Re-View #69: USWA 3/2/91 (Tojo is back and he's a Texan now!)

Step back to March 2, 1991, as Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel dig into one of the wildest episodes of USWA Championship Wrestling ever!

This week’s show features:

The announcement of a four-man round-robin tournament featuring Jerry Lawler, Eddie Gilbert, Steve Austin, and Jeff Jarrett—but not everyone is happy about it, especially Eric Embry & Tom Prichard.
Shocking interference as Embry, Prichard, and Tojo Yamamoto wreak havoc on Jarrett and Gilbert, drawing blood and shifting alliances.
Jeff Jarrett’s emotional promo and decision to pull out of the tournament in favor of revenge.
Eddie Gilbert stepping up as Jarrett’s partner, while Lawler keeps his eyes on the world title.
The debut of El Grande Pistolero (aka Gypsy Joe under a mask) gunning for Danny Davis’ World Light Heavyweight Championship.
A special USWA Insight segment on JC Ice (Jamie Dundee) and the growing father-son feud with Bill Dundee.
Plus: Jeff Gaylord becomes an "Ice Machine" and an explosive six-man main event featuring a young Steve Austin.

We also break down the booking decisions of Eric Embry, the hot Memphis crowds, and why 1991 feels so much tighter and more exciting than the USWA of ’93 we watched last year.
