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.

Landel struts his stuff. Bundy smushes Embry. Austin finally puts down Dutch. Hennig and Armstrong put on a clinic. Wrights chisel gives IRS a bloody win. Twelve years of waiting pays off as Garvin finally claims the Southern title. TNT retain but all the attention goes to Sherri as she reveals her team....Tom Prichard & Eddie Gilbert! Gordy is quickly running out of patience with his Freebird brother.

Chicky FA'd and in Puerto Rico, Colon made sure he FO'd. Burke says he's got enough left in the tank to handle the Hangman. The Maveriks move on. Jackie is confident in her new man but Borne has his own sights on the 100k and that Cadillac. Dundee & Parsons are exactly the type of team to get a bye to the finals. R.I.P Superstar. Vinnie's moth gets him into trouble. In other news man falls in water and is surprised he gets wet. Demolition has every right to be confident but I wouldn't overlook Norton & Rampage. Perez is less than impressed with Cobra. Brown takes the fight to Kokina like nobody else.

UWF Fury Hour #6 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 The Vampire Warrior w/ Luna Vachon Warrior is extra aggressive tonight and really tears into Fire cat in the early going. That eventually creates an opening that allows Firecat to rally with his fast pace offense. Luna starts to get agitated and gets on the apron distracting both Firecat and the ref. VW uses this chance to retrieve the goblet he carries to the ring and take a large swig which he sprays into Firecats eyes leading to the "impaler" for the three. VTR- We arrive on a gorgeous Florida beach where the Beverly Brothers are relaxing in the sun and sipping brightly colored drinks. They've been treating themselves to well deserved vacation in the wake of their successful UWF debut but they're ready to return to the ring. They just hope that the powers that be can find them some worthy competition this time. Before the next match gets underway, a clown is seen going around ringside handing out candy to kids. Match #2 The Braves (Bobby Bold Eagle & Navajo Warrior) vs The Bruise Brothers (Ron & Don) w/"Precious" Paul Ellering Another one sided showcase for the twins with the Braves getting only minor offense. NW in particular shows spirit but ultimately falls to the previously seen double team move now called "Black n Bruised". Ellering is celebrating with his clients when The Power Twins storm the ring and the brawl is on as the two sets of twins start laying into each other. Security swarms to separate the four and a few of them got knock on their butts for the effort. VTR- highlight reel of the Dream Machine who makes his UWF debut next week. Match #3 Gemini Kid vs The Super Destroyer w/Skandar Akbar pure showcase for the well traveled masked man who takes the win with the Super-plex. VTR- Curtis Iaukea and The Missing Link are outside in the dead of night, litonly by the roaring fire in front of them. In his deep booming voice Iaukea says he's revealed in the pain Link has caused in the UWF so far but there's more to be done. He has searched from the streets of New York to the slums of Singapore for the fiercest warriors to join his dark army and next week he unleashes his next warrior of the damned. He throws something into the fire causing a large burst of smoke. The smoke clears to reveal a muscular black man with a white skull pattern painted on his face having joined them. Iaukea warns everyone to prepare for the horror of...Papa Shango! New from the Wrestling Universe: Joe Pedicino covers the other UWF's Battle Dimension event in Kobe and mentions they'll be hosting their U-Cosmos Grand Prix next month. Main Event "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant vs The Assassin (Tony Faulk) The notorious Assassin uses every dirty trick in his considerable arsenal but Valiant never stops dancing and eventually the song in his heart carries him to victory via the "Groovin Elbow".

Time for the Clash. Let's Go! Pillman retains in a photo finish. I'm betting Hase isn't done. Badd & Long were a pretty fun duo from what i've seen of them together. Shame it had to happen at Bagwell's expense. Smith takes a hell of a bump making Sid look extra dangerous. Looks like the Foundation had the tag titles in their grasp but Ventura decided a hit from a computer is a step too far over the line. Simmons gives Taker his first real fight but the Deadman can't be stopped. Dangerously and the Alliance may want to go back to the drawing board. Luger survives Jack only to get caught in an Abby jump scare. Tenryu gave his best shot but Sting is still the man in WCW.

So if i'm reading the bracket correct, Tribal Nation gets a but to the finals? Well they are gonna need time to recover from that beating the Boriquas gave them. The Boss man is back and DeBeers is about to experience some hard time! Warrior v Barbarian, Batten down the hatches!

The Fabulous Creebirds (great name btw) waste no time endearing themselves to the fans by coming to Broda & Royce's rescue against the Dundees.

Hennig had a relatively easy match against Smothers, let's see if Brad can give him a challenge. The Stud Stable pull off le switcheroo and put a beating on Garvin. The Bullet announces SMW's next big event, the Battle for Kentucky. 5 grand and a SMW title shot are certainly gonna have people tripping over themselves to get into that tournament. Good News, Dutch doesn't have to face Horner next week. Ba News, he's in there with Austin. Okay, Hayes is seriously not picking up in the pretty clear signals Gordy is sending out.

York adds another weapon to the Foundation's arsenal. With how quickly Taker's climbing the ranks, we may get the clash with Sting we never got irl.

Today's episode was largely meant to hype next week but it did a dang good job of it. Can't wait to see Royce and the Caveman get a hold of the Dundees. Kev's right, we've been letting the ladies sit idle for a while now. At least they can get some work in the great white north.

UWF Fury Hour #5 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 Boogie Woogie Brown vs "Bad Man" Barry Horowitz Horowitz is jawing at the crowd, pausing only to literally pat himself on the back (keen eye fans will notice there's a hand print on his vest where his hand lands) when George Clinton's"Atomic Dog" comes over the pa system. Out from the curtain comes a 6'1 380 lb man who clearly having a blast dancing to the beat. His good time is infections as many in the audience join in as he dances around the ring. His joyful attitude nearly costs him as Horowitz attacks him as he's getting in the ring and controls the first6 couple minutes of the match. But Horowitz' animosity with the crowd allows Brown to regroup and show off not only his brawling skills but decent mobility for a man his size before taking the win with a running splash. Brown celebrates his first UWF by dancing with the fans. VTR- The camera creeps through what appears to be a dimly lit boiler room. Strange symbols have been drawn on the wall with a mysterious red substance. Suddenly The Vampire Warrior & Luna Vachon appear from....somewhere. Luna is pissed at the "fluke" win Firecat achieved last week. She demands a rematch next week so VW can "show these ignorant mortals just how many ways there are to skin a cat". Match #2 The Morton Brothers (Todd & Shane) vs The Colossal Kongs (Awesome Kong & Krusher Kong) w/Skandar Akbar Another one-sided shellacking as the Kongs completely overwhelm the Morton's before finishing Todd off with the newly christened "Monster Mash". After the bell, Akbar grabs the house mic and promises that next week, he will introduce the newest member of Devastation Inc. "The People's Court" themes heralds the entrance of Armando Guerrero and his ever embattled lawyer, Alberto Madril, Attorney at Law. As expected Guerrero goes on a tirade about their loss last week to The Desperados demanding UWF Commissioner Bruno Sammartino come out to hear their complaints which the Commissioner does (albeit clearly reluctantly so). Sammartino: What is it now gentlemen? Madril: Your Honor, I hereby file a motion to have the results of last week's main event stricken from the record. Sammartino: On what grounds? Madril: As it is written in the UWF rulebook *he hands his briefcase to Guerrero and opens it to retrieve a large book with a piece of paper taped to it that has "UWF Rulebook" written on it* all UWf competitors are entitled to know the identity of their competition within 24 hours of their scheduled match. You sir, denied us that so we were under prepared for those hooligans you set on us. Now we would be well within our rights to demand your immediate resignation but since we're descent people we'll settle for having the result reversed. Sammartino: I thought you wanted it stricken from the record? Madril: That to! Sammartino: So you wish for me to reverse the decision which would make you the winners, then you want me to strike your victory from the record? Madril: *Dramtically points his finger at Sammartino and opens his mouth to respond before pausing and you can actually see the moment the full question lands* W, well your Honor... *He's interrupted by the excitement of the crowd as the Desperados inter the interview area* Bart: Now wait jus' a dadgum minute CO-missioner Sam-ar-teen-O. We done whooped these dadgum Mex-ee-cans fair 'n square. Madril: First of all, i'm going to need you to take about ten steps back before whatever that smell is makes us all pass out. Secondly, you only *ahem* won last week because I was distracted by your pet there started sniffing around my briefcase! Bart: Who you callin' a pet boy? Ol Deadeye Dick maybe don't see to good on accounta his eye, and sure he may be a bit touched in tha head from all that outlaw living he's done but he's still a dadgum grown man and a pretty tough rassler to boot. Madril: From the looks of him, the only thing *adopts an exaggerated southern accent* Ol' Deadeye Dick rassles against is the bottle and he loses every dadgum night. *The two groups start getting heated but Sammartino hurries to get between them* Sammartino: GENTLEMEN! This is the not the time for a brawl. Now Mr Madril, I appreciate you trying to make a case but I see two main flaws in your argument. One, *points to the book Madril's holding* that's clearly a phone book. *Madril looks like Sammartino just insulted his mother* Secondly, even if the where an official UWF rule book I assure you as Commissioner of the UWF i'm well versed on its rules and followed them as best I could in deciding your opponents. *Madril and Guerrero are both starting to get steamed* However you do raise one salient point. Madril: I do? Guerrero: He does? Black Bart & Dirty Don: He does? *Dick just stares in a vaguely curious fashion* Sammartino: He does. Namely that, as an *ahem* Attorney I can see how he'd be upset when someone began to go through his possessions. Deadeye Dick had no just cause to do so. Madril: So you're saying he's guilty? Sammartino: Yes I am. Madril: I WON! *Excitedly grabs Guerrero by the shoulders* I actually won a case Armando! YEEEEESSSSSS! Sammartino: And to the extent that I am the judge around this parts. I hereby sentence Deadeye Dick to the most fitting punishment I can think of. A singles match with Alberto Madril, Attorney at Law. Madril: Oh YEAH! How about that cowboy? That'll tech you toooo.....¿Y ahora qué? Sammartino: To take place right now. Can we get a referee please. *Bart & Don are tying to psyche up Dick who just looks happy at the idea. Guerrero looks pissed, Madril looks aghast and Sammartino looks like he needs a drink. Match#3 Deadeye Dick vs Alberto Madril, Attorney at Law Unfortunately for Madril it quickly becomes clear that for all his eccentricities, Dick is indeed a capable brawler. After a few minutes of Madril on the back foot Guerrero, already incensed by the earlier proceedings, gets on the apron in an attempt to preserve his companions dignity. However before he can do anything effective, Black Bart & Dirty Don run over and pull him off the apron and carry him to the back. As Dick is enjoying his partners antics, Madril grabs his briefcase and strikes Dick in the back of the head while the ref is observing the chaos outside. He turns just as Madril returns his briefcase to its previous place and makes the three count. New from the Wrestling Universe: Joe Pedicino recounts the results of the two day Phoenix Firestorm event recently put on by Pacific Coast Wrestling as well as runs down the card for WCW's upcoming Clash of the Champions. Main Event Ranger Ross & The Patriots (Fire breaker Chip & Todd Champion) vs Vladimir Koloff & The Russian Assassins This one is never truly under control, despite Bill Alfonso's best efforts. Eventually all 6 men are in the ring and Bill has no choice but to throw the match out and the show ends with a pier-six brawl still very much underway.
