Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for February 18, 2023

In memory of Jerry Jarrett, 1942 - 2023.

Dustin Starr interviews The Hollywood Clique in an impromptu interview. "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock says "Casanova" Colton Cage made the biggest mistake of his career by walking out on them and that they do not need him, and that nobody walks out on the Clique. He says that Colton Cage will miss everything about The Hollywood Clique, and Van Viciouss says that Colton was never Clique material and he should have listened. Blaylock then says he makes the rules here when he says that Van Viciouss will be taking Jason Vain's place in the Cobra Cup tournament.

"Big Trouble" Ben Bishop beats Van Viciouss (who takes Jason Vain's place in the tournament) to advance to the finals of the Cobra Cup Tournament following the distraction from "Casanova" Colton Cage.

After the commercial break, Dustin Starr is about to interview "Casanova" Colton Cage when The Hollywood Clique tries to attack him. He says joining the Clique was the biggest mistake of his career and calls Jimmy Blaylock a con artist who makes false promises. He calls the Clique security goons in suits who should not be within 200 feet of a wrestling ring, then calls Van Viciouss a posing punk before challenging him to a match at SuperBout.

The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont) beat The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) after The Posse refuses to listen to the referee. The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) retain the Memphis Wrestling Tag Team Championships. The Posse continue to attack The L.A. Hustlers after the match and refuse to listen to the referees that show up. Suddenly, Derrick King shows up, and Ray Ray Sanders puts Simon in a sleeper from behind as Derrick fights Mr. Chris. Afterwards, Dustin Starr interviews Derrick and Ray Ray, and Derrick tells The Posse that they will take the tag team titles and take them now. Ray Ray then says they want The Posse at SuperBout.

Maurice the Strong beats Bulletproof Bruce following the distraction from Big Jack. After the match, Big Jack knocks Bulletproof Bruce out with a knee to the face.

Brother Red beats Uncle Mikey to the finals of the Cobra Cup Tournament. As Reverend Ash Taylor distracts the referee, "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn trips Uncle Mikey off the top rope, allowing Brother Red to hit the choke slam for the win. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews Uncle Mikey at the announce desk. Mikey says Brad thinks that he is the only person with friends in the family, then says there were some talks at Thanksgiving and says that he is calling his cousin for some help.

Dustin Starr interviews James Ellsworth, Matt Williams and Storybook Prince Gaston. Ellsworth says they are about to show that men are superior to women in every single way and that their match will be the shortest in Memphis history before he leaves the town. Matt says Cassandra Golden and Nyxx chose to stick their noses in the ring and that they will pay the price, and Gaston says there is nothing wrong with supporting his fellow men against "hussies like them." Dustin Starr then interviews Mackenzie Morgan, Cassandra Golden and "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx. Mackenzie says that girls rule and boys rule. Nyxx says she does not do a lot of talking and that she wants to fight. Cassandra says that as Women's Champion, Mackenzie and Nyxx are her business, and the three of them will show what the women's division can do.

Mackenzie Morgan, Cassandra Golden and "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx beat James Ellsworth, Matt Williams and Storybook Prince Gaston. During the match, "Dirty" Diana Taylor shows up and hits Mackenzie with a DDT, but Mackenzie kicks out. Mackenzie then counters the Sweet Chin Music from Ellsworth with a Zig-Zag as everyone else fights on the outside to get the win for her team.
