On this week's episode, we revisit the June 12, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! Jerry 'the King' Lawler Is set to finally get his rematch with Papa Shango for the Unified World title this Monday night as they have a call in contest to find "15 kids to go out with the King & Jeff Jarrett for dinner and a movie". "Principal" C.W. Bergstrom is still at war with Jeff Gaylord with his paddle, the "board of education" at the forefront, PG-13 are still M.I.A. yet "The Natural" Bo Alexander is still here as is Mark Freer, Miss Texas has words for Miss Simpson, Dave Brown is still on a mission to get Brian Christopher to sign a contract to face Jeff Jarrett but Brian still refuses, so now he has to face…..CONTRACT Inc!! (Yes, that's someone's name apparently), plus we've got a tag team MAIN EVENT that features USWA Tag Team Champions Simply Divine (Rex King/Steve Doll) taking on Jerry 'the King' Lawler/Jeff Jarrett. Sadly, Richard is away this week, however Gene & Josh welcome special guest co-host Brian Tramel to stand in for him.

This week we travel back to the June 5th 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling where some new faces are making their debut! "The Natural" Bo Alexander is here looking like a younger less buff version of "Golden Boy" Chic Donovan. Then we meet Ronnie Lotz all the way from Chicago with his tag team, The Untouchables. Jerry Lawler fresh off winning the #1 Contender's Tournament for Papa Shango's Unified World title gets convinced by Bert Prentice to put it on the line in a match against Rex King. We hear from Jeff Gaylord who takes on Reggie B. Fine in a singles match, then in the main event Jeff Jarrett teams with Miss Texas against the Master of Terror and Brandi Wine in a mixed tag team match! PLUS: Miss Simpson is here "cleaning up" Dave Brown and Corey Maclin while calling out Miss Texas! Meanwhile, Brian Christopher refuses to defend the Southern Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett and in turn Eddie Marlin is forcing him to defend the title against the Undertaker!

On this week's episode, the boys revisit May 29, 1993 where the USWA is preparing for a big tournament to determine a challenger for Papa Shango's Unified World Championship. Also on this week's show, PG-13 face USWA Tag Team Champions Simply Divine (Rex King/Steve Doll) w/Bert Prentice in a non-title match. Mark Freer arrives in the USWA and is immediately propositioned by Bert Prentice! (to be his manager that is) "Jennifer on the Road" pays a visit to Jerry Lawler's house to see his Coca-Cola Collection and some of his art work amongst other things. Jeff Jarrett who was just recently in a serious auto accident with Promoter/Grandfather Eddie Marlin, has a serious message for everyone. Miss Texas still plans to "beat Miss Simpson like she owns her". Brian Christopher cuts a promo that you just have to hear to believe that it happened on Memphis TV in 93 and then he proceeds to beat Miss Texas with a belt like he… nevermind…just check out the show!

It's episode #24 as we revisit the May 22nd 1993 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling. The show kicks off with Johnny Polo gifting his "best friend" Brian Christopher one of his "British Nannies", Miss Simpson! From there Brian Christopher brings in a "legend" to take on Jeff Jarrett for a shot at his Southern Heavyweight title (meanwhile the hosts are not impressed with the new Southern Heavyweight Championship belt that has been quietly introduced with no mention on TV) Mike Samples has returned….once again but this time he doesn't bring with him a "Russian Brute" but instead a disgraced High School Principal from Oregon who was let go due to his questionable disciplinary methods, no matter how awful you THINK this sounds, I promise you it's worse. (especially when you find out who he's going to feud with)

Jerry Lawler & Koko B. Ware are still sore at Simply Divine and Bert Prentice over last week's incident as well as getting robbed in their tag team title match last Monday night, this week they plan to place Bert in a homemade "straitjacket" and Koko has literally threatened to KILL Bert Prentice. This is a fun episode of the podcast that you don't want to miss!

This week we head back to May 15, 1993 for our review of USWA Championship Wrestling as they prepare for their big "BattleBowl '93" nine team battle royal! We have not one but TWO big championship matches this week! The Master of Terror will challenge Wolfie D for the USWA Middleweight Championship and later in the show Brian Christopher defends the Southern Heavyweight Championship against "Nightmare" Danny Davis!

In other happenings on the show this week: Bert Prentice returns to the USWA after spending three weeks in "Honnah-Lulah" singing with Don Ho! PG-13 are suddenly "good guys" without any explanation. Simply Divine try to take out Koko B. Ware for good until Jerry Lawler saves him in nothing but his "tighty whiteys" (or was it a "Polynesian??) If it sounds like an interesting show…it certainly was, check out the podcast and we'll help you make sense of it all!

On the 22nd episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View, we revisit the May 8, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling. "Nightmare" Danny Davis defends the USWA Middleweight Championship against PG-13's Wolfie D along with J.C. Ice. Brian Christopher is still at odds with not only Jeff Jarrett but also Koko B. Ware and referee Frank Morrell. Brian has challenged Koko & Frank to a tag team match and his tag team partner is a 78 year old "legend", "Spaceman" Frank Hickey!! Scotty Flamingo lets us know he's been "living a lie" and that his real name is "Johnny Polo" and he is the manager of the brand new Unified World Champion Papa Shango who is live in the studio taking on the "not yet ready for prime time" Jerry Lynn! Plus we hear from the tag team champions Rex King & Steve Doll, we also hear from Jeff Jarrett & Billy Travis, and we get a big 8 man tag team MAIN EVENT!
