Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for October 10, 2026

WMC Sports Anchor and Memphis Tigers football legend Doc Holliday hosts this week's show from inside the studios at Action News 5 in Memphis, Tennessee while Dustin Starr calls the action in Jackson, Tennessee.

The Outbreak (Jacksyn Crowley and Abel Booker) and Paige Collett beat The Slaughterhouse (Jagged James, Nasty Nick and Reverend Ash Taylor) and The Modern Day Monsters (Warwolf, Marrow, Sister Asa) in a three-way trios match.



We hear from Doug Gilbert and Tommy Rich, who both want a piece of the Kick Ass Wrestling collective.

Before the next match, Derrick King calls out the Kick Ass Wrestling collective, saying that they "have some ass-kicking to do right now."

K-Toomer and "The Gift" Ryan Sanders vs. Chris Rocker and Bullwhip Ballard ends when Terry Golden hits K-Toomer with the Big Mane Fight Championship with help from Ballard. After the match, Hollywood Little shows up and goes on the attack along with Terry Golden. Doug Gilbert and Tommy Rich show up only to turn on K-Toomer and Sanders and reveal themselves as members of the Kick Ass Wrestling collective, and when members of the locker room show up to make the save, the numbers game is too much.



We hear from Mike Anthony, who says that he and Marko "Hangtime" Harris can beat each other and that it depends on who the better man is on any given night. He says that this is an home invasion, as he will step into Marko's backyard and he will need the whole town as a nightmare is on its way to beat him and stay Heritage Champion. We then hear from Marko "Hangtime" Harris, who then states that the games are over and that they are both in Jackson, Tennessee, where all he does is win, and he is ready to prove himself and become Memphis Wrestling Heritage Champion. He then welcomes Mike Anthony to his own nightmare.

Marko "Hangtime" Harris beats Mike Anthony to become the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Champion! This happens after Marko "Hangtime" Harris hits four cutters: one from the mat, one from the bottom rope, one from the middle rope and one from the top rope.

Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for August 8, 2026

Dustin Starr has an impromptu interview with James Ellsworth at the announce desk. Ellsworth tells The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamonte) that they have this, then The Monster Day Monsters (Warwolf, Marrow, Sister Asa) show up.

The Monster Day Monsters (Warwolf, Marrow, Sister Asa) beat James Ellsworth and The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamonte) in a six-person tag match.



We hear from The Slaughterhouse (Reverend Ash Taylor, Jagged James, Nasty Nick). Reverend Ash Taylor says that they are not feared enough and that nobody understands, and that they had to get everyone's attention. He says that since everyone is worried about the tag team titled, nobody was worried about them, and states that The Whites (Kevin and Gavin White) and The Bizness Dawgs (Tim Grind and Lil' Homie) are next on the chopping block.



Xya and Gigi Turner beat Ally X and Dahlia Black. During the match, C-Rex shows up, and her mere presence is enough to cause Dahlia Black to run.



We hear from Coach Pillar, who thanks Big John Dalton for the shout-out last week and tells VaShawn Harvey that he will get what is coming to him. He says he will be here next week with a big surprise, and that he will see the fans soon.



Terry Golden is escorted by security to the announce desk, where he is interviewed by Dustin Starr, who does not even want Golden here. Golden mouths off at Dustin and calls him a joke and a fraud, who calls for security, when Derrick King shows up. Derrick King says Terry Golden only created Kick-Ass Wrestling because he could not succeed in real wrestling and hired a bunch of misfits to run a company, and Golden says that nothing has come out of Memphis Wrestling and that KAW was only the beginning. He says that KAW actually sold tickets, unlike Memphis Wrestling, and says that Derrick King is as much of a fraud as Dustin and that he was the one to sign a contract with WWE. Derrick King says Terry Golden may have made Hall of Famers, but he is not a Hall of Famer himself and neither is KAW, and proposes a match between KAW and Memphis Wrestling's best. Golden says Derrick has never been in a real fight and calls him a paper champion and Dustin a paper chump before accepting the challenge, saying that it will never be the same and that "all the white trash" in Memphis Wrestling will work for him. This leads toa shoving match between Derrick and Golden.



We see a short recap of the recent MadonnaMania event.
