The faces charge early and gain the advantage. Dundee still has great punches.When the match settles down, Dundee grabs Slick Rick’s cap and puts it on backwards which was amusing. Slash is working over Brown inside the ring. Big brawl erupts when the tag is made as the show is winding down. Referee ends up throwing the match out as they put in the hard sell to Lawler returning next week. It feels like both Memphis shows were biding time until that happened this week. *

Brickhouse Brown wasn’t someone I was expecting to see pop up in 2000, while ‘The Superstar’s’ female entourage has depleted by half from the last time we saw him. After a chaotic opening, which saw the face trio rush the heels, the action starts to slow down. Dundee is too busy re-positioning a cap that he stole from ‘Slick Rick’ that he misses breaking up Rob Harlem’s cover on Brickhouse, leaving him to have to kick out instead. Double back elbow by the Regulators. Slash with a suplex, and this time Dundee remembers, coming off the top with a double axe handle to break up the pin attempt. ‘The Superstar’ seems to be a law unto himself in this. Big spinning wheel kick by Rob before he gives Spellbinder a shove on the apron. Binder falls for the ploy as it was just a way to distract the referee, as while he’s dealing with him, Rob and Slash are double teaming Brickhouse behind his back. Scoop powerslam out of nowhere, but Brickhouse isn’t able to make the tag. The match breaks down soon after with the ref letting everything go. Slash just waltzes into the ring at one point with the official not even attempting to stop him, and after Brickhouse tags Dundee, Spellbinder enters the ring too. Myles Long is out to attack Dundee, and despite this being right in front of the referee, it’s not disqualification worthy. Slash uses the fork on ‘the Superstar’ and still no disqualification. Spike piledriver and the bell rings, the ref having thrown the match out because he couldn’t control the wrestlers any more. Not due to outside interference, not due to the uses of foreign object and not due to the spike piledriver! The show closes with Dave Brown reminding everyone that Jerry Lawler will be on the show and in the studio next week.

 

The referee’s care free attitude to officiating this tells you everything, as this was a case of ‘the big dog is back next week so go and fill up six minutes of TV time please’. Hoping that the arrival of Lawler is the shot in the arm that Power Pro needs as it is feeling like a dying territory right now.
