Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for November 16, 2024

Dustin Starr interviews Tugboat at the announce desk. Tugboat says it is great to be here with all the fans losing their minds at the matches and great to be back in Memphis, and while it has changed a lot, it is still a city of legends. As Dustin Starr reminisces about Tugboat asking everyone to write letters to Hulk Hogan, J. Webb shows up alongside Makkari Kandy while doing his best Shockmaster impression, complete with glitter falling off the helmet. Makkari introduces herself and J. Weeb, and asks if Tugboat can sign his sailor's hat. Suddenly, Lord Gaston shows up as Tugboat signs the hat. As Gaston says that he needs no invitation, Tugboat says nobody cares about Gaston's opinion before saying he is old-school and challenges him to a match. Gaston accepts the challenge, and Gaston faces J. Webb in the ring.

J. Webb beats Lord Gaston after Gaston knocks the candy bucket out of Makkari Kandy's hands, causing Tugboat to grab Gaston and throw him back in the ring, allowing J. Webb to hit a Samoan Drop for the win.

We see part of Dustin Starr's sit-down interview with Derrick King. Derrick says he is retiring not because of any recent failures, but because he knows he cannot do this forever. He says he will retire from in-ring competition but still continue to make future stars. Derrick says he looks forward to helping out in other roles, and while he has some loose ends to tie up, this is it for him, and he is comfortable enough to walk away from in-ring competition. It is announced that more of the interview will be shown next week.

"Main Event" Bradley and Big Nasty Phil beat "The Chosen One" Zay Washington and Denzel Rollins after stopping a double team from Washington and Rollins and grabbing the tights on the roll-up on Washington.

Dustin Starr interviews Big John Dalton at the announce desk. He says that it has been a great summer becoming two-time Rumble on the Trail winner and 2024 Man of the Year in his home county. He admits that he has failed in his recent championship endeavors, and does not want to be remembered as "Buff Bagwell's tag team partner" and that his road to goal begins today.

"The GunShow" Brett Michaels vs. Reverend Ash Taylor ends with Brother Bruce and "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt attacking Brett Michaels shortly after it begins. Brett Michaels soon overpowers them, hitting Brother Bruce with a spinebuster before hitting Ryan Rembrandt with a delayed vertical suplex. When Brett gets his hands on Reverend Ash Taylor, Marrow shows up. Brett lets go of Ash Taylor and confronts Marrow when he gets in the ring, and that allows Ash Taylor to hit Brett from behind with the collection plate so that Marrow can hit Brett with a reverse DDT.

Backstage, The Nyxx Network (Sir Matt and Lord Gaston) make fun of Big John Dalton for having such a "big, fat losing streak" that he could not break it even if he tried. Assistant Matchmaker Michael shows up and asks Big John if he wants to try, and puts him in a match against Lord Gaston. When Sir Matt insists it will be one-on-one, Michael shows up back and bans Sir Matt from ringside.

Dustin Starr interviews The Hollywood Clique ("Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock, Van Viciouss, Secret Service) at the announce desk. Jimmy Blaylock announces that he has gone over Matchmaker and Assistant Matchmaker King Cobra's and Michael's heads and has filed the formal complaint, then calls King Cobra and Michael out. King Cobra and Michael show up, and calls them both the biggest mistakes in Memphis Wrestling before accusing them of putting so many barrier around Van Viciouss that he is unable to do anything without them getting in the way. He also accuses them of keeping Van Viciouss out of the Cobra Cup Tournament and letting the fans sign a petition to remove Blaylock himself from Memphis Wrestling, and also accuses some of the fans of signing the petition twenty times. Blaylock also mentions Van Viciouss being put in a match against "All The Way" Ray Collins with his contract with Memphis Wrestling on the line, and says that he sees no other manager going through that. He then says that he has gone over King Cobra's and Michael's heads and want them terminated from Memphis Wrestling. Dustin Starr explains to King Cobra and Michael that Blaylock directly contacted the Championship Committee and complained that they were unfit to make matches in Memphis Wrestling, even going so far as to claim that he could make better matches than them. He then tells King Cobra and Michael that they are under investigation by the Championship Committee. Van Viciouss proclaims that something was finally done right and that King Cobra and Michael need to be investigated, and Dustin Starr apologizes to King Cobra and Michael, saying that he had nothing to do with the decision and that Jimmy Blaylock made the call. King Cobra tells Blaylock he can investigate him all he wants, as all he does is make the matches the way that the fans want them, but Blaylock immediately accuses King Cobra of bias against The Hollywood Clique. Michael says that Blaylock does nothing but run his mouth and says that maybe Van Viciouss just does not have it, and asks them if they ever thought about that. That gives King Cobra the idea to make one more match as Matchmaker: Van Viciouss vs. Michael.

Jake Painter beats Sycho Simon by disqualification after throwing a metal folding chair at him. After the match, Simon keeps grabbing chairs andhitting Painter with them as referees and security to restore order.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Chosen One" Zay Washington at the announce desk. Zay says he usually likes to get in the ring and handle his business, then says that while SuperBout III was a great show for a lot of people, it was not a great show for him. Zay says he was robbed of his opportunity by somebody he thought he trusted and called a friend and even travelled the roads with, then calls out "All Heart" Blake Christian, saying that he knows he is watching and that he and everybody knows that he is one of the best wrestlers in the world and he is challenging him for the Game Changer Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. All of a sudden, "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Justin Case show up, and Roberts says that Zay cannot hold a friendship and that he wants to challenge for a title when he could not even hold the Internet Championship. Zay reminds Roberts that he was the one to disgrace the Internet title by spray painting in front of the announce desk, and now he suddenly wants to act like the face of the championship. When Zay calls Roberts "an egg suckin' hypocrite," Roberts sucker punches him. This starts a brawl between the two men that ends with Roberts planting him with an Uranage. Suddenly, Tim Bosby shows up and confronts Aaron Roberts, then gets in the ring. Justin Case holds Aaron Roberts back before the two of them leave the ring.

We hear from K-Toomer, who says that he has seen the recent footage of him getting beaten down about a thousand times over by now, and ever since it happened, people have been asking what his answer is. K-Toomer tells The Circuz that he will get to do something that he has not done in a long time, and simply says "It's on sight."

Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont), and wants a match where The L.A. Hustlers cannot run and hide and it's just his team against them in the ring. Assistant Matchmaker Michael shows up and proposes a tornado tag match. Ray Ray and Derrick love the idea, and it is soon made official.

Big John Dalton beats Lord Gaston. Sir Matt is barred from ringside during this match.

When asked how he is feeling backstage, "The GunShow" Brett Michaels states that he feels like whipping Reverend Ash Taylor's ass.

He says that when he is in the building, it is for a reason, and that he understands that there is a group of guys running roughshod in Memphis Wrestling known as The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, Brother Bruce, Sister Jennifer, "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt). The Righteous Path soon show up, then "Reverend" Ash Taylor says it is their time and that The Pope is trying to desecreate their house and take their flock. He says that he knows what The Pope does, but he is a generous man, and he will give him one chance to make the decision to join The Righteous Path. "Righteous" Ryan Rembrandt pushes a pamphlet, then The Pope notes that "Reverend" Ash Taylor has failed to introduce himself and asks the fans who "Reverend" Ash Taylor is, which leads to a "Reverend Ash-Hole" chant.
