RassleResults: Memphis Wrestling Superstars 6.20.08 Detailed Report


----Below is a report that was sent in late last night. It is pretty much a kayfabe report, but it does give details.

Match 1: The Gladiator v/s Ty Hamilton
Good opening contest with Hamilton taking early offense on The Gladiator including a nice body press over the top rope to the floor. The Gladiator was able to catch Hamilton off guard, putting a beating on Hamilton and scoring a few near falls in the process. Hamilton battled back and got The Gladiator off his feet, but was unable to connect with a frog splash. As the referee checked on the downed Hamilton, The Gladiator removed his metal armband and clocked Hamilton with it behind the referee’s back. This allowed The Gladiator to pick up the pinfall and the win.
Winner: The Gladiator

Match 2: Flame and The Grappler v/s The Albino Rhino and Blitz
The early parts of this match saw The Albino Rhino and Blitz on offense until Flame and The Grappler were able to isolate The Albino Rhino for several minutes of double team maneuvers and swap outs. A hot tag to Blitz saw him dominate both Flame and The Grappler until The Albino Rhino paired off with Flame, allowing Blitz to hit a spinning side slam on The Grappler for the victory.
Winners: The Albino Rhino and Blitz

Match 3: “Southern Sensation” Cody Melton w/ “Mr. Big Stuff” Garry White [pictured above] v/s Blitz
This match gave us our first look at a member of “Big Stuff Inc.” for the night, as Cody Melton made his way to ringside with “Mr. Big Stuff” Garry White. Blitz then made his way to ringside, running through a banner much like a football team does at the start of any big game. The early moments of this match saw Blitz using his size and strength advantage over Melton. Melton was able to gain control of the match catching Blitz and hanging him throat first over the top rope. Melton attempted to keep Blitz grounded, relying on neck and leg holds in an attempt to make Blitz submit. Blitz rallied back and hit his spinning side slam, but was unable to make a cover. The end of this match saw Blitz hit a huge should tackle, but before he could go for the cover, Mr. White jumped up on the ring apron, getting the attention of both the referee and Blitz. During all the commotion, Melton retrieved the football helmet of Blitz, knocking him out cold while the referee attempted to get Mr. White off the ring apron. The referee turned around to see Melton crawling over to make the pin on Blitz.
Winner: “Southern Sensation” Cody Melton w/ “Mr. Big Stuff” Garry White

Match 4: “5 Starr” Dustin Starr w/ Su Yung v/s “Selmer’s Own” Michael Gilbert
This match saw the second member of “Big Stuff Inc”, Dustin Starr taking on local police officer and crowd favorite, Michael Gilbert. Gilbert was able to take the early advantage over Starr, but Starr used his experience edge and his valet to turn the tide. Gilbert was able to dig down deep and battle back, causing Starr to call for assistance from Su Yung. Yung threw Starr a chain, but as Starr swung, Gilbert was able to duck and roll up Starr, getting the pinfall. After the match, Yung got in the face of Gilbert, screaming at and hitting the local favorite. Gilbert then left the ring and returned with his handcuffs and baton. As both referees warned Gilbert of the consequences of hitting Yung, Gilbert was attacked from behind by another member of “Big Stuff Inc”, Cody Melton. Mr. White then made his way to ringside. Both referees attempted to stop the attack, but were no match for Dustin Starr, Cody Melton, Mr. White, and Su Yung. The 4-on-1 assault continued, as Starr, Melton, Yung, and White took turns using the baton on a handcuffed Michael Gilbert until “Grandmaster Sexay” Brian Christopher emerged from the locker room wielding a crowbar. Christopher made quick work, clearing the ring of “Big Stuff Inc.” with the exception of Mr. White, who couldn’t manage to escape as quickly as his cohorts. Mr. White attempted a truce with Christopher, extending his hand. Christopher ignored the gesture and laid out Mr. White with a solid punch before checking on the condition of our hometown hero.
Winner: Michael Gilbert

Match 5: “The New Nature Boy” Kevin White w/ Su Yung v/s Jerry “The King” Lawler
With the result of the previous match, Mr. White was nowhere to be found for the start of this contest. Opening moments of the match saw “The King” out wrestle Kevin White, causing “The New Nature Boy” to resort to cheating to get the advantage over Lawler. Mr. White made his way to ringside later in the match, assisting Su Yung in keeping the advantage to the side of their cohort. “The King” was able to rally back from the assault of all three and appeared to be ready to finish off White, when Su Yung and Mr. White entered the ring, causing the disqualification of Kevin White. As Kevin White, Mr. White and Su Yung celebrated their beat down on Lawler, “The King” retaliated and cleared the ring brandishing a steel chair. As the members of “Big Stuff Inc.” left the ringside area, “The King” celebrated his victory with the local fans.
Winner: Jerry “The King” Lawler via disqualification

Match 6: “Dangerous “Doug Gilbert v/s “Grandmaster Sexay” Brian Christopher
Before the match got under way, Christopher was presented with an award recognizing the time he had dedicated helping a local family that has suffered a tragedy. As soon as the award was presented, Doug Gilbert attacked Christopher from behind with his baseball bat and then proceeded to break the award over Christopher’s head, causing the ring to be filled with glass. Gilbert then took the battle outside the ring; throwing Christopher into ringside chairs, tables, and using anything he could get his hands on as a weapon. The match finally made its way back to the ring, where Christopher was able to mount a brief offense, before being caught in a sleeper hold by Gilbert. Christopher countered the sleeper hold with a jawbreaker and climbed to the top rope. As he dove off with a double axe handle, Gilbert pulled the referee in, causing Christopher to hit the ref. Gilbert picked up the referee and threw him out of the ring, then retrieved a chain he had hidden. Gilbert laid out Christopher with a chain shot, but there was no referee to count. As Gilbert signaled for a referee from the back, he dropped both knees onto the shoulders of Christopher. As the other referee made his way into the ring, Christopher countered Gilbert into a rollup to score the victory. After the match, Brian Christopher challenged Doug Gilbert to a rematch at the next show, but the challenge went unanswered.
Winner: Grandmaster Sexay” Brian Christopher
