1/11 Memphis TV Report: Jerry Lawler, King Mabel, Jimmy Hart, Bill Dundee (yes, it's 2008) Jan 13, 2008 - 8:31:07 PM
----Where are they now? We heard from my requests last week. Scott Starr is working for the WWE as a referee in FCW. Brandon Groom still wrestles in the Oklahoma and is planning to go to Florida for a tryout sometime this year.
----Corey Maclin opens alone with a black backdrop. Maclin says that people have been asking him what happened between him and Jerry Lawler.
----Rerun show starts with clips of Lawler/Maclin angle from “last week”.
----Jimmy Hart [as a heel] and Brian Teigland are announcing this week.
----Brian Christopher angle with Sexy Assassins. Maclin does tell everyone in the front of the show that the Sexy Assassins later became “Too Kool 2”. Christopher beats Sexy Assassin [Tim Grind].
----They posted a disclaimer this week saying, “This is an ENCORE PRESENATION of Memphis Wrestling”.
----Lawler interview. Lawler was wearing a god awful shirt!! It looks like he has sleeve tattoos. It actually looked like something Jeff Hardy would wear. LOL Lawler shows a photo of himself and Noel Neal – Lois Lane from “Superman” TV show. Lawler calls out Maclin. Crowd is hot with them chanting “Corey, Corey!!” Lawler starts talking about Corey’s Rolex watch and then Grady Watson is pulled out of the crowd. He is asked a bunch of questions, and then Lawler throws down the watch on the concrete floor. This was good.
----King Mabel interview talking about wrestling against WWE guys. Mabel was the Southern Champion. King Mabel beats “Sweet” Stevie Lee
----Lawler comes out for another interview. Lawler talks about his win over Shock [Spellbinder] for the XWF Title. Clip is shown of Lawler beating Shock with help from Jimmy Hart. Shock comes out. Lawler states that he thinks Hart tried to let Shock win that match. Lawler says that he did not win the match fair & square. He gives the XWF Title back to Shock.
----Maclin runs Hart off the set. Maclin says that Lawler will pay him for his watch. Bill Dundee interview talking about his hurt shoulder. Dundee plugs his bar. He talks about Kid Kash for July 10, 2004.
----This show originally aired 6.19.04…The stuff with Lawler/Maclin is really good with Lawler playing such a great heel.
