On this week's episode, we revisit the July 10th 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! Fresh off regaining the Unified World title from Owen Hart on July 5th, Bert Prentice introduces a new challenger for the King who promises to "drain all the blood of the King's living body!"  Johnny Polo reappears after being AWOL for a few weeks to take on the "Fabulous One" Jeff Jarrett! Polo also introduces us to his friend, the Disco Inferno who is here to challenge "Nightmare" Danny Davis for the USWA Middleweight title!

Bert Prentice now manages the new USWA Tag Team Champions "Principal" C.W. Bergstrom & Melvin Penrod Jr but Bert's "other tag team" Simply Divine want their shot at the titles, Bert's time as Dunn & King's manager may be done, perhaps even…."WELL DUNN".   Plus: Scott Taylor & Randy Rockett in tag team action and the main event of the show is Jerry 'the King' Lawler vs. Brian Christopher w/Miss Simpson!

This week we travel back to the June 5th 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling where some new faces are making their debut! "The Natural" Bo Alexander is here looking like a younger less buff version of "Golden Boy" Chic Donovan. Then we meet Ronnie Lotz all the way from Chicago with his tag team, The Untouchables.  Jerry Lawler fresh off winning the #1 Contender's Tournament for Papa Shango's Unified World title gets convinced by Bert Prentice to put it on the line in a match against Rex King.  We hear from Jeff Gaylord who takes on Reggie B. Fine in a singles match, then in the main event Jeff Jarrett teams with Miss Texas against the Master of Terror and Brandi Wine in a mixed tag team match!  PLUS: Miss Simpson is here "cleaning up" Dave Brown and Corey Maclin while calling out Miss Texas! Meanwhile, Brian Christopher refuses to defend the Southern Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett and in turn Eddie Marlin is forcing him to defend the title against the Undertaker!

(to be his manager that is)  "Jennifer on the Road" pays a visit to Jerry Lawler's house to see his Coca-Cola Collection and some of his art work amongst other things.  Jeff Jarrett who was just recently in a serious auto accident with Promoter/Grandfather Eddie Marlin, has a serious message for everyone.  Miss Texas still plans to "beat Miss Simpson like she owns her".  Brian Christopher cuts a promo that you just have to hear to believe that it happened on Memphis TV in 93 and then he proceeds to beat Miss Texas with a belt like he… nevermind…just check out the show!

It's episode #24 as we revisit the May 22nd 1993 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling. The show kicks off with Johnny Polo gifting his "best friend" Brian Christopher one of his "British Nannies", Miss Simpson!  From there Brian Christopher brings in a "legend" to take on Jeff Jarrett for a shot at his Southern Heavyweight title (meanwhile the hosts are not impressed with the new Southern Heavyweight Championship belt that has been quietly introduced with no mention on TV)  Mike Samples has returned….once again but this time he doesn't bring with him a "Russian Brute" but instead a disgraced High School Principal from Oregon who was let go due to his questionable disciplinary methods, no matter how awful you THINK this sounds, I promise you it's worse. (especially when you find out who he's going to feud with)

Jerry Lawler & Koko B. Ware are still sore at Simply Divine and Bert Prentice over last week's incident as well as getting robbed in their tag team title match last Monday night, this week they plan to place Bert in a homemade "straitjacket" and Koko has literally threatened to KILL Bert Prentice.  This is a fun episode of the podcast that you don't want to miss!

This week we head back to May 15, 1993 for our review of USWA Championship Wrestling as they prepare for their big "BattleBowl '93" nine team battle royal! We have not one but TWO big championship matches this week! The Master of Terror will challenge Wolfie D for the USWA Middleweight Championship and later in the show Brian Christopher defends the Southern Heavyweight Championship against "Nightmare" Danny Davis! 

In other happenings on the show this week: Bert Prentice returns to the USWA after spending three weeks in "Honnah-Lulah" singing with Don Ho!  PG-13 are suddenly "good guys" without any explanation. Simply Divine try to take out Koko B. Ware for good until Jerry Lawler saves him in nothing but his "tighty whiteys" (or was it a "Polynesian??)  If it sounds like an interesting show…it certainly was, check out the podcast and we'll help you make sense of it all!
