Lawler is on the phone and says he will be in the studio. The three way spots and portion here was better than I thought. Of the workers in MPPW, these along with Slash are probably the best overall. Bulldog is not an athletic specimen but has decent charisma and power moves. Finish from Steel off top rope didn't look great but he picks up the win. *1/2

 

 

We come back from break and discover that Lawler and a bunch of folks have arrived. Khan, Koko and Charlie are at the door. The door gets wedged open and we have chaos with Lawler and the entire MCW crew coming out. Kevin Kelly comes out and invades commentary. This is pretty awesome as a beatdown. The Dupps, Tracy, American Dragon etc are all out there and beating down the MPPW crew. Lawler is talking to Dundee and Dundee gives up where Baxter is. Lawler hears that Baxter is in his old dressing room and he is pissed. Baxter is under the table hiding and Lawler laughs at that. Dave putting this off as them being invaded by the WWF is hilarious in one way but does raise the credibility of MPPW overall. Seven returns back and joins the beatdown along with Kevin Kelly. Lawler gets on the announcer mic and says they brought them on themselves. Brown and Corey are flabbergasted saying this isn't the way to go about doing business. Kelly wants to tear down the banners and call this the house that MCW built. Corey yells to go to break and is PISSED. With MCW celebrating at the parking lot, the MPPW wrestlers come out and try to regroup. The fans seem to be pro MCW. Baxter says he will be at the Shelby County building tonight. Baxter says that Spellbinder needs to come out and back up the MPPW guys. Spellbinder comes out and Baxter says he doesn't like him or want him to be his friend. Spellbinder says he agrees but he will back up the MPPW guys. Memphis on their last legs throws up a hail mary and has an awesome angle brewing here.

Jerry Lawler is on the phone and Dave Brown says although he wasn’t here last week, he’s seen the video tape, has heard the promise he made, but everyone is saying that he’s not coming down here and it’s all a bluff. ‘The King’ responds that the people of Memphis know that he doesn’t make idle threats and unkept promises. He reaffirms that he’s going to be there, will have some of his friends with him and that these guys can expect a nice butt kicking!

 

Triple threat match where the winner gets a shot at the TV title later today. King with a neckbreaker on Bulldog, he then counters Steel’s slingshot belly to back and hits the neckbreaker on him. Scoop powerslam by Raines and Steel has recovered in time to break up the pin. Headscissors on the big Bulldog, Steel then ducks the King superkick and catches him with a back elbow off the middle ‘T-Bone suplex’ by Raines on ‘All That’ and a sidewalk slam on DK. Steel avoids a Bulldog splash, however as he grabs a side headlock, Raines shoots him off into the referee. Well it wouldn’t be a Power Pro match without an unnecessary ref bump! Raines blocks the spinning bulldog and lands a modified ‘Blue Thunder Driver’. The ref is still down and as he covers Steel, King nails him over the head with his boot that he’d just taken off. DK covers Raines, but he’s unaware that Steel landed on the apron after he’d thrown him over the top rope and what he thought was to the outside. Leg drop off the top to the back of the head by ‘All That’ and the official has come around in time to count the fall.

 

Brandon Baxter is freaking out in the dressing room with Slash and the Regulators over what Lawler said, although Slash is convinced that he’s bluffing and they’ve got nothing to worry about (“who is he going to call? His son?”).

 

We return from a commercial break and Dave says how before they went for the break they heard Jerry Lawler had arrived and he’s got a bunch of folks with him, which is what he feared. General Koko, Charlie Laird and Khan are trying to hold the door shut but get overpowered by the sheer number of guys that ‘the King’ has bought with him. Lawler leads the way beating the three of them back and I can see Headbanger Thrasher, the Mean Street Posse, Joey Abs, The Dupps and Tracey Smothers with him. Kevin Kelly is even here and although he apologises to Dave and Corey, says that ‘they’ wanted it, so they’re going to get it! ‘The King’ heads to the dressing room to see who else he can find and here’s the rest of the MCW roster (K-Krush, American Dragon, Spanky, Scott Vick, Lance Cade and Shooter Schultz). They attack the likes of Derrick King, the Regulators and Slick Rick before Lawler runs into Bill Dundee who gives up where Brandon Baxter is hiding. It turns out he’s in ‘the King’s’ old dressing room and Lawler finds him cowering under a table in there. Slash is also in the dressing room and the MCW guys drag them both to the ring as they continue to run rough shot over Power Pro Wrestling. Dave talks about them being invaded by the WWF as Kevin Kelly tells them that it’s not going to stop here today. Seven shows up and he’s only too happy to join in the beat down. A couple of referees are in the ring trying to break things up but are having no luck whatsoever. Kelly waffles Slick Rick with a chair as ‘the King’ goes over to speak with Dave and Corey. Lawler insists that Brandon Baxter, Derrick King, Slash and all the Power Pro wrestlers bought this on themselves, while Dave tells him that this is not the way to do things and implores him to get them to stop. ‘The King’ goes on to say that the people here can see what the Power Pro wrestlers are worth, but if they want to see some ‘wrestlers’ like he, Tazz, Raven and Shawn Michaels, they can come to Jonesboro on 10/28 (“it won’t be any of your Power Pro crap!”), before going on to plug tonight’s MCW show at the Shelby County building. K-Krush joins Lawler and wonders where that steroid freak is? Just in case anyone was in two minds about whom he meant Corey drops that he’s talking about the Spellbinder. Lawler mocks that their own champion didn’t even have the nerve to show up and support them. The MCW guys clear the ring and start an “MCW” chant, which the fans in the studio are quick to join in with, seemingly more pro the invaders as opposed to the home team.

 

After another commercial break order has been restored, with the MCW wrestlers now in the car park at TV5 outside of the studio and being held back by security. The Power Pro guys are back out and Dave Brown holds them responsible as they’re the ones who jumped Jerry Lawler last week and now everything is in disarray. Brandon Baxter promises to show MCW how an invasion is done tonight at Shelby County, while General Koko tells Lawler that the war has just started and he should’ve never done what he did. Baxter then says that there is one person missing, and this needs to be “all for one and one for all”. They need and they want the Spellbinder, and they need him to fight for this company. Binder walks out and although he doesn’t like any of them, agrees to join them in the war on MCW as this is the house that Power Pro built and Jerry Lawler should never have done what he did.

 

A fun fast paced three way kicks us off with Bulldog’s strength and power moves a stark contrast to the speed and agility of King and Steel. The MCW invasion angle that follows is awesome! Despite Slash’s doubts, Lawler had plenty of friends and arrived in force to wreak havoc over Power Pro Wrestling. A wild and chaotic scene as the MCW guys ran amok in the studio and backstage grabbing and attacking anyone from Power Pro they could find. I liked how there was the respect between Lawler and Dundee that they didn’t go after ‘the Superstar’ and how, in a similar show of respect, Kevin Kelly was apologetic to Dave and Corey. Interesting to note that the only people used in the invasion were WWF contracted guys, none of your Fabulous Rocker, Al K. Holic, Ronnie James types, whilst I also didn’t spot Reckless Youth amongst their number which could possibly mean that his days are numbered. Good promos from Baxter and Koko at the end as Power Pro regroups, gets the Spellbinder on side and promises revenge.
