Memphis Wrestling TV Report 1.13.07

----Reggie B Fine comes out and says he was doing something in the bathroom with the Cleveland Browns. LOL Corey Maclin goes to break. They come back from break and he says he has been in the bathroom with the WWE Divas book.

----Clip of “Too Cool 2” [Flex/Tim Grind] fighting it out from last week. Flex/Tim Grind settles their differences and hug. These guys are funny. “Too Cool 2” beat “Picture Perfect” [Jon Michael/Chris O’Neal]. Heat on Michael with hot tag to O’Neal. TC2 shitcanned Michael and did their RKO Driver double team finisher on O’Neal for the win. Crowd was cheering for both teams – probably TC2 more. This was a real good match.

----Grady Watson beat Nate the Rat by DQ when Jethro jumps in choking and beating up Watson. Jerry Lawler made the save. No heat for this bout or angle. Lawler interview with no heat. Lawler challenges Jethro/Nate the Rat to a handicap match for this Thursday in Jackson, TN at the Palace in Jackson, TN.

----Jimmy Hart on phone making the big announcement. Hart talks about doing a contest for Wrestlemania. Hart finally says he is not going to tell the announcement this week. Hart says he will be there LIVE for next week’s show. The crowd groaned.

----Bill Dundee comes out to promote the Jackson show challenging Derrick King. They did a good job promoting the show.

----“Opening the Vault” with Lance Russell. Russell talks about tag teams. “Rock N Roll Express” [Ricky Morton/Robert Gibson] old video airs.

----Derrick King/Reggie B Fine interview. Fine/King beat Tatt2/Johnny Dotson. Crowd chants “Derrick sucks!!” Tatt2 was really over with the crowd. No psychology with King/Fine giving Tatt2/Dotson everything. Finish had Dotson jump in for no reason and Fine threw him out. Tatt2 hit a springboard from the top rope and DK hit him with a superkick in mid air. It looked good.

----Dustin Starr/Kevin White interview. Starr says something about the fireball angle that the promotion forgot about. Nate the Rat interview as he says he is bringing Doug Gilbert in for the Jackson show. Southern Tag Team Title Match: Starr/White beat Fire/Flame with Nate the Rat. This was a very short match and may have even been edited.

----RassleNotes: In the first 5 minutes Reggie B Fine talking about defecating and masturbating. For some reason, it is fun with Fine does it…Jon Michael is called “Chris Michaels” first and then calls him by his name…This announcement better be Hogan, but I am sure it is not…Call 901-794-0555 and get a Memphis show in your area. Well, only in the Memphis area…DK tag match was one of the worst matches I have ever seen DK in. Superkick looked real good, but that was the only thing…Since Dotson is supposed to be feuding with DK, why is he not working him in Jackson??...They did not have time to actually air much in the final match. Why not just do an angle to help set up White/Starr vs Fire/Flame in Jackson??...Not a great show, but not horrible. First match was real good, but rest of it was just there. No one cares about Grady Watson – the crowd was so dead when they did that angle…Jethro needs a new name – not “Hillbilly Assassin”. This guy if used right could make a killer heel – not against Lawler, because he has to sell his punches and such. They need to feed him with small babys for a couple of weeks, and then bring in a big size baby to work him.
