Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for July 8, 2023

Maria Starr is on commentary this week.

"The GunShow" Brett Michaels beats "Astonishing" Austin Mulitalo. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews Brett Michaels at the announce desk. Brett Michaels says that there has always been a target on his back and that he does not run from anybody. Brett then says that whether it is Danny Limelight, Lance Archer or anyone else in the United Wrestling Network, Memphis Wrestling is his house and it is going to stay that way.



We hear from King Cobra, who says he is tired of seeing The Roberts Family Legacy ("The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts, Cordale Roberts, Big Red) lie and cheat and that he will be the special guest enforcer for the main event today. He also warns Big Red that if he gets in the ring, he will take care of him personally.

Dustin Starr interviews Ray Ray Sanders and Derrick King. Ray Ray Sanders says that they have a target on their back, but they do not appreciate what The O'Neal Brothers did to them last week. Derrick King says he does not know who The O'Neill Brothers are, but as he says that everyone wants to be the tag team champions and that they will take on them or any team at any time, The O'Neal Brothers show up, brawl with Ray Ray and Derrick and ultimately lay them out.



Dustin Starr interviews "The Pope" Elijah Burke at the announce desk. The Pope says he has travelled some lonely roads, rough roads and even dusty roads, but when the road leads to Memphis, it is "all good, all day long." He says that when he is in the building, it is for a reason, and that he understands that there is a group of guys running roughshod in Memphis Wrestling known as The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, Brother Bruce, Sister Jennifer, "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt). The Righteous Path soon show up, then "Reverend" Ash Taylor says it is their time and that The Pope is trying to desecreate their house and take their flock. He says that he knows what The Pope does, but he is a generous man, and he will give him one chance to make the decision to join The Righteous Path. "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt pushes a pamphlet, then The Pope notes that "Reverend" Ash Taylor has failed to introduce himself and asks the fans who "Reverend" Ash Taylor is, which leads to a "Reverend Ash-Hole" chant. The Pope then reads the pamphlet before tearing it up, and "Reverend" Ash Taylor tells Sister Jennifer to get in the ring and show what happens to people who cross them.



"The Pope" Elijah Burke guests on commentary for the next match.

Diana Taylor beats Sister Jennifer after "The Pope" Elijah Burke stops the rest of The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, Brother Bruce, "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt) from interfering.



Big John Dalton beats Storybook Prince Gaston. As per pre-match stipulation, Big John Dalton will face Matt Williams on July 13th at Ingomar High School in New Albany, Mississippi. During the match, Storybook Prince Gaston gets so confused that he accidentally pins the referee with a schoolkid pin (which obviously does not win him the match). After the match, Dustin Starr interviews Big John Dalton, who thanks the fans before saying he will have to turn it up against Matt Williams, and he wants his match with Williams to be a no-rules match so he can prove that he is Big John Dalton.



We hear from The Hollywood Clique. "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock issues a challenge to "The GunShow" Brett Michaels for bragging about how he beat Van Viciouss on Beale Street, and says that Van Viciouss slipped and fell in what were unsafe working conditions before the fans attacked him. He says that Brett Michaels will pay and that Van Viciouss will teach him a lesson at Ingomar.



We see footage of "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane taking on three men at once in a training ring. When one of them punches him, Austin Lane takes offense to it and beats the guy down, and "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane takes care of the other two guys.



Backstage, Mackenzie Morgan congratulates Cassandra Golden on becoming #1 contender to the Memphis Wrestling Women's Championship, but is reminded of her loss due to the betrayal from "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx during her #1 contendership match. She says that she needs this shot more than Cassandra Golden does, even as Cassandra Golden says she must right this wrong, and that she lost everything after Nyxx betrayed her. Cassandra then says that they will have to see, and "may the best woman win."



The Roberts Family Legacy ("The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Cordale Roberts) vs. Mike Anthony and K-Toomer ends in a no-contest after both teams brawl to the back. After the brawl goes to the back, Big Red calls out King Cobra, who has accompanied Mike Anthony and K-Toomer to the ring for this match. As King Cobra takes care of Big Red personally, Justin Case gets in the ring, and Big Red lays him out with a Kendo stick. Justin Case and Big Red then flee when K-Toomer and Mike Anthony get back int he ring.
