----Episode number two on TV50 opened with new intro with "Boys are Back In Town" song. Corey Maclin and Jerry Lawler open the show behind the desk on the set again. Lawler talks about starting a new clothing line of "King" shirts like he wears
on RAW.
----Diva match is up next. Lawler says this is going to be regular feature. Talia Madison vs Christy Hemme airs next. Hemme starts the heat as soon as the match starts. Madison came out of heat, but got screwed in the end using a sunset flip out of the
corner and Hemme held the ropes.
----Derrick King/Johnny Dotson interview airs next. They talk about their upcoming match on August 30rd against “Los Locos”. King/Dotson with Rashard Devon vs Chris Lexx/Dustin Starr from CW30 airs next. Heat started with Starr when he missed his second monkey flip [I remember this match – good psychology]. Not a lot of heat – Lexx gets hot tag and Dotson uses laptop on Lexx for the win. Lawler says that DK/Dotson were very talented. Lawler puts them over!!
----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] vs “Hurricanes” [Maxx/Axx]. TK2 were heels here. Not sure if that is how they are going to be pushed or not?? They were babys on the Autozone show, but they are always cheered anyway. Heat on Axx. Maxx with hot tag and it ended with Grind using the chain on him, so Flex pins Maxx.
----“Wrestling Professor” comes out reading Mark James’ book – “Memphis Wrestling History – Cards, Matches Results & Newspaper Clippings Vol 1”!!! Memphis Wrestling puts over a RRO columnist!! Congrats Mark!! You deserve it!!
----Jonathan Coachman/Joey Mercury vs Jerry Lawler with Queen Renee is next. This is from New England Championship Wrestling. Lawler is wearing pink and white. Mercury went outside the ring to and Renee slapped him. Heat started when Lawler was getting back in the ring from grabbing him away from Renee. Lawler makes comeback with pulling down the strap, fist drop and hits him with a piledriver. Mercury sold it perfect. Coachman comes in and Lawler hit him with a “Royal” stunner [it looked bad]. He does another stunner [looked good] and pinned Coachman. Good solid match. Lawler tells about Coachman being on ESPN.
----“Wrestling Professor” is back. First Saturday in February, 1989. Lawler says “Something special” happened on that day. They air the “Master of Pain” [The Undertaker] debut match. Classic interview – no tattoos on him!! He says he was from the Atlanta Penitentiary and Ricky Morton sent him to beat up Lawler. Pain squashes Rodney Napier after a flying closeline.
----Lawler/Corey finish the show with Maclin promising to air an interview with someone saying something bad about Lawler next week.
NOTES
----Matches for Delta Fair August 30, 2008 have Lawler vs Buff Bagwell, “Los Locos” vs DK/Dotson, Eugene, Brian Christopher, Kid Kash and more. This is a sold show as admission is free at the Fair…”Hurricanes” were Axx = Blitz = Maxx Corbin and Maxx = Albino Rhino…If you have no idea about author Mark James and his Memphis Wrestling history books, then check out www.memphiswrestlinghistory.com. I highly recommend both books!...When they would go to commercial, they would put up the ad for the Delta Fair show [good]. They listed the talented as Jerry Lawler, Buff Bagwell, Eugene and COREY MACLIN. OMG!!...Error from last week was that I posted the “Professor” said 1986, but it was 1988 when that clip aired…Mercury was a babyface at Autozone, but heel here. Not sticking with anything as simple as that – typical Memphis Wrestling…I thought it was a solid show and fun to watch...Check out www.rasslinriotonline.com every Tuesday as we post the show so all the visitors can vote - Thumbs up or Thumbs down on the show. I also post rating of the show every week.
