Re-View #97: USWA 8/31/91 ("Dirty" Dutch evens the odds!)

On this episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel break down the August 31, 1991 episode featuring a new Unified World Champion, one of the most outrageous promos you’ll ever see, and a show that somehow manages to have both great wrestling AND complete madness at the same time.We kick things off with the shocking title change as the Dragon Master steals the Unified World Championship from Jerry Lawler thanks to some questionable officiating and even more questionable interference. Then… Christopher “Honey” Love delivers an all-timer promo complete with a proposed dress code for the fans on Monday night that might be the most Memphis thing ever put on television.From there:A fantastic TV match between Dr. Tom Prichard and Nightmare Danny Davis that reminds you just how good this roster could beA chaotic Miss Texas vs. Sweet Georgia Brown ringside brawl Dutch Mantell returns and immediately starts roasting his own WCW “Desperado” run while teaming with LawlerReggie B. Fine continues to be the most unintentionally hilarious man in wrestlingHandsome Jimmy Valiant and Sweet Georgia Brown turn Dave Brown’s life into an HR violation nightmare.And yes… an unprotected chair shot from Bill Dundee that sounds like it echoed through three countiesPlus, we run down the absolutely STACKED Labor Day Star Wars card featuring 14 matches, 37 wrestlers, along with a TWO RING, TRIPLE CHANCE BATTLE ROYAL.This show had everything. Great wrestling, ridiculous angles, uncomfortable moments, and Memphis insanity at its finest.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 ★
