  • Retro Re-View Episode #13: USWA 3/13/1993 (Harlem Knights Are On A Mission!)
    Aug 14 2024

    It's Episode #13 of the Retro Wrestling Review as Gene, Josh, and Richard review the March 13, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! After a brief tease on the last television, The Harlem Knights are here in full force this week along with Brian Christopher and NOTHING is safe…especially the ring ropes!

    It's the in-ring television debut of Bobby and Nelson Knight (the future Mo & Mabel) and they are already being challenged by Jerry 'the King' Lawler, Jeff Jarrett, and "Nightmare" Danny Davis to a main event match at the Mid-South Coliseum!

    We actually get FIVE television matches this week which is a bit of a departure from recent episodes. PG-13 are in action this week fresh off JC Ice losing the USWA Middleweight Championship to Danny Davis. Brian Christopher and the Big Black Dog managed to win the USWA Tag Team titles last week and now they have some demands before the Moondogs get a rematch! Last week we thought Mike Samples had departed the promotion with the Harris Twins but it turns out he left for Russia by special request of the President of the United States. You'll need to see this promo to believe it, as he introduces us to….The Russian Brute! A fun episode across the board, we hope you'll check it out!
