The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #84: USWA 6/8/91 (Ta-Gar: Lord of the Volcano arrives!)

The Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast rolls on with Episode #84, and this one has a little bit of everything — classic Memphis chaos, unforgettable characters, and the long-awaited return of the King!

Gene Jackson is joined by Josh Briley and Brian Tramel as they break down this week’s episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, where Jerry Lawler finally steps back into the spotlight after a few weeks away, immediately reasserting control and reminding everyone exactly who runs Memphis (both behind and in front of the camera).

On this episode:

  • Jerry Lawler’s triumphant return, confronting Eric Embry and physically dismantling both Carl Stiles and the Texas Ranger
  • The opening match delivers big heat as Dirty White Boy vs. Tom Prichard explodes — capped off by the shocking return of The Dirty White Girl, who launches Miss Texas over the desk
  • A deep discussion on why that opening segment worked and why it mattered
  • The debut of Carl Stiles and why his presentation never quite clicks with fans
  • Eric Embry’s master class heel psychology (“I ain’t got no beef with you, Lawler!”)
  • Jeff Jarrett, Robert Fuller, and the never ending “we used to feud” reminders, EVERY WEEK!
  • The arrival of Ta-Gar, Lord of the Volcano whose left hand is on fire, but he seems cool with it
  • Multi man tag team chaos, "Roughouse" Doug Gilbert get his character over, and Bill Dundee doing things only Bill Dundee can do
  • Real attendance numbers from the Pipkin Building that tell a much darker story about the state of the territory in June 1991

This episode captures a promotion desperately trying to stabilize itself by leaning on Lawler’s star power, throwing gimmicks at the wall, and hoping something sticks.

If you love Memphis wrestling history, honest analysis, and laugh out loud fun with the absurdity of it all, this one’s a must listen.

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #83: The Retro Re-View 2nd Annual Christmas Extravaganza

Merry Christmas from the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast and welcome to our 2nd Annual Christmas Extravaganza, dropping on Christmas Eve and guaranteed to spread good cheer!

Gene Jackson is joined by Josh Briley and Brian Tramel, with a very special return appearance from Richard Mulikin, back on the show for the first time in months. What follows is equal parts holiday celebration, therapy session, territory deep dive, and pure chaos.

🎁 On this special holiday episode:

  • Richard opens up about his mental health journey and why stepping away was necessary
  • A heartfelt (and important) discussion about medication, mental health, and asking for help
  • A full catch-up on everything Richard has missed in USWA 1991, including the Texas vs. Tennessee war
  • Eric Embry’s booking highs… and spectacular lows
  • Jeff Gaylord as the Texas Ranger, complete with hog tying incompetence
  • Corey Maclin’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 1991 debut
  • Loser Leaves Town matches where NO ONE ACTUALLY LEAVES!
  • Miss Texas, Doug Gilbert’s “crazy” gimmick, and Bill Dundee contract gymnastics
  • The return of the Christmas gift exchange, where the gang gives gifts to some of their favorite USWA wrestlers
  • BT’s special rendition of “Twas the night before Christmas” recapping USWA 1991 territory chaos so far
  • And the triumphant return of Santa Claus, spreading holiday cheer… and bringing the HEAT!

This isn’t just a wrestling podcast,  it’s a Christmas hang with friends who love Memphis wrestling, remember it vividly, and aren’t afraid to laugh at how absurd it could be.

Grab some eggnog, settle in, and celebrate Christmas Day, the Retro way!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #82: USWA 6/1/91 (NOBODY slaps the KING!)

The Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast is back, and this week’s episode is loaded!

Gene Jackson is joined by Josh Briley and Brian Tramel, along with special guest Robb Helt, who brings a first hand fan perspective straight from Texas during one of the most chaotic periods in USWA history. Together, the crew breaks down the June 1, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling and there is no shortage of controversy, history, and jaw dropping moments.


On this episode:

  • Jerry Lawler’s shocking slap heard ‘round Memphis as Miss Texas pushes things too far!
  • The ongoing Texas vs. Tennessee war and its rapidly crumbling foundation
  • Robb Helt recounts being a teenage fan when Dallas wrestling abruptly collapsed, including the infamous locked door Sportatorium night
  • The passing of Freezer Thompson and why Memphis missed the boat on a potential special attraction
  • The strange, short-lived “crazy” Doug Gilbert / Roughhouse Fargo-inspired gimmick
  • Dirty White Boy’s uneasy babyface turn and the slow breakup of the Texas faction
  • Jeff Gaylord’s Texas Ranger gimmick escalates complete with post match hog tying
  • Eric Embry vs. Jerry Lawler politics, booking philosophy, and business fallout

This is a deep dive episode that goes far beyond the TV screen connecting Memphis booking decisions to real world consequences in Dallas and beyond.


Watch along, relive the chaos, and hear the stories that only longtime fans can tell!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #81: USWA 5/25/91 (The Lone Ranger Arrives!)

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.

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #80: USWA 5/18/91 (Loser Leaves Town- Take 2!)

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 Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #78: USWA 5/4/91 (Meet Miss Texas)

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!

Re-View #77: USWA 4/27/91 (Team Tennessee Roll Call!)

The Retro Wrestling Re-View crew Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel head back to April 27, 1991, for another wild episode of USWA Championship Wrestling and the ongoing Tennessee vs. Texas war! This week brings hard hitting matches, vicious promos, and an endless battle over state pride between Tennessee and Texas!

Here’s what’s on tap:

 Dr. Tom Prichard turns up the aggression under Tojo Yamamoto’s guidance, brutally punishing Chris Frazier while trying to prove he's the “Texas Stud”!

 Jeff Jarrett defends the Southern Heavyweight Title, promising Steve Austin a fight for the title he's wanted his whole life.

 Eric Embry sprays mysterious green mist during a Russian Chain Match and cuts another venomous promo from Dallas.

 Eddie Gilbert fires back, warning Embry that he "likes to bleed"!

 Robert Fuller’s fiery roll-call promo unites the Tennessee team: Fuller, Jarrett, Eddie Gilbert, Danny Davis, and Bill Dundee as they prepare for the big Texas Brawl!

Steve Austin vs. Steve Keirn delivers solid wrestling until the Texas Hangmen crash the party, leading to all out mayhem.
 
The guys wrap up it all up with their unique mix of humor, analysis, and even a Jeff Jarrett car wreck with insight straight from "Double J" himself!

It’s Southern Rasslin' mayhem, humor, and classic territory storytelling all rolled into one convenient podcast.

Re-View #74: USWA 4/6/91 (Eric Embry threatens to KILL Jerry Lawler!)

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!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #73: USWA 3/30/91 ("He might be DEAD!")

We’re back in the WMC Studios for another wild Saturday morning in Memphis, and this one might just be the craziest episode yet! On the March 30th, 1991 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling, the Texas Bunch crank the violence to 11, Danny Davis shows off a new haircut and a new attitude, and Jerry Lawler goes from Southern Gentleman to History Teacher as he corrects the "Texas Idiots".

Highlights include:

  • Danny Davis destroys Sgt. O’Reilly like he’s fueled on pre-workout, Red Bull, and spite.
  • Eric Embry and Dr. Tom Prichard nearly kill poor Bill Rush with a second-rope piledriver — prompting the immortal line, “He might be dead!”
  • Jerry “The King” Lawler cuts one of the funniest promos of the year, reminding the Texans that Alaska’s the biggest state, you idiots!
  • Bill Dundee is furious to be opening the show on Monday night, Eddie Gilbert wears his "serious glasses:, and Jeff Jarrett vows to restore honor to the Southern title.
  • Plus: all roads lead to April Fool’s Day at the Pipkin Building — and business is about to pick up!

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.

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #68: USWA 2/23/91 (The Texas vs. Tennessee WAR begins!)

On this week’s Retro Wrestling Re-View, the gang takes a deep dive into the February 23, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling!

 

The big story is the shocking unholy alliance of Jerry “The King” Lawler and “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert, who agree to team up against Texans Eric Embry and Dr. Tom Prichard—but not without $25,000 bonds to guarantee they don’t turn on each other. We break down the promos, the intensity, and the fallout from this feud that has Tennessee battling Texas in one of Memphis Wrestling’s wildest storylines.

 

Also on this episode:

  • Jeff Jarrett delivers an emotional promo trying to talk sense into Jamie Dundee, only for “JC Ice Baby” to double down on rebellion against his father Bill.
  • Dirty White Boy Tony Anthony steps in to defend Jamie from Dundee, igniting a heated personal feud with "Superstar" Bill Dundee
  • The U.S. Males (Curtis Thompson & Chris Walker) make their mark, while Freezer Thompson and Gary Jackson take a beating.
  • Stunning Steve Austin is ready to challenge for the Southern Heavyweight Title.
  • Plus, chaos at the Mid-South Coliseum with six big matches, including Lawler & Gilbert teaming for the first time ever!

 If you love classic Memphis mayhem—blood, betrayal, family drama, and state pride on the line—you won’t want to miss this one!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View
Re-View #67: USWA 2/16/91 (Jamie Dundee gets a new family!)

The USWA in 1991 was chaos, and this week’s episode is no exception!
Reviewing the 2/16/91 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling.

  • Jamie Dundee officially ditches his dad and becomes J.C. Ice Baby
  • Bill Dundee cuts a heartfelt apology promo… and gets mocked for it
  • Stunning Steve Austin picks up a win with help from J.C.
  • Dr. Tom Prichard won’t shut up on commentary
  • Referees Paul Neighbors & Frank Morrell are somehow booked in a tag team match as partners!
  • Jerry Lawler & Jeff Jarrett feud with Eric Embry and the Texas crew gets bloody—literally
  • Eddie Marlin and Tommy Gilbert are stepping in the ring to fight it out, one more time!

It’s family drama, Texas vs. Tennessee pride, referees wrestling, and plenty of blood. In other words: classic Memphis wrestling.
