Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast Ep. 106 (11/2/91) Flea Comes Home! 2026-06-03 13:07

Episode #106 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast takes the gang back to the November 2, 1991 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, and somehow the show manages to bring both good news and awful news at the exact same time. The good news? Corey Maclin is back at the desk with Dave Brown, and Gene could not be happier. The bad news? Well… just about everything else is fighting uphill. This week’s USWA TV features Doug Masters and Bart Sawyer continuing their push as new heel challengers to Jeff Jarrett and Robert Fuller, though the guys still aren’t completely sold on Masters, Sawyer, or the way the “Bartman” act is being used. Meanwhile, Billy Joe Travis returns with a new hired gun after last week’s masked man experiment goes nowhere, and this time he brings in “The Missouri Tiger” Jeff Gaylord to challenge Jerry Lawler for the Unified World Title, and when Jeff Gaylord is the top challenger for Jerry Lawler’s Unified title, these are time so hard that Dusty Rhodes couldn’t ever relate to them. Meanwhile, Dog of War is still here patiently waiting for Jimmy Valiant to bring back, “Flea”……and sadly it appears the “Freezer Thompson Experiment” is reaching it’s conclusion. This episode is peak “we’re just trying to survive this stretch of Memphis TV” energy: bad booking, funny promos that shouldn’t be funny, attempts at funny promos that aren’t, confusing angles, and three hosts doing their best to make sense of whatever the USWA thought this was supposed to be.
