UWF Fury Hour: Episode 11

UWF Fury Hour Episode 11, 17th December 1990


Colonel DeBeers is a racist and bigot. And proud. He'll be facing a 'mystery opponent' tonight!


Herb alone welcomes us to a "powerful" episode.


There is a new commentator alongside Bruno now? Boo!

Ivan Koloff vs Matt Stars?
Yawn.

Winner = Ivan Koloff via top rope clothesline

Herb berates Ivan for using a chain to win the match, even though he didn't use a chain at all.


'Dr. Death' Steve Williams is angry at Paul Orndorff... and people that work 9 to 5? Herb suggest they "could meet" in New York. What a tease...


Don Muraco vs The Intern

New commentator dude suggests that if The Intern were to win, he can change his name to The Professional. I suggest that if The Intern were to win, I would be a flying monkey's uncle.

Winner = Don Muraco via piledriver

So Herb's new role seems to be interviewing the wrestlers after the matches. He's bad at this as well.


Don Muraco cuts a promo backstage, saying he heard what Greg Valentine said. I didn't. Y'all keep talking about Greg Valentine, but he's yet to actually appear on UWF television.


'Killer Bee' B. Brian Blair vs Riki Ataki
Blair is still crying about what happened to Honey. She got headbutted 6 weeks ago and still hasn't recovered. So Riki Ataki figures this dude must be a total wimp and beats his ass! New commentator dude is impressed with Bruno's "scouting report"; he's watched 10 weeks of this nonsense, he knows what's up. New commentator dude also thinks B. Brian Blair uses a "modified Boston Crab" and I just want Bret Hart to come in and give everyone a sharpshooter, but I also don't want him to associate with these morons. 'Cowboy' Bob Orton comes down and gets beaten up.

Winner = 'Killer Bee' B. Brian Blair via Not a Boston Crab

John Tolos whips Blair with his belt so Captain Lou Albano makes the save with Honey's stinger to scare the bad guys away.


Captain Lou's Corner
Today's guest is 'Wild Thing' Steve Ray. He might be drunk. Albano calls him stupid in various ways - what a way to get a good guy over...


Bruno and Herb are at The Box Office to announce some matches for their New York shows, including David Sammartino vs Larry Zybysko and Don Muraco vs Greg 'the Hammer' Valentine. Bruno isn't sure David can win, but knows he will try his best. Herb promises another 7 matches to be signed. I would hope so.


Ask The Wrestlers

Fittingly, Ivan Koloff will instead answer this by bad-mouthing Americans for ruining Nikita's life. Glad you could have your serious personal questions answered so thoughtfully.


'Wild Thing' Steve Ray vs The Blue Knight
'Wild Thing' again steals a child, but ditches the kid once he sees a pretty lady to flirt with.


Winner = 'Wild Thing' Steve Ray via piledriver

'The Golden Greek' John Tolos is shilling a limo or something?


Colonel DeBeers vs Louie Spicolli
Spicolli was the surprise? Even Bruno is super disappointed.

Winner = Colonel DeBeers via State of Emergency? What kind of name for a finishing move is that?

Our buddy the black referee attacks Colonel DeBeers. Some other big black dude comes out and beats up DeBeers as well.


And that's it?

Thoughts:

  • So... like, was the black referee dude just setting up DeBeers for a beatdown?
  • Ask The Wrestlers is fast becoming my favourite segment.
