On this week's episode Gene Jackson welcomes Del Rios, who you may know as the Spellbinder from the USWA or Phantasio from the WWE. Del has had a number of personas throughout his wrestling career and in the process has had not only a pretty unique and extraordinary pro wrestling career, but the same can be said for his life in general. Del was the very first ever WWF "Developmental Wrestler" having his very first professional wrestling match at a WWF RAW TV taping before being hired on and sent to the USWA in Memphis to develop. As strange as that sounds, that's not even close to being the most unique and interesting part of Del's history. Tune in and hear about the dangerous life Del led before finding his way into the wrestling business and the events that led him into professional wrestling. They discuss his friendships with Brian Christopher, Sid Vicious, Big Vito, and so much more! This is an interview you don't wanna miss!

This week, the gang is joined by their frequent guest co-host Brian Tramel of STSPod.club as they re-view the couple of segments of the 12/25/93 USWA Championship Wrestling episode that weren't clips from previous shows featuring "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel w/Toni Adams against Mike Anthony as well as highlights of Jerry 'the King' Lawler challenging "Double J" Jeff Jarrett for the Unified World Championship. From there they review the 12/27/93 Mid-South Coliseum card and then it's time for some fun as they each give their "awards" for their favorites and least favorites of the year for 1993!

This week, the gang is re-viewing the December 18, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling and we've got NEW USWA Tag Team Champions! After only two weeks, the War Machines quit the territory after quickly dropping the tag team titles to FAR 2 WILD (Chris Michaels/Todd Morton) in Evansville, Indiana thanks to some help from their unlikely babyface manager, Bert Prentice! With the War Machines gone, PG-13 are stepping into the top heel tag team spot and it looks like Lee Womack will be joining them but what does this mean for Midget D?? Plus, Brian Christopher takes on Ali Ben-Clyde…um, I mean Ali Ben-Khan while Eddie Gilbert looks on from the commentary desk. The Gilberts then deliver a SEVERE beating to Charlie Laird before dropping him with a devastating backdrop into a powerbomb maneuver. Jerry Lawler has what feels like his now weekly match with Reggie B. Fine and the Harris Twins try to literally murder Mike Anthony! Give it a listen, it's more fun than it sounds! (seriously)

This week, the gang is watching the December 11, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling and there's a lot packed into this one! The last time we saw both Eddie and Doug Gilbert here in the USWA in 1993, they were at war with EACH OTHER! By now a few months have passed and they've settled their differences and now they're back in the USWA to do the bidding of Toni Adams against Brian Christopher and Jerry 'the King' Lawler! However, BC and the King have a surprise in store for them as they have acquired the "services" of a "valet" who they say is "TWICE the woman that Toni Adams is!" So with that being said, BERTHA will be in their corner this week and you just have to see BERTHA to believe it! A very fun and memorable segment for sure!

Plus: the brand new USWA Tag Team Champions The War Machines are in action with their manager Lee Womack against Del Rios & Tony Williams. Far 2 Wild (Todd Morton/Chris Michaels take on Doug & Eddie Gilbert w/Toni Adams, The Vampire Warrior is back, old favorite "Mr. Clyde" is back (sorta), and in the main event of the show Jerry Lawler & Brian Christopher team with "Little Eagle" against PG-13 with "Midget D"! Even Richard couldn't find much to complain about this week!

This week the gang re-views the 12/4/93 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! A lot is happening is this week's episode as some people have left the territory (Rex Hargrove for one) and some people have returned (Buddy Landel/Don Bass/Doug Gilbert). There's a shocking heel turn in a tag team match to start the show (well, maybe not THAT shocking). The brand new USWA Tag Team Champions Jeff Gaylord & Mike Anthony defend the titles in a rematch with PG-13 w/Midget D. Reggie B. Fine introduces a new manager named Lee Womack! Who is Lee Womack? Where did he come from? Who knows, they didn't tell us, but he's here now! Not only is Lee Womack here, he has a brand new tag team called the War Machines who we may have seen here before "catching dogs" if you get my drift. Plus, we hear from Brian Christopher and Jerry Lawler, and Toni Adams is looking for revenge on Brian Christopher for making her eat dog food last week!
