  USWA match highlights from Monday 7-27-92****************
       Rock n Roll Express vs Eddie + Doug Gilbert - As all four wrestlers
  battled outside with the Gilberts getting the worst of it, Eddie Gilbert
  purposely slugged the referee so that his team would be disqualified and
  the match ended. 

       Brian Christopher vs Tom Prichard (For the Southern Heavyweight Belt)-
  Minutes into the match Prichard accidentally clotheslined the ref.
  Christopher then stunned Prichard  with a snappy reverse neckbreaker,
  followed by a big leg drop from the top rope. When Christopher turned to
  drag the dazed ref over to make the count Prichard rolled up Christopher
  from behind for a clean pin.

       12 Man Battle Royal for $10,000 - $10,000 in a bag was attached to the
  top of a ten foot pole with the winner being the first wrestler who could
  climb the pole and bring the bag down. When the Battle Royal was whittled
  down to Dutch Mantell, Robert Fuller, and both Moondogs as the 4 remaining
  wrestlers, the Moondogs double-teamed Mantell giving Fuller a chance to
  scramble up the pole and bring the money down. After Fuller was declared
  the winner, the Moondogs with manager Richard Lee beat Fuller to a 
  bloody pulp.

       J. Lawler/J. Jarret vs The Moondogs(For USWA World Tag Titles with 
  Richard Lee's hair at stake.) - Typical Moondog type of match with assorted
  foreign objects used. Moondog Cujo decked Moondog Spot with a "DEAD END"
  street sign as Jarret ducked out of the way and rolled Spot up for the 
  pin. After the match Richard Lee was shaved bald in the middle of the ring.


  ******TV Highlights from Sat. morning 8-1-92 *******************
       Billy Travis/The Hornet vs B.Christopher/Mike Samples - Christopher 
  pinned Travis after manager Lauren Davenport sprayed hair spray into
  Travis' eyes. 

       Reno Riggins(New Face) vs Frank Spears - Riggins won the match after
  about 2 minutes with a flying bodypress off the top rope. 

       Richard Lee, whose head was shaved the previous Monday night brought
  out Fifi, the Moondogs sister from Louisiana. Moondog Fifi's hair is at
  stake in the rematch with Lawler/Jarret for the tag titles.

       Rock n Roll Express vs Mean Mike MIller/Mr. Clyde - RnR Express in
  control for most of the match until Lauren Davenport entered the ring and
  interfered. Miss Texas ran out to pull her off the wrestlers and the two
  wrestled around in their mini skirts (setting up their upcoming "Street
  Fight").

       Lawler/Jarret vs Eddie+Doug Gilbert - After a couple of minutes of
  wrestling L. Davenport again enters the ring, pulling Jarret's hair.
  Miss Texas was quickly out again to roll on the mat with Davenport. This
  time Moondog Fifi also came out to the ring and clotheslined Miss Texas
  and was going after Lawler with a chair as they went to a commercial break.

    Due to some interest being shown about USWA happenings here on the net,
  I will try to post weekly summaries from the Monday night cards in Memphis
  and the Saturday morning TV show. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
  Hopefully, I'll get better at this as I go along. I will post last week's
  summaries tomorrow.
