Memphis Wrestling TV Report 12.08.07

----Corey Maclin opens the show and is joined by Reggie B Fine. Fine starts doing “Dolomite” jokes and they go to commercial break.

----They replay the Ali Stevens/Brian Christopher angle from last week. Ali comes out with Tatt2 as his partner interview. Camera then goes backstage with Brian C trying to find a partner. He asks Jerry Lawler first, but Lawler doesn’t want to do it. He then goes over to Dustin Starr and Starr refuses. Finally, he goes over to Chris Lexx and asks him. Brian C says that him/Lexx are wrestling a couple of clowns. Lexx says, “The Clowns??” and then proceeds to take off his regular clothes and his gimmick is underneath. [which was hilarious for just that] Good piece. Lexx walks out to see that they are wrestling Ali/Tatt2, but Brian C tells him everything will be fine. Tatt2/Ali beat Brian C/Lexx. Not much of a match, just trying to build around Ali getting his hands on Brian C. Ali chased Brian out of the ring and finish had Tatt2 hit Lexx with the 169 and the pin. After the match, Brian hit a DDT on Lexx and then Ali made the save.

----Lawler interview. Fine is laughing at Lawler losing from watching Sue Young dancing last week. Lawler makes jokes about the old time tandem of Lance Russell & Dave Brown and now you have Corey Maclin & Fine. LOL Funny. Lawler says he will get revenge on Kevin White.

----“Opening The Vault” – Power Pro Wrestling clips featuring tons of guys including Brandon Baxter, Jerry Lawler, Stacy Carter, Randy Hales, Ms Jackie, Lawler slaps Hales, Sir Mo, Spellbinder, Mabel, Tony Falk, Derrick King, Bill Dundee, Moondogs, “Master B” [Reggie B Fine], Paul Diamond, Koko Ware and many more.

----Kevin White/Sue Young/Garry White – interview. Young has pigtails and licking on a sucker. Dustin Starr does an interview. He says he figured out how Young got into the wrestling business – “Platinum Plus” closes [Memphis strip club] and Sue Young shows up on Memphis Wrestling. JR Title Match: Starr beat White by COR. Heat started when Mr. White tried to trip Starr – Starr went after him and Kevin bumped him to the outside. Starr comes out of heat closelining White over the top rope. Young starts stripping outside the ring on one side, while White goes for a chain on the other. Lawler comes out and piledrives White on the concrete and White gets counted out. Good solid match.

----“Naughty By Nature” [Pokerface/Rude]/Crime vs Gladiator/Fire/Flame was declared DDQ after 3 minutes. Ref Jerry Calhoun was getting pushed around by heels and babys.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interview. They bring out Dotson’s motorcycle, which was a kid’s bicycle. LOL Winner Takes Titles - Southern Tag Team Title Match: Grind/Flex vs Dotson/DK. Heat on Flex with hot tag to Grind. All four in the ring with Rashard hitting Flex with the laptop. DK superkicks Flex to pin him while Grind pins Dotson at the same time. Good solid match.

----They come back from commercial break and both teams are mad. Calhoun says he got the three count on both teams.

NOTES

----Brian C vignette backstage was funny and was breaking kayfabe – Brian was asking all the babys to tag with him and he is a heel…Ali looked huge in tag match with all three of the other guys…I could watch old Power Pro tapes all day long. I am not sure where they got these tapes, but they are crystal clear – very good quality. I would start liking the “Opening The Vault” if they would play Power Pro tapes every time. During a Baxter/Fine interview and the crowd was chanting “Ali, Ali” It was really strange seeing Baxter and Hales on Memphis TV again…My mistake next week, but White used a REAL chain to beat Lawler, not a phantom chain…Starr promo was good…Fine says during the 6-man tag – “Is this a Klu Klux Klan meeting?? They are all wearing hoods.” He was talking about the heels. How does stuff like this get on TV??…6 man tag that lasts 3 minutes?? Why even put it on TV?? Was this Fire/Flame ‘s punishment for “going over” a few weeks back??...I really wished they would put the tag titles on someone!!...A good show following storylines and such.
