UWF: One Man's Trash (1991)

"Mr. Abrams? He's ready to see you now."

With a deep breath Herb Abrams stood, straightening out himself and his suit before walking forward and into the office of a man who at best could be described as intimidating. With a fortune made from being the living definition of a vicious businessman and a fitting motto adding onto his overall persona, Herb had to agree with calling this man intimidating.

As Herb closed the doors behind him his worries only got worse, the office filled with a sound he was very familiar with. The closing minutes of his weekly wrestling program, Fury Hour, playing on a television behind the desk. A man in a chair facing said television, not even registering Herb's entrance.

"U! W! F! The Universal Wrestling Federation! The Ultimate in Sports Entertainment!"

After that it was silent, Herb standing rigid at the door as contemplated what to do in the midst of all this sudden tension. Should he sit down? Wait to be invited to sit? Should he move at all? Maybe he should-

"Sports entertainment. That's Vince McMahon's little word isn't it...Mr. Abrams?"

-should just give this man a piece of his mind! Who did this guy think he was, acting just like everybody else, doubting him and his vision!

"Is this what you wanted me to come here for?! What, are you one of McMahon's cronies trying to scare me?! The bastard already has me in court for hiring Rude and Ferris, what more does he want!?"

"This isn't about what Vince McMahon wants Mr. Abrams. It's about what

I

want. Now, if you please, stop yelling and take a seat."

Herb stopped mid-yell, all anger following his worry out of his body as the man's calm response caught him off guard. Taking a moment to compose himself before sitting in front of the desk, Herb began wondering just what he was about to get into before the turning chair stopped his train of thought.

"Mr. Abrams allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Gordon Gekko, and I would like to offer you a deal."

One Man's Trash

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/xZ3vScL.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

</p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The moment he heard the door close behind the exiting Abrams, Gordon sank into his chair, his face showing the exhaustion he had built during the last two hours of negotiating with Herb. It wasn't as though Herb was a challenge to negotiate with, but more so that the man was so stupidly stubborn!</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

At first Herb was dead set on not selling the UWF at all, but as Gordon increased the amount he was offering, Herb became much more agreeable. That led to another problem however, as Herb wanted to maintain some position in the company, clearly not wanting to just let such a power go. After nearly an hour of the same argument with the man, Gordon grit his teeth and laid it out for the idiot.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

"You don't get it do you Herb? I know all about your legal issues regarding Vince McMahon. I know how it's causing bouncing checks you've been making to some of the talent because you've been spending every penny you've got on fighting Vince in court. You're in over your head Abrams, and we both know it. Take this deal for what it is, a chance to escape! Sell the entirety of the UWF to me and all of your problems become my problems, allowing you to leave to God knows where with your family. Otherwise it'll all come crashing down on you, including your more...illicit activities."</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He was much more happy to sell after that, even going so far as to sign a bonus clause that would prevent him from ever returning to the company in any capacity.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

With a sigh and a tired smile, Gordon sat back up in his chair, looking through some notes and details Herb's had given him on the company, from the roster and current storylines to future ideas like a UWF Pay-Per-View Herb was planning in the summer. Some were decent ideas that Gordon could work with, but otherwise were just plain insanity! </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A Midget World Championship. Seriously?!</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It was going to be a long night sorting through Herb's good ideas and ideas no doubt thought of during a coke binge...but Gordon didn't find himself minding too much.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After all, one man's trash, is another man's treasure.</div></div>

Looking forward to this -- despite their ability to put out literal **** shows, UWF had a lot, A LOT, of talent on that roster.

Bam Bam Bigelow - Putting him over the aging "Rock" is a great idea.

Ivan Koloff - Blair never really amounted to much, while Ivan could at least look good enough to take someone under his wing.

Paul Orndorff - I love me some "Mr. Wonderful".

Mini tournament

Remembering how well you were doing 1985 makes me pretty excited to see what you can do with the UWF in 91!

He then goes on to introduce the new UWF Championships, starting with the UWF World Tag Team and SportsChannel Television Championships, before announcing that the third title will be decided in an eight man tournament, starting tonight! All for the top prize in the Universal Wrestling Federation, the UWF World Heavyweight Championship!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Grade:</strong></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong> 50</strong></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/cuHLcUp.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>UWF WHC Quarterfinals</strong></span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/6MBlZyL.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong><strong> </strong><span>http://i.imgur.com/yTBMgV1.jpg</span></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Bam Bam Bigelow</strong> <strong>VS</strong> <strong>"Magnificent" Don Muraco</strong></p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The first match of 1991 for the UWF is anything but pretty, as Bam Bam Bigelow gives Don Muraco a fight, the big man from New Jersey hungry for his chance to become champion. Muraco isn't willing to just take the pain however, as he uses his veteran experience to survive the assault, each passing second only angering Bigelow more and more. Finally, Bam Bam snaps, charging at Muraco, taking the both of them to the outside with a clothseline! Instinct takes over thought from there, as both men quickly recover only to trade harsh blows with each other, ignoring the count of Billy Silverman, causing a double count out!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><strong>Winner:</strong></strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> Draw</strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> </strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><strong>Finish:</strong></strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> Double Count Out at 9:33</strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> </strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><strong>Grade:</strong></strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> 64</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">But even with the ringing of the bell echoing through the Pacific Sports Center, Bigelow and Muraco keep their fight going, causing UWF officials to run out, but nobody seems to be able to get between the two big men! "Folks this is one chaotic start to 1991," a shocked Craig DeGeorge exclaims, "but we're being told to head to commercial while officials try to at least get these two fighting in the back! Stay tuned however, because when we come back we'll have Captain Lou Albano on our weekly segment, the Captain's Corner with Cowboy Bob Orton Jr!"</div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Grade: 76</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/cuHLcUp.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/V3sRGGJ.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/X0jp70V.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/GQblzXt.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">It's the Captain's Corner and Lou Albano is fired up! With excitement in his voice Lou hypes the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, "What's good about a tournament like this, is that it breeds the spirit of competition! Which in turn means better matches, and better wrestlers! Something my guest today knows all about, so please welcome "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr! It's not Orton who starts talking though, but rather his manager, "The Golden Greek" John Tolos. Talking however, is the wrong word, as Tolos shouts loudly, telling Lou that Orndorff better hope Lou is right, because Paul is going to need to better to beat the best wrestler in the UWF, Bob Orton Jr! </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Orton gives his own words, thankfully in quieter voice, as he talks about knowing Paul Orndorff for a long time, and how during that time he's never once seen a hint of Paul Orndorff being a better wrestler than him, and he'll prove it as he go forward to being the UWF World Heavyweight Champion! With that Tolos brings the segment to an end, "Tonight the world is gonna learn two things! The first being that manager is, and always will be spelled T-O-L-O-S, and that soon enough, champion will be spelled O-R-T-O-N!"</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 63</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/cuHLcUp.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">UWF WHC Quarterfinals</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/ymzU55R.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/4TCtKGh.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>"The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff VS "Killer Bee" B.

Brian Blair, right out of the gate, the "Killer Bee" having become a fan favorite over his time in the UWF. With his usual quick pace Blair takes the fight to Koloff, landing move after move in an attempt to wear down his opponent. But Ivan lives up to his nickname, as he catches Brian during a Running Crossbody attempt and turns it into a Bearhug! Seconds pass and bit by bit Blair's energy is fading, but Koloff has other plans for him, as he ends the Bearhug and sends Brian running to the ropes!

UWF is such a guilty pleasure for me. Will definitely be following even if I don't comment much early on as I'm working on other mods. Can't wait to see how you enjoy it.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, can I use that banner you made for nGo?</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Also, awesome that used Gecko as your user character! Glad someone opted for him. Proves I didn't add him in vein.</p>

Steve appears to have a bone to pick with Gekko, as he grabs Gordon's mic from his hands, loudly demanding to know why he wasn't on Fury Hour last week, explaining to Gekko that, "Last week was the beginning of 1991, the year of "Dr. Death", but instead of featuring the most dominant force in the UWF, you showed fat losers far past their prime!

He's big and powerful, but that's all he is. As far as Gordon is concerned Williams is just another big man in a crowd of big men...but he can change that. If Williams wants to be showcased, he needs to prove he deserves it, and what better way to do that then by becoming the first ever UWF World Heavyweight Champion? With that the Owner exits the ring, leaving a rather determined looking "Dr. Death" in the ring as DeGeorge leads us to commercial.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade:75</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">UWF WHC Semi-Finals</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/QLYjqIy.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">vs</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/SzJcWBC.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff VS "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff</strong></p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">With the New Year Nightmare event just days away, one would think these two would wrestle cautiously so as to stay as fit as possible for the Finals, but what followed instead was a brawl fit for a bar! Ivan's skill in brawling shined here, but Paul impressed overall as he kept up with the vicious veteran pound for pound. In the end it was Orndorff with the victory, breaking out a surprise Dropkick to catch Ivan off guard, following it up with the famous Spike Piledriver!</div></div></div></div><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Paul Orndorff</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 12:20</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 59</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/aCuxF4Q.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/KuFzi6Y.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">It's an impromptu Captain's Corner, as Colonel DeBeers interrupts Lou while he hypes his show and guest for later tonight, "Magnificent" Don Muraco! But DeBeers waves off Lou and his protests, saying that there's more important matters to worry about, like the absurdity of that thug King Parsons being in the WHC Tournament, and not a warrior like DeBeers! He tells Lou that he's let UWF management allow Parsons and his ilk to run wild long enough, it's time for him to take action like a man!</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Grade: 58</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qMgotHc.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/jJrcvd3.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The crowd cheers loudly at this one, as fan favorites Sunny Beach and Steve "Wild Thing" Ray run down to the ring with a mic in Ray's hand. Steve addresses the crowd as it turns out that Gordon originally opened the show to talk about the UWF World Tag Team titles, but since he was interrupted by Williams he decided to leave it to Sunny and Steve instead!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/q9gI7rv.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/j7PNWyZ.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Steve doesn't get to continue however, as a rather flamboyant duo enters the ring behind Steve and Sunny, DeGeorge introducing as the Hotbodies, Scotty and Johnny, speculating that they're probably out to get ready for their match! They do more than prepare however, as they get into an argument with Steve and Sunny, saying that the UWF should've let a real team like them deliver such high profile news, not two beach bums! Surprisingly, Ray is anything but angry, instead smiling at the Hotbodies before telling them Gordon's announcement, "In order to make things a bit different, Mr. Gekko has decided to have the first ever UWF World Tag Team Champions crowned on January 18th at the New Year Nightmare event!"</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> "But Bodies, here's some good news and bad news about that.

But hey, for a "real team" like you two...winning shouldn't be that hard right?" With a pair of winks to their new rivals the team of Wet 'n' Wild exit the ring, leaving a shocked Johnny and Scotty in the ring as they realize what they're in for this Friday!</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 40</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/q9gI7rv.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/j7PNWyZ.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">vs</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/oI09osy.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/zzXHgSw.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Hotbodies VS The Batten Twins</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The shock of the announcement from Wet 'n' Wild certainly left its effect on the Hotbodies as they were left at the mercy of the Batten Twins for the start of the match. Being one of the only teams left out from the tag team title four way, Brad and Bart fight with chips on their shoulders, but said chips become cracks once Scotty and Johnny regain their bearings, catching the Batten's off guard. With angry motivation the Hotbodies take back the match under their control before taking it all the way home after a Hotbody Hangover (Ace Crusher) from Johnny Hotbody on Brad Batten!</div></div></div></div><p> </p><p> <strong>Winners: The Hotbodies</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 8:45</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 32</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/aCuxF4Q.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/5AjO1F8.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Lou is a much happier man in this Captain's Corner as he speaks to an old friend and former client in Don Muraco about last week's draw with Bam Bam Bigelow. Before that happens however, Don asks Lou and all of the UWF to no longer address him as "Magnificent" Don Muraco...but instead to address him for who he really is. Don "The Rock" Muraco! After Lou agrees Don talks, saying that Bam Bam may be big, but he's not as formidable as "The Rock!"</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/VFnmy79.jpg</span><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> But Bam Bam immediately puts that to the test as he suddenly blindsides Muraco, sending him straight to the ground for Bigelow to beat on! Lou quickly gets some help from the UWF staff, but it takes nearly ten men to get Bam Bam off! As they pull him away from the set, Bigelow bellows, telling Muraco he'll see him at the Nightmare!</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 75</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/qweRjhK.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/ityDaFh.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">vs</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/ADSckuQ.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>"Dr. Death" Steve Williams VS Iceman King Parsons</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">IKP isn't a small man, but that isn't saying much when compared to a man as bulky as "Dr. Death", who uses that size advantage pretty well as he keeps Parsons under his control. But the Iceman is a seasoned fighter and he shows it as he turns a whip into the ropes into momentum for him to land a Hip Attack to the face of "Dr. Death", only to run back to the ropes to land a second Hip, the force knocking Williams back into the referee! Parsons is lost in his fire as he ignores the fall of the ref, running back to the ropes for a final bunch of momentum, but takes a stiff Double Axe Handle to the back! At first the camera focuses on the fallen Parsons, but quickly looks toward the ring floor, showing the attacker as Col. DeBeers, the villain making good on his words from earlier!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a proud smile on his face, DeBeers ignores a jeering crowd behind him, keeping his focus on the rising Steve Williams, laughing as he sees the anger in the eyes of "Dr. Death." With authority Williams brings Parsons to his feet, only to lift him higher before bringing him crashing back down with a Doctor Bomb (Gutwrench Sitout Powerbomb), just in time for a slightly dazed Billy Silverman to count the pin! DeGeorge and Sammartino aren't happy at this kind of ending, but both men end up agreeing that it's going to be an interesting night at the New Year Nightmare thanks to this.</div></div></div><p> <strong>Winner: Steve Williams</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 12:37 after Interference by Col.

January 18th 1991: UWF New Year Nightmare

UWF WHC Finals

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs "Dr. Death" Steve Williams

Comments: Steve Williams just has a lot more to offer the world and he's one of my favorites ever. However, I could see going either way. Orndorff has more star quality.

Don "The Rock" Muraco vs Bam Bam Bigelow

Comments: Have to go Bam Bam. He's a top contender.

UWF World Tag Team Championship

Four Way Tag Team Match

Wet 'n' Wild vs The Power Twins vs The Youngbloods vs The Hotbodies

Comments: I like this team as a fun team. It's interesting to me that they never did anything together outside of UWF. I could see you going with The Youngbloods or the Power Twins though.

Iceman King Parsons vs Colonel DeBeers

Comments: Parsons winning makes more sense, but I think DeBeers has more use to you if he wins. Once he loses it's over.

Debut Match

Chief Jay Strongbow Jr. vs ??? w/"The Golden Greek" John Tolos

Comments: Strongbow Jr is a scab and Tolos has some managing chops.

Which match will have the highest grade? The lowest?

Highest grade will be the main event, lowest grade will be the tag team match.

John Tolos has kept quiet about his new talent, only giving a hint in saying that it's a young gun totally new to the UWF. Who is it?

I have no idea! Maybe Ken Shamrock?

Overall Comments:

Like I said, big fan of the UWF and I'm glad you're doing this diary. You have basically a clean slate in terms of the readers as most people are not familiar with what the UWF put out.

After some quick hyping of the card the UWF Owner gets to the point, announcing that on the next UWF Fury Hour there will be another championship crowning, as 15 men will compete in a battle royal to decide the first ever UWF SportsChannel Television Champion!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/KDUOejZ.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/5PbSTyA.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/U304qaw.jpg</span><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> But that's as far as Gordon gets with talking about the title, as he's interrupted by a rather smug looking John Tolos, two strangers entering the ring behind him as he begins to talk. Tolos tells Gekko that he might as well scrap the whole battle royal and just hand the title over to his newest additions to the Golden Greek's Stable, the lovely power couple of Steve Austin and Jeannie Clark! </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Gekko takes a moment to look over Steve before nodding slowly, telling Tolos that he wants to see Mr. Austin live up his hype tonight before he makes any bets for Fury Hour. Those words seem to strike a nerve as Gekko gets Austin's response, the new debut telling Gekko that he better remember those words, because it'll be nobodies' fault but his own when he feels regret not being one of the first people to believe in Steve Austin during his ascension to greatness!</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 55</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/dBjjaxt.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/VajtE6w.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/5PbSTyA.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/qDSq6w6.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/WzbjMne.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Chief Jay Strongbow Jr. VS Steve Austin w/John Tolos and Jeannie Clark</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">For once it seemed that a loudmouth was able to back it up in the ring as Steve Austin gave himself a good showing against the young Chief. Every time his opponent tried to build himself back up, Austin had a way to keep him down, adding insult to injury with taunts after every counter. It was one final counter that ended it all for Strongbow however, as a run towards Austin turned into a lift and then drop neck first onto the top rope! On commentary Craig and Bruno were even wondering if that was legal, but a three count by referee Jesse Hernandez answered that question, a happy Tolos quickly celebrating in the ring with his new pair.</div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Steve Austin</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 7:10</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 33</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/dBjjaxt.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/SJyFHme.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/B1nmRrp.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">It's a live edition of the Captain's Corner as Captain Lou gets himself a special live set in the ring, smiling wide in the middle of it with his latest guest, Kevin Von Erich! Lou introduces Kevin to the crowd before informing them that tonight he isn't just a guest, but one of the newest additions to the UWF! Kevin thanks Lou and the fans for such a welcome and goes on to talk about his excitement to be competing in such a place when he's interrupted.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/9dBleqa.jpg</span><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Barreling his way down to the set with a mic in hand, Williams demands to know why Captain Lou is giving time to this has been instead of the UWF's biggest star! Kevin of course takes exception to that and starts arguing with Steve, but Lou acts fast, not wanting to lose his nice set, telling Williams that it was a scheduling mistake, and that Williams has his own interview lined up later tonight! Satisfied somewhat, "Dr. Death" agrees to that and makes his way to the back, but not before exchanging glares with Kevin.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 63</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:12px;">UWF World Tag Team Championships</span></span></strong></p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/50hCdJg.jpg</span></p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/Cl3LYkc.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/CpZdrru.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/k62ryTp.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/MXD7Tqy.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/N9cIJyy.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/4F62YVd.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/DPHN3dU.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/T6KU5Dh.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>The Power Twins VS The Youngbloods VS The Hotbodies vs Wet 'n' Wild</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The preview for this match advertised chaos, and it was chaos that we got as what started as good guys against bad guys ended with a mentality of every team for themselves! The battle lines were at first as Power Twins/Hotbodies vs the Youngbloods/Wild 'n' Wild, but an accidental elbow from Scotty Hotbody to Larry Power ended the first alliance, while a series of pinfall interruptions by both the Youngbloods and Wet 'n' Wild ended the second! </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The biggest end of them all came in a line of events however, with Johnny Hotbody first landing a Too Hot (Ace Crusher) on Chris Youngblood, only to get thrown out the ring by Larry Power before he could capitalize! With the ball in his court Larry made his way to the fallen Chris, but from out of nowhere came Sunny and Steve with a Double Dropkick that sends the big man down! With Mark Youngblood and David Power fighting outside Sunny runs interference on Scotty Hotbody, giving Steve the time to get the victory with a pin on Larry Power!</div></div></div></div><p> </p><p> <strong>Winners and NEW UWF World Tag Team Champions: Wet 'n' Wild</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 10:12</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 36</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/7rRWjAP.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/yaUZho3.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">It's another session of the Captain's Corner, with Lou's guest this time being Iceman King Parsons! Lou asks how he's feeling finally getting his chance to tussle with the Colonel, with Parsons telling Lou that he's on fire baby! In fact, his fire is burning so bright he doesn't want to wait any longer, and begins to call out DeBeers!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/idsbFAl.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Fh0nozl.jpg</span><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Out the wretched Colonel comes, but he isn't alone as a young man dressed in his own camo gear follows right behind him to the set. With a smug smile DeBeers tells Lou and Parsons that he's sorry to disappoint but since he never agreed to a match with the dog Lou calls a guest, he doesn't have to dirty his hands with putting down Parsons tonight! However just because he wants to see him face down in the dirt like he belongs, he's decide to let his Corporal, Michael Kirchner make an example of Parsons to all and any who stand in the way of his campaign to reveal the true menace of America!</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 62</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/yaUZho3.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/Fh0nozl.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>Iceman King Parsons VS Corporal Kirchner</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The Colonel joins Bruno and DeGeorge for commentary in this match, and while it's something neither man is happy about, they take the time to ask him who exactly is Kirchner? As his man starts the match with Parsons in his control DeBeers explains how Michael Kirchner was a total mercenary for hire, with just a rank to his name. However that was before he met DeBeers, before he was given a true purpose for the training he is now putting to use on Parsons! Something that is evident to all three men on commentary as Kirchner brings an impressive fight to the veteran brawler.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> But the Iceman is a tough opponent for a good reason as the seconds of pain only serve to get him more and more riled up to the happiness of the crowd! With the chants of "Iceman" all echoing around him, IKP beings to fight back, turning the match into a slugfest! Pound for pound he matches Kirchner only to begin overtaking him with a flurry of fists! One punch! Two punch! Three punch! Backup for the windup...and fou-DEBEERS DOESN'T ALLOW IT AS HE SMASHES THE TIMEKEEPER'S BELL IN IKP'S FACE! From their table Bruno and Craig begin to call for help, berating the now exiting Colonel for his actions as he and a dazed Kirchner pass by medical officials, a smirk on his face.</div></div></div></div><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Iceman King Parsons</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: DQ at 9:33 after interference by Col.

Furiously Williams demands to know who else is going to be on set, only for Lou to point behind him.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/zZgfyPq.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">For a few seconds the two rivals engage in a tense stare down, but silence becomes shouting as Williams addresses his opponent, asking why "Mr. Wonderful" is so quiet all of a sudden. All he gets in response though is a calm Paul Orndorff telling him that he can be angry all he wants, Paul's been in this situation enough times to know when to talk and when to walk. So he hopes that "Dr. Death" hasn't been wasting his energy being angry all day, because Orndorff is planning on doing both in the ring to the best of his ability, intent on making sure the history books refer to the first ever UWF World Heavyweight Champion as nothing more, nothing less, than Wonderful.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 80</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kR8fuQT.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/4FkAnSs.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>Bam Bam Bigelow VS Don "The Rock" Muraco</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">For a match like this there doesn't have to be much more hype than the promise that it features two big men in a brawl. Add on top of that the animosity between Muraco and Bigelow and things get kicked up to an even higher notch, something both men proved tonight. Bigelow may be younger but Muraco wasn't a slouch tonight, seeming five years younger as he fights to settle the score with Bam Bam. </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In the end it's Bam Bam's unique agility that gives him the victory in this contest, the big man from New Jersey showcasing that amazing speed that got him to the UWF in the first place as he starts to perform move after move at an impressive rate. Muraco's still got his power in his current age, but he's never had the speed that Bigelow does, young or old, leading to a finale by Bam Bam with a Diving Headbutt off the top rope!</div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Bam Bam Bigelow</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 12:33</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 66</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">With the bell ringing and the referee checking on Muraco, Bam Bam begins to make his way to the back, only to stop just as he gets to the doorway. Taking a second to look over his shoulder, Bigelow nods his head as he makes a decision and walks back to the ring. Ignoring the orders of referee Billy Silverman to go back, Bigelow reaches underneath the ring, pulling out a wooden table and sliding it into the ring. Rolling inside himself, Bam Bam sets up both the table and Muraco on top of it before climbing to the top of the turnbuckle, fists to the sky before leaping onto Muraco and through the table! With the crowd stunned into silence Bigelow stands over the fallen Don, arms folded as he watches officials</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> hit the ring.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 77</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">As Muraco gets helped to the back the lights begin to dim, the Pacific Sports Center getting increasingly darker before suddenly plunging into pitch black! Seconds pass in the dark with nothing happening, but just as the audience begins to get restless a voice breaks through!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> "The UWF hopes that tonight is the start of a path to even brighter lights than those of Los Angeles...ironic considering that the City of Angels, filled with people placing their hopes for fame...is nothing more but a cesspool of sin due to what those same people will do sate their hunger for those bright lights. The UWF will follow in that corruption, with tonight not being the start of the path to brighter lights, but instead to much darker days led by a March of Shadows."</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: ???</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/zZgfyPq.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/P1ncOM9.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/dRmRaVg.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">As the lights return Bruno and Craig attempt to make sense of what just happened, but they don't get much of a chance as Paul Orndorff's music hits, the crowd cheering hard for the sound of MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This", only to spike in volume as "Mr. Wonderful" appears! But once he settles in the ring another entrance begins, but instead of Steve Williams it's Gordon Gekko, Craig mentioning that he must be coming to watch the match in person!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> For a moment Paul and Gekko exchange a look, but the cheers of the crowd and the music of Steve Williams tear Orndorff's gaze away from the boss and to the emerging form of "Dr. Death" as he makes his way down. With their earlier stare down continuing inside the ring, Gordon's inner wrestling fan begins showing as he smiles at the tense sight, ready like everybody else for the main event.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 74</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:14px;">UWF World Heavyweight Championship</span></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:14px;"> UWF WHC Finals</span></span></strong></p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/n7eupQ8.jpg</span></p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/zZgfyPq.jpg</span> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">VS</span></strong> <span>http://i.imgur.com/dRmRaVg.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff VS "Dr. Death" Steve Williams</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Two of the UWF's very best put on a hell of a story in the main event of the New Year Nightmare, with two factors keeping the fans on the edge of their seats. The first being the amazing talent in both brawling and wrestling of "Dr. Death", and the second being the iron will and determination of "Mr. Wonderful." From the very start counter after counter came at Paul from the younger Williams, but no sign of surrender was given back as he kept getting back up.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> His infamous temper flaring up, Steve began forgoing his wrestling skills in favor for more hard hitting strikes, but all that kind of focus did was leave him open for a wonderful counter. Dodging a clothesline and quickly giving a surprise kick to the gut gave Paul all he needed to turn the tides as he slapped on his patented Piledriver, leading to a second just moments after the first! Dazed and snapped so suddenly from his momentum, Williams was perfect pickings for the technical dissection that followed, Paul doing all he could to keep Steve off his feet and from getting his fire back.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After a series of suplexes Paul was finally ready, lifting and placing Williams in position for a third and possibly final Piledriver, but just before the lift began Paul's focus was interrupted by a yelling Cowboy Bob Orton on the ring apron! Letting Steve down, Paul got himself right in Orton's face to yell right back, leading to referee Larry Sanders sending Orton to the back! Smiling at the decision, Paul turns his attention back to Williams, but runs right into a Big Boot by the recovered "Dr. Death!" Wasting no time the good Doctor picks up his latest patient high as he can before bringing him crashing down with a vicious Doctor Bomb! One isn't enough however as Steve takes a note from Paul and hits not only a second Bomb, but a third one as well, making damn sure that there's no kickout as he gets his victory, and the UWF World Heavyweight Championship!</div></div></div></div><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner and NEW UWF World Heavyweight Champion: "Dr. Death" Steve Williams</strong></p><p><strong> Finish: Pinfall at 20:34 after a distraction by Cowboy Bob Orton</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 56</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/dRmRaVg.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">If Williams knew how he won it didn't seem like he cared as he made a beeline straight for the title, climbing to the top turnbuckle and holding it high above his head. Right now nothing else mattered, not Orndorff, not Orton, not the announcers debating whether Williams was in on the distraction or not, not the intrigued look on the face of Gordon Gekko. Just him and the title that cemented him as the most dominant force in the Universal Wrestling Federation.</div></div></div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Grade: 90</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/kzcP77m.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Overall Grade: 66</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Sorry this has been ages late, unfortunately things got busy after one of my closest friends had a mental breakdown, leading to me spending time with them to help their recovery. This was then followed by school starting, as well as my new job and the training that's come with it so far. Thankfully I've found a sort of rhythm to my schedule lately, so I'm all set and ready to continue this dynasty.
