----Show opens promising a segment from Jerry Lawler and Jimmy
Hart/Hulk Hogan.
----“Insane Clowns” [Giggles/Bobo] with Rashard beat Tatt2/Drew Donavon. Heat on Tatt2 with hot tag from Donavon. Bobo tried to use a cane, but ref Jerry Calhoun caught him. Calhoun’s head was turned, so Rashard hit Donavon with their bucket. Good opening match.
----Nate the Rat comes out with Fire/Flame, “Hillybilly” Assassin Jethro and “Cowboys” [Ricky Murdoch/Bill Nasty]. Nate tells “Cowboys” they have disappointed him. Fire/Flame/Jethro vs “Picture Perfect” [Jon Michael/Chris O’Neal]/K Hill ended in No Contest when Dustin Starr/Kevin White jumped in with chairs to go after Fire/Flame for burning Starr last week. “Cowboys” then run out to go after Fire/Flame. “Cowboys” have stare down with Fire/Flame, and then finally Maclin talks with White/Starr.
----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell. Bill Dundee is featured this week. Dundee vs Lawler with a kewl finish. Dundee is using a chain and after a ref bump, Lawler grabs the chain. He takes it away from Lawler and as Lawler turns around, Dundee hits him with brass knuckles for the win. Dundee video also airs, which had clips of Dundee vs Dutch Mantel in a sca
ffold match.
----Hulk and Brooke Hogan interview from today at Walmart in Southaven, MS. There was nothing mentioned of Hogan working the Coliseum show. Brooke came off real good. Hogan was challenging Lawler for a match saying how Lawler could come out of his home in Hendersonville, TN. Sorry Hogan, but that was the Jarretts. Hogan went right into character doing a promo, and then Hart showed up. It made Maclin/Memphis Wrestling look good. I don’t see Hogan being at the Coliseum show though.
----Dundee interview. He said he was going to bring one of PG13 in for the Coliseum show. Dundee beat by DQ Flash Flanagan after a ref bump and “Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] jumped Dundee with Kevin White making save.
----Lawler vs Dream Machine classic match aired next for the Unified Title. This was just a brawl with both guys bleeding and lots of punches. There was tons of heat for the bout. Stips on the match was the only way someone would win is if the other person went back to the dressing room. [sort of “I Quit”] Lawler threw a fireball, which made Machine run to the back.
----Derrick King interview wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses with JR Title. A very good interview building for the return of Johnny Dotson. Dotson video interview aired next. It was also a good interview.
----“Too Cool 2” [Flex/Grind] interview. Grind did a good job here. Grind/Flex beat 
“The Posse” [Simon Reed/’Lil Chris]. Heat on Chris with a false hot tag to Reed. Ref Bill Rush made Reed go back to the corner as Flex/Grind did an awesome finisher on Chris. Flex put Chris on his shoulder as Grind came off the ropes grabbing Chris’ head for a RKO as Flex sit down in a driver. A good match and probably the best I have seen Chris so far.
RassleNotes: There was only about 30 left in the crowd for this second hour of tapings…Maclin was pushing the Coliseum show for December 30, 2006 but he would not confirm it…K Hill is Ramsey Cahill who is a Bill Dundee/Kevin White trainee. I assume Maclin did not understand him when he told him his name. LOL…OMG!! I have no idea why they put the “Cowboys” in on a feud for no reason!! Great heat for Fire/Flame vs Starr/White and then they mess the angle up by adding the “Cowboys”. Only good thing is that if they do the Coliseum show it will be a Triple Threat - Titles [Starr/White] vs Masks vs Loser Leaves Town with Fire/Flame winning belts and “Cowboys” leaving town…”Opening the Vault” was good this week. Some good clips involving Dundee…I have no idea why they aired Lawler vs Machine. I loved the bout though – wished they would show some current stars though…Dotson will make a good cocky babyface vs King…Not any great wrestling until the final match and old clips, but I enjoyed the show.
