PeteF3 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Tremendous moves, incredible action, great near falls. Doc shoves a newsletter in Meltzer's mouth afterward to really drive the point home for the 3% of the audience who gets it and baffle everyone else.

soup23 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I was fine with this as a squash until the end with the newsletter which was stupid as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 In 1991 Abrams was convinced (incorrectly) that Steve "Wild Thing" Ray was sleeping with his wife so he paid Steve Williams to break his nose. On some level Vince's cycle of steroid induced paranoid delusions seem to balance out his cocaine induced paranoid delusions. The charm of Abrams UWF was that he was working with just half that cocktail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Bruno’s chuckles when he refers to opponent as Davey Meltzer. You learn something as I didn’t notice that was a newsletter being stuck in his mouth at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToBionic Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 They didn't show it but he also dumped dirt all over him too. They cut right as he's reaching into the bag for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Let me guess: Herb Abrams was NOT a fan of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter On a more serious note, Bruno's miles better on commentary here than he was at any point during the eighties for Vince. Granted, that was probably because Abrams knew almost nothing about wrestling by comparison, but Bruno's still more relaxed and calls the match like he actually gives a damn about Doc. The only problem I have is that he didn't give the Oklahoma Stampede its right name, but he was never the type to give gimmick names to holds, so I can see why calling a powerslam by any other name might not have occurred to him. My favorite Abrams quote: "Steve's trying to send a message to Dr. Death!" I actually remember this promotion as it existed in real time, so I'm curious to know how it holds up twenty-five years later. So far, so good (at least by Abrams' low standards).

drew wardlaw Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hahah ooookay. The name was fine enough but the newsletter at the end? Come on now. I did really enjoy Bruno though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Take that Meltzer! That'll show you who not to trash! Seriously, was this necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
