Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for May 7, 2022

Dustin Starr interviews "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock at the announce desk. Blaylock says The Hollywood Horror Show (Jackson Crowley, Otis Crowley, The Revenant of Walker Hayes) is over and that he will never deal with crazy people again. He then produces pictures of himself with Conan O'Brian, Tom Green, Tim Meadows and other stars. Blaylock then says he has created a Hollywood clique of his own and signed someone as big as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, saying he needs an action star who has it all. He then brings that man out, and that man is Van Viciouss. Blaylock hands Van Viciouss an envelope full of money, and Viciouss says the best director in the world combined with the best star in the world means big bucks and that he and Blaylock will make Memphis bigger than ever, and that there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Cassandra Golden beats Diana Taylor by disqualification after Diana hits Cassandra with a chair. After the match, "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane shows up before Diana can hit the DDT, and Diana runs away.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Country Rock (Carter Matthews and Chris Hayes) pays off their debt to Big Jack and Bruce, and someone counts it.

We hear from referee Ray Ray Sanders, who talks about his time so far and favorite moments in Memphis Wrestling while training at the WrestleCenter and says that this is only the beginning.

Dustin Starr interviews Evil Uno at the announce desk. Evil Uno says the people do not deserve to see him wrestle tonight, but announces that his opponent is who he is scouting: Uncle Mikey, who he wants a word with. The Skimahorns (Brad Skimahorn, Briar Skimahorn, Uncle Mikey) show up, and Evil Uno says the fans love Mikey because he is extremely athletic and charismatic, then tells him that Brad and Briar as well as his Memphis tries are all holding him down and asks him to be one with The Dark Order. Mikey says home is where the heart is and his home is right here in Memphis, and he is not going anywhere. Uno responds by punching Mikey in the face and slamming him into the ring post, starting their match.

Coming soon: The L.A. Hustlers!

Evil Uno beats Uncle Mikey despite the interference from both Brad Briar and Briar Skimahorn.

Before the next match, Mike Anthony shows up and teases cashing in the Cobra Cup and getting in the ring before guesting on commentary, much to the chagrin of Dustin Starr.

"The GunShow" Brett Michaels retains the Memphis Heritage Championship against "Big Swole" Justin Cole. During the match, Brett Michaels is pre-occupied with Mike Anthony, and this eventually leads to Justin Cole countering the GunShow Lariat with the Swole Slam. As he hits the Swole Slam, Brett's feet hit referee Ray Ray Sanders in the face, knocking him out. As Justin Cole stares down Mike Anthony from across the ring, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) show up and attack Justin Cole from behind with the Memphis Tag Team Championships before placing Brett on top of Justin. Referee Ray Ray Sanders comes to and makes the three-count that allows Brett Michaels to retain.
