----The story I am getting is that Jerry Lawler DID hit Sal Corrente. Corrente was headed to the back crossing in front of where Lawler was standing behind a curtain [Lawler and Spellbinder had been standing there watching the main event]. Corrente had got into it with a fan and the fan apparently threw a punch. As he came across the stage, Lawler hit him sending him off his feet. Corrente then ran to another part of the dressing room saying, “Lawler just shot on me!!” He was suppose to go do something else at the end of the show, but told security he was not coming out. He finally came back on the stage and Maclin/him went at it [worked] and then Koko jumped in and threw a few stiff punches. Corrente then had security come in the dressing room with him, so he could get his stuff. Corrente left the dressing room pretty much saying, “Fuck this..” and Maclin was seen chasing him out to talk to him. I plan to follow this story up as soon as I can get some concrete details. But, why the hell would Lawler just slug him??
----And for the record, everyone I have talked to since last night has no idea why Lawler hit Corrente. Some of the boys thought it was actually an angle, until they seen the mark on Corrente’s face. I was also told that even though Maclin was throwing some weak ass looking chair shots, the match overall had very good heat. I will try to keep everyone up to date on the story as it folds out. Sal Corrente is NOT at the TV tapings this morning.

----Corey Maclin opens the show airing clips from cage match - Maclin/Koko took the Assassin II's mask off and the Assassins ran off. Maclin threw a chair at them as they were leaving. Corey had the mask at the desk and he said, "I was going to do something that shocked the wrestling world." WTF?? Shock us and quit wrestling!!!
----Derrick King interview. Johnny Dotson comes out. Dotson jumps DK and slams DK's head into the announcer's bell. DK juiced and Dotson kept beating on him throwing him in the ring. Finally Tatt2/Chris Lexx came out to do a pull-a-part and they grabbed Dotson. As they were holding Dotson, DK kicked Dotson - nut shot!! DK then got out of the ring and left. Good blood and good angle.
----Mr. Hughes interview. Tatt2 by DQ over Mr. Hughes. Tatt2 looked real good here. Hughes gave Tatt2 plenty here. Hughes pulled a chain out and started using it on Tatt2. Jerry Calhoun Dq'ed Hughes for the chain. Hughes kept beating on Tatt2 until Jerry Lawler came out for the save.
----Lawler interview. They show Hollywood Jimmy and Grady Watson backstage arguing. Lawler says they were arguing about who was the biggest embarrassment in the state of Mississippi. LOL Lawler also plugs the All Pro Productions Millington, TN show this coming Friday night at the North 82 Gym. Mr. Hughes comes out. Lawler challenges him to get in the ring. Hughes walks off.
----"New Nature Boy" Kevin White by using the ropes beat Chris Lexx. Lexx got a good reaction. White was talking about the Spellbinder while in the ring. The Spellbinder’s music started playing. Short match, but good. Garry White [Kevin's Dad ]comes out. Garry says that Kevin has a phobia for magic. He had an experience when he was 6 years old. Kevin was screaming and shaking when the music was playing. Kevin was funny. Gary says he has two special agents to take care of Spellbinder. Alex Krisis and K-Hill were the two agents dressed in suits with sunglasses – “Men In Black” look. Spellbinder comes out with his Skull stick that shot fire out of the top of it. Everyone ran. Good skit.
----Reggie B Fine interview. Fine says that he has a phobia for mascots. This was funny. Fine/Insane Clowns with Rashard vs "The Posse" [Lil Chris/Simon Reed]/King Cobra ruled no contest. Heat on Chris with hot tag to Cobra. Good TV bout.
----Tim Grind interview. Great interview. Grind blamed Dustin Starr for Flex getting hurt. Starr came out and told Grind it was not his fault that Flex got hurt, but he would fight him. Grind beat Starr using his belt to hit Starr in the face. Grind went for the Southern Tag Title to use, but ref got it from him, then he used his pants belt. This was a very good match. Starr had a new singlet on and made him look even more legit as a wrestler. This was one of the best singles TV bouts of the year.
----July 20, 2007 is the next "Sam's Town" show...July 28, 2007 Memphis Wrestling will be taped on the Memphis Redbirds field after the game...Maclin got over the point during the DK/Dotson angle that Dotson was upset about the match last night. This would give us the reasoning for a face to act like a heel - Steamboat/Flair Mid-Atlantic angle. I give Maclin hell a lot of the time, but he did excellent here getting over that angle...Rude/Pokerface were back as the "Clowns" this week. Even though I like the NBN gimmick better, the Clowns were hilarious this week...Corey Maclin mentioned that Koko and him had tore off the Assassin's mask and that Jerry Lawler had took care of Sal Corennte. He said it would a long, long time before we saw Corrente again. I plan to have the clip up sometime today on the site…Tim Grind is in great shape…Another real good show. Good wrestling, angles and skits.
