----I did get an e-mail from Pamela Bridges this week. Bridges is the program director of CW 30 and she sent the following, “There has not been a final decision on the show, but right now the plan is to air repeats.” Wrestling reruns?? That just seems so weird. LOL
----The rerun season starts. The show opens with the same theme and such. Corey Maclin opens the show explaining that during January and February they will be airing footage from the CW30 station. “Memphis Wrestling 75 years 2008” logo is in the left hand corner of the screen.
----Corey Maclin is joined by Brian Teigland to announce. They go over a Mid-South Colisuem show coming up on July 10?? They then show a clip of Jimmy Hart at Universal Studios with Maclin.
---- Koko Ware beat Derrick King using a chain.
----Clip is shown of “Last Saturday” of Jerry Lawler getting DQ’ed for beating up on DK. Maclin tries to make save. Lawler is a heel here. Lawler interview with Maclin.
Lawler is so good as a heel. This, I believe, is the start of the Lawler/Maclin feud. Maclin is really good here also. The start of this was very good, but it lasted way too long. Teigland stands in the middle of Lawler/Maclin.
---- Johnny Dotson/Brandon Groom with Ms Summer beat “Lifeguards” [Scott Starr/Tony Gunn] when Groom pinned Gunn. Whatever happened to this Groom guy?? He had a good look. What is the latest on Starr?? Didn’t he sign something with WWE at one time??
----Koko Ware interview. Ms Summer comes out. Summer was not too bad looking. Nice body. Koko tries to get her to join him, because he can call Vince McMahon for her. He wants her to get on the “Soul Train” – that was funny. Groom comes to get Summer.
----“Last Week” clip of “Lifeguards” beating Brian Christopher/Sexy Assassin. Brian C interview. Good interview. Brian C beats Sexy Assassin [I believe this was Flex] using a chain or something.
NOTES
----This is pretty much what my Memphis Wrestling reports will consist of until they start airing new stuff. I am not going to go in depth with much, because truthfully it does not matter. I might ask a lot of “where are they now” and if anyone knows, then send it in. I do plan to have a ratings report, which I believe is going to be more important than the actual show…My main gripe about the way they are doing this is that they showed upcoming shows and such for July 10?? If you are casual fan and have no idea what is going on, you might turn it on and find all these guys in total different roles. I think this is going to just confuse people. If I was doing the show, I would just do matches with no interviews and try to feature the guys in the roles they are in now as either a heel or babyface….This show originally aired 6.12.04…I think I seen RRO Announcer of The Year nominee Michael Ward in the crowd?? Grady Watson was in the crowd.
