Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for August 27, 2022

Maria Starr returns to commentary for the first time in weeks.

Dustin Starr interviews Memphis Muscle ("The GunShow" Brett Michaels and "Big Swole" Justin Cole) at the announce desk. Brett Michaels says it felt pretty good to put someone through a table for a change, and Justin Cole says he was sick and tired of being sick and tired and was glad to help Brett out. Justin Cole then asks Brett Michaels to help him out one more time, as he wants a match with The Posse for the Memphis Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) shows up. Simon says that if Memphis Muscle puts their hands on them, it will be the last thing they ever do, but Brett Michaels asks The Posse what they can do to him that hasn't been done to him already. Security and officials have to separate both teams.

We hear from Zay Washington, who calls Aaron Roberts out for stabbing him in the back after he won the Internet title and for not returning any texts or calls. He says that winning the title is cool, but it was cooler with Aaron Roberts at his side. Washington then says he will get answers when he sees Roberts again.

Matt Williams guests on commentary for the next match.

Austin Lane, "The True American" Trace Lee Hunt and Gio Savage beats The Hollywood Clique (Van Viciouss, "Casanova" Colton Cage, Derrick King) with a schoolkid pin from Austin Lane to Van Viciouss when "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock tosses his cane to Derrick King, who then tosses it back to Blaylock when the referee sees it. After Derrick King says he did what he asked and that Van Viciouss lost again, Blaylock mentions the fan that attacked him last week, saying she had "obesity" disease, then we find out that the two bodyguards for the Clique are named Jake and Elwood (an obvious Blues Brothers reference). Blaylock pays Elwood for saving him last week, then Dustin Starr announces that, as per the Championship Committee, Ray Sanders is no longer a referee for The Hollywood Clique. Dustin Starr then gives Diana Taylor an ultimatum: relinquish the Memphis Women's title, or defend it in two weeks against Cassandra Golden and Nyxx. Blaylock says she will defend it, then says he is mad and that things will change around here.

K-Toomer shows up unexpectedly and says the fans have no idea what exactly is going to happen today, then says he will beat "the sugar honey iced tea" out of Big Kon, then says that they will fight and that they might as well go right now. Big Kon suddenly attacks K-Toomer from behind. A security guard gets involved only to be punched out by both men, and more security and some officials try their best to break up the brawl.

Jason Genesis beats Bobby Ford following the distractions and interference by his valet Goddess.

We hear from King Cobra, who says that things are getting really wild in Memphis Wrestling, then dares Mark Anthony to pick on somebody his own size after running roughshod over the trainees. He then says that Money Mark got what was coming to him, and says that there are a lot of similarities between the past and the present in that one never knows what is coming and one never knows who is next.

Dustin Starr interviews Mike Anthony at the announce desk. Anthony says he is his own man and that Pay Up (Big Jack and Bruce) had a job to do and did not get it done, and after Dustin Starr says that Anthony could not get it done like they did, Anthony says Starr's day and the fans' day is coming. He then says he wants a refund and that Pay Up owes him money after failing to take out "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, and Pay Up and Money Mark show up. Mike Anthony tells Pay Up and Money Mark had one job, but Brett Michaels is still walking, breathing and coming after the Memphis Heritage Championship. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony says he has plenty of money and that they can get plenty of things done, but Mike Anthony simply says "You're fired" and demands his money back, as he will deal with Brett Michaels himself. He also says that if they won't give him the money, he will make it back himself because he is the highest paid. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony he will have to go through Big Jack if he wants his money back.

Before the next match, it is reported that Big Kon and K-Toomer are brawling in the VIP area and are now brawling their way to the ring.

K-Toomer beats Big Kon. During the match, Big Kon puts K-Toomer's head through a chair. He almost hits K-Toomer in the head with a sledgehammer when the referee takes the sledgehammer away and K-Toomer gets his head out of the chair before tossing the chair to Big Kon and hitting him with a Gore for the win.
