USWA: To the surprise of very few, WMC-TV5 General Manager Mason Granger cancelled its flagship USWA wrestling tv show, with the final show (a taped highlights show) airing on October 4th. The decision was made stemming from the current lawsuit between the Selkers and Lawler/Burton, and whilst that was on-going, the company wasn’t operational. In related news, former USWA employee Bert Prentice had opened a new promotion called ‘Music City Wrestling’, using many of the former USWA wrestlers and interestingly, was being financially backed to a small degree by Jerry Jarrett, a former USWA owner. It was speculated that this new group may tape tv and take over USWA’s tv show syndication deals.
