----Kevin White won by DQ over “Cowboys” when “Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] & Reggie B Fine jump in and were beating up White. BH Brown finally arrives with a chair to clear the ring. He apologizes to White and says it will never happen again. Nothing wrong with the match.
----Derrick King vs Tatt2 [pic to the right] clip from last week. Something I missed last week was that
since King could not win the belt in 5 minutes, Jerry Calhoun gave the match and belt to Tatt2. King jumped Tatt2 and took the belt away hitting Tatt2 with it. DK comes out and Corey announces that Calhoun was suspended for two weeks, because of his decision to give the belt to Tatt2. King is still champ. Corey announces special ref – Chris Rocker. King was surprised because Rocker lost a “Loser Leave Town” match. Rocker pointed out his contract did not say he could not come back and be a ref. Rocker has been working here as Mr. America without any mention of it being him.----JR Title Match – Tatt2 wins by DQ over King. This match was good, but not as good as last week’s match. Tatt2 was not as “on” as he was last week and looked sloppy in spots. They also used a few of the same spots, including Tatt2 getting a foot to the groin trying to do the bronco buster on King. The match ended after King superkicked Tatt2 and then King just punched Rocker for the DQ.
----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell was more on Jimmy Hart with pics of a lot of members of the “First Family”.Austin Idol, Dream Machine, Dutch Mantel and Jimmy Valiant were the first four to join the “First Family”. They showed Assassins, The A-Team, Midnight Express, The Moondogs and many more. Video of Moondogs, “Pretty Young Things” [Norvell Austin/Koko Ware] interview with Hart, Assassins vs “The Fabulous Ones” [Stan Lane/Steve Keirn] with Assassins unmasking [Don Bass/Dirty Rhodes] and Hart bringing out the “A-Team” [same team as the Assassins..LOL] aired. Jim Cornette feature next week.
----“Too Cool 2” [Flex/Grind]/Flash Flanagan beat Mr America/Kidd Kastle/Dustin Starr. They got the heat on America. Double down with hot tag to Kastle. Everyone got in the ring with Flanagan finally cutting off Kastle. Flanagan put Kastle in a tree of woe and then jumped from the top rope [in the same corner as Kastle] and did a double stomp to his head for a clean pin. Match was too short, but nothing wrong with it. At one point it looked as if Kastle had to take control for shoot on Flex, as they were not working well together.
----Jethro/Humongous II with Nate the Rat beat “Picture Perfect” [Jon Michael/Chris O’Neal]. Crowd was hot for PP. Corey actually called Michael “O’Neal” during one time. Crowd was chanting “Go Michael Go”, but he still calls him Christian Jacobs!!! Heat on Michael with hot tag to O’Neal. Finish had Huey cut off O’Neal and hit him with a chokeslam for the pin. This match felt real rushed also, but everyone looked good. Michael looked real good doing shine including Stinger splashes on Jethro. O’Neal did well on the hot tag.
----Classic Jerry Lawler vs Randy Savage aired next. I think this was from Louisville, KY, but not for sure. They entered the bout about 16 minutes into the bout and aired the last 5 minutes. Heat was on Lawler, but they did a few cool hope spots until Lawler finally made his comeback. One spot was Savage dumping Lawler to the concrete floor, and then Savage jumped off the ringpost to the floor. Lawler hit Savage in the stomach as he jumped down on him. Savage then took a backdrop on the concrete floor followed by cutting off Lawler again. After Lawler pulled down the strap, he laid in the punches to Savage. Great punches!!! Lawler gets ready to pin Savage, but Hart distracts the ref. Savage then piledrives Lawler behind the ref’s back, but a second ref [Paul Morton] comes out. Savage goes after him and Lawler rolls Savage up from behind. Great finish!!
----Lawler on the phone as if he is live. He even says that he and his mom just got done watching the Savage match. It was done real good. Nate comes out and says nothing is wrong with Lawler’s “mammy”. Nate promises he is going to Lawler’s “mammy’s” house this week and he will have a video next week.
FINAL NOTES: BH Brown also said in his interview that everyone says that he is going to turn on Kevin, but he is not going to turn on him. In wrestling speak – he is turning on Kevin. Well, maybe he is not --- I forget that this is Memphis….Crowd was super hot for King vs Tatt2. The marks love Tatt2. King was so funny when Rocker walked out…Almost all those old pics that they aired of the “First Family” was taken by Memphis photographer – Jim Cornette…The finisher that Flash used on Kastle looked awesome!! Flanagan is so far ahead as a worker than any of the guys in the ring with him. No offense to them, but Flash has the experience…Another good match for “Picture Perfect”, even though they did not win, it still made them look good…Not sure why they aired the Lawler vs Savage bout after airing a “Opening the Vault” segment. I guess just to remind everyone Lawler is still with the company. Great clips though. Those guys worked so good together…I can’t wait to see Nate’s trip to Mammy Lawler’s house!! LOL This could be real good and funny.
