This week we head back to May 15, 1993 for our review of USWA Championship Wrestling as they prepare for their big "BattleBowl '93" nine team battle royal! We have not one but TWO big championship matches this week! The Master of Terror will challenge Wolfie D for the USWA Middleweight Championship and later in the show Brian Christopher defends the Southern Heavyweight Championship against "Nightmare" Danny Davis!

In other happenings on the show this week: Bert Prentice returns to the USWA after spending three weeks in "Honnah-Lulah" singing with Don Ho! PG-13 are suddenly "good guys" without any explanation. Simply Divine try to take out Koko B. Ware for good until Jerry Lawler saves him in nothing but his "tighty whiteys" (or was it a "Polynesian??) If it sounds like an interesting show…it certainly was, check out the podcast and we'll help you make sense of it all!

On the 22nd episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View, we revisit the May 8, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling. "Nightmare" Danny Davis defends the USWA Middleweight Championship against PG-13's Wolfie D along with J.C. Ice. Brian Christopher is still at odds with not only Jeff Jarrett but also Koko B. Ware and referee Frank Morrell. Brian has challenged Koko & Frank to a tag team match and his tag team partner is a 78 year old "legend", "Spaceman" Frank Hickey!! Scotty Flamingo lets us know he's been "living a lie" and that his real name is "Johnny Polo" and he is the manager of the brand new Unified World Champion Papa Shango who is live in the studio taking on the "not yet ready for prime time" Jerry Lynn! Plus we hear from the tag team champions Rex King & Steve Doll, we also hear from Jeff Jarrett & Billy Travis, and we get a big 8 man tag team MAIN EVENT!
