----Corey Maclin comes out and talks about 75 years of Memphis Wrestling. Apparently they are planning a big show upcoming in 2008 to celebrate that fact. Maclin is joined by Jimmy Hart to co-host the show.
----Corey Maclin & Derrick King – interview. Dotson talks about his upcoming match today vs Dustin Starr. Derrick King talks about his match vs Lawler today. Jerry Lawler then walks out. Lawler puts over the fact that Memphis Wrestling has existed for 75 years. He and DK talk about their match today.
----“TK2” [Tim Grind/Flex] & Tatt2 interview. Grind does a good interview. Flex tries to say his catch phrase, but Tatt2 beats him to it and says, “Smooooth Turkey..” LOL TK2/Tatt2 beat Fire/Flame/Gladiator. Heat on Tatt2 when Tatt2 missed a split leg moonsault. Hot tag to Flex. Flex cut off, but then hits a double closeline. Grind does a blind tag and they eliminate Fire/Flame out of the ring. Gladiator takes their Kishi/RKO driver finisher. Tatt2 is tagged and jumps to the top rope to the Gladiator split-leg [ala Mysterio] squash as he is getting up for the pin. Good match.
----Koko Ware interview. Koko talks about the death of his father. Koko says that 2008 is going to be the Birdman’s year.
----JR Title Match: Dustin Starr vs Johnny Dotson with Rashard Devon/DK. Heat started when Starr went to the top rope and DK tried to push him off. Dotson then ran over and pushed him with Starr landing with ropes between his legs. Starr hits Dotson with a german suplex to come out of heat and then his finisher. DK/Rashard jump in for the DQ. Good quick match. They beat up Starr after the match.
----Lawler interview with Grady Watson. Lawler says that he will have Watson at ringside, since DK will have everyone ringside. Clip is shown of Lawler interfering in Starr/Kevin White bout from last week. Garry White/Sue Young comes out. White threatens Grady first. He then talks about Lawler injuring his son from the piledriver last week. Lawler asks Sue Young if she wants to join him. She acts like she wants to, but then Garry yells at her. Good segment.
----Jerry Lawler beat Derrick King by DQ. The only move in this match was punches. No I am not kidding. This was a very short match with DK only getting in about five punches in a row that would be considered the heat. Lawler pulled down his strap. Rashard tried to interfere, but Grady cut him off. Finally, Mr. White jumped in for the DQ. White held Lawler, but Lawler moved and DK hit White and he bumped out of the ring. Not a great match, but it did accomplish what it was supposed to do – continue the White/Lawler feud.
----“Opening The Vault” Hulk Hogan vs Paul Wight match from earlier this year at the FedEx Forum.
----Brian Christopher interview. Brian says that everyone says he is bad now, but he is just the same. Brian says he is going to beat his opponent today in 60 seconds. Brian C beat Crime in over a minute. This made no sense. Horrible match.
----Lawler comes out for the third time. They promote that next week is the Christmas show and then the week after that is “Year in Review 2007” show. Maclin then states that starting in January that they will be celebrating 75 years Memphis Wrestling with full hour shows for “two months” with just classic clips.
NOTES
----Jimmy Hart says during the 6-man tag – “Tatt2 has a million moves, he just has to learn when to use them.” LOL I agree 100% Hart…Good to see in the 6 man tag – not the same ol’hot tag!! Good stuff!!...Crowd was hot for the show today…Dustin Starr looks like a wrestler...Lawler in this second interview talked about Watson’s son-in-law, who works in rodeos, getting injured earlier this year and they didn’t think he was going to live. He was in the crowd today and is doing good…Brian C spit all over Maclin while doing his interview…Crowd was chanting “Ali, Ali”, but no Ali Stevens??...I am going to try to get confirmation on the show going to classic clips for the first part of 2008. If they plan to do this with no local talent, then the show is not going to be worth watching. I am not sure what they are thinking, because the “Opening the Vault” segments have not been getting good ratings…Good solid show.
CLIP OF THE WEEK will be posted later today!!
