Memphis Wrestling TV Report 4.07.07
----Derrick King interview opened the show. DK talked about the “mask” that keeps haunting him. DK visited a magic shop and the owner told him to watch his back. Derrick King vs Johnny Dotson ended in No Contest. Tatt2 tried to interfere to help Dotson, but it backfired. Flash Flanagan then came out running off DK.
----“Hollywood” Jimmy Blaylock with Fire/Flame/Chucky. Jimmy said that Chucky will be in the corner of Kamala this Friday night. Then Corey Maclin announced that Boogeyman will have Little Boogey at ringside with him.
----“New Nature Boy” Kevin White by DQ over Dustin Starr. A real good TV bout, but with a crappy finish. White was getting the heat on Starr and started using a chain, so Lord Humongous II made the save for him. Here is the problem – no build up except for Maclin saying Bill Dundee would reveal his mystery partner today and then Huey showing up. Just a couple of weeks ago, Huey was with the “Hollywood Clique” and now no turn or explanation.
----Full card for “Sam’s Town” “Nightmare at Tunica” @ River Place Arena with “Sam’s Town” Title Match: Johnny Dotson vs Tatt2, Chucky with Hollywood vs Sawdoff, JR Title Match: Derrick King vs Flash Flanagan, Mr. Hughes/Kevin White vs Bill Dundee/Lord Humongous II, Grudge Match: Koko Ware vs The Grizz with special ref Corey Maclin, Mixed Tag Match Jazz/Rodney Mack vs “The Moondogs” [Cujo/Fifi], Southern Tag Team Title Match: “Too Cool 2” [Flex/Tim Grind] vs Shelton Benjimam/Charlie Hass] and the Main Event: Boogeyman with Little Boogey vs Kamala with “Hollywood” Jimmy.
----Another piece with Jazz/Maclin at the home of Jazz. Grady Watson joins them. Watson talks about not being able to control The Moondogs. Jazz attacks Watson trying to rip his shirt. This was horrible. Jazz does a good promo after the angle.
----Video is shown of Corey Maclin and Jimmy Hart. They are on the roof of Hulk Hogan’s house waiting on him. Maclin promises Hogan later on the program. Hart then calls in and talks to Maclin.
----Jerry Lawler video interview from his home surrounded by Superman memorabilia. Lawler talks about Hogan should not worry about who is going to be the most popular, because he will be since they are in Memphis. Lawler puts over the fact that they felt the Mid-South Coliseum would not hold all the people for the event, so they are now using the Fed-Ex Forum.
----Hulk Hogan video interview aired next with Corey Maclin. Hogan puts over the point on whether Jimmy Hart is going to be in his corner or Lawler’s corner. Something weird about the video as it looked like Maclin/Hogan were transposed in the scenery.
----Shelton/Hass video interview aired next. Same one as last week’s show.
----Grind/Flex squash “Blackout Squad” [Oz/Bishop] in quick bout. “Too Cool” got a huge babyface reaction from the fans even though they are heels. And, aren’t the BOS heels here?? Grind/Flex used a combo driver/stunner finish, which looked awesome!!!
----Koko Ware interview as The Grizz comes out to a pop. Grizz whispers something in Maclin’s ear and Maclin then announces he is the special ref for the match Friday night.
----They announced Hulk Hogan will be live in the studio next week.
----“Insane Clown” with Rashard come out. Clowns vs Cujo in a handicap match. Clowns have water and food for Cujo. Cujo gets down and looks at the food. He then hikes his leg up like he pees in it. Then the Clowns jump him with silly string. God!! I wished I was making all that up!!! Show goes off before the finish of the match as Cujo was making his comeback.
RassleNotes: “Flashamania” t-shirts were seen on fans in the crowd. Flash Flanagan does a Hulk gimmick in Ripley, TN for TLCW calling himself “The Flasher”…10:00 PM coming this Thursday on CW 30 will be a special for “Nightmare In Tunica” card…I think “Chucky” is area midget “Hollywood”…Nothing against Huey, but wouldn’t it have made sense with Dundee/Starr vs White/Hughes, since White had turned against Starr??...Hart states there have been over 300,000 hits on the Memphis Wrestling web site because of Lawler vs Hogan. Guess what?? The web site is not even up and running. LOL…Lawler has a crown tattoo on his forearm – first time I ever noticed it, so it must be new…Maclin said when showing the full card that Chucky was “Baby Kamala”?? WTF?? I think they actually were going to bring in a midget to play Baby Kamala, but instead are using Chucky…Why is it that “Too Cool 2” are the only tag team to be put over on Memphis TV and the big shows?? There have been other champs and such, but no one gets the push these guys do…Everyone put over the Hogan vs Lawler in their interview….They did a good job promoting the upcoming show. The question is can they draw without Jerry Lawler being on the show?? Can they draw when most people may just save their money for Lawler vs Hogan?? Main Event of Kamala vs Boogeyman is nothing that makes me want to go see the show.
