Joe Vs. The World returns with a very special episode! Dylan Hales joins Joe to recap "Hotstuff" Eddie Gilbert's run in the USWA in 1990. You've seen or heard about Eddie running over Jerry Lawler with a car, but we dive into all of the angles, interviews, and matches that went along with it, as well as the disappointing end. Also featuring appearances from Kowabunga the Ninja Turtle, MC Jammer, and the New Kids!

Best of all, you can follow along too!:

Really enjoyed this one, guys. I honestly haven't watched a lot of this USWA stuff since at least 2012, but Dylan's enthusiasm for a lot of the segments had my hyped to go back and revisit a bunch of them.

 

So yeah. Safe to say I'll be YouTubing a little bit over the next couple of weekends. McMemphis, Harts War, Horror of the Moondogs, and this gem of a series...

 

I know you mentioned a Gilbert-centered Exile project, but I'd legitimately love to hear you guys tackle the "Eric Embry in USWA" Texas vs. Tennessee feud at some point. It's out there and easily accessible as well.

 

It's about 100+ segments long, but it's fantastic and would be a lot of fun to break down. It's got Embry, Lawler, Gilbert, Prichard, Keirn, Fuller, Jarrett, Anthony, you name it... It only reinforces Dylan's point about how different and unique Memphis was, even as the wheels appeared to be falling out from underneath 'em.
