----D-Rock posted the following over @ www.wrestlingnewscenter.com about last week's Memphis show.
Corey Maclin was joined by Jerry "The King" Lawler, again, this week. Lawler said he's been on Memphis Wrestling on Saturday mornings for about thirty-eight years. Lawler said he will never forget the first day he was on Memphis Wrestling when he drew some pictures and sent them over to Lance Russell and Dave Brown at Channel 13. They called him and asked if he would like to come up and be on the show.
Opening the Vaults of Memphis Classic Wrestling with Jerry "The King" Lawler taking on "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, who had "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart in his corner. Eaton jabbed Lawler in the stomach with a chair, while Hart distracted the ref. Crowd got behind "The King" as they chanted, "Go, Jerry, go!" Lawler fought back and delivered a suplex, but before he could make the pin, Duke Myers, Jim Cornette, and Jimmy Hart hit the ring, attacking Lawler. Eaton, Myers, Hart, and Cornette put the boots to Lawler. When Eaton, Hart, and Cornette left, Lawler fought back against Myers and flipped him into the turnbuckle, clearing the ring.
Some footage from last year's Delta Fair, featuring Mucho Dinero defeating Pokerface with Rashard Devon, when one of Dinero's lady friends distracted Pokerface only to slap him setting him up for a Dinero hurricanrana and rollup for the three count.
Talk turned to Jerry Lawler's candidacy for Memphis Mayor. Lawler said they have two websites, LawlerforMayor.com and JerryLawler2009.com, where if people wanna help, they can go on through paypal and donate. Lawler added, "To me, what would be greatly appreciative is like a five or ten dollar donation." Lawler said he needs to be in office to look at every situation with honesty and common sense. "Those two things, right there, will help make decisions and will help make the city move forward in a positive direction." Lawler said the number one concern on the minds of the people in Memphis are crime and education.
More action from last year's Delta Fair with Derrick King & Johnny Dotson with Rashard Devon defeated Los Locos (Ramon and Raul) when Derrick rolled up Ramon in the corner with a little extra added assistance from the ropes.
Jerry Lawler addressed the major issues with the Memphis school system.

Delta Fair footage with "Grandmasta Sexay" Brian Christopher taking on "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. Finish came when Masters gave Christopher a low blow, while Christopher was punching him in the corner. Christopher later retaliated, but picked up the win by disqualification. Before they went to the video, Corey said we're gonna take a look at somebody who's on their way to the Delta Fair & Music Festival. I assume he was talking about Brian Christopher since Masters is back in the WWE.
Opening the Vaults with an historic match between Jerry "The King" Lawler and Hulk Hogan, who was managed by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart. Lawler came to the ring in the Mid-South Coliseum riding a big white horse. Jimmy Hart ran in attacking Lawler with some sort of foreign object. Hulk and Jimmy doubled teamed Lawler, but Lawler fought back, clearing the ring. Here's a video of this classic match:
Lawler asked Corey if they could dig up some footage of one of his favorites, "Dirty" Dutch Mantel, who is coming to the Delta Fair & Music Festival on Saturday, September 5th. Next week, they will give us the entire card for the Delta Fair show. There will be a return grudge match with Derrick King and Johnny Dotson. Corey added that he heard that local radio personality, Thaddeus Matthews, is not done with Koko B. Ware. Lawler said he would like to show Thaddeus a move or two. Lawler said he and Koko were at odds after their recent match in Union City, Tennessee. They showed a clip of Lawler eliminating Koko in the battle royal in Union City.
Opening the Vaults of Memphis Classic Wrestling with "Dirty" Dutch Mantel taking on "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who had "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart and Angel at ringside with him. Here's a video of this one:
Corey said, next week, they'll tell us all the names that are going to be at the Delta Fair on Saturday, September 5th, with a 7:30 bell time. Wrestling is absolutely free with admission to the fair. They said it's just five or six bucks. Corey asked everyone to bring their signs and make a lot of noise. The television cameras will also be out there. Lawler said while you're at it, go ahead and make a Lawler for Mayor sign to put out in your yard. Lawler said that if someone would take the time to make a homemade Lawler for Mayor sign, that would be a great show of support. Corey suggested that maybe they should take the camera crew out and try to find some of the yard signas to show on tv. Corey said, next week, they'll be telling us more about the Delta Fair. Lawler added that if you create a homemade Lawler for Mayor sign, then go online to JerryLawler2009.com or LawlerforMayor.com and send us an e-mail that you have that sign up and we'll send the cameras out and show it on tv. Corey Maclin ended the show, by saying, we'll be looking for you, next week.
