On this week's episode, we revisit the September 25, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling! The entire ringside area is surrounded by a dog pen of sorts…actually, not of sorts.

On this week's episode, we revisit the August 14, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling for what's being billed as "The Mother of All Matches". (umm, yeah.)

On this week's episode, we revisit the July 24, 1993 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling. So, it turns out that "Miss Simpson" may actually be "Mrs. Adams" as "Gentleman" Chris Adams arrives in Memphis looking for his wife who he finds at ringside during Brian Christopher's match!
