  • Retro Re-View Episode #08: With Guest Wolfie D (The Origins of PG-13!)
    Jul 10 2024

    Retro Wrestling Re-View is back with a very special Episode #8, digging deep into the origins of one of the most successful tag teams in wrestling history, PG-13! Wolfie D was kind enough to join host Gene Jackson this week and go back to the very beginning of the formation of his tag team with J.C. Ice (Jamie Dundee). Wolfie gives all the details on just how PG-13 came to exist in 1993, including how they got their foot in the door in Memphis. Some really fun stories here detailing the making of the Rap Video that was used to introduce them on Memphis USWA Television, going to Jerry Jarrett's mansion to pitch the gimmick, EXACTLY where he was and what he was doing when he came up with the name PG-13, some of his favorite feuds, what accomplishments meant the most, and so much more! A really fun and informative interview with "Sir" Wolfie D that we hope you will enjoy!

    Jul 3 2024

    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!

  • Retro Re-View Episode #06: USWA February 6, 1993 (Featuring Doink the Clown!)
    Jun 26 2024

    Another week of USWA Championship Wrestling as Gene Jackson prepares to review the 2/6/93 episode, he's excited to welcome WrestleCopia's very own Ray Russell as the special guest co-host this week... and what a week it is! On this episode, USWA Southern Champion Brian Christopher has invited his new friend from the WWF, Doink the Clown to join him down in Memphis, as shenanigans quickly ensue in the TV-5 studios! In the course of this week's show, Brian and Doink managed to pull pranks on Jerry Lawler, Miss Texas, Jeff Jarrett, and announcer Corey Maclin! There's banana peels, pies, oil spills, and......MORE PIES!! It's an unforgettable episode of USWA Wrestling and it's a full on showcase of the Doink character very shortly after his WWF television debut. We get to see the full range of what Matt Borne was bringing to the table as Doink out of the ring, in the ring, and behind the microphone! However it's not all Doink this week (but mostly Doink). A HEEL Howard Finkel addresses his feud vs. the BABYFACE Harvey Wippleman, better known to Memphis fans as Downtown Bruno!. Speaking of which, BRUNO-MANIA runs wild in the TV Studio this week as well, BROTHER! We also hear from Bert Prentice, Mike Samples, Miss Texas, and Richard Lee. We see the Bruise Brothers in action, the Moondogs have a match (sorta), and favorite of the show Mr. Clyde sees action as well! If you haven't checked out the podcast yet, this is the perfect episode to jump on board, and if you have listened in the past....this is one you DON'T WANNA MISS!!

  • Retro Re-View Episode #02: USWA January 9, 1993
    May 29 2024

    On the 2nd episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast, Gene Jackson welcomes back co-hosts Richard Mullikan & Josh Briley (of P3 Radio) to revisit the second week of 1993 in the USWA! This week Corey Maclin is back! Brian Christopher (with the newly bald Mr Clyde and previously bald Zeke Rivers) takes on Tony Denucci in the opener, and it seems as though he's out of options and will have to put HIS hair on the line to earn yet another shot at Jeff Jarrett's Southern Title! Lauren Davenport is on the hunt for someone to manage and attempts to recruit no less than FOUR wrestlers on this episode with very little success. The King isn't happy with how last Monday's match with Mike Miller went so this week he has a SPECIAL REFEREE in mind! USWA Tag Team Champions The Bruise Brothers (Ron/Don Harris) commit another brutal tag team assault on a pair of unsuspecting enhancement talent and the Moondogs' manager Richard Lee makes a "fatal mistake" insisting that his Moondogs hit the gym instead of coming to TV. All this and more on another wild and wooly day in the TV-5 studios!
