    Re-View #100: USWA 9/21/91 (Who Wrote the Letter?)

    On this milestone episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast - Gene, Josh, and BT celebrate hitting the century mark while breaking down the September 21, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, a show filled with chaos, callbacks, and classic Memphis madness.  What Goes Down This Week: Dirty White Boy kicks things off in dominant fashion with a brutal reverse lariat finish Jeff Jarrett officially ditches Ronnie P. Gossett (comparing him to a septic tank) and brings in Eddie Marlin—to absolutely ZERO crowd reaction Eric Embry continues to spiral, cutting another intense promo while the Tom Prichard storyline quietly builds in the background Tojo Yamamoto absolutely CRACKS Dutch with the flagpole in one of the stiffest shots we’ve seen on the show Embry follows it up by choking Eddie Marlin with his own tie, turning his face beet red Billy Joe Travis delivers an all-time bad musical performance… then makes up for it by obliterating Chris Frazier with a guitar shotThrow in a bullwhip and Jerry Lawler plugging a celebrity softball game with Ernest P. Worrell and you’ve got a perfectly chaotic, "know whatta mean, Vern?" Plus… Episode 100 Celebration  The guys reflect on 100 episodes of the podcast How the show has grown from bad audio setups to moderately better audio setups  Listener feedback, inside jokes, and what keeps this show so damn fun to do every week This is Memphis rasslin: Fun. Loud. Sometimes confusing.But always entertaining and 100 episodes later… we’re still here for it.

    Re-View #99: USWA 9/14/91 (CHAOS builds before Episode 100!)

    Episode #99 might be one of the most frustratingly entertaining episodes we’ve covered because for every great Memphis idea… there’s something that makes you go, “WHY would you do that?!” And we go IN on all of it. We break down one of the most chaotic and uneven episodes of USWA TV ever, where incredible angles collide with head scratching decisions. You'll get:  A deeper look at the Christopher Love / Ronnie P. Gossett feud, including why Gossett might be the most hateable (and divisive) guy on the show  The full rant on Bert Prentice attacking Michael St. John and why the follow up makes absolutely no sense  Extended discussion on Jerry Lawler no selling the guitar shot and how it completely undercuts the Guitar Lumberjack stipulation  More breakdown of the insane studio brawl...who was involved, what worked, and what turned into total chaos  Thoughts on Billy Joe Travis’ gimmick, Honey Love’s segments, and why some of this feels like it’s teetering between genius and disasterIf you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!

    Re-View #98: USWA 9/7/91 (THINGS GET HEAVY!)

    Things are getting loud, chaotic, and downright ridiculous in the USWA and we are HERE for all of it! On Episode #98 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, Brian Tramel, and special guest Robb Helt break down the September 7, 1991 episode of USWA which is a show packed with wild promos, heated rivalries, and some truly unforgettable moments! Right out of the gate, we’ve got:  The fallout from the Dragon Master’s one week Unified title reign (one week too many)  Christopher “Honey” Love in peak form...loud, outrageous, and absolutely carrying every segment he’s in  The debut of the PYTs (Pretty Young Things) Unfortunately this isn't Koko and Norvell…but let’s just say, they do make an impression But the real story of the episode? Christopher "Honey" Love vs. Ronnie P. Gossett. When Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller bring in Gossett to counter Honey Love, it creates one of the most bizarre, hilarious, and heat filled manager confrontations you’ll ever see. This isn’t just a promo battle...it’s a full-blown war of insults, chaos, and old school Memphis energy. However, it seems that amongst the hosts, Gene is the only one who doesn't hate Ronnie P. Gossett.  There's much, much more but this episode has everything....great angles, weird moments, hilarious promos, and the kind of unpredictable energy that keeps us coming back each week for more!

    Re-View #97: USWA 8/31/91 ("Dirty" Dutch evens the odds!)

    On this episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel break down the August 31, 1991 episode featuring a new Unified World Champion, one of the most outrageous promos you’ll ever see, and a show that somehow manages to have both great wrestling AND complete madness at the same time. We kick things off with the shocking title change as the Dragon Master steals the Unified World Championship from Jerry Lawler thanks to some questionable officiating and even more questionable interference. Then… Christopher “Honey” Love delivers an all-timer promo complete with a proposed dress code for the fans on Monday night that might be the most Memphis thing ever put on television. From there: A fantastic TV match between Dr. Tom Prichard and Nightmare Danny Davis that reminds you just how good this roster could beA chaotic Miss Texas vs. Sweet Georgia Brown ringside brawl Dutch Mantell returns and immediately starts roasting his own WCW “Desperado” run while teaming with LawlerReggie B. Fine continues to be the most unintentionally hilarious man in wrestlingHandsome Jimmy Valiant and Sweet Georgia Brown turn Dave Brown’s life into an HR violation nightmare.And yes… an unprotected chair shot from Bill Dundee that sounds like it echoed through three countiesPlus, we run down the absolutely STACKED Labor Day Star Wars card featuring 14 matches, 37 wrestlers, along with a TWO RING, TRIPLE CHANCE BATTLE ROYAL. This show had everything. Great wrestling, ridiculous angles, uncomfortable moments, and Memphis insanity at its finest.

    Re-View #95: USWA 8/24/91 (Jimbo returns to Mempho!!)

    Episode #95 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes us to the August 24, 1991 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling and this one is chaotic from start to finish. Handsome Jimmy Valiant invades the studio, steals hats, kisses announcers, and warns Eric Embry to "NEVAH PULL MY LEVAH!" (Not sure what that means but somehow it works for Valiant) The Dirty White Boy signs a waiver only to immediately get jumped and beatdown by Eric Embry and Dr. Tom Prichard. Miss Texas slaps, kicks, and humiliates Rockin’ Randy in one of the wildest segments of the year. Christopher Love (yes… that Christopher Love aka Bert Prentice) unveils the mysterious Dragon Master, a legitimate 7-foot-3 giant sent to eliminate Jerry Lawler from the USWA. Meanwhile, Lord Humongous’ mask finally comes off in perhaps the most uncomfortable studio segment we’ve seen yet (seriously, it was...you just have to watch it). Plus: Bill Dundee vs. Danny Davis continues to simmerJarrett & Fuller defend against another makeshift challenger teamReggie B. Fine introduces “The Bruiser”, whoever it may beAnother in our series of Awesome Kong vs. Freezer Thompson matches (this time a tag team match)Plus: Humongous gets unmasked but we still don't know who the hell he is....It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It’s pure 1991 USWA. Join Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel as they break it all down with humor, context, and maybe a few strong opinions along the way.
