The Retro Wrestling Re-View heads back to April 6, 1991, for another wild ride through USWA Championship Wrestling! Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel dive deep into a loaded episode where every segment feels like chaos waiting to happen, beginning with "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert’s studio match, a cameo from Jerry Lawler’s doctor, and ending with one of the most unhinged promos in Memphis history as Eric Embry threatens to literally kill Lawler inside a cage!
Hear the crew break down:
- Eddie Gilbert’s “rough-and-tumble” return and slow-burn face run
- Lawler’s “neck injury” storyline with Dr. Lee Sammons
- Eric Embry’s vicious second-rope piledriver on Todd Johnson and the fiery “I’m gonna kill you, Lawler” promo
- BT’s opinion on whether Lawler and Embry’s real-life heat bled onto TV (if there really was any)
- Steve Keirn sporting a "Tiffany" T-shirt along with Eddie Gilbert’s “In the Name of Jackie Fargo” line, and the formation of the "New" "New" Fabulous Ones (not really)
- All the buildup to the Parade of Champions double-cage show at the Pipkin Building!

On this week's episode Gene Jackson welcomes Del Rios, who you may know as the Spellbinder from the USWA or Phantasio from the WWE. Del has had a number of personas throughout his wrestling career and in the process has had not only a pretty unique and extraordinary pro wrestling career, but the same can be said for his life in general. Del was the very first ever WWF "Developmental Wrestler" having his very first professional wrestling match at a WWF RAW TV taping before being hired on and sent to the USWA in Memphis to develop. As strange as that sounds, that's not even close to being the most unique and interesting part of Del's history. Tune in and hear about the dangerous life Del led before finding his way into the wrestling business and the events that led him into professional wrestling. They discuss his friendships with Brian Christopher, Sid Vicious, Big Vito, and so much more! This is an interview you don't wanna miss!

This week it's a special edition of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast as host Gene Jackson welcomes a special guest who we saw a lot of during 1993, Moondog Splat! A fun conversation as Gene digs into Bubba White's time as a Moondog as they discuss a ton of topics including: the coaching he received before taking on the gimmick, what Richard Lee was like away from the ring, his relationship with Moondog Spot and what led to his eventual departure from the USWA, working with the Harlem Knights and a couple of intense situations that resulted from it, thoughts on Brian Christopher & Scotty Flamingo, the Big Black Dog, "working" with the Harris Brothers, did the Moondogs intentionally hurt the enhancement talent?, Was there ever talk of having a "Moonpuppy" join the team?, the hilarious "Outlaw" Don Bass, some fun road stories, and much, much more! It's a really fun conversation with a guy who never spoke! Here's his chance and he's got plenty to say!
This episode is brought to you by the KAYFABE CAVE in Pulaski, Tennessee! Come to Pulaski and meet Moondog Splat a.k.a. the Mighty Goliath on Saturday August 23rd from NOON to 3pm!

This week, the gang is joined by their frequent guest co-host Brian Tramel of STSPod.club as they re-view the couple of segments of the 12/25/93 USWA Championship Wrestling episode that weren't clips from previous shows featuring "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel w/Toni Adams against Mike Anthony as well as highlights of Jerry 'the King' Lawler challenging "Double J" Jeff Jarrett for the Unified World Championship. From there they review the 12/27/93 Mid-South Coliseum card and then it's time for some fun as they each give their "awards" for their favorites and least favorites of the year for 1993!

This week, the gang is re-viewing the December 18, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling and we've got NEW USWA Tag Team Champions! After only two weeks, the War Machines quit the territory after quickly dropping the tag team titles to FAR 2 WILD (Chris Michaels/Todd Morton) in Evansville, Indiana thanks to some help from their unlikely babyface manager, Bert Prentice! With the War Machines gone, PG-13 are stepping into the top heel tag team spot and it looks like Lee Womack will be joining them but what does this mean for Midget D?? Plus, Brian Christopher takes on Ali Ben-Clyde…um, I mean Ali Ben-Khan while Eddie Gilbert looks on from the commentary desk. The Gilberts then deliver a SEVERE beating to Charlie Laird before dropping him with a devastating backdrop into a powerbomb maneuver. Jerry Lawler has what feels like his now weekly match with Reggie B. Fine and the Harris Twins try to literally murder Mike Anthony! Give it a listen, it's more fun than it sounds! (seriously)
