uswa tv episode archive download USWA Main Event. USWA Main Event is an American professional wrestling program that aired in syndication. It began in 1987 as Wild West Wrestling , the program for the short-lived Fort Worth-based promotion of the same name, from its debut until the Wild West promotion was absorbed into World Class Championship Wrestling late that year. It then became one of the two nationally-syndicated programs for WCCW (the other being the long-running World Class Championship Wrestling ) until WCCW's purchase by Memphis wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett and subsequent renaming to the United States Wrestling Association in August 1989, at which point Wild West Wrestling was renamed as USWA Main Event and continued production under that name until it ended in August 1990.

North Vs South: The Invasion Storyline You Never Heard Of. We all remember the WCW “Invasion” angle in the WWE back in 2001. To say it was an utter disappointment would be an understatement. For the most part, the WWE guys were booked to look stronger than the WCW guys. Speaking of WCW guys, the majority of talent that came over from the WCW buyout were undercard guys. The bigger names like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Ric Flair and Sting would either come after this storyline played out…or in Sting’s case…never came at all. Believe it or not, there was a much better inter-promotional war the WWF was embroiled in in the early 1990’s. It featured wrestlers who were heels in one promotion and babyfaces in another. Multiple title switches between companies and the early debut of one of the WWF’s greatest villains. It was also a feud that if you didn’t live in the Tennessee area…you most likely never saw and perhaps never knew existed. It was the World Wrestling Federation versus the now defunct United States Wrestling Association(USWA) The back story was that the USWA…which was originally formed to compete with both the WWE and WCW as a national promotion…had fallen on some hard times financially. In an effort for the USWA to stay relevant and afloat, a working agreement and talent exchange was started with the WWF. Memphis’ biggest star at the time…Jerry “The King” Lawler went up north to the WWF. It was there that Jerry Lawler ignited a feud with Bret “The Hitman” Hart…claiming to be the ONLY King of wrestling. A feud many fans thought was just confined within the WWF rings…when in actuality it also spilled over into the USWA. The big difference between the feud in the WWF and the simultaneous feud in the USWA was Jerry Lawler was a heel in the WWF and a face in the USWA…the opposite scenario with Bret Hart. The war soon expanded to include USWA and WWF wrestlers like Jeff Jarrett, Brian Christopher, Eddie Gilbert, Lex Luger, The Harlem Knights, The Orient Express, Koko B. Ware and Shawn Michaels. The USWA World title would change hands between Jerry Lawler and WWF stars like Tatanka, Owen Hart and Randy Savage. All the WWF stars were heels when they wrestled in Memphis. An interesting side note… Tatanka was billed as an undefeated star for over a year within the WWF. However, his first legitimate loss as a WWF star came while wrestling down in Memphis as a part of the USWA war. The most interesting aspect of the storyline was the development of what would turn out to be one of the WWE’s greatest heels a few years later…Mr. McMahon. Yes, even Vince McMahon was inserted into the feud as a heel owner of the WWF. Vince would appear several times on USWA television mocking Jerry Lawler, the USWA and the city of Memphis, Tennessee. Vince played a heel to perfection as he would use his money and power to corrupt a USWA referee named Paul Neighbors to give his stars the upper hand in matches. Vince also went as far as to mock USWA fans by wearing the USWA title in a taped vignette. All in all, a very entertaining and more meaningful invasion storyline then the WCW one a few years later. The WWF and USWA continued their working agreement into the mid to late 90’s until the promotion finally went bankrupt and folded. Uswa tv episode archive download.

Throwback Thursday: USWA Challenge (April 1, 1991), As Seen on WWE Network. This week Throwback Thursday takes a deep dive in the archives of the WWE Network to re-examine a “classic” edition of USWA Challenge . For those who might now know, the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) was a result of the Von Erich’s Dallas-based World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) and Jerry Jarrett’s Memphis-based Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) merging in 1989 in an attempt to compete nationally. Instead there ended up being a USWA Memphis and a separate USWA Dallas, whose product was seen on a near daily basis on ESPN. But financial issues led to Kevin & Kerry Von Erich filing suit against Jerry Jarrett and withdrawing from the USWA in September of 1990, choosing to relaunch WCCW instead. When a TV deal didn’t materialize, however, WCCW was forced to cease operations, running their final show on November 23, 1990. On December 28, 1990, the USWA returned to Dallas for the first time since early September. By the time of this taping, with the new Global Wrestling Federation (GWF) on their way in, the USWA was little more than a placeholder in Dallas, running its final show in Dallas on June 21, 1991. This edition of USWA Challenge , as with the rest of the USWA/GWF content on the WWE Network, is most notable for including early matches from WWE Hall of Famers Steve Austin, Mick Foley, and Jeff Jarrett, as well matches featuring Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler. So, after 28 years, let’s flip over to the WWE Network, hit ‘play’, and see how well this edition of USWA Challenge holds up! Aside from music overdubbing and local promos & ads, this edition of USWA Challenge appears to be untouched.
