Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for March 18, 2023

Dustin Starr interviews "The GunShow" Brett Michaels at the announce desk. Brett says there is a house full of people today and that anyone will tell you if it were not for two certain people, there might have been a new Heritage Champion. Dustin Starr then mentions that K-Toomer is not here due to suffering a concussion last week and cannot be cleared. Brett says K-Toomer got screwed last week, but he promises that K-Toomer will get another shot at the Heritage title. He then says The Circuz (Barnabus the Leader and Maurice the Strong) has a problem, and while K-Toomer is not here, he will take them both out right here, right now. "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop then shows up with the Cobra Cup trophy and tells Brett that his head is in the wrong place, and wants to know if Brett is worried about a clown, a trapeze or a bearded lady when he should be worried about him. He then tells Brett he will not have to worry about him this week, as they both have a tag team match.

"The GunShow" Brett Michaels and "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop beat Justin Hale and Billy Madding (who is not even mentioned by name during the match), with Ben Bishop not tagging Brett in at all during the match.

Backstage, Matt Williams and Storybrook Prince Gaston question Nyxx and Mackenzie Morgan's intelligence and say Cassandra Golden is a snake. Gaston then gets a call from James Ellsworth, and he tells Ellsworth that Cassandra Golden will not be a problem. Meanwhile, Big John Dalton has been listening in on Gaston and Williams.

"The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx beats "Dangerous" Diana Taylor after "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock gets on the ring apron and Nyxx tricks Diana Taylor into nearly inadvertently knocking Jimmy off the apron, allowing Nyxx to stack Diana Taylor up for the win. After the match, Diana Taylor blames "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock for the loss and walks out on The Hollywood Clique.

Backstage, Big John Dalton is about to tell Mackenzie Mitchell about Cassandra Golden when Cassandra shows up. Big John Dalton then changes the subject to that of a spring break part and hopes to see Mackenzie there, then Cassandra and Mackenzie talk strategy.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Franchise" Shane Douglas at the announce desk after Douglas high-fives the fans. Douglas tells everyone to take what is going on in, as this is Memphis Wrestling, then calls Memphis "the southern version of Philadelphia" that was full of hard-working people, then asks the fans if they are the home of sports entertainment or professional wrestling. The fans make it clear they are the home of professional wrestling, and after Shane Douglas says this place is where future stars will come from, he then brings up Tim Bosby, who he says has a future as a wrestler and not a sports entertainer. Douglas calls out Bosby, and Bosby shows up. Douglas then admits that the Internet Championship does not like a belt worthy of carrying for Bosby and throws it in the trash, then goes to the back and comes back with a new black Internet Championship belt. He says this belt is worthy of "the new franchise," and declares Tim Bosby "the new franchise" before handing the new championship belt to him. Suddenly, "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane. Austin Lane introduces himself to Shane Douglas and says he has all the respect in the world for him, but if there is going to be a new franchise in Memphis, it will be him, not Bosby, as he has been up and down the road and has done a lot in Memphis Wrestling, and because he can create stars. He says that he was not 100% in his last match with Tim Bosby, and says that next week, he will face Tim Bosby again with the Internet Championship on the line to see who is the new franchise of Memphis Wrestling. Douglas says this sounds like a great idea. Austin Lane offers to shake Bosby's hand and says "May the best man win," but Bosby pulls his hand away and says "I will."

We hear from Barnabus the Leader, who says that according to P.T. Barnum, there is a sucker born every minute, and that there is no bigger sucker than K-Toomer after Maurice the Strong destroyed and eliminated him from Memphis Wrestling forever. Barnabus says the fun in his big top is only just beginning.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Justin Case at the announce desk. Justin Case says Aaron Roberts is not in a very good mood today, and that the guy in the ring made a bad decision to debut today, as Roberts is about to send an example to the locker room about why nobody should mess with him.

"The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts quickly beats the debuting Galon Ray. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews Aaron Roberts again. Roberts says this is quick work for him, and that while man after man has been put in front of him, he has come out on top, and that he does not care about any "Sho' 'nuffs."

Backstage, "The GunShow" Brett Michaels is met by Ben Bishop, who tells Brett that he had to show him what he is all about after sitting in the sideline for the last year. He says he will not attack Brett from behind and that he will be going right for his face, and that he will beat him for the Heritage Championship.

Dustin Starr interviews Uncle Mikey at the announce desk. Mikey says the family feud is over and that he has had enough with the shenanigans, and that he thought it would be over after he and Cousin Luke beat "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn and Uncle Phil. He says Uncle Phil does not have what it takes, as Memphis was made for Mikey. Dustin Starr then interviews "Main Event Bradley" and Uncle Phil. Brad says it is not over until he says it is over, and that if it were not for Uncle Mikey sticking his nose in their business and bringing in Cousin Luke, they would have won. He then says that he and Uncle Phil are going to put an end to Uncle Mikey, as he is sick of all this. Uncle Phil says this will not end until he teaches Uncle Mikey a few lessons, family style.

"Main Event" Brad Skimahorn guests on commentary for the next match.

Uncle Mikey beats Uncle Phil with a roll-up after fending off both Phil and "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn and escaping a Doomsday Device attempt. After the match, however, Phil and Bradley attack Uncle Mikey, then Phil tosses an electric razor to Bradley, who hits Mikey in the forehead with the razor before shaving Mikey's moustache off. Before the show ends, Bradley hits Mikey with The Stroke in the middle of the ring.
