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Gary Hart's promotion has officially folded and its television show in Texas has been replaced by the LPWA.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

USWA
Jerry Lawler won the Texas title in the title vs. title match with Eric Embry on 4/26 at the Dallas Sportatorium. This title change probably won't be recognized in Memphis because Lawler is supposed to be taking a vacation there because of neck injuries. Before the Lawler-Embry match, Lawler told the fans in Texas that he's working the match against doctor's orders because of his neck injury which is I guess because some fans in Tennessee may see the match in syndication or on ESPN.

Danny Davis won the USWA light heavyweight title on 4/23 from El Grande Pistolero (Gypsy Joe) in Louisville. This change will be recognized throughout both circuits because three nights later in Dallas, they announced to the crowd Davis had won the light heavyweight title from Pistolero.

4/26 in Dallas drew 583 as Terry Garvin beat Pistolero via DQ for over-the-top rope, Sweet Georgia Brown beat Sweet Sherri to win the USWA Texas women's title, Texas Hangmen beat Bill Dundee & Danny Davis when Dundee was pinned after J.C. Ice Baby (Jamie Dundee) gave one of the Hangmen a gimmick to put in his mask and use on Dundee, Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller beat Steve Austin & Tom Prichard via DQ when Austin hit ref Tony Falk with a chair, Gary Young beat Boogie Man via DQ when Embry interfered, Lawler pinned Embry in a match with the USWA title up against the Texas title. The match was in a cage. After the obligatory ref bump, Tojo Yamamoto gave Embry a chain which he used on Lawler and covered him but no ref. Jarrett then came out and punched Tojo and grabbed his briefcase. Embry climbed to the top of the cage as did Jarrett, holding the briefcase and Jarrett hit Embry with it and he fell back into the ring and Lawler pinned him. The finale was a Thunderdome match where Austin & Embry & Hangmen & Pistolero beat Davis & Dundee & Fuller & Young & Jarrett in a match where the heels managed to handcuff all the faces and were allowed to continue to beat on them until everyone on the face team juiced.

4/23 in Louisville saw Davis beat Pistolero for the title, Ice Baby beat Night Train Jackson, Dundee & Steve Keirn beat Hangmen in a non-title match, Jarrett & Fuller beat Prichard & Austin and Eddie Gilbert DDQ Embry.

4/22 in Memphis drew 1,500 as Davis pin Jackson, Pistolero beat Brian Christopher, Ice Baby pinned Uptown Bruno in a match with Ice Baby's hair against Bruno's $1,000 with Bill Dundee as ref when one Hangman distracted Dundee and the other Hangman interfered, Hangmen no contest with Keirn & Dundee for the tag titles, Fuller & Jarrett beat Prichard & Austin, Embry beat Gilbert in a chain match when Embry blew Kabuki mist into Gilbert's eyes and Fuller & Keirn & Jarrett & Dundee went to a no contest with Ajustin & Prichard & Hangmen.

Austin is leaving for WCW shortly.

Several other guys were fired as the group is trying to cut costs. The departed include Bruno and Jackson, while Keirn went back home to Florida after finishing his three-week run.

Keirn was "injured" on TV on 4/27 when he had a singles match against Austin and the Hangmen jumped in and they gave him a double stuff pile driver on the floor.

Hangmen then had a television match against Davis & Gilbert in which both falls ended with a ton of faces and heels both interfering to push the 10-man Texas Brawl anything goes street fight match on 4/29. . . 4/29 in Memphis has Gilbert & Dundee & Davis & Fuller & Jarrett vs. Hangmen & Austin & Prichard & Embry plus the undercard has Davis vs. Hangman Psycho, Dundee vs. Hangman Killer, Fuller vs. Prichard (both men are vowing to bring in loaded boots after Prichard put a gimmick on his boot to bloody up Fuller on television), Jarrett vs. Austin for the Southern title and Embry vs. Gilbert in a Texas Death match with two referees.

The first USWA spot show in Texas in many months took place on 4/27 in Ennis, TX and drew less than 100 fans.

On the Dallas TV show, J.C. Ice Baby acknowledged that Bill Dundee was his father, but it was something that slipped out rather than planned. It's never been said in Dallas about the relation between the two. Later in the show, when Dundee did an interview, he never even brought up the subject and it appears it was just a situation of someone getting confused when they are wrestling with two different story-lines per week.

Dundee & Davis did say that the reason Ice Baby hadn't been around was because they had gotten him suspended from the USWA these past few weeks.
