  • 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 safe…especially 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 to….The Russian Brute! A fun episode across the board, we hope you'll check it out!

  • The Retro Wrestling Re-View returns to the USWA in March of 1993 this week, as Josh Briley & Richard Mullikin are back along with host Gene Jackson to discuss the March 6th episode as the flippin' “Macho Man” Randy Savage is here… in the TV-5 Memphis studio for the first time since 1985! And Macho is here to call out the "King" Jerry Lawler, and challenge him for his Unified World Championship in a very fun exchange between two LEGENDS!

    The NEW Southern Heavyweight Champ Jeff Jarrett takes on Reggie B. Fine. Then, Scotty Flamingo makes his USWA debut as he's coming in "from the WCW" to challenge Jarrett for the Southern belt due to their "open door policy". Scotty hits Jarrett with a rap that would make PN News roll over in his grave.. if he wasn't still alive! Add to all of that a bizarre "patriotic" video of Jeff Jarrett that the guys have a LOT of fun with.

    If all of that wasn't a big enough surprise for one episode….PG-13 is here as JC Ice has won the USWA Middleweight Championship! Hear all about that and find out why "Uncle Danny" ain't happy. "The King of Rock & Roll" Doug Gilbert is in action against "Dirty" Dutch Mantel, and we find out that his brother Eddie has challenged him to a 'Loser Leaves Town' match at the Mid-South Coliseum. PLUS: Brian Christopher will tell you everything you need to know about his new tag team partner….the BIG BLACK DOG! AND: this episode is guaranteed to feature 99.999% less Bruise Brothers! 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!

Last week at the Mid-South Coliseum, Lex Luger managed to duck out of the way just in time to avoid an ENORMOUS fireball thrown by 'the King' Jerry Lawler, unfortunately his tag team partner Brian Christopher was standing right behind him and took the fire to the face instead! The Harris Brothers hit the ring and beat down Jerry Lawler, Jeff Jarrett, and their manager Downtown Bruno after the match leading to them looking for revenge this week against Brian Christopher and the Harris Twins! Downtown Bruno said that Brian Christopher has "friends in low places" but Bruno, well….he has friends "in high places….about EIGHT FEET HIGH!" You'll never guess who Downtown Bruno is bringing to Memphis to team with Jerry Lawler & Jeff Jarrett….check out the episode to find out! PLUS: The war between the Gilbert Brothers rages on as Eddie has decided it's "time to bear down" on his little brother Doug.

  • Retro Wrestling Re-View is back with a very special Episode #8, digging deep into the origins of one of the most successful tag teams in wrestling history, PG-13! Wolfie D was kind enough to join host Gene Jackson this week and go back to the very beginning of the formation of his tag team with J.C. Ice (Jamie Dundee). Wolfie gives all the details on just how PG-13 came to exist in 1993, including how they got their foot in the door in Memphis. Some really fun stories here detailing the making of the Rap Video that was used to introduce them on Memphis USWA Television, going to Jerry Jarrett's mansion to pitch the gimmick, EXACTLY where he was and what he was doing when he came up with the name PG-13, some of his favorite feuds, what accomplishments meant the most, and so much more! A really fun and informative interview with "Sir" Wolfie D that we hope you will enjoy!

  • On this week's episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View, host Gene Jackson welcomes special guest hosts Bryan Turner (of the VHS Rehab YouTube Channel) and Jimmy Street (host of Live and In Color with Wolfie D and Give Me Back My Pro Wrestling)! This week on USWA TV, Brian Christopher welcomes his newest friend from the WWF, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger who joins him live in the TV-5 studio!!!

    As this episode also features Brian taking on his nemesis, the former Southern Champ Jeff Jarrett, in a live TV match.. with Lex Luger on commentary! Then, after several weeks of altercations, The King has finally had enough of Brian's antics and has demanded a one-on-one match against Brian Christopher at the Mid-South Coliseum! We hear from both parties as Brian says the King's time has passed and he will be the new King and as you can imagine, Jerry Lawler has plenty to say about that.

    We also see Lawler in action against the mysterious Rock & Roll Phantom! (who could he be???)

    Dave Brown announces that The Bruise Brothers will be defending the USWA Tag Team Titles against Doug & Eddie Gilbert live on the show and.....well, check out the podcast to see how that one turned out!

    We also get a brand new Rap Video for the new tag team PG-13, who are set to debut on this Monday night's card at the Coliseum! All of that, and more!

    It’s a fun episode leading up to Brian Christopher's first ever one-on-one match for the Unified World title versus the "King" Jerry Lawler. Plus, some fun stories and insights from the host & guests… Check it out and leave us some feedback on what you think of both this episode of USWA and the podcast!

  • Another week of USWA Championship Wrestling as Gene Jackson prepares to review the 2/6/93 episode, he's excited to welcome WrestleCopia's very own Ray Russell as the special guest co-host this week... and what a week it is! On this episode, USWA Southern Champion Brian Christopher has invited his new friend from the WWF, Doink the Clown to join him down in Memphis, as shenanigans quickly ensue in the TV-5 studios! In the course of this week's show, Brian and Doink managed to pull pranks on Jerry Lawler, Miss Texas, Jeff Jarrett, and announcer Corey Maclin! There's banana peels, pies, oil spills, and......MORE PIES!! It's an unforgettable episode of USWA Wrestling and it's a full on showcase of the Doink character very shortly after his WWF television debut. We get to see the full range of what Matt Borne was bringing to the table as Doink out of the ring, in the ring, and behind the microphone! However it's not all Doink this week (but mostly Doink). A HEEL Howard Finkel addresses his feud vs. the BABYFACE Harvey Wippleman, better known to Memphis fans as Downtown Bruno!. Speaking of which, BRUNO-MANIA runs wild in the TV Studio this week as well, BROTHER! We also hear from Bert Prentice, Mike Samples, Miss Texas, and Richard Lee. We see the Bruise Brothers in action, the Moondogs have a match (sorta), and favorite of the show Mr. Clyde sees action as well! If you haven't checked out the podcast yet, this is the perfect episode to jump on board, and if you have listened in the past....this is one you DON'T WANNA MISS!!

  • The Retro Wrestling Re-View podcast returns with Episode #3 as an under the weather Gene Jackson is back and powers through another excellent episode with Guests Josh Briley and Richard Mullikin (of P3 Radio) to once again travel back to January 1993 for some USWA Wrestling! This week we find out that “Mean” Mike Miller has ALWAYS had a problem with women fighting over him! (and why wouldn’t they fight over “the Mean Man”?) Bert Prentice brings out “Bubba Johnson’s Wife” and you won’t believe who it is! Plus, the new Southern Champion Brian Christopher is in back to gloat, Jeff Jarrett is swinging more lumber in the studio than “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, and The Bruise Brothers want their USWA Tag Titles back! We seem to be down a Moondog fresh off their title win, Richard Lee has an arm of steel, and we see “The King” Jerry Lawler go one on one with the “Missouri Tiger” Jeff Gaylord!! It’s another wild ride in the TV-5 studio!!

  • On the 2nd episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast, Gene Jackson welcomes back co-hosts Richard Mullikan & Josh Briley (of P3 Radio) to revisit the second week of 1993 in the USWA! This week Corey Maclin is back! Brian Christopher (with the newly bald Mr Clyde and previously bald Zeke Rivers) takes on Tony Denucci in the opener, and it seems as though he's out of options and will have to put HIS hair on the line to earn yet another shot at Jeff Jarrett's Southern Title! Lauren Davenport is on the hunt for someone to manage and attempts to recruit no less than FOUR wrestlers on this episode with very little success. The King isn't happy with how last Monday's match with Mike Miller went so this week he has a SPECIAL REFEREE in mind! USWA Tag Team Champions The Bruise Brothers (Ron/Don Harris) commit another brutal tag team assault on a pair of unsuspecting enhancement talent and the Moondogs' manager Richard Lee makes a "fatal mistake" insisting that his Moondogs hit the gym instead of coming to TV. All this and more on another wild and wooly day in the TV-5 studios!

  • It's the debut edition of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast! Listen in as Host Gene Jackson welcomes his co-hosts Richard Mullikan and Josh Briley (of P3 Radio) to set the stage, then review & discuss the first week of 1993 in the USWA! "Superstar" Bill Dundee is headed out of the territory for an office job in WCW and wrestles his "final match in the TV-5 studio". "Mean" Mike Miller rang in the New Year "on his back"... because he won't leave until he's ready! Brian Christopher is willing to put everyone's hair on the line (except his own) against Jeff Jarrett's Southern Heavyweight title! Danny Davis is out for revenge against the Masters of Terror and is willing to face them BOTH....in separate singles matches that is... The Moondogs and Richard Lee are babyfaces....no, seriously! And the Dogs are looking to get their USWA tag team titles back from the Harris Twins! Plus, Jerry Lawler has been seen on WWF TV recently, but don't worry USWA fans, just like "Mean" Mike Miller at a New Year's Eve party (the day after New Year's)....the King ain't going nowhere! (No, that sentence isn't a typo...it will make sense after you check out the podcast)
