----Cory Maclin opens the show with news of Ricky Gibson’s death - 1952 to 2006. He then interviews Jimmy Hart and "Captain" Lou Albano via phone. You could barely hear Hart/Albano. Nate The Rat comes out. Maclin mentions that Jerry Lawler’s mom has also suffered a stroke. Maclin announces that “The Cowboys” [Ricky Murdoch/Bill Nasty] will get a tag title match. Brickhouse Brown/Kevin White [the champs] interview to say they will put their titles vs Nate’s hair.
----Hair vs Titles Match: “Cowboys” beat Brown/White to win the Southern TT Titles. Heat on Brown with hot tag to White. Nate hit White with his briefcase after ref bump with Murdoch pinning him. Crowd chanted “Cowboys suck!!” LOL Yes, they do, but this was the best bout they have had since coming in. Murdoch was “on” today and messed up just a little bit.
----Nate interview with Jethro. Jethro does well on interview. Jethro beat “New Flavor” Headrick Hines in a total squash. “Uncle” Grady Watson comes out and talks to Jethro after the match. Jethro throws Grady into the ring and powerbombs. It looked good.
----Reggie B Fine interview with Bodyguard. Fine was wearing a full length fur coat. Horrible interview – Fine acted like he was drunk. His bodyguard was holding a manila envelope which Fine says the contents will destroy Lawler’s career. Fine beats JD McCain in a total squash. JD gets one spot when Fine misses a move into the turnbuckle. JD goes to do the 10 count punch move, when the ref makes him get down. Fine then hits JD with something for the pin and win. Not a good match, but it was not JD’s fault.
----Rashad interview with “Insane Clowns” [Dr. Giggles/Bobo]/Derrick King interview. King/Clowns beat Dustin Starr/Robert Gibson/Mr. America. Faces got a ton of shine. Heat on America with hot tag to Starr. Starr got hit with Clowns’ water bucket with King pinning him for the win. Good match.
----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell. Lance starts talking about his dogs and laughing. I think he said the dogs were breading. No kidding. Lance rambles about tag teams and talks about a few of them. This is followed by a Fabulous Ones video. These pieces are a good idea, but they have not been put together good.
----Show ends with an interview with “Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] inside the studio in a truck. It was a funny interview putting over Grind/Flex doing their urban gimmick. Grind even got in the “Filthy Freaks” name, which the gimmick they do in Ripley, TN.
FINAL NOTES: Condolences to Robert Gibson and family…Get well wishes to Mrs. Lawler…Jethro with a little tweaking can be a big time heel here. I keep saying it – but they need to use his “Devil’s Rejects” gimmick…No name for Fine’s bodyguard….Not a full studio audience…Cory actually said, “We got some idiots that don’t believe it is prime time” LOL...Starr looked good…Clowns had me laughing…Nothing just horrible here this week. Cowboys even did a good job. They got two storylines surrounding Lawler with Nate/Fine, but no Lawler this week.
