This week on the Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, we head back to August 11, 1991, and what starts as a fairly standard Memphis TV episode quickly turns into one of the more chaotic, heated hours we’ve seen in weeks. Fresh off “Homecoming ’91,” Eddie Marlin announces a Lights Out match for the Mid-South Coliseum featuring: - Dirty White Boy & Dirty White Girl vs. Eric Embry & Miss Texas - No DQ, No Time Limit - LOSER GETS THEIR HEAD SHAVED Embry immediately threatens to “make Eddie Marlin pay with his life” (again), because subtlety is overrated. The Goon Squad Arrives - Boss Winters reinvents himself as “The Godfather” and unveils his newest creation… The Goon Squad. The real meat of this episode? - Bill Dundee and Danny Davis take their fractured friendship to another level. The Light Heavyweight Title now carries a $40,000 Japan payday attached to it and suddenly this isn’t about friendship or belts anymore. Dundee calls Davis greedy. Davis calls Dundee a backbiter. What started as mutual respect turns into one of the most emotionally real promos we’ve seen in months. This was Memphis storytelling at its best. Plus We Discuss: Why Memphis constantly undercut its own stipulations The long-term damage of not paying off angles and delivering finishes Whether Dirty White Boy was legitimately injured? Awesome Kong vs. Freezer Thompson II (the rematch nobody asked for) And Dave Brown absolutely not tolerating nonsense this week Episode #93 delivers chaos, emotional storytelling, and one of the most talked about punches of the year. And yes… we spend entirely too much time talking about The Goon Squad.
