Memphis Wrestling TV Report 9.13.08

----Jerry Lawler and Corey Maclin open the show. They talk about the Olympics and mention Kurt Angle is going to be on the show.

----Lawler/Maclin talk about Clowns. Maclin says he likes Doink. Lawler talks about his feud with Doink, while Corey just sits there and laughs. He just loooovveess Jerry Lawler. LOL

----Doink/Talia Madison vs Rob Eckos/Alere Little Feather from Northeast Wrestling. Heat on Doink with hot tag to Talia. Finish has Doink spraying silly string on Eckos and Madison hitting a flying press from the top rope for the pin & win. Nothing horrible, nothing special.


----“Wrestling Professor” segment. 6.03.83 is the date this week. “Sheepherders” [John Boyd/Luke Williams] vs Jerry Lawler/Bill Dundee. All heat on Dundee. Not even a hot tag here, but Lawler got mad and jumped in. Finish was Boyd hitting both Lawler/Dundee with something in his wrist pad and pinning Dundee for the win. Sheeps beat up Dundee after the match, then Lawler makes the save with a chair. Video went black during some of the bout.

----Lawler/Maclin talk about Byhalia, MS show. Koko Ware, Corey Maclin and Brian Chistopher scheduled to appear. They also put over www.kinglawler.com.

----Christian Cage vs Kurt Angle from Northeast Wrestling. A real good bout. All the young guys need to take a look at the way this bout was worked just the psychology. They actually had two double knockouts building for the finish. Angle hit the Angle slam after a ref bump. No pin. Cage hit the “Unprettier” with Angle kicking out. They then did a fantastic series of each going for finishers until Angle grabbed the ankle lock for the win.

---Lawler vs Joey Mercury. They did a variation of the “Tennessee spot” with all bodyslams. Mercury hit Lawler with his necklace [chain] to start heat. He used the chain during the heat – was he trained by Don Bass?? Lawler with the comeback pulling down the strap and ends up getting chain from Mercury, but ref stops him. Lawler piledrives Mercury for the win. Crowd was into it, but a typical Lawler bout.

NOTES

----9.20.08 has Memphis Wrestling in Byhalia, MS at the Byhalia Middle School…Northeast bouts the DVD “New Electric City Slam” from 11.03.07. Check out www.northeastwrestling.com...At one point during the Lawler/Mercury bout the crowd was chanting “You got fired” at Mercury….Funny thing is that I have seen that Lawler bout over a 100 times – usually Lawler vs Bass. LOL But, I have never seen Don jump from the top rope or have a tan….Not a great show, but the Cage vs Angle is worth going out of your way to watch...Look for the new poll and full show to be posted on www.rasslinriotonline.com.
