NOTES
----They had new opening...They started the show right off promoting the August 30 event. Good job...Show was not even listed on Direct TV guide - it was listed as "Paid Programming"...Why would they show Bagwell losing clean in the ring??...Who was the Wrestling Professor?? I think it might have been one of Coreys' kids. I guess that is their new "Opening the Vault" type of segment...Who was Senshi??...Professor is what is wrong with Memphis Wrestling!!..."Locos" are custom made for a feud with "Too Kool 2" [Tim Grind/Flex]...Same channel will air Smackdown...They announced that Christie Hemmi, Queen Renee and more.
