The USWA vs GWF Feud Vol.1
From May 1992, Eddie Gilbert comes out during a Lauren Davenport interview unannounced. He talks about the USWA and how he went to the Global Wrestling Federation and won the World title. He also talks about the USWA open door policy and Jerry Lawler. This brings out Guy Coffey and Eddie Marlin. Tom Prichard comes out and challenges Eddie.
This is part 1 of a multi part series. Before the feuds with WWF and SMW, The USWA feuded with the Global Wrestling Federation from Dallas. Eddie Gilbert was fired/quit the GWF and brought the GWF title with him. Other guys featured in this feud was Bull Pain and Samantha, Steven Dane, Bert Prentice and Mike Samples as a Vince McMahon figure head character. It didn't last very long(only a couple months) because the head of the GWF, Max Andrews threatened to sue. Still this is rare stuff and pretty funny.

(Updated 6-16-23 6:45 PM) When The Current Era Of People Alleging To Be In The Wrestling Business Show Their Ignorance
It's always so amusing when someone like myself makes a simple yet, honest reply based in truth, how the current era of guys alleging to be in the wrestling business show their ignorance and prove me right.The replies to what I said re-enforced everything that's wrong about the current of 'wrestler' now, and yet these dumb shits keep doing it to themselves, because they don't know how to keep their mouths shut.
Now I met Bob Evans back in 1998-99 when he was wrestling for the Eastern Wrestling Alliance (back then it was based in Maine and I also was working for that company as well), I chatted with him and picked his brain as I have done with guys like the late Walter 'Killer' Kowalski, Mike Hollow (who was head trainer at Kowalski's school at the time),Dory Funk Jr, Jim Cornette, Bruce and Time Prichard when they appeared on WWA New England shows (another company I had worked for), and the late Sylvano Sousa (who gave me my break into the business when he was running his Atlantic Wrestling Federation). Because that's what you do when you want legitimate knowledge about the business, you go to the guys who have laid the ground work, and in Prichard's and Evans' case, STILL lay the ground work to this day. true knowledge by true experts who know what the fuck they're talking about.
So when I see something that Bob posts that sparks an interest I read it and if there's a reason to reply, I do. I mean let's put it pout there, lord knows i have MANY times. Most of today's modern or current wrestling is the shits, it's the shits because too many guys keep doing the same ol same ol moves, too many 'wrestlers' do the same flip flip, 'no sell' routine and most guys aren't capable of telling a story within their match. That's the honest truth and you see it in AEW, Impact, even WWE as well as many different indy groups haver that "I gotta get all my shit in" guys who either can't sell properly because they weren't trained to do it correctly, OR, they simply feel that 'selling' correctly is something that's beneath them and don't see a need for it to be done.
So it doesn't surprise me at all when I make a reply like you'll see in the screen shots, and then see the wannabe experts who are the current era of wrestler reiterate the ignorant mentality that seems to be seeping in many many wrestlers now. I also love how quick they are to try and allege I was never in the business, and whoola, that old article I wrote for Evan Ginzburg's Wrestling Then And Now newsletter back in 1997 comes back again to slap yet another dumb ass, putting him in 'check' for ASSuming, when HE, really doesn't know shit.
So you can go ahead and read how these dipshits tried to get themselves over with their smarky remarks, and failed,. Because it's guys like them who aren't smart enough to show me why, I should invest in watching their matches, come to the shows they're on, etc., Instead they show why I stopped watching 98% of today's wrestling. Guys like me are what they should be trying to get to reinvest in being a fan of wrestling again, instead? They show why many guys like myself stopped being interested.
Congrats, great job, Maybe Bob Evans should put in a "Lose The Ignorant Attitude" as part of his training seminars at various shows.
It's obvious by the replies here, it's badly needed.
