Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for August 3, 2024

Dustin Starr interviews "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock at the announce desk. Blaylock introduces Mike Anthony as the newest member of The Hollywood Clique (Blaylock, Van Viciouss, Secret Service). Blaylock says he is the most caring manager in Memphis and that he cares for people, then gives Blaylock a necklace he bought in Beverly Hills. Dustin Starr reads the package and says it came from Temu. Blaylock also puts 24-karat gold glasses on Mike Anthony's face, then says Mike Anthony looks better already and is ready for "The Cowboy" James Storm, who has embarrassed him not once, but twice, and will pay for what he has done to him.

We see footage from after last week's show where Coach Pillar is helped out of the WrestleCenter.

Big John Dalton beats "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn after being able to hit the Bam Bam Slam despite missing big on a top rope splash.

Backstage, Zaya interviews Mackenzie Morgan, who says that she is feeling so good that she will be back in action next week. Mackenzie says she is concerned about the mystery woman, as everyone should be, but everything will be taken care of.

Jay Smooth pulls up to the WrestleCenter in a white Cadillac after "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock refuses to answer his calls or texts and just decides to show up.

We see footage from last month's Kids Camp.

Kirk Swiss beats JT Williams.

We hear from Marti Belle, who is looking for championship gold and is appearing next week.

Dustin Starr interviews Assistant Matchmaker Michael at the announce desk. Michael says he started something at SuperBout that he did not finish, and now Sycho Simon is ruining the shows and he is sick of it. He then calls Sycho Simon out for a fight, and Sycho Simon shows up. Michael says he is tired of this and he has had enough. Simon hits a cheap shot to the throat as he tells Michael to lower his voice, then knocks him out and slams him on the ring steps. Simon then pulls out a table from underneath the ring, and Michael starts to fight back and even grabs some chairs from the side of the arena as he puts the table near the wall. Simon gets the better of Michael and smashes Michael through the table. Simon then makes Dustin Starr look at the destruction, and says that he is going to Mississippi next week while Tommy Dreamer leaves in a body bag. Michael is helped through the back.

The Twins of Salem (Jacksyn Crowley and Abel Booker) beat The O'Neal Brothers (Steven and Devin O'Neal).

We hear from Lord Crewe, who says that he is here to find the biggest, baddest, meanest guy Memphis Wrestling can throw at him. He says he has been scouting the talent and has seen people who are good, but not quite who he is looking for. He says that the target will be acquired next week and that he will find out how tough his opponent is.

Matchmaker King Cobra gets a phone call and finds out what has happened to Assistant Matchmaker Michael, and heads off to meet Michael right now.

Before the next match, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock calls out "The Cowboy" James Storm, who shows up. Blaylock says he has made sure the WrestleCenter is alcohol-free so that Storm cannot spit beer in his face, then blames James Storm for his diabetes and health issues when he shoved his face in a cake not once, but twice. James Storm says this is just business and tells Jimmy Blaylock to be a man, as a real man gets knocked down and gets back up. He also says that he will not be drinking beer because he will beating him up all over the WrestleCenter before grabbing Blaylock. Mike Anthony then starts fighting James Storm, and the match begins.

"The Cowboy" James Storm beats Mike Anthony after Jay Smooth shows up to grab Storm from behind and Mike Anthony wants Jay Smooth out of the ring while "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock distracts the referee. After the match, Jimmy Blaylock chews out Jay Smooth, then James Storm tells Mike Anthony to stand on his own feet and be a man, for America is built off men who get back up, as Mike Anthony is way too good to be with The Hollywood Clique ("Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock, Van Viciouss, Secret Service). He tells Mike Anthony to go home, look in the mirror, and remember the fans chanting for him.
