Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for October 3, 2026

Dustin Starr interviews Matchmaker King Cobra at the announce desk. King Cobra, who has the Internet Championship in his hands, has a couple of good names who will challenge for the title. One of them is VaShawn Harvey, who is #1 contender, and as soon as his name is mentioned, VaShawn shows up with Marko Stunt, saying that King Cobra can cut the entire spiel and hand him the title, as he is rightfully deserving of it and he never got his rematch. The other name King Cobra mentions is Big John Dalton, then King Cobra says that the match will be signed for today. Big John says he had VaShawn beat last time, but Marko Stunt got involved, and he now has back-up in the form of Buff Bagwell. Buff says that VaShawn has a big mouth and he is here to shut it, and that he will be in the main event to make sure that Marko Stunt does not do anything as he punks Marko Stunt and VaShawn out.
