Big John Dalton reminds VaShawn that he recently lost to Marko Harris, but VaShawn says he has been a champion while Big John Dalton only won gold because of K-Toomer and Buff Bagwell. He then says that he feels bad for Big Daddy, since he is going to die knowing his son is a failure. Big John punches VaShawn in the jaw, and referees have to get involved before things get worse.

We hear from Matchmaker King Cobra. He announces that next week's Heritage Championship match between Tim Bosby and Mike Anthony will be two-out-of-three falls and a have a lumberjack match for the second fall, and in case of a third fall, the third fall will be in a submission match.

Suddenly, "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox and Moses show up, and Knox says that he is glad that Colton Cage is injured and hurt, for he would have beaten him for the Junior Heritage Championship anyway and headed to Beverly Hills.

VaShawn Harvey could care less about Eugene, and Marko Stunt says that Eugene is in the past in more ways than one, saying that Eugene was a fan of his and that he and VaShawn got rid him, as the WrestleCenter does not need Eugene when the real champions are running things. Marko Stunt says there is a major reason why he stuck with VaShawn Harvey, as there is only room for one Marko in Memphis Wrestling and he is the better Marko. Marko "Hangtime" Harris shows up and wants to know why Marko Stunt would help VaShawn Harvey after all VaShawn did to him, then tells VaShawn he is taking the Internet Championship back and kicking their asses.

Russo says he has worked with a lot of great Memphis wrestlers - the Jarretts, Jimmy Hart, Jerry "The King" Lawler - but there was one person who made Memphis Wrestling: Andy Kaufman, who he calls the greatest wrestler in Memphis Wrestling history. He says that Andy Kaufman was right about the fans before Matchmaker King Cobra shows up and refuses to let Russo run Memphis Wrestling and the fans down, and that they can settle things in the ring. He tells Vince Russo to pick two people from Juggalo Championship Wrestling and he will pick two people from Memphis Wrestling for a tag team match. Vince Russo takes exception to Matchmaker King Cobra not personally introducing himself and says he is from New York City, not a hick town like Memphis, Tennessee, and while Cobra has a reputation in Memphis, he would not last five minutes in New York City.
