Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for October 7, 2023

"All The Way" Ray Collins and JTG beat "Main Event" Brad Skimahorn and Phil.

We hear from "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane and "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane in footage from Memphis Wrestling Plus. Austin Lane says Mackenzie Morgan may be one of the best women's wrestlers in Memphis history, but Nikki is the greatest. Nikki says she has been selling shows out and winning championships while Mackenzie was still in a training bra, and Austin says that Nikki paved the road for her. Nikki says that when Mackenzie gets on her road, she will get run over.

Dustin Starr interviews local Memphis musician Hope Clayburn at the announce desk. Hope says she is proud to bring something good to both Memphis music and Memphis wrestling, then we see the premiere for the music video for "Nobody," which features Memphis Wrestling wrestlers and is shot at the WrestleCenter. The video is cut short by "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx, who has just been seen in the video. Nyxx says the only reason Hope is here and anyone is watching her video is because she is in it, and says that in the video, she got her hands on her and she didn't beat her up nearly as bad as she wanted to. As Nyxx wants Hope in the ring, "DDT" Diana Taylor shows up and stands up for Hope Clayburn before saying they will handle things in the ring right now.

"DDT" Diana Taylor beats "The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx following the distraction by Hope Clayburn. After the match, we see more of the music video for "Nobody."

In footage from earlier today, K-Toomer and Mike Anthony head towards the WrestleCenter.

We see footage of Fred Rosser and JTG singing autographs at the WrestleCenter.

Mike Anthony and K-Toomer beat Eric Fallen and Will Blackwell. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews K-Toomer and Mike Anthony at the announce desk. Mike Anthony and K-Toomer take a walk around the ring one time as the crowd makes some noise, then Mike Anthony says he and K-Toomer are on fire. K-Toomer says it is the same page and the same mission with a bigger picture.

We see footage from earlier this week of King Cobra going through forms and looking at footage at the WrestleCenter.

Reverend Ash Taylor guests on commentary for the next match.

Big John Dalton beats Brother Bruce by countout. During the match, Reverend Ash Taylor calls Brother Bruce off as Bruce has Dalton in a crossface in the middle of the ring, and tells the referee to start the count. Reverend Ash Taylor then says they are giving Big John Dalton a victory, and tells him that if he joins them, he will get endless victories, one after another. Big John Dalton wins by count-out, then Reverend Ash Taylor asks him to give The Righteous Path some consideration before giving him a call when he is ready. He then hands Dalton a pamphlet, which Dalton looks at before heading to the back.

We see a face-to-face meeting with Mikey and "The GunShow" Brett Michaels. Mikey says he is excited to have a Memphis Heritage title match after all he has gone through. Brett gives Mikey credit where credit is due and tells him to take his shot. It becomes obvious that despite the respect between both men, there is still some tension. Both men then shake hands.

The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) vs. Too Kool II (Tim Grind and Flex) in a special challenge match that sees belts and chairs being used as weapons - and Lance McKay being spanked by Tim Grind - ends in a no contest by referee decision. During the match, Mr. Chris and Flex fight their way to the locker room and to the back of the building, and as the referee team shows up to tell Dustin Starr that something has happened outside of the WrestleCenter, a mystery driver in a red Toyota pick-up truck seemingly hits Flex head on before the camera is cut. The match is soon stopped and ruled a no contest by referee's decision, and Simon chases ring announcer Terrence Ward to the back before screaming at Dustin Starr to end the show.

Derrick King and Ray Ray Sanders retain the Memphis Wrestling Tag Team Championships against Ellsworth Enterprises (Matt Williams and Storybook Prince Gaston), the team of Gio Savage and Draco, The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont), and the team of "Big Swole" Justin Cole and "Casanova" Colton Cage in a Five-Starr Five Way Match.

We hear from The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris). Mr. Chris says that while Too Cool II (Tim Grind and Flex) run West Tennessee, they run Memphis. Simon says Tim Grind brought Flex here to get his head beaten in, and that he will knock their teeth out before Lance finishes the job.

We see footage of Tommy Dreamer defending the IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Championship against "Main Event" Bradley after Bradley tries to run off with the belt and Dreamer makes the match hardcore.

Backstage, Terrence Ward interviews "Astonishing" Austin Mulitalo and Brandon Berretta. Austin says he only teamed with Brandon because he was told to and that if would give him an opportunity, and that he never wanted to do it and he wanted to go solo. Brandon says Austin only cares about being a star, and says he can give him an astonishing beatdown today. This leads to a one-on-one match between the two.

"Astonishing" Austin Mulitalo beats Brandon Berretta after Berretta nearly sandwiches the referee into the corner with Mulitalo and Mulitalo hits Berretta with a low blow.

Backstage, King Cobra is seen filling out a job application.

Backstage, Terrence Ward interviews Tim Bosby and Mackenzie Morgan. Bosby says "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane cheated to beat him last week and cost him his match with Big Nico, but now he has Mackenzie as back-up. Mackenzie says she has always had Bosby's back, and she and Bosby say that they will handle Austin and "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane.

Dustin Starr interviews The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt, Brother Bruce) at the announce desk. Reverend Ash Taylor hopes that Big John Dalton, as The Righteous Path is about to show what they can provide for him. He also says that Big John Dalton did not say no to him, either.

"Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt beats "The Hell Archer" Eric Fallen after Brother Bruce into the apron and Rembrandt whips Fallen into Brother Bruce.

Barnabas the Leader - now known as Barnabas the Producer - and The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont) run into JTG. The L.A. Hustlers clearly want nothing to do with Barnabas, and JTG wants nothing to do with any of them. The Hustlers then say they are through with Barnabas.

Dustin Starr interviews The Hollywood Clique ("Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock, Van Viciouss, Secret Service) at the announce desk. Viciouss says nobody is worried about NZO because it is a new week and he has a new opponent: "Mr. No Days Off" Fred Rosser, who "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock calls out. Fred Rosser shows up, and Blaylock says The Hollywood Clique is "all that," not Rosser, and makes fun of Rosser for being gay saying that Van Viciouss is "everybody's boyfriend's favorite wrestler." Rosser says that no matter where he wrestles, the match will be worth millions of dollars, and that Viciouss will be leaving with three boots: "two on your feet and one in your ass."

Fred Rosser beats Van Viciouss with the crossface chickenwing after escaping Secret Service's grasp and avoiding a punch to the face from Van Viciouss.
