This week on Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA, we dive into one of the strongest TV episodes of 1991 , a show where everything revolves around Eric Embry being the absolute worst human being possible… and it works beautifully. Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel break down an episode packed with consequences, continuity, and crowd investment, as the Lawler–Embry feud escalates from Leatherface horror into full-blown studio CHAOS!!  In this episode: Why the Leatherface angle exceeded expectations and hooked the crowd Embry’s masterclass performance as a cowardly, manipulative heel The art of cutting off babyface momentum at exactly the right moment Eddie Marlin finally snapping and firing Embry on TV and why it couldn’t stick Lawler’s insistence on one more match and how that fuels the feud Why the studio chases worked instead of feeling silly Rob Van Dam’s early USWA run and a mysteriously missing finish Confusing booking, wrong records, and undefeated teams that definitely lost Bill Dundee’s repetitive promos and that unforgettable jacket Catfights, double count outs, and angles designed to sell Monday night Eddie Gilbert quits the company Real attendance numbers and live results from Dallas and Memphis This episode is a perfect example of Memphis wrestling logic: stretch the money feud, keep the crowd angry, and never give them everything at once.WATCH THE FULL TELEVISION EPISODE THEY REVIEWING, HERE: https://youtu.be/RD_BTvq5Gzw?si=waXI0OVF9TcJzSjKHere's the fun "BENNY HILL SHOW" style video mentioned on the podcast: https://youtu.be/h9hMPcF4GL4 FOR TONS OF EXCLUSIVE RETRO WRESTLING CONTENT: Check out our Patreon at www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive
