Championship Gold - Memphis Wrestling recap for February 26, 2022

Dustin Starr interviews The Elements of Wrestling ("Casanova" Colton Cage, Ryan Pyles, Van Viciouss) at the announce desk. Dustin announces that Action Jackson is injured and cannot compete in the Cobra Cup semi-finals, and Ryan Pyles says that Colton Cage will get his win via count-out. Colton Cage says that Action Jackson is scared of him, and Ryan Pyles says that The Elements of Wrestling are always on top. As Colton Cage heads to the ring to take his victory, Action Jackson is introduced despite not being cleared to compete at the behest of Cage. Action Jackson is then counted out, and Colton Cage advances to the finals. Back at the announce desk, Dustin Starr tells Colton Cage he has Mike Anthony in the finals. Cage says The Elements of Wrestling did what they said they would do and that they are all action. He says that he and Mike Anthony can take their battle anywhere, and that it will end with his hand raised before he "heads to the GunShow" and wins the Memphis Heritage Championship.

Dustin Starr interviews Rhino and Tiger Joe at the announce desk. Tiger Joe says he has a manbeast in Rhino and that he is "hungry as hell," then mentions that his neck hurts due to Derrick King's piledriver and that his attorney has told him to wear it until he gets his revenge. Rhino says he goes where the money is, and Tiger Joe paid him money to come to Memphis and take Derrick King out. He demands respect for Tiger Joe and for himself after what he has done for wrestling, and says he will rip Derrick King in half with a Gore.

Dustin Starr interviews The Skimahorns (Brad and Briar Skimahorn). Brad says that Uncle Mikey is at home after being banged up, and tells K-Toomer to get in the ring, saying that they did not back down against Lance Archer and that they will not back down against him. K-Toomer gets in the ring with The Skimahorns and overpowers them.

Dustin Starr interviews Country Rock (Carter Matthews and Chris Hayes) at the announce desk. Chris Hayes says they owe somebody money, and Carter Matthews says that they are handling this as a team and that he will take on the Meklalock Challenge. Chris Hayes says he will do it, because he got them into this. Meklakov shows up and mocks Country Rock for getting into debt and calls them brave, yet stupid. Carter Matthews volunteers, but Meklakov puts Matthews out with it. When Chris Hayes checks on Carter Matthews, Meklakov puts Hayes in the Meklalock and sends him into unconsciousness as well.

Backstage, Derrick King and Danny B. Good talk about losing the trios tag team championships and Tiger Joe and Rhino calling Derrick out. Derrick King says he will show Tiger Joe and Rhino why he is still the king next week.

We see Diana Taylor get ready to win the Memphis Women's Championship with help from King Cobra and Alan Steel at the WrestleCenter.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Mad Esthetician" Amber Rodriguez at the announce desk. She says that love is in the air this month and that love hurts, but so does her syringes. She then asks for Heather Monroe to come to the announce desk. Heather Monroe says Skyler thinks she can hang with them when she can't, and if she wants to hang with the stars, she has to get in the ring with the stars. She has a challenge for her if she has the courage to head to the ring. Amber takes offense to Skyler turning against her after she made her, and Heather takes offense to Skyler kicking her in the head. When asked why Amber and Heather want Skyler two-on-one, Heather tells Dustin it is none of his business. After the commercial break, Skyler heads to the announce desk. She tells Heather and Amber that they need to calm down a little bit and that she accepts their two-on-one challenge, but she did not come alone. "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose shows up and heads to the ring with Skyler. Heather and Amber quickly retreat. Afterwards, Dustin Starr interviews Nyla Rose and Skyler at the announce desk. She says Heather and Amber can run away all day if they want, but she came here for "that sweet Southern satisfaction" and some action. She tells Heather and Monroe to make their way back to the ring next week, as she and Skyler have something for them, and tells them not to be afraid, as that is just the nature of the beast.

Backstage, The Yung GOATs (Aaron Roberts and Zay Washington) are met by Brandon, who says that it makes all three of them sick that The Posse (Simon and Lil Chris) are suspended and won't get their contracts renewed so that The Yung GOATs face them. He says that he will pay for the damages The Posse made and do whatever it to get The Posse reinstated for a fight with The Yung GOATs.

We hear from Walker Hayes, who has apparently gone missing. He says that as a kid, he was always fascinated by monsters but was never scared by them as they were a work of fiction. He says this was before he met true evil, when he learned monsters are real. He says that to understand this, one must go back to the beginning.

Backstage, Austin Lane and Matt meet with Brett Michaels. Austin says it is four weeks until the Superbout, but they do not mind being his partners against three other guys. Brett Michaels says he does not know who Matt is and does not trust him, and says that he has his own partner: "Big Swole" Justin Cole.

Dustin Starr interviews Kross, Martin and Jay Smooth at the announce desk. Kross says that they will take on the three top guys in Memphis Wrestling before mocking "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, "Big Swole" Justin Cole and Austin Lane and stating they will be the ones people are celebrating.

"The GunShow" Brett Michaels, "Big Swole" Justin Cole and Austin Lane beat Kross, Martin and Jay Smooth after Brett Michaels steals the tag from Justin Cole before Austin Lane tags himself in as Brett calls for the GunShow Lariat to take out the opposing team and make Kross tap out to the STF. After the match, Justin Cole has to play peackeeper between Brett and Austin.
