Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-29 USWA


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you found this entry.  Today, 2020-03-28, I am checking out the last USWA of January 1994, the 29th.  As I have said before I am not really knowledgeable of Memphis wrestling or the USWA but anytime I can hear Lawler talk it is winning so enough of my talking and let us get to his!
  • PG-13, the Lawler/Christopher Team, the Gilberts...yeah this is good stuff!
  • Uggg, Triple B is just bad, luckily he did not talk during this interview
  • Anthony looks quite a bit like an Armstrong facially....
  • I love how the fans were always into the faces and not the "smart" fans that we hear now aways.  They would be chanting fight forever not Go Mike Go.  I hate modern fans
  • Is Kevin Christian also one of King's sons?
  • Todd Morton has the worst ring gear, I am just going go wear a leather duster because dusters are cool.  This is not Always Sunny Todd!
  • Is it weird these guys are as tall as JC Ice?
  • I wonder if it is hard to wrestle in those full body suits, they cannot breath 
  • Yeah I would use the Hubcap not the briefcase unless it has bricks in it
  • Obviously setting up a strap match or country whipping match
  • What is up with those trunks Eddie?
  • How great was Eddie Gilbert?  It is sad how forgotten he is
  • We need more ether angles in wrestling!
  • Vine went up like a bag of wet cement
  • That was an ugly combo
  • Todd Morton looks like a weird bizzaro Chris Jericho
  • Belt on a pole match, I was not too far off on the PG-13 angle
  • Reggie B. Fine was entertaining for sure!
  • what does brian have on his trunks?  Kiss off?  Not really a babyface phrase
  • That is a brainbuster or ghostbuster as Koko used to call it, not a powerbomb there Cory Macklin!
  • Wow Bert was large and in charge
Another fun USWA show.  Yes you have the Lawlers and Gilberts all over the place but they were the draws so why not.  However everyone on the show looks good and the matches are a good lengthy.  Nothing too long and it was all about getting you to go to their live shows.  I miss territory wrestling the more I watch USWA or SMW from this time period!  Overall a fun show and worth checking out for the Gilbert and Lawler promos alone!
