Re-View #94: USWA 8/17/91 (Honey Love Presents: The Dragon Master)

This week, the Retro Re-View Gang break down one of the most bizarrely entertaining episodes of USWA TV in recent memory featuring gimmick changes, booking head scratchers, heated rivalries, and the unforgettable arrival of a certain “Honey”-voiced manager.On this episode:- MC Slammer is born – Brickhouse Brown trades in the tough guy persona for a rap gimmick that leaves the studio crowd underwhelmed to say the least....- Lord Humongous… but which one? – A Sid Vicious highlight reel is followed by a noticeably less “humongous” in-studio version, leading to one of the strangest bait and switch moments in Memphis TV history.- Bill Dundee vs. Danny Davis escalates – A simple question (“Are we still friends?”) turns into punches, pride, and a no pinfall stipulation that cranks up the intensity. - Jeff Jarrett & Eric Embry’s war continues – Fireballs, blood, shaved heads, and a Lights Out match looming at the Mid-South Coliseum. - Enter Christopher Love (“Honey…”) and the Dragon Master – The Dawn of Bert Prentice in Memphis, and a 7'3" monster allegedly coming for Jerry Lawler. - Handsome Jimmy Valiant returns to challenge for the Southern Title. - And yes… that fireball botch gets discussed.As always, they break it down segment by segment, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and what in the world they were thinking.If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
