4.8 out of 5 stars from 27 ratings
  • Informative…and funny!

    I’m a longtime wrestling fan but due to where I live, I always had a difficult time keeping up with Memphis wrestling. Going week by week in 1993, this show has really helped me fill in some gaps; it’s probably the next best thing to owning some old tapes, which I do not.

    But these guys also have their foot in the comedy world, at least 2 of them do standup I believe, so not only do they know their wrassling, the flow of the show is always super-entertaining. So a wrestling gimmick didn’t work? ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Re-View #62: USWA 1/12/91 (The FABS cash in!)
Q: What was the hosts' impression of the eight-man tag match and the overall pace of the show?
They felt the opening matches dragged and were concerned the segment's length could hurt viewer engagement, but they grew more positive as the Fabulous Ones storyline progressed and the main event built toward the big angle.
Re-View #65: USWA 2/2/91 (FAREWELL TO THE FABS!)
Q: What was the hosts' overall take on the main event and its aftermath?
They viewed the main event as a watershed moment that built multiple angles, including the Lawler-Jarrett team finally capturing the USWA Tag Team Titles with Fargo as referee, while foreshadowing renewed feuds and a dramatic post-match attack.
Re-View #96: Special Edition - BT interviews Rockin' Randy
Q: How did the Goons storyline come about and what was your mindset during the initial push?
The Goons angle started as a practical solution when there was a need to fill spots and create compelling heels; I leaned into story-driven matches, stayed professional backstage, and fought to deliver strong performances week after week to keep the territory viable, even amid backstage tensions.
Re-View #96: Special Edition - BT interviews Rockin' Randy
Q: What was going through your mind when you saw yourself on screen in that Miss Texas angle?
I was focused on learning and not overreacting; I remember Randy being told by Jerry Jarrett to handle the situation, and I tried to carry myself in a way that would earn respect while staying true to the kayfabe and getting the best possible reaction from the crowd.
Re-View #98: USWA 9/7/91 (THINGS GET HEAVY!)
Q: What stood out most to you about the episode's main promos and heat that night?
The panel highlighted how Ronnie Gossett's promo and Burt Prentice's angle drove significant heat, illustrating how backstage perceptions and kayfabe created a compelling, almost documentary-like tension that elevated the show beyond standard matches.
