Retro Re-View Episode #06: USWA February 6, 1993 (Featuring Doink the Clown!)
Another week of USWA Championship Wrestling as Gene Jackson prepares to review the 2/6/93 episode, he's excited to welcome WrestleCopia's very own Ray Russell as the special guest co-host this week... and what a week it is! On this episode, USWA Southern Champion Brian Christopher has invited his new friend from the WWF, Doink the Clown to join him down in Memphis, as shenanigans quickly ensue in the TV-5 studios! In the course of this week's show, Brian and Doink managed to pull pranks on Jerry Lawler, Miss Texas, Jeff Jarrett, and announcer Corey Maclin! There's banana peels, pies, oil spills, and......MORE PIES!! It's an unforgettable episode of USWA Wrestling and it's a full on showcase of the Doink character very shortly after his WWF television debut. We get to see the full range of what Matt Borne was bringing to the table as Doink out of the ring, in the ring, and behind the microphone! However it's not all Doink this week (but mostly Doink). A HEEL Howard Finkel addresses his feud vs. the BABYFACE Harvey Wippleman, better known to Memphis fans as Downtown Bruno!. Speaking of which, BRUNO-MANIA runs wild in the TV Studio this week as well, BROTHER! We also hear from Bert Prentice, Mike Samples, Miss Texas, and Richard Lee. We see the Bruise Brothers in action, the Moondogs have a match (sorta), and favorite of the show Mr. Clyde sees action as well! If you haven't checked out the podcast yet, this is the perfect episode to jump on board, and if you have listened in the past....this is one you DON'T WANNA MISS!!
