----Corey Maclin opens the show with an interview with “Too Cool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex]. TK2 talk about how they got their belts back last week. Brian Christopher comes out. Grind says, “I hate that.” LOL Brian C says he wants a tag team title match tonight. Grind then says, “Nobody likes you!” LOL Funny stuff. Brian brings out Ali. Brian C then challenges them for the title match right now. Ali/Brian C beat TK2 for the Southern Tag Team Titles. This was a total squash of TK2 with them getting very little. Ali did a pounce on both guys for the first few spots. Brian C climbed across the ring hanging onto the set railing like monkey bars, then falling with a legdrop pinning Grind.
----Jerry Lawler and Koko Ware come out for an interview. Lawler/Koko talked about “Plowboy” Frazier. This was just a bumper for “Opening the Vault” with clips of Jerry Lawler vs Andy Kaufman. The crowd was huge that night. Jimmy Cornette was at ringside shooting photos. This footage was high quality stuff and some of the best I have seen of this angle in a long time. They also aired the Kaufman/Lawler angle from the Letterman show.
----Kevin White and Mr. White come out for an interview. Mr. White says he is not going to wrestle even though he was signed to do it. Maclin threatens him to get in the ring. Since Mr. White has been interfering in every Kevin bout, then Maclin is making him wrestle. Kevin & Garry White beat Chris Lexx/Dustin Starr. Heat on Starr. Mr. White was hilarious here. Starr finally jumped up to go after Mr. White and had him in the turnbuckle with the 10 punch spot. Ref Bill Rush went to try to keep Lexx out of the ring and Kevin got in the ring. He used a chain on Starr and Garry pinned Starr. OMG!! That was funny.
----Derrick King/Johnny Dotson interview. DK brings out Rashard Devon and tells him his services are no longer needed. So, at this point they are a babyface tag team. Triple Threat Tag Team Match: DK/Dotson beat “Naughty By Nature” [Rude/Pokerface] and the “Hurricanes” [Axx/Maxx]. Poker was trying to send Axx into the turnbuckle, but he reversed it sending Poker over the top turnbuckle to start the heat. Poker spent a lot of time with ‘Canes getting heat on him. It was good for the young guys getting some TV time. Poker finally got the hot tag jumping and tagging all three – Rude/DK/Dotson. They teamed with all four guys double dropkicking the ‘Canes out of the ring. Poker then did a dive to the outside of the ring onto both the ‘Canes. Rashard then came out and threw DK a laptop to use on Rude, but before he can use it, Dotson grabbed it from him and used it on Rude for the pin. Rashard gave them both big wads of money. King/Dotson did an interview after the match with Rashard with DK saying they might be the best tag team of all time. This match was at least 15 minutes long.
NOTES
----I know Grind/Flex are team players, but what the heck?? They build these guys and then Brian C comes in and squashes them. Do not like it…National Museum of Television and Radio voted the Kaufman/Lawler Letterman angle one of the top 100 moments in TV history, which Lawler mentioned. This angle was also voted as one of the Top 25 Moments That Changed WWE History. And, yes I am a total mark for this angle, but why air this stuff in 2007??? I can’t gripe about them not giving the young guys TV time after two weeks of over 15 minutes main events…Great job on Dustin Starr’s part of taking one for the team and putting Garry White over….Maclin gets Maxx and Axx confused. How can he screw up stuff this simple???...Main event was not a great bout, but it told a real good story. ‘Canes still need work, but have come a long way since the first day I seen them. I really hope they feud Dotson/DK vs NBN…Not a great show, but they spent three quarters getting over the young talent with angles and continuing the storylines. Lawler has not worked a match the last four weeks on TV.
