Classic Wrestling Review: 1994-01-22 USWA


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you found this entry.  Today, 2020-02-13,  I am going into the way back machine again this time to Jan 22nd, 1994 and going now to Memphis for some USWA action.  I have a feeling we will see at least one Lawler if not more!  Perhaps a Gilbert or two as well!  So lets go down for some old school territory WRESTLING!
  • Koko, Gilberts, Lawlers and Skull Von Krush!  What a show!
  • Oh right I forgot about Big Business Brown
  • Triple B looks very awkward in that shirt and tie.  Probably should have a jacket on if you are "Big Business"
  • Del Rios has a great body but horrible gear
  • He pulled his ear hair!  I SAW IT DAVE BROWN!
  • SABU IS HERE!  Oh, wait never mind it is a weird wizard of some kind.  
  • The Great Mephisto was the wizard...okay that was strange
  • Seriously?  He was shot?
  • I wonder where Eddie would be right now had his "demons" not caught up with him.  
  • What is with Anthony's gloves?
  • Eddie has a point, you cannot go over the top rope, its a DQ!
  • I wonder if this is before or after Gaylord attacked Eddie in the GWF, I assume after
  • Jeff, of course, is well known for a series of bank robberies in Colorado years later
  • Triple B should learn you do not actually choke them on the ropes, you pull them down on the ropes to choke them
  • He picked that chain up AFTER the match.  This is horrible!
  • Look at those trunks Brian has on!  Nothing says mid-90's then that
  • Does Lawler ever age?
  • Ah you gotta love live TV
  • More Great Mephisto stuff?
  • I love that Koko is still in his High Energy gears several years later
  • Koko being very aggressive.  Not the Birdman we remember
  • Did Koko just say Jap?  WOW!
Lawler can just talk you into the arena!  I want to go watch this Texas Deathmatch!  Brian was not that bad either.  You throw in some great Eddie talking and a solid Del Rios match and this was a fun show.  Again the USWA shows were all about getting you to come to the big Monday show each week but when it was good it was good.  The Great Mephisto is so weird.   Also what is up with Koko repeatedly saying Jap?  Very odd!
