It's Episode #13 of the Retro Wrestling Review as Gene, Josh, and Richard review the March 13, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! After a brief tease on the last television, The Harlem Knights are here in full force this week along with Brian Christopher and NOTHING is safe…especially the ring ropes!

It's the in-ring television debut of Bobby and Nelson Knight (the future Mo & Mabel) and they are already being challenged by Jerry 'the King' Lawler, Jeff Jarrett, and "Nightmare" Danny Davis to a main event match at the Mid-South Coliseum!

We actually get FIVE television matches this week which is a bit of a departure from recent episodes. PG-13 are in action this week fresh off JC Ice losing the USWA Middleweight Championship to Danny Davis. Brian Christopher and the Big Black Dog managed to win the USWA Tag Team titles last week and now they have some demands before the Moondogs get a rematch! Last week we thought Mike Samples had departed the promotion with the Harris Twins but it turns out he left for Russia by special request of the President of the United States. You'll need to see this promo to believe it, as he introduces us to….The Russian Brute! A fun episode across the board, we hope you'll check it out!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View returns to the USWA in March of 1993 this week, as Josh Briley & Richard Mullikin are back along with host Gene Jackson to discuss the March 6th episode as the flippin' “Macho Man” Randy Savage is here… in the TV-5 Memphis studio for the first time since 1985! And Macho is here to call out the "King" Jerry Lawler, and challenge him for his Unified World Championship in a very fun exchange between two LEGENDS!

The NEW Southern Heavyweight Champ Jeff Jarrett takes on Reggie B. Fine. Then, Scotty Flamingo makes his USWA debut as he's coming in "from the WCW" to challenge Jarrett for the Southern belt due to their "open door policy". Scotty hits Jarrett with a rap that would make PN News roll over in his grave.. if he wasn't still alive! Add to all of that a bizarre "patriotic" video of Jeff Jarrett that the guys have a LOT of fun with.

If all of that wasn't a big enough surprise for one episode….PG-13 is here as JC Ice has won the USWA Middleweight Championship! Hear all about that and find out why "Uncle Danny" ain't happy. "The King of Rock & Roll" Doug Gilbert is in action against "Dirty" Dutch Mantel, and we find out that his brother Eddie has challenged him to a 'Loser Leaves Town' match at the Mid-South Coliseum. PLUS: Brian Christopher will tell you everything you need to know about his new tag team partner….the BIG BLACK DOG! AND: this episode is guaranteed to feature 99.999% less Bruise Brothers! Check it out!

This week we have a very special episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View as Gene Jackson is joined by TWO special guests! The first guest is the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and is currently the host of the popular podcast, The Outdated Wrestling Hour, of course we're talking about Bob Smith! Gene and Bob talk about a variety of retro pro wrestling related topics, most notably when Bob traveled down to Memphis and appeared on the July 13, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling in a memorable segment involving Jerry 'the King' Lawler and Leatherface! Bob got a chance to go behind the scenes and spend a few days on the road with the USWA attending three shows and he has some fun stories from his Tennessee excursion! Then from there, we get back to our current podcast topic of USWA in 1993 when Gene is joined by "Dangerous" Doug Gilbert to discuss his 1993 feud with his brother "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, they talk about how and why it came about and what it meant to Doug to get a chance to work an angle on Memphis TV with his brother. They also talk a bit about Doug's upcoming weekly podcast, "Dangerous Conversations with Doug Gilbert" debuting soon here at Wrestlecopia.com!
