Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for May 20, 2023

Pete Pranica guests on commentary this week.

Dustin Starr interviews "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop at the announce desk. Bishop says everyone knows why he is here, and says that he takes six hour trips to Memphis and back because he respects Memphis, then says that this respect is not reciprocated because everyone wants autographs and all he hears is "Boom. Boom. Boom." As he says that he will make "The GunShow" Brett Michaels look him in the eye, Brett Michaels shows up. Bishop tells him to shine the Memphis Heritage title up, because he will be carrying it across his shoulder and he has the size, look and charisma. Brett then dares Bishop to cash the Cobra Cup in right now and leads a "You scared" chant, but Bishop says he will cash in when he is ready before telling him he will see him next week.



We hear from Justin Case, who says that in a few minutes, he and "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts will see what kind of man Mike Anthony is in a Kendo stick match. Roberts says that he is like nobody Mike has touched before and that it will be lights out for him. We hear from Mike Anthony, who says that redemption comes with a price and that Roberts put a Kendo stick across his back to take him out. He says they will see who can use their Kendo stick better than the next guy.





"Dangerous" Diana Taylor beats Nixi XS.



Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell talks with Cassandra Golden and Big John Dalton about her conflicting feelings regarding Nyxx. Cassandra says that McKenzie is not ready to face Nyxx yet, then says they will divide and conquer. She says she will take on Nyxx while Big Jon takes on James Ellsworth. Mackenzie feels discouraged.



Dustin Starr interviews Tommy Dreamer at the announce desk. Dreamer says wrestling in Memphis has always been extreme, then talks about how his mother passed away last week and how he wants to be with his wrestling family, and thanks them for their support for him and his family. As the crowd chants "Thank you, Tommy!" The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) show up from out of the crowd for the first time in weeks and surround Dreamer in the ring before ganging up on him. The Posse then choke Dreamer with a long metal chain before Simon clocks Dreamer with a right hand.





Memphis Wrestling alumnus Tim Grind and Lance McCade arrive at the WrestleCenter, look at the history and meet with Dustin Starr.



Referees are seen checking on Tommy Dreamer and helping him to the back as The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) leave through the crowd entrance.

Derrick King and Ray Ray Sanders retain the Memphis Wrestling Tag Team Championships against Steel Cross (Ethan Steel and Alex Cross).

We see "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock prepare for his match against "Casanova" Colton Cage at the WrestleCenter with the rest of The Hollywood Clique before having a bottle of water and a Twinkie. When he is given a Memphis Grizzlies towel, Blaylock notices that "It stinks!"



"The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts beats Mike Anthony in a Kendo Stick Match. During the match, two big men clad in black hoodies show up and attack Mike Anthony before hitting a three-man powerbomb on him with help from Aaron Roberts. After the match, all three men continue to attack Mike Anthony until multiple referees show up to restore order.
