This was technically Lawler/Stacy vs King/Hales but the seconds never tagged in, so we effective had a Lawler-King match. Rex King has changed his hairstyle so much from the feathered and frosted look from a decade earlier that I would never have known that was him if I didn't ... know it was him. King is a Randy Hales charge out to destroy Lawler. King was in good shape here and worked hard. This was shaping up to be one of the better Power Pro TV matches of the year, but it was rushed.

 

Post-match, Lawler puts Hales on his shoulders and attempts to take off with him, but KID WIKKID makes the save and pummels Lawler. This gives Hales an opening to grab Stacy and attempt to throw her in the dumpster. However, Brandon Baxter jumps out of the dumpster and attacks an unsuspecting Hales. Action spills outside into the parking lot with Bill Dundee also gets involved. This makes for some great TV, old school Memphis style.

 

After a commercial break, Brandon Baxter cuts a babyface promo in the ring and I feel like we need some resolution to the storyline with him lying about Stacy. Did he ever cop to anything? Baxter wants Hales to come out and fight.

Rex King is as Memphis B team heel as you can get. Good studio match and Hales needed a new charge to get behind. The aftermath here was glorious though with Hales dragging Stacy to the dumpster, Baxter jumping out and going nuts and Dundee getting involved. We even get a shoving match between Dundee and Lawler which was awesome. (**)

Decent studio action with a distraction-rollup finish. The angle afterward is cool, with Baxter taking advantage of Randy Hales guaranteeing he'd put Stacy in a Dumpster all throughout the show, by going out to hide in the Dumpster himself to make the save. Everyone heads out to the parking lot for a brawl, and we get an accidental punch from Lawler delivered to Dundee, triggering a separate confrontation. Brandon Baxter promises to confront Randy Hales at the house show tonight.
