UWF Fury Hour #9 Taped on September 12th at Studio 12 at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. Airing on syndication throughout the United States. Commissioner: Bruno Sammartino Commentary: Craig DeGeorge & Steve DeTuth Ring Announcer/Ringside Interviews: Boni Blackstone UWF Commissioner Bruno Sammartino is seated at his desk to give us the full rundown on next week's Knock Down, Drag Out. This match will feature every wrestler who has scored at least one victory in a one on one match and shall function largely as a battle royal with two key differences. All competitors will be permitted to come dressed as they are and shall be allowed ONE weapon of their choice. Eliminations can occur via being thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. Eliminations will only be deemed valid if performed by a competitor still active in the match. The last man standing will have the honor of being the inaugural UWF North American Champion. Further, in the interest of insuring that as many people receive a fair opportunity as possible, the matches on this weeks program will consist entirely of people who have not earned a victory in singles competition meaning that every winner shall be added to next week's event. Match #1 The Assassin defeats Sunny Beach with a headbutt from his loaded mask. *Rapid fire promos from men who are already entered into the Knock Down, Drag Out* Match #2 Gemini Kid defeats King Cobra with a sunsetflip. *Rapid fire promos from men who are already entered into the Knock Down, Drag Out* Match #3 Doink the Clown defeats "Bad Man" Barry Horowitz with a top rope seated senton. News from the Wrestling Universe: Joe Pedicino recaps the results from UWF Newborn's event in Sendai, Japan earlier in the week complete with the updated bracket of their U-COSMOS Grand Prix. *Rapid fire promos from men who are already entered into the Knock Down, Drag Out* Main Event Armando Guerrero w/Alberto Madril, Attorney at Law defeats "Dirty" Don Bass by hitting him with Madril's briefcase. Madril was poised to deliver the blow himself but Deadeye Dick & Black Bart ran down and pulled him off the apron causing the briefcase to fall into the ring and Guerrero cracked Bass with it while referee Bill Alfonzo was trying to break up the brawl at ringside.

Live from the Omni baby, let's do it. Dustin & friends fall to the rejuvenated Alliance. Badd & Long prove a capable duo. El Gigante joins the fight against Race's crew. Liger strikes down Savio. Losses in both title matches, plus friction between York & Tenryu cause major strife in the FOundation and Sasuke suffers for it.

Steve stuns everybody by beating Bundy. Shame nobody else will hear of it, I can just hear Dutch's teeth grinding together when he learned Garvin leaving the tournament meant that the bosses kid got in. Good thing Brad lost or Dutch would've really blown a gasget. Hayes wins a battle of two preening peacocks. Hennig douses the Wildfire. The semifinals see Austin beat the Tax Man while Hennig clips the Freebird's wing. The Bodies as SMW tag champs just feels right. Hennig caps off a perfect night and now we get too look forward to him & Gordy. THe main event stop backfires as the Bullet is left a bloody mess by the Stud Stable.

Great first round. As it stands, my gut says Vader's taking it this year.

Colon is coming to make CHicky pay. Andersson looks to b the Ace of the Happening battle royal. The Perez brothers strike again. The Mavericks don't have time to waste talking to their old manager. That six man title match is gonna be nuts. Fun promo train for two big hoss fights. Gamma makes clear he hasn't given up on Makhan. Vine's coins give Bar the edge over Konnan. Brown makes a hell of a statement by dropping both the champ and his manager. Still, it took two mic shots AND a Ghetto Blaster to put Kokina down.

UWF Fury Hour #8 Taped on August 15th at Studio 12 at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. Airing on syndication throughout the United States. Commissioner: Bruno Sammartino Commentary: Craig DeGeorge & Steve DeTuth Ring Announcer/Ringside Interviews: Boni Blackstone Match #1 Firecat vs King Cobra Cat is extra fired up (heh) tonight and crushes Cobra with the Moonsault. The winner joins Blackstone and makes it clear, he wants Vampire Warrior one more time! Match #2 The Patriots (Fire breaker Chip & Todd Champion) vs The Creatures Solid showcase for the newcomers who finish the masked men with a suplex/flying crossbody combo which the announcers dub the "Emergency Evac". Ranger Ross joins the Patriots who cut a rah-rah promo vowing to take the fight to those Russians. Humorously, Doink the Clown shows up armed with a Super Soaker and spends the promo making action movie poses in the background. Credit to Ross & co, they stay on task though they can be seen holding back a laugh or two. Match #3 The Dream Machine vs "Bad Man" Barry Horowitz DM shows off the classic Memphis style and while Horowitz puts up a decent fight, he is sent off to dreamland courtesy of a sleeper hold. He joins Blackstone who asks what brought him to the UWF. Dream Machine: Well let'me tell ya Miss Boni Blackstone ol' Dream Machine was up in his house in Mempho watching the world go by babay. Won't no wrasslin coming to the Grind City anymore babay and my phone was as quiet as a church mouse. I was startin' ta think the wrasslin bissnass didn't have a place for ol' Dream Machine anymore babay but then I was flipping through the channels on my ol' TV set when I found tha UWF, that Uni-versal Wrasslin Federation babay and I said to myself I said "that's the place for me babay". So I called into the office, I talked to mr Herb Abrams , I talked to that livin' Legend mr Bruno Sammartino babay and they both said that same thing, they said "Dream Machince, there's a place for ya down her in Florida babay". So now ol'd Dream Machine is here in the Sunshine state babay to prove to these great fans here in studio 12 and to wrasslin fans all around the country that the Dream Machine is still that baddest man wlkin' both sides of that Mississippi babay and today was just the beginnin'. Thank ya kindly for yo time Mrs Blackstone. News from the Wrestling Universe: Joe Pedicino runs down the fully revealed card for the AWA approaching PPV, The Happening. He also recaps UWF Commissioner Bruno Sammartino's announcement regarding the crowning of the inaugural UWF North American champion and says details regarding the match to crown said champion, the Knock Down, Drag Out will be revealed next week! Main Event Mike Graham vs The Super Destroyer w/Skandar Aakbar Graham gives a spirited effort but some well timed interference by Akbar puts him in perfect position for the Super-plex. Akbar ends the show by shouting into the camera that Super Destroyer will be the first ever UWF North American champion no matter how many people he has to beat.

A dozen matches and I wouldn't miss one.

Great lineup for the Battle of Kentucky tournament. TNT flips the script and challenges the Bodies to a tag title match. Oh i'm sure Gordy loves the idea he need protecting. This exchange killed me! Seems Mr Wright can add forgetfulness to his long list of ailments. Damn, Fuller & Golden pissed Garvin off so much he takes himself out of the tournament. Plus they pissed Bullet off so much he's stepping back in the ring and putting the four of them in a cage.

DeBeers and the Boss man get us started with a good old fashioned parking lot brawl. The Happening battle royals is really filling up, Tiger & Southern just can't decide a winner. Someone just made Slater an offer. Warrior gets some payback on Barby. The Mavericks are moving on.

The Patriot goes 3 for 3 in his debut weekend. Hall's return should provide a boost to the Alliance. Great card for the Omni. The match that really grabbed my attention was Steamboat v Undertaker. Also excited for the return of Liger.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter – News and Rumors The episodes from the UWF's second taping are airing as of this writing and there are a couple of interesting developments worth noting. First is the appearance of Charles Wright, who had recently been competing on WCW television as Kama. We can confirm that Mr Wright is still under WCW contract but has been sent down to Florida as part of an agreement reached with UWF officials. The main reason for this excursion seems to be that WCW's booker had determined that the Kama character had taken too many high profile loses and needed time away. While we've yet to determine exactly how long Mr Wright will be in Florida, reports are suggesting he could remain in the newly launched promotion into next year. Secondly, it appears there has been a mix up in production with the video that promoted Troy "Dream Machine" Graham's arrival that aired last week was in fact supposed to air on this week's episode with Graham making his on-air debut on next week's episode. While such mistakes can be forgiven given how young this iteration of the UWF is, we'll be looking to see how Mr Abrams and company address it and how they'll improve going forward.

I always like this between card posts where we can hear what the experts think of what the UWF (Japan) is doing.

UWF Fury Hour #7 Taped on August 15th at Studio 12 at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. Airing on syndication throughout the United States. Commissioner: Bruno Sammartino Commentary: Craig DeGeorge & Steve DeTuth Ring Announcer/Ringside Interviews: Boni Blackstone Match #1 Jimmy Jannety vs Papa Shango w/King Curtis The studio is eerily silent as Curtis leads Papa Shango to the ring. Standing 6'6, barrel chested with his face painted as a skull, wearing a top hat and carrying a skull with smoke rising from its eye sockets, you can't deny the mad makes quite the sight. As for the match, it's nothing pretty as Shango dominates with a series of power moves before finishing Jannety off with a Samoan Drop. UWF Commissioner Bruno Sammartino gives us a special announcement from his office where he says that in three weeks time on the landmark tenth episode of UWF Fury Hour, we will see a unique, first of its kind match. This match which he calls the Knock Down, Drag Out will be the biggest match in the UWF yet and the winner will be given the honor of being the first ever UWF North American Champion. Match #2 The Desperados (Black Bart & Dirty Don) w/Deadeye Dick vs The Lords of Darkness The mysterious masked duo manage a few cheap shots but the bulk of the match belongs to the outlaws who've really won the hearts of the Orlando faithful with their comedic antics. Victory comes via a double flapjack but the most entertaining part of the segment comes from Alberto Madril, Attorney at Law who spends the whole match talking over the commentators listing all the rules, regulations and laws at the city, state and even federal levels he insists the Desperados have broken. He just doesn't have the proof with him at the moment but he'll bring it....soon. Also of note is that the clown from last week returned, with the audience at home learning from commentary his name is apparently Doink. Doink spends his time making balloon animals for the live audience. He offers one to Madril who threatens to sue if he comes any closer. As the Desperados are leaving, Dick wonders over to Doink and seems curious about what he's doing. Doink laughs and quickly makes another balloon animal which turns out to be a horse which he gives to Dick. Dick is delighted and rushes to show his new gift to his fellow outlaws. The Power Twins join Boni Blackstone to give a short and to the point promo. They want the Bruise Brothers in the ring and they want to tear Paul Ellering limb from limb! Match #3 Ranger Ross vs Russian Assassin #1 (Angel of Death) The massive Russian keeps Ross on the back foot using his size and strength managing to score a number of nearfalls. Ross fights through it and manages to catch his opponent with the "Combat Kick" seemingly out of nowhere. No sooner has the ref counted three than Vladimir Koloff and the other Assassin Storm the ring and begin putting the boots to Ross. This brings out the Patriots triggering a proper pier six brawl which security is struggling to contain as we head to commercial. News from the Wrestling Universe: This week's edition focuses on WCW's recent Clash of the Champions, putting special focus on the controversy surrounding the WCW tag titles which will be resolved at an upcoming event airing live from the Omni in Atlanta. The Beverly Brothers are arrogantly strutting around the ring when "Welcome to my Nightmare" by Alice Cooper starts playing, heralding the arrival of their opponents, Dnny Davis & Ken Wayne...The Nightmares! Main Event The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) vs The Beverly Brothers (Beau & Blake) To begrudginigly give the Beverly's some credit, they shake off the surprise pretty quickly and we get a very competitive TV main event. The match is just starting to get into high gear when the bell rings and Boni Blackstone announces that as we're approaching the end of TV time, this bout is being declared a draw. The Nightmares offer the Beverly's a handshake which the brothers somehow look offended by.

No better place than a live special from the Omni to decide who the tag champs are. Made even more special by putting them in a steel cage.

Brother Broda brings in backup and now the sides are even against the Dundees. Real excited for the best of 7 series. Seems the Sterlings aren't Ken to share the stage with another brother tag team.
