This week on the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, we head back to August 10, 1991, and what starts as a fairly standard Memphis TV episode quickly turns into one of the more chaotic, heated hours we’ve seen in weeks.

Fresh off “Homecoming ’91,” Eddie Marlin announces a Lights Out match for the Mid-South Coliseum featuring:

- Dirty White Boy & Dirty White Girl vs. Eric Embry & Miss Texas
- No DQ, No Time Limit
- LOSER GETS THEIR HEAD SHAVED

Embry immediately threatens to “make Eddie Marlin pay with his life” (again), because subtlety is overrated.

The Goon Squad Arrives

- Boss Winters reinvents himself as “The Godfather” and unveils his newest creation… The Goon Squad.

The real meat of this episode?

- Bill Dundee and Danny Davis take their fractured friendship to another level. The Light Heavyweight Title now carries a $40,000 Japan payday attached to it and suddenly this isn’t about friendship or belts anymore. Dundee calls Davis greedy. Davis calls Dundee a backbiter.
What started as mutual respect turns into one of the most emotionally real promos we’ve seen in months. This was Memphis storytelling at its best.

Plus We Discuss:

• Why Memphis constantly undercut its own stipulations
• The long-term damage of not paying off angles and delivering finishes
• Whether Dirty White Boy was legitimately injured?
• Awesome Kong vs. Freezer Thompson II (the rematch nobody asked for)
• And Dave Brown absolutely not tolerating nonsense this week

Episode #93 delivers chaos, emotional storytelling, and one of the most talked about punches of the year.

And yes… we spend entirely too much time talking about The Goon Squad.
