #7 and demands them to keep their masks on. Grind takes off his mask. They end up throwing Brian into the ring and beating him up. S Assassin Purple does not remove his mask.

----Clip of Jerry Lawler beating Curt Hennig for the AWA World Title is shown. The readers of www.rronews.com just a few weeks back voted this the second most important match in Memphis Wrestling history following the Lawler vs Kaufman match.

----Lawler/Hart come out. Lawler tries to offer the watch to Maclin again. Lawler squashes Shane Matthews. He keeps beating on him when Maclin pulls him off of Shane. Maclin-Lawler have a big pull-apart brawl. After the brawl, Brian C asks Lawler to join him as a tag team partner to “take over” the show and help him get rid of the Sexy Assassins. Brian says does not need Hart as a manager. Brian C says that Hart sounds like a girl. This was good and funny.

----Brandon Groom with Ms Summer. Clip of eight man tag airs. Shock comes out and jumps him.

----Mabel interview. Mable beats El Pancho.

----Bill Dundee interview. He talks about getting well. They air a clip of Bill Dundee with Porkchop Cash vs Jimmy Valiant with Wayne Ferris from January, 1978. Dundee wins by DQ when Ferris hits Dundee.

----Jimmy Hart/Shock came out followed by Koko Ware/Tracy Smothers. $1,000 Battle Royal with Lawler & Brian C throwing out Derrick King. Brian C splits the money with Lawler. Lawler and Brian C argue at the end and Lawler says he will make a decision next week to be with Brian or Jimmy.

----Corey ends the show telling everyone that there will not be a show at Mid-South Coliseum. He also talks about bringing in a partner. That would be all the Terry Funk stuff and I look forward to watching that.

NOTES

----This show originally aired 6.26.04…They had a few thing censored and it was probably dates for the Mid-South Coliseum show…Steele took a bump in the battle royal over the top rope hitting the cameraman.
