----This is stuff that I got off the Yahoo Mempho group talking about the Lawler/Funk show. It makes you wonder if they will ever be able to draw another crowd this size??
Here are the results from the coliseum (There was almost 5,000 people in
attendance) courtesy of Andrew Elder.

Thought I throw in some details about the matches.
Brian Teigland and Lance Russell come out to the Memphis Wrestling
music. Brian asks if we're for wrestling, etc.
First Match: Life Guards vs Infernos- It was OK match, the Life
Guards basically control the match through out, some high risk moves.
In the end, one of Life Guards gets the win with the flying body
press.
Second Match: Nicholas Doom vs Johnny Dotson- This was a pretty good
match. Both guys did a lot impressive moves. I'm really impressed
with Johnny, he's got potential to be a great Cruiserweight. In the
end Nicholas Doom wins by pinning Dotson while Doom has his feet on
the ropes.
3rd match: Womens Title match(no title belt present actually) Christi
Ricci vs Miss Kelly. Kelly taunts Ricci before we really get into the
match. Pretty good moves from Christi, Miss Kelly has some OK moves.
Christi wins the match, and before she lives stomps on Miss Kelly.
4th match: Cruiserweight Title Kid Kash vs Spiderman(comes out
shooting silly string webbing in the crowd) Pretty good match, back
and forth between Kash and Spiderman, Kash eventually gets Spiderman
tied in the ropes and wells on him and trying to take the mask off,
Rashaad Devine(sp) is trying to get Kash let Spiderman out and after
several times being shoved by Kash, Devine calls for the bell,
Spiderman wins by dq, afterword Kash grabs Devine, beats him up, rips
of Devine's neck brace, and pedigrees Rashaad. Spiderman and others
help Rashaad to the back.(note that's the last we see of Devine as
Jerry Calhoun would ref the rest of the matches)
5th match: Double Title Triple Threat. Shock and Mordecai Double team
Mable and beat him up, then both try to pin Mable with each other
pulling the other off. Back and forth between everybody, Mable gets
knocked down at one point which allows Shock to hit Mordecai with a
powerslam I believe to get the win. after the match and Shock leaves
Mable gets up and grabs Mordecai and slams him. (Mable and Shock
retain their titles)
6th Match Grudge Tag Match: Bill Dundee and Kevin White vs Koko B
Ware and Kamala. Highlights: Bill Dundee low blow to Kamala. some OK
moves by everyone. At the end everybody is in the ring and while the
ref is dealing Bill Dundee and Kamala. Koko use the brass knucks and
knocks out Kevin White to get the win.
7th Match the Battle Royal: Highlights: Christi Ricci came out late,
and said on the mic she wanted in I guess(the mic volume was real low
so I couldn't hear a thing she said). She gets in a immediately gets
beat down by Kid Kash, after she gets back up Shock levels her, then
she gets back up and Kid Kash goes after her again. She did get help
from Bill Dundee and Kevin White and some others, Dundee held Kash
and let her beat on him. In the end it was down to Kash, Jimmy
Valiant, Kevin White and Mordecai, Valiant Eliminates Kash and then
heads over where both Kevin and Mordecai are both barely hanging over
and dumps them both out winning the $25,000. Valiant celebrates by
kissing Jerry Calhoun, kissing and rubbing Guy Coffee's head, and
Kevin White comes back in and celebrates with Jimmy.
8th Match: The Stink Face Match: Some close calls by Rikishi on Tim
and Flex. Brian attempts stink face a couple of times. Tim and Flex
also had there shots at ones. In the end, Flex is smashed in the
corner and gets the stink face by Rikishi. After the match Brian
tells Rikishi no dancing tonight, he wants to give a stink face,
Rikishi says he's out of here wants no part of it. While Brian moves
Flex again in the corner gets ready to give a stink face with his
pants down, out of the crowd comes Doug Gilbert who beats Christopher
with a baseball bat and Tim and Flex help Doug Rikishi runs back and
helps Brian. Doug gets on the mic and says that it wouldn't be an
wrestling event without him and that he challenge Brian and Rikishi
to bring Scotty 2 Hotty to the next event at the coliseum for a six
man match. Doug, Tim, and Flex leave to boos(I guess their bad guys
now, although I thought Brian was suppossed to be the bad guy, go
figure)
Final Match: Terry Funk and Cory vs Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart
Highlights: Funk slammed into the coffin, then gets out of it and
drags it into the ring. Funk produces the wood splinter and gets the
mic and says that everyone with kids should take them out because
he's going to poke a man's eye out. He proceed to try and jab the
stick but Lawler blocks it. Jimmy Hart throws powder in Terry's face,
then Lawler uses the Splinter to bust Terry open. Lawler and Funk
both use the coffin on each other, and ends up spilling outside were
Funk beats Lawler and grabs the mic and cusses Lawler while he hits
him. During the confession Cory I think gets the pin on Hart, all I
know is the bell rings and Jimmy Valiant says Cory and Funk win. Funk
heads to the back while Lawler and Hart beat on Cory and Handsome
Jimmy. I kept telling my uncle where's Terry, suddenly I see somebody
coming back with something on Fire. It's Terry Funk with his branding
iron. Jerry tries to escape the ring but Cory grabs his leg and Funk
brands him and then Jerry and Jimmy Hart escape. Funk threatens to
burn Jimmy Valiant as Jimmy runs around in the ring to avoid the
branding iron, then Funk goes over and helps Cory and hugs Cory.
Jimmy Valiant raises both Terry Funks and Cory hands in the air.
If I missed some spots and things feel free to fill in the blanks.
Overall pretty good event.
