As we open Episode #109, Corey Maclin is still in the mix alongside Dave Brown, and the USWA seems to be deep in a “throwing s*** at the wall” phase. The Spirit of America is back, the Gravedigger is back, Nate the Rat has money for some reason and is threatening to cremate Jeff Jarrett , Reggie B. Fine has apparently found religion and the board game, Candy Land and has turned into the “Candyman”, and Jerry Lawler is trying to explain a Thanksgiving “turkey match” while wearing one of the ugliest outfits he has ever worn on television. Gene, Josh, and BT spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what happened to the show. Not long ago, 1991 USWA felt like one of the strongest runs they had covered, with Eric Embry, Jeff Jarrett, Robert Fuller, Dr. Tom Prichard, Bill Dundee, “Uncle Danny”, and the Texas vs. Tennessee war keeping things moving. Now, suddenly, the show is full of Gravediggers, Candy Men, Spirit of America garbage bags, turkey feathers, blowtorches, weird rankings, and gimmicks that feel more like someone trying to copy WWF without fully understanding why any of it worked. That makes the episode frustrating as wrestling TV, but very funny as podcast material, which will leave you feeling just as “turkeyfied” as Tony Falk when it’s over. Episode #109 is full of bad gimmicks, strange decisions, hilarious commentary, and that very specific kind of Memphis wrestling weirdness where even when the show is falling apart, you still can’t look away (unless your Josh in 1991).
