This week we travel back to the June 5th 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling where some new faces are making their debut! "The Natural" Bo Alexander is here looking like a younger less buff version of "Golden Boy" Chic Donovan. Then we meet Ronnie Lotz all the way from Chicago with his tag team, The Untouchables. Jerry Lawler fresh off winning the #1 Contender's Tournament for Papa Shango's Unified World title gets convinced by Bert Prentice to put it on the line in a match against Rex King. We hear from Jeff Gaylord who takes on Reggie B. Fine in a singles match, then in the main event Jeff Jarrett teams with Miss Texas against the Master of Terror and Brandi Wine in a mixed tag team match! PLUS: Miss Simpson is here "cleaning up" Dave Brown and Corey Maclin while calling out Miss Texas! Meanwhile, Brian Christopher refuses to defend the Southern Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett and in turn Eddie Marlin is forcing him to defend the title against the Undertaker!

It's episode #24 as we revisit the May 22nd 1993 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling. The show kicks off with Johnny Polo gifting his "best friend" Brian Christopher one of his "British Nannies", Miss Simpson! From there Brian Christopher brings in a "legend" to take on Jeff Jarrett for a shot at his Southern Heavyweight title (meanwhile the hosts are not impressed with the new Southern Heavyweight Championship belt that has been quietly introduced with no mention on TV) Mike Samples has returnedâŠ.once again but this time he doesn't bring with him a "Russian Brute" but instead a disgraced High School Principal from Oregon who was let go due to his questionable disciplinary methods, no matter how awful you THINK this sounds, I promise you it's worse. (especially when you find out who he's going to feud with)
Jerry Lawler & Koko B. Ware are still sore at Simply Divine and Bert Prentice over last week's incident as well as getting robbed in their tag team title match last Monday night, this week they plan to place Bert in a homemade "straitjacket" and Koko has literally threatened to KILL Bert Prentice. This is a fun episode of the podcast that you don't want to miss!

This week we head back to May 15, 1993 for our review of USWA Championship Wrestling as they prepare for their big "BattleBowl '93" nine team battle royal! We have not one but TWO big championship matches this week! The Master of Terror will challenge Wolfie D for the USWA Middleweight Championship and later in the show Brian Christopher defends the Southern Heavyweight Championship against "Nightmare" Danny Davis!
In other happenings on the show this week: Bert Prentice returns to the USWA after spending three weeks in "Honnah-Lulah" singing with Don Ho! PG-13 are suddenly "good guys" without any explanation. Simply Divine try to take out Koko B. Ware for good until Jerry Lawler saves him in nothing but his "tighty whiteys" (or was it a "Polynesian??) If it sounds like an interesting showâŠit certainly was, check out the podcast and we'll help you make sense of it all!

It's Episode #13 of the Retro Wrestling Review as Gene, Josh, and Richard review the March 13, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! After a brief tease on the last television, The Harlem Knights are here in full force this week along with Brian Christopher and NOTHING is safeâŠespecially the ring ropes!
It's the in-ring television debut of Bobby and Nelson Knight (the future Mo & Mabel) and they are already being challenged by Jerry 'the King' Lawler, Jeff Jarrett, and "Nightmare" Danny Davis to a main event match at the Mid-South Coliseum!
We actually get FIVE television matches this week which is a bit of a departure from recent episodes. PG-13 are in action this week fresh off JC Ice losing the USWA Middleweight Championship to Danny Davis. Brian Christopher and the Big Black Dog managed to win the USWA Tag Team titles last week and now they have some demands before the Moondogs get a rematch! Last week we thought Mike Samples had departed the promotion with the Harris Twins but it turns out he left for Russia by special request of the President of the United States. You'll need to see this promo to believe it, as he introduces us toâŠ.The Russian Brute! A fun episode across the board, we hope you'll check it out!

This week we have a very special episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View as Gene Jackson is joined by TWO special guests! The first guest is the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and is currently the host of the popular podcast, The Outdated Wrestling Hour, of course we're talking about Bob Smith! Gene and Bob talk about a variety of retro pro wrestling related topics, most notably when Bob traveled down to Memphis and appeared on the July 13, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling in a memorable segment involving Jerry 'the King' Lawler and Leatherface! Bob got a chance to go behind the scenes and spend a few days on the road with the USWA attending three shows and he has some fun stories from his Tennessee excursion! Then from there, we get back to our current podcast topic of USWA in 1993 when Gene is joined by "Dangerous" Doug Gilbert to discuss his 1993 feud with his brother "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, they talk about how and why it came about and what it meant to Doug to get a chance to work an angle on Memphis TV with his brother. They also talk a bit about Doug's upcoming weekly podcast, "Dangerous Conversations with Doug Gilbert" debuting soon here at Wrestlecopia.com!
