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
• The debut and introduction of Miss Texas, hyped heavily by Dr. Tom Prichard and Eric Embry

Plus, Gene and BT talk psychology, continuity, 1991 booking weirdness, and why some finishes (like that punch) just feel outta place.
