What happens when someone sends you a box of cassettes from the 1990s? You put them out as a podcast ! Sit back and take a trip to the past for Cassette Wrestling News. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin called this the first ever podcast ! These cassettes were mailed every issue to subscribers during the heyday of wrestling fanzines. Jeff Osborne & John Seaton would sit down and put out an episode of zany fun and sometimes some serious stuff. Join us for Episode 5 with Eddie Gilbert, October, 1990.

This week, we’re heading to February 3, 1990, for one of the most infamous and absurd episodes of USWA Championship Wrestling—the day “Dr. Lawler, M.D.” decided to give Jeff Jarrett and Kerry Von Erich live steroid tests on television! From bogus lab results to beeping machines from Osceola, Arkansas, it’s pure Memphis chaos.

This Week’s Madness Includes:
• Jerry Lawler’s unlicensed medical debut and “steroid head” PSA
• Chris Champion vs. Dirty White Boy feud leading to the Snake Box Match
• The Southern Rockers’ roller-coaster TV title run — win, defend, and lose all in one hour
• Jeff Jarrett & Kerry Von Erich’s fiery babyface promos vs. Lawler & Billy Joe Travis
• King Cobra’s revenge vow against Lawler and the Soul Taker (a young Godfather!)

From Dr. Lawler’s steroid crusade to snake boxes and loaded boots, this episode has everything that made Memphis Wrestling wonderfully insane in 1990.
