Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast Ep. 81 (USWA 5/25/91) - The Lone Ranger Arrives!

The Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast is back, and this week the gang tackles the May 25, 1991 edition of USWA Championship Wrestling. This week marks the quiet debut of Corey Maclin, co-hosting with Jerry “The King” Lawler, while the Texas vs. Tennessee war officially crosses the line into attempted murder territory. Episode highlights include: - The surprise arrival of Corey Maclin: no explanation, no buildup, he's just here now - The Texas Ranger debuts and his identity is no mystery! - Jamie Dundee’s infamous contract loophole angle takes the term "bait and switch" to a new low - Doug Gilbert unmasks himself as the Lone Ranger to a huge studio pop - Eddie Gilbert delivers another top notch babyface promo, and gets some love from Dave Meltzer for it - Robert Fuller is smothered with a F****** plastic bag on live TV! - “CPR” is administered by a ring full of wrestlers without an EMT in sight! - The most awkward follow up ever: an immediate eight man tag match involving the attempted murderers Boards, beatdowns, fireballs, rat tails, and Corey Maclin saying “Ree-dick-uh-lus” over and over! "Man oh man!" Was this brilliant heat? Total madness? Or both? The guys break down what worked, what didn’t, and why Memphis wrestling always found a way to go just a little further than everyone else.
