Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for December 16, 2023

K-Toomer beats Jay Smooth. After the match, Dustin Starr interviews K-Toomer at the announce desk. K-Toomer says the Heritage Championship represents history and that none of this means without being a part of that written history, and he is here to write his. He then calls out King Cobra, saying they need to talk. After the commercial break, King Cobra shows up, and K-Toomer wants to know where he is following putting Mike Anthony down while Anthony was #1 contender to the Heritage Championship. After King Cobra says that K-Toomer is #1 contender, Mike Anthony shows up and says he was the #1 contender last time he checked, but K-Toomer says that last time he checked, he put Mike Anthony down. Mike Anthony threatens to sue King Cobra if he does not honor his #1 contendership just before "The GunShow" Brett Michaels shows up and declares himself the #1 contender. King Cobra makes both Mike Anthony and K-Toomer #1 contenders and puts all three men in a Triple Threat Match for the Memphis Wrestling Heritage Championship, much to Mike Anthony's irritation. Mike Anthony hits K-Toomer in the back with a chair, and security has to stop Brett Michaels from going after him. Mike Anthony leaves, but not without hitting one of the security guards (who has played Waldo in the Halloween battle royal as well as at Brighton Brawl 2).

Hustlers leave, Barnabas loses it and realizes that they need Barnabas the Leader, not Barnabas the Producer.

He says that not one wrestler had better sign that petition, but Dustin Starr reminds Blaylock that "All The Way" Ray Collins has signed that petition before Eric Young suddenly shows up. Eric Young says he has been here only long enough to know he does not lie Blaylock or Viciouss and that every wrestler in the back has signed that petition, and if they do not watch their mouths, he will also sign it. He then says that he and Viciouss have a match and that it is time to figure things out right now.
