Memphis Wrestling TV Report 10.11.08

----Jerry Lawler and Corey Maclin open the show promising Lawler vs Austin Idol, Abyss, Wrestling Professor and other stuff.

----Julio Dinero with Ms Michelle vs Scotty “Too” Hotty. Heat started when Michelle tripped Scotty and Dinero took over. Dinero did some good stuff here. Spinning round house looked good. This match showed that you could do some “spots” that meant something in the heat. Good solid match. Crowd was so hot!! Scotty comes out of heat. Dinero knocks Michelle off the apron – Scotty hits bulldog and worm for the pin.

----Delta Fair: Mr. Hughes/”Bad”Sam Shaw vs “Too Kool 2” [Flex/Tim Grind]. Heat on Grind with hot tag to Flex. Finish had Flex cut off. Hughes was holding Grind and Shaw went for a superkick and Grind moved. Flex came out behind Shaw for the pin. Good solid match. After the match Hughes turned on Shaw.

----Lance Russell interview with Corey Maclin. Maclin has the “Memphis Sport” magazine talking about himself being in the magazine. Corey puts over Lance and Lance puts over Corey. Not as good as this could have been.

----Chris Sabin vs Abyss with Tommy Dreamer as special ref. Abyss ended up hitting Dreamer with a chair, and then Dreamer hits Abyss with a kendo stick. Crowd was chanting, “ECW..ECW!!!” Abyss leaves ring and comes back for Dreamer and Sabin to beat him up. Not good.

----“Wrestling Professor” 6.20.87 Jeff Jarrett vs Jack Hart [Barry Horowitz] with Paul E Dangerly [before he was Dangerously]. Have I said this before?? Professor is horrible. Horowitz was such a good solid worker. Spot Moondog jumps in at the finish.

----Lawler vs Austin Idol with special ref Brickhouse Brown. Brown walked out on Lawler with Dangerly/Idol just beating the hell out of Lawler. Jerry Calhoun comes out and Lawler rolls Idol up from behind for the win. Crowd popped big time!!


NOTES

----Hotty match from www.northeastwrestling.com ‘s DVD release New Honesdale Havoc from 4.05.08 and Abyss vs Sabin is from “New Spring Slam Nights” 6.02.06…Sam Shaw has a real good look…As noted last week from the Delta Fair, it was NOT “Los Locos” that worked Derrick King/Johnny Dotson. It was Ramon [of “Locos”] and Rudy Switchblade. Maclin did not even know the difference. Thanks to Chad Johnson for the “head’s up” on that one…It is funny how “Too Kool 2” was ranked in the RRO Top 10 Tag Teams as #1 last year and just been pretty much non existent this year…They have aired all the matches from the Delta Fair now. Mucho Dinero vs Pokerface w/ Rashard Devon was the match of the night and still running as #1 Memphis Wrestling Match of The Year…Lawler/Corey plugged www.wrestlingnewscenter.com with commercial bumpers and a mention…The weekend following Brown turning was the first time I had the chance to go backstage to take photos. Lawler actually told the whole story of Brown turning to me. He also broke Heyman’s jaw that night.
