Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for October 17, 2026

Dustin Starr interviews Mike Anthony at the announce desk. Mike Anthony grabs the microphone and demands his rematch for the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Championship while also admitting that Marko "Hangtime" Harris was the better man eight days ago, then tells Marko Harris to "get [his] Billy Dee Williams lookin' ass out here," which causes Maria Starr to laugh on commentary. Matchmaker King Cobra shows up and says he has a contract signed and that Mike Anthony had his shot. Mike Anthony takes the sheet of paper out of King Cobra's hand and rips it up before getting in the ring, and Marko "Hangtime" Harris shows up with senior official David Knight, who needs the help of multiple referees to hold Marko Harris back. King Cobra then makes Mike Anthony vs. Marko "Hangtime" Harris for the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Championship the main event for today.
