Albano talking to Orton like he's a rookie is funny. "I know all about your father, but tell me about you." This segment is good, clean fun, with Albano dropping one silly witticism after another. Orton takes a shot at Captain Lou's body, which makes Lou take his shirt off and strut his stuff. Orton almost loses it. This is a must-see!

Albano is a big UWF fan. Albano does most of the talking for Orton. He’s more interactive in this than he was with Ivan Koloff. Albano just walks out on Orton at the end. At least this gave Bob the chance to talk. Oh, Lou is back to close things out.

I would have expected just a bit more heat between these two given their past, but they act like a couple of old pals who were having a few drinks at the Penta Hotel bar and decided to come upstairs and do an interview segment just for the hell of it. Orton doesn't even try to keep a straight face while reacting to Albano's antics, and thank heaven we were spared a head-to-toe shot of Capper's fat in all its glory.

 

In the midst of all the hilarity, Ace actually cuts a nice promo on the likes of Nikita, Orndorff, and Blair, none of whom he was ever programmed with in the UWF to the best of my knowledge. Orndorff/Orton would seem to be a natural feud given their WWF history, but Abrams put Orndorff with Doc instead.

 

I thought it was comical that Albano namedropped Barry O as if he was the one with the big-time career. You can't tell me that wasn't meant to get a laugh from big brother Bob.

 

By the way, Albano actually wrestled and played football at Tennessee, though I seriously doubt that he was an All-American in either sport. In his book, The Wit and Wisdom of Captain Lou, Capper admits to being kicked out of school due to a barfight. Yes, most of the book is kayfabe, but this is the kind of thing that it would make no sense to lie about.
