Play episode
 
On this week’s episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View, host Gene Jackson welcomes special guest hosts Bryan Turner (of the VHS Rehab YouTube Channel) and Jimmy Street (host of Live and In Color with Wolfie D and Give Me Back My Pro Wrestling)! This week on USWA TV, Brian Christopher welcomes his newest friend from the WWF, “The Narcissist” Lex Luger who joins him live in the TV-5 studio!!! In fact, this week’s episode could be titled ‘The Brian Christopher Show’ as the Southern Heavyweight Champion is ALL OVER this show!

As this episode also features Brian taking on his nemesis, the former Southern Champ Jeff Jarrett, in a live TV match.. with Lex Luger on commentary! Then, after several weeks of altercations, The King has finally had enough of Brian’s antics and has demanded a one-on-one match against Brian Christopher at the Mid-South Coliseum! We hear from both parties as Brian says the King’s time has passed and he will be the new King and as you can imagine, Jerry Lawler has plenty to say about that.

We also see Lawler in action against the mysterious Rock & Roll Phantom! (who could he be???)

Dave Brown announces that The Bruise Brothers will be defending the USWA Tag Team Titles against Doug & Eddie Gilbert live on the show and…..well, check out the podcast to see how that one turned out!

We also get a brand new Rap Video for the new tag team PG-13, who are set to debut on this Monday night’s card at the Coliseum! All of that, and more!

It’s a fun episode leading up to Brian Christopher’s first ever one-on-one match for the Unified World title versus the “King” Jerry Lawler. Plus, some fun stories and insights from the host & guests… Check it out and leave us some feedback on what you think of both this episode of USWA and the podcast!
