Memphis Wrestling TV Report 11.29.08

----We did not get the show to post this week, but here is the review from over at Jimmy's site.

Corey Maclin welcomed everyone to the show. Corey is going it alone, this week, in the studio. No Lawler. Corey said they've got a lot of action in store for us, including some recent action that took place in Memphis Wrestling. Corey hoped everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving and wished everyone a happy belated Thanksgiving.

They go to some action featuring a music video package, highlighting some of Jerry "The King" Lawler's classic moments to the tune of Green Day's hit song, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".

Immediately, following the Lawler video, they switched to video of Memphis Wrestling that originally aired on May 21st, 2005. This segment started off with "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware telling both members of Too Cool 2 that he guaranteed that he could beat both their butts anytime he got ready. This started a match between Koko along with his partner, The Soul Taker, going at it with Too Cool 2.

Too Cool 2(Tim Grind/Flex) got the win over Koko and Soul Taker when Koko jumped in and attacked Too Cool 2, shocking them with his hot stick.

Back in the studio, Corey said there is nothing like experiencing Memphis Wrestling live when it comes to an area near you.

They take a look back at WWE Superstar, The Boogeyman, in action from The River Palace Arena at the Sam's Town Casino in Tunica, Mississippi. The Boogeyman teamed with Flash Flanagan in a contest against Too Cool 2. Flash was on his own at the beginning of the match until The Boogeyman made his grand entrance with worms in mouth. This evened up the sides, with The Boogeyman cleaning house....for about two minutes until he left ringside and went to the back only to return with even more worms. These worms even found a new home in the faces of Flex and Referee Bill Rush. At this time, Corey added, "Oh my goodness! I tell ya, you don't want this guy to give you CPR." They called for the bell on this one. Boogeyman proceeded to dance around the ring, chanting Boogeyman. This led to the crowd joining in on the chant. How did The Boogeyman thank the fans for cheering for him? He rolled outside the ring, spat a worm into the crowd, and ran to the back. Classy.

Corey Maclin said a few words about Kid Kash. They take a look at the K.I.D. in action back from May 15th, 2004 for their one year anniversary show on UPN. Kid Kash, who was managed by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart threatened to put Corey Maclin's face in the special cake they had at the announce table if he didn't hold that microphone up.

Kid Kash defeated Johnny Dotson in a nice fast pace match after connecting with a double underhook piledriver.

Back in the studio, Corey said that The Wrestling Professor was in the other studio. Corey mentioned that they are shooting the show at the Memphis Library on Popular Avenue. Corey gave The Professor January 16th, 1984 as this week's date. They cut to The Wrestling Professor, who answered correctly, by saying this was the time The Fabulous Ones, Stan Lane and Steve Keirn, went against Jimmy Hart and his Moondogs, Rex and Spot. Corey said we thought we had you this time. The Wrestling Professor told Corey, "You and The King try to come on the show and belittle The Wrestling Professor. Bring him down to size, but I'm gonna let you know that I am the true brains of Memphis Wrestling. It's a new era in town and it is The Wrestling Professor!"

They go to the classic footage of The Fabulous Ones squaring off against The Moondogs with Jimmy Hart in their corner. The finish of this one came when Jimmy Hart attempted to hit Steve Keirn in the face with some powder, but Keirn ducked and Hart blasted the Moondog with the powder. Keirn leveled him with a piledriver and attempted the pin, but the other Moondog tried to attack him with his bone. Keirn moved, again, resulting in the Moondog striking his own partner. When this happened, Stan Lane jumped in and pinned the hurt Moondog to get the win for The Fabulous Ones.

They showed more footage from the River Palace Arena at the Sam's Town Casino when Jerry "The King" Lawler battled "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. This was a fun match. There was a guy bandaged up, wearing a mask at ringside, that they said was Derrick King because he was "lit up" by Lawler the week before. Referee Jerry Calhoun took a bump. Lawler dropped the fist on Masters. The bandaged guy jumped in the ring and kicked Lawler. Lawler retaliated, by piledriving him. After Lawler, cleared the ring, Derrick King appeared, without a mask, nailing Lawler with a chain. Masters nonchalantly pinned "The King" while posing, but Lawler reversed the pinning combination and got the three count, defeating Masters. Following the match, Chris Masters and Derrick King got into an argument and began pushing each other, resulting in Derrick King taking the Masterlock Challenge and not fairing too well.

Wood & Carlton P.C. Attorneys at Law Slam of the Week was Derrick King striking Lawler with a chain. Corey Maclin wrapped up the show, saying he'll be looking for everyone, next week.
