----"Too Cool 2" [Flex/Tim Grind] interview. Tatt2/Dustin Starr walked out to challenge TC2 for the belts. TC2 say no. Good interview segment. TC2 vs "The Posse" [Lil
Chris/Simon Reed]. Heat on Chris. Starr/Tatt2 came out and got the crowd going crazy for the hot tag. It looked like a screw up finish with Reed almost having Flex pinned, but he had to kick out. Flex/Grind then brawled with Starr/Tatt2 outside the ring and ref Jerry Calhoon ruled No Contest.----Johnny Dotson beat Shawn Shultz. Heat on Dotson after Shultz threw him over the top rope. Dotson came out the heat with a Juvi driver and then a frog splash. A real good match. One of the better TV bouts of the year.
----An interview aired next filmed earlier this week at Corey Maclin's office. Maclin showed clips of the DK/Dotson feud. Maclin announces signed for the "Sam's Town" show is a TLC Match with JR Title on the line - DK vs Dotson. Good interview. This match will probably be worth the price of admission.
----Mr. Hughes interview. Hughes says Jerry Lawler is in Tunica, MS jail. Hughes beat Sam Shaw. Shaw was standing on ring apron and Hughes kicked him - Shaw did a front flip to the concrete. Hughes gave Shaw more than he usually gets. Shaw has some raw athletic talent. I think Shaw may have got hardway.
----Jerry Lawler on the phone interview. He states that he is not showing up because he is scared he is going to be arrested. He mentions "The Big Cheese" being a big idiot and pressing charges against him. Lawler states he will be at "Sam Town" on July 20, 2007.
----"Opening the Vault" - Jerry Lawler vs Bill Dundee. This bout was from April 15, 1977 – 30 freakin years ago!! The Mid-South Coliseum was packed!! Mickey Poole was Lawler's manager, so this was a true classic. Video quality was perfect. The stips had Dundee's hair vs Poole's hair and Lawler's Southern title. Match was stopped because Dundee was not in any condition to continue the bout. Great clips.
----Kevin White comes out with Garry White & "The Agents". They show the clips of milk magic trick from last week. White says that Spellbinder gets his powers from "that skull" and he is going to get it. Mr. White joins Maclin on commentary. Kevin White beat Cameron Valentine. Mr. White was really funny. White beat Valentine and then the Agents jumped in beating up Valentine. Spellbinder came out and put his skull down to make the save. Can you guess what happens next?? White steals the skull and then the Agents with Garry tie up Spell and drag him out of the studio. This is all real campy, but I like it.
----NOTES: Tatt2 has this hilarious tag line that makes no sense, but is over in TLCW Ripley, TN [a weekly promotion that uses a lot of the Memphis Wrestling workers] and looks like it will be over here. He says, "What it is beef jerky?" and then a pause and says, "Smooooooth Turkey!!" As I said, it makes no sense but it is over with me...Tim Grind looks in fantastic shape...Shultz is also in great shape and a very good worker...Even though Lawler has stated that he will be at "Sam's Town", the Ohio Valley web site has him booked that night. I am looking for them to do an angle out of this with Hollywood Jimmy claiming Lawler is in jail or something...I am all about pushing the new talent, but this week's "Opening the Vault" was classic stuff. Lawler used a chain and got heat from the 15 minute mark until the end of the bout. If they are going to do these segments, they should do a Lawler vs Dundee series...I believe Valentine and Shaw both were trained by Mr. Hughes..."Agents" this
week were K-Hill, Albino Rhino and Maxx Corbin. Alex Krisis was not there...I would also like to thank Mark James the author of a new book titled “Memphis Wrestling History: Cards, Matches, Results & Newspaper Clippings Vol 1: 1970-1985” for his help on the date of the Lawler vs Dundee bout.
