Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for December 24, 2022

Reverend Ash Taylor heads to a podium between the announce desk and the ring to hold a sermon. Before talking about the holiday, he talks about the disrespect he received at Starrs of Tomorrow. He says he expected more from the fans, but instead, he received garbage and trash. Nevertheless, he has decided to forgive the fans before leading them in prayer, then Tommy Dreamer shows up. Taylor takes exception to this, and says he is "a sinner" and "a no-good" heathen while poking his chest after saying that he has followed Dreamer's career. Dreamer tries to talk some sense into Taylor, then punches him in the face, sends him into the ring post, hits him with a trash can and chops him in the chest. He then grabs him by the scarf and throws him into the wall, then tells Taylor that when he insults the great people of Memphis, he has to come out here, as he grew up watching Memphis wrestling. Dreamer then praises not only the Lord, but also the world of professional wrestling and the fact that he helped sell out another house in the city before welcoming everyone to the show. Dreamer then offers to be in the main event, to which Dustin Starr agrees, then says it is a pleasure to see everyone in Memphis except for Reverend Ash Taylor.

Aaron Roberts says he has not forgotten about Tim Bosby, as he has benefitted from his and Justin Case's actions, then says he can either hand him the Internet Championship that he says he is too big for, or he can take it from him.
