USWA

The title change from two weeks back where Jerry Lawler beat Eric Embry for the Texas title has been overruled since the win was gained with outside interference so Embry holds both the Texas and the Southern titles. They are recognizing Embry's win over Jeff Jarrett on 5/3 in Dallas in both Texas and Tennessee, although in Tennessee they said the match took place on 5/10 in Dallas.

What did take place on 5/10 in Dallas before 391 fans saw Danny Davis beat El Gran Colosso to keep the lightheavyweight title, Chaz the Wild thing (son of Tug Taylor, a prelim wrestler out of Houston who drove the women crazy) beat Dr. Foo (a Killer Brooks trainee), Little Tokyo pinned Karate Kid when Tojo Yamamoto threw salt in Karate Kid's eyes, Bill Dundee pinned Boogie Man, Terry Daniels pinned Dog of War, Gary Young pinned El Grande Pistolero, Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller beat Embry & Tom Prichard via DQ in a major bloodbath which ended when the heels handcuffed Jarrett to the ring ropes and pulled out a plastic bag and tried to suffocate Fuller. In this case, they went all the way as they left Fuller laying there and Gary Young had to administer CPR to bring him back to life. The main event was a Texas Roundup Battle Royal (similar to Royal Rumble rules) with Dundee throwing out Pistolero & Dog of War to win. The revived Fuller managed to work the Battle Royal but he, Jarrett, Embry and Prichard all brawled out of the Battle Royal and into the dressing room.

Prichard had one of the best lines on TV here in a while when he was talking about the midget Little Tokyo. Prichard said he remembered that he held the world midgets title for a long time and he remembered when he won the title from Bill Dundee.

Gary Hart's promotion has officially folded and its television show in Texas has been replaced by the LPWA.

The 5/3 show, which drew 918 fans at $5 per head, got some of the local wrestlers upset because most of the payoffs were in the $40 range. At least one wrestler (Terry Garvin), quit over his payoff.

They did a spot show on 5/11 in Magnolia, TX before 100 fans as Prichard beat Jarrett when Boogie Man interfered but in the main event Jarrett & Davis & Colosso beat Prichard & Boogie Man & Black Angel (Tony Falk under a hood). Downtown Bruno worked as the referee on the show.

5/17 in Dallas has Sweet Georgia Brown vs. Madeline Collins for the Texas women's title, Davis & Karate Kid vs. Tojo & Little Tokyo (this will be the first mixed match in which the regular wrestlers and the midget wrestlers are the same size), Texas Hangmen defend the USWA tag titles against Daniels & Young, Dundee vs. Boogie Man and in a tornado match, Jarrett & Fuller vs. Embry & Prichard.

5/6 in Memphis drew 700 as Little Tokyo beat Karate Kid when Tojo threw salt, Dundee beat Hangman Killer to earn five minutes with his son J.C. Ice Baby and Dundee was beating on him for three minutes when Ice Baby ran off for the count out, Steve Keirn pinned Jeff Gaylord, Fuller & Davis beat Hangman Psycho & Prichard but after the match both Hangmen hung Fuller over the top rope, Eddie Gilbert beat Embry via DQ in a match where both men wore gloves with barbed wire on them when Tony Anthony interfered and attacked Gilbert (which at least should guarantee one good match per show), Keirn beat Embry via DQ in a Lights Out match and Keirn & Fuller & Dundee & Davis beat Embry & Prichard & Hangmen.

5/13 in Memphis has Karate Kid & Davis vs. Tojo & Tokyo, Gilbert vs. Anthony, Uptown Bruno vs. Miss Texas (Sweet Georgia Brown), Keirn vs. Prichard with no DQ and no time limit, Hangmen defend against Jarrett & Fuller, Embry defends the Southern title against Dundee. Bruno-Texas, Keirn-Prichard, Hangmen vs. Jarrett & Fuller and Embry-Dundee are all loser leaves the USWA for 30 days. The guess from here is that Bruno will lose, since Georgia Brown has just started as Embry's valet, Keirn will lose, Hangmen will lose and somehow Dundee will lose but turn heel and get to stay.

Dundee said he had a long talk during the week with his son and would have a major announcement on television on 5/19. He's also changed his wardrobe to give one the impression he's about to turn.

Embry claimed on television that he's retired Jerry Lawler. He then went on about their being five legends in the Memphis area, Jackie Fargo, who he claims to have run out, Jerry Jarrett, who is retired, Tojo, who is his manager, Lawler, who he claims to have ran out, and now he's going to finish things off by finishing up Dundee.

On television on 5/12, Gilbert & Ben Jordan & Karate Kid beat Hangmen & Little Tokyo when Anthony interfered for the DQ.

They ran two angles involving Bruno and Georgia Brown. In the first one, Bruno said he was going to show Georgia Brown how they treat women where he comes from, and instead of punching her, he kissed her (think about that one for a while). Later in the show Brown threw Bruno over a desk and hit him with the ring bell.
