The Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast is back, and this week the gang tackles the May 25, 1991 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling.

This week marks the quiet debut of Corey Maclin, co-hosting with Jerry “The King” Lawler, while the Texas vs. Tennessee war officially crosses the line into attempted murder territory.

Episode highlights include:

• The surprise arrival of Corey Maclin: no explanation, no buildup, he's just here now
• The Texas Ranger debuts and his identity is no mystery!
• Jamie Dundee’s infamous contract loophole angle takes the term "bait and switch" to a new low
• Doug Gilbert unmasks himself as the Lone Ranger to a huge studio pop
• Eddie Gilbert delivers another top notch babyface promo, and gets some love from Dave Meltzer for it
• Robert Fuller is smothered with a F****** plastic bag on live TV!
• “CPR” is administered by a ring full of wrestlers without an EMT in sight!
• The most awkward follow up ever: an immediate eight man tag match involving the attempted murderers
• Boards, beatdowns, fireballs, rat tails, and Corey Maclin saying “Ree-dick-uh-lus” over and over! "Man oh man!"

Was this brilliant heat? Total madness? Or both?

The guys break down what worked, what didn’t, and why Memphis wrestling always found a way to go just a little further than everyone else.

Regardless of what we may have thought previously, this week's show is one of the wildest, most convoluted, frustrating and most head scratching episodes of USWA Championship Wrestling we’ve seen yet!

From a legit knockout in the opening match…
to a southern-fried boardroom fiasco inside Eddie Marlin’s “office”…
to Eddie Gilbert cutting the most honest babyface promo of his career…
to Hurricane Walker blowing into Memphis like a wet breeze instead of a hurricane…
to a chaotic two fall main event featuring Dr. Tom, the Dirty White Boy, Eddie Gilbert, and a very young Brian Christopher…

…it’s all here, and it’s all off the rails,

This episode covers the May 18, 1991 USWA TV broadcast, including:

- A surprising knockout finish as Ben Jordan drops Rob Golden cold
- A 3-minute “meeting” that feels like 20 — and is somehow the most Memphis thing ever
- A no-tape controversy that defies all wrestling logic
- Eddie Gilbert’s heartfelt “future King of Memphis” promo
- Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller vs. Jack Diamond & Gary Scott
- The Texas Outlaws debut… dressed like the Assassins… and get zero heat
- Hurricane Walker arrives — and immediately gets exposed
- A hard-hitting main event first fall with four absolute pros
- Full Monday Night Pipkin Building card rundown
plus BT’s live gate & finish report, spoiler teases for next week, and plenty of laughs.

If you love classic Memphis Rasslin' madness, this one’s a must listen.

The gang is back with Episode #78 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast! This week, Gene, Josh, and BT head to May 4th, 1991, a show remembered for one major moment: the USWA debut of Miss Texas (a young Jacqueline, long before WWE Hall of Fame status).

This episode features:
• The debut and introduction of Miss Texas, hyped heavily by Dr. Tom Prichard and Eric Embry
• Eric Embry continuing his run as the territory’s most manipulative, rule breaking heel
• Dr. Tom stirring up heat on the Tennessee women while presenting Miss Texas like she was royalty
• Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller tell a story and then see tag team action
• Nightmare Danny Davis & Superstar Bill Dundee battling the Texas Hangmen in the "main event" with the infamous “yeller hoods” finally making an "in-studio" appearance (yes, they notice weird stuff)
• The ongoing chaos surrounding the barbed wire glove/coal miner’s glove/NOT a regular barbed wire match stipulation
• A big, feel-good closing angle with the Tennessee crew standing united against the "Texas Bunch" heading into Monday night

Plus, Gene and BT talk psychology, continuity, 1991 booking weirdness, and why some finishes (like that punch) just feel outta place.

If you love USWA Wrestling, debuts, deep dives, and unfiltered commentary, hit play on another fun filled episode!
