----Derrick King opens the show with an interview with Corey Maclin. King starts saying he is not scared of Spellbinder, but when Spell’s music starts playing he starts bugging his eyes. DK beats Shawn Shultz. This was a real good TV bout. Shultz was flawless. DK beat him with a superkick. Lights go out after match and Spell comes out in the dark with flaming torch that he turns into a cane.
---- “Sam’s Town” Show - InSane Clowns/Kevin White vs Dustin Starr/Flash Flanagan/Tatt2…Ladies Title Contender’s Match: Christie Ricci vs Miss Passion…JR Title Match: Derrick King vs Spellbinder…Southern Tag Team Titles: “Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] vs Kid Kash/Bill Dundee…The Barbarian vs Cujo with Sal Corrente…Texas Death Match: Koko Ware/Corey Maclin with Jimmy Hart vs The Assassins with Sal…Unified Title Match & AWA Title – Jerry Lawler vs Mr. Hughes.
----They air the clip of Hughes pushing down Renee from last week. Mr. Hughes interview – “I’d slap any woman in the studio!” Maclin turned into Lance Russell for a few moments and was getting over Hughes big time.
----Bill Dundee interview. Maclin says that TC2 won the belts in Louisiana and hurt Ricky Morton. Dundee beat by DQ over Kevin White. Short match with White getting all the heat and as Dundee is coming out of it, and then TC2 jumped Dundee for the DQ. White got on the mic and said he doesn’t need help and talked about beating up more legends. TC2 do a short interview talking about beating up Morton and wrestling Dundee/Cash at “Sam’s Town’.
----Clip of The Barbarian vs Cujo with Sal Corrente from Hogan show. This was just a hardcore brawl, but I was told the crowd really got into it at the FedEx Forum. I don’t remember Cujo turning??
----Clip from FedEx Forum with Kid Kash/Ricky Morton beating TC2. Kid Kash VTR interview. It was good with Kash explaining about the phantom angle of TC2 jumping Morton and hurting him. TC2 comes out for interview. This was funny because they ask why Maclin didn’t show them the video of them beating Morton/Kash. LOL Dundee come out with a chair. Dundee did a good interview talking about how PG13 and BC did the gimmick before them.
----Dustin Starr/Johnny Dotson beat “Insane Clowns” [Bobo/Giggles] with Rashard by DQ. Good short bout. Starr had Giggles pinned, but Rashard jumped in hitting Starr with their bucket. They left Starr/Dotson lying to set up the 6 man tag for “Sam’s Town.”
----Jerry Lawler interview with AWA Title and Unified Title. Lawler states that the only way he could get Hughes in the ring was to put up both of those titles. Lawler talks about “lighting him up like a roman candle” promising fire. Good interview. He says he is going to make Hughes get on his knees and apologize to Renee. Hughes comes out and they do another pull-a-part.
----Sal Corrente VTR interview with Assassins in training. Sal was wearing Assassin gear – hilarious!! Koko Ware comes out with Frankie for a quick interview. Jimmy Hart VTR interview talking about the match. Ware comes back out. Assassins with Sal jump them. Maclin does not sell very well. They finally get him down and Koko makes save.
Notes: A fan was wearing a “Flashamania” t-shirt in the crowd…It has been a while since I have seen Shultz and he has improved lots. He has a good look and solid worker…TC2 won the tag titles in Louisiana in a phantom change. And, DK is the JR champ winning in Mexico in a phantom change…White worked Lawler last week and Dundee this week. What a combo; huh??...As usual, I am not a fan of Maclin’s announcing, but he did an excellent job getting over all the matches for the “Sam’s Town” show…Crowd did not pop like I thought they would for the Maclin angle at first, but were then chanting “Corey, Corey” by the end of it. I am already tired of the Koko face gimmick.
