Re-View #80: USWA 5/18/91 (Loser Leaves Town- Take 2!)

Regardless of what we may have thought previously, this week's show is one of the wildest, most convoluted, frustrating and most head scratching episodes of USWA Championship Wrestling we’ve seen yet!

From a legit knockout in the opening match…
to a southern-fried boardroom fiasco inside Eddie Marlin’s “office”…
to Eddie Gilbert cutting the most honest babyface promo of his career…
to Hurricane Walker blowing into Memphis like a wet breeze instead of a hurricane…
to a chaotic two fall main event featuring Dr. Tom, the Dirty White Boy, Eddie Gilbert, and a very young Brian Christopher…

…it’s all here, and it’s all off the rails,

This episode covers the May 18, 1991 USWA TV broadcast, including:

- A surprising knockout finish as Ben Jordan drops Rob Golden cold
- A 3-minute “meeting” that feels like 20 — and is somehow the most Memphis thing ever
- A no-tape controversy that defies all wrestling logic
- Eddie Gilbert’s heartfelt “future King of Memphis” promo
- Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller vs. Jack Diamond & Gary Scott
- The Texas Outlaws debut… dressed like the Assassins… and get zero heat
- Hurricane Walker arrives — and immediately gets exposed
- A hard-hitting main event first fall with four absolute pros
- Full Monday Night Pipkin Building card rundown
plus BT’s live gate & finish report, spoiler teases for next week, and plenty of laughs.

If you love classic Memphis Rasslin' madness, this one’s a must listen.
