Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for December 23, 2023

Dustin Starr interviews Ellsworth Enterprises (Matt Williams, Storybook Prince Gaston, "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx) at the announce desk. Nyxx says this is the holiday season and that she has a gift for the fans. She then takes a ceremonial sword and knights Matt Williams and Storybook Prince Gaston as "Sir Matthew" and "Lord Gaston" respectively, which makes her "Queen of Memphis Wrestling." As a bonus gift, she renames Ellsworth Enterprises "The Nyxx Network." Sir Matthew says that she has a wife and kids, but winning the tag team titles with Gaston was the greatest moment of his life.

Backstage, Mikey - now with a very clean look, a three-piece suit and calling himself "Michael" - shows up wanting to help King Cobra. King Cobra says he will think about it.

We see a strange vignette of Christmas imagery and static. Images of The Twins of Salem can also be seen as a voice states to guard against decay.

The Twins of Salem (Jacksyn Crowley and Abel Booker) beat The Top Guns (Brandon Barretta and Joe Vinetti).

Memphis Wrestling wishes everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Backstage, Terrence Ward interviews Ray Ray Sanders, who admits that while he has been feeling down and has let everyone down, he is still willing to fight, and he will enter the Grind City Rumble.

Dustin Starr interviews Big John Dalton at the announce desk. Big John Dalton says he cannot imagine celebrating Christmas any other way than with the fans, then produces Reverend Ash Taylor's to produce some "gifts" for Reverend Ash Taylor.

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

Big Nasty Phil beats Jay Smooth, Big John Dalton and "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt in a Christmas Chaos Match following interference by "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn.

We see footage of U-Gene meeting "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant at the WrestleCenter.

Dustin Starr interviews "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant - dressed as "Boogie Claus" - at the announce desk after Boogie Claus gives out gifts to the fans. Jimmy Valiant says Memphis wrestling is in his heart and soul and will be in him forever, and thanks Dustin Starr for bringing it back. As he thanks the Memphis fans for being the best fans, Van Viciouss and "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock show up. Blaylock wants to know what Jimmy Valiant is here when he has "retired more times than Garth Brooks", then brings out "the real Santa Claus," who is really some guy dressed like Jimmy Valiant trying to make fun of Jimmy. Jimmy Valiant things brings out "All the Way" Ray Collins as back-up, and Ray Collins challenges Van Viciouss to a match.

"All The Way" Ray Collins beats Van Viciouss with a schoolkid pin after "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock gets on the apron and distracts Collins only for Jimmy Valiant to get him and put him to sleep while fending off the fake Jimmy Valiant. After the match, Blaylock - and the fake Jimmy Valiant - suffer the ignominy of having their pants fall down as they and Van Vicouss head to the back, with the fake Jimmy Valiant wearing an obvious diaper.

Dustin Starr interviews matchmaker King Cobra at the announce desk. King Cobra says that he has a Christmas present for everybody, and announces that the first match of 2024 will be a Triple Threat Match for the Memphis Heritage Championship. All of a sudden, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) show up. Simon says "Merry Christmas" to King Cobra before he and Mr. Chris jump King Cobra. Security tries in vain to stop the attack, and Simon hits Kin Cobra with the eye with a spiked shoulder pad. The Posse then grabs a member of security by the hair so that Simon can powerbomb him. Dustin Starr leaves commentary and heads to the ring as The Posse are told to leave just after Simon chokes out a referee.
