Re-View #104: USWA 10/19/91 (Dave’s Not Here, Man)

by admin19 hours ago

Episode #104 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel back to October 19, 1991, and this week’s USWA Championship Wrestling is… well, let’s just say Dave Brown picked a hell of a week to go on vacation.

With Michael St. John flying solo at the desk, the show opens with a highlight reel of Eric Embry absolutely abusing Eddie Marlin, setting the stage for a big six-man tag at the Mid-South Coliseum:

Eddie Marlin, Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller vs. Eric Embry, Dr. Tom Prichard & Tony Falk.

Eddie Marlin promises he may be past his prime, but if he can just bust Embry in the mouth one time, it’ll all be worth it. Meanwhile, Jarrett makes yet another dramatic promise, Robert Fuller fires everybody up, and Embry’s crew continues to stir the pot.

The guys break down the episode segment-by-segment, including why Freezer Thompson’s mini-push actually works, why the Dog of War angle feels like it’s wandering into very dangerous territory, and why Billy Joe Travis may be becoming one of the most polarizing figures on the entire Retro Wrestling Archive Network.

It’s another strange, funny, frustrating, and somehow still entertaining week of early-90s Memphis wrestling.

If you love USWA chaos, Mid-South Coliseum build, Eric Embry madness, Lawler promos, Billy Joe Travis drama, and three guys trying to make sense of Memphis logic in real time… this one is for you.
