Week 4 October 1991

 

Weekly Meeting:

 

 

{The above was the scene as Les and Mark turned up for the meeting, just before Herb they thought.}

 

Les: "Did he sleep here?"

 

Mark: "If he did, I doubt he was alone...remember and check each seat."

 

Les: "Oh yeah, two times at the dry cleaners last time we..."

 

Herb: "Ah, you're here. Sit...go on, they're safe."

 

Mark: "Herb, looks like you've been up all night mate. What's all this?"

 

Herb: "Notes, thoughts, scribbles...I had an agenda here somewhere. WHERE IS IT?"

 

Les: "Ha, Herb...a what?"

 

Herb: "They had one at ESPN. Shows, deals, money, assistance, AOB..."

 

Mark: "Herb, just start and I suppose we'll just grab a few sheets and..."

 

Herb: "Yeah, YEAH...great idea! I'll start, you guys stop me if you see anything interesting."

 

Les & Mark: "Canada?"

 

Herb: "Wow, don't even let me start then! Well, I've no idea what Paul is actually planning. That was the other thing about the ESPN meeting, the NWA were there."

 

Les: "So, you knew about Paul then?"

 

Herb: What? No! I knew about the election, errrr, the two of us and Steve Rickard. You know, runs the New Zealand territory and..."

 

Mark: "Never been to New Zealand...erm, I mean...ignore that Herb. Ignooooooooooooooooooore it!"

 

Herb: "...so, that was as much as...oh, oh, EUROPE..."

 

Les: "Uhu?"

 

Herb: "You remember I said the NWA want some sort of presence, never had it before?"

 

Mark: "No, but then you probably think you told us. Oh, Orndorff...wow!"

 

Herb: "Well, apparently there is a chance of it!"

 

Les: "Of what?"

 

Herb: "Of the NWA paying for a European venue or two, bit of a Tour! Apparently, GET THIS, there's a venue in France where the ring is in the water!"

 

Mark: "Yeah, you row out!"

 

Les: "Shut up! Anyway, the state of some of our guys...they'd drown out there."

 

Mark & Les: "Haaaaaaaaaahahahahaha...oh...oh..."

 

Herb: "What?"

 

Mark: "Norton, Garvin and Dynamite could be in a battle royal and...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahaha...they might go in..."

 

Les: "They could use Norton as a raft!"

 

Mark: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahaha, a bloody bloated fat raft! Oh, oh..."

 

Herb: "WHAT THE HELL are you two talking about?

 

Les: "Ah, you don't know. Well..."

 

Mark: "Oooh Pillman, good kid, oh wait he's only tied...with Adias and Borne."

 

Herb: "DAMNIT, what's going on?"

 

Les: "A few of the guys have either been drunk, on steroids or drugs during..."

 

Herb: "DURING...DU bloody RING! Fire them next time, no questions asked. Right, anyway, back to me starting off. A few promotions have been getting hostile, so maybe it wasn't all about Steve Keirn talking to people. First guy you fire, if in the World League, Keirn is back in. Then again, maybe Scotty Danger is right...no, he's...wait...no...okay, first guy you fire then Keirn is in the battle royal. Match...tag...battle royal...we had a battle royal...fans like a battle royal..."

 

Mark: "Oh yeah, fans Herb! The bloody fans, getting to select matches. Hang on, there's not much mail in amongst this lot."

 

Herb: "You mean NO MAIL, there's no mail amongst this lot. There's some NWA mail..."

 

Mark: "Well, Paul did have a lot of it."

 

Les: "He did, didn't he."

 

Mark: "A lot of it was from Canada too."

 

Herb: "SHUT UP! You know what, I was at some stupid award ceremony the other night...at least, I think I was. There were guys there, looked older than I remember, some looked younger and some I'm not even sure were born yet...hmmm, now I think of it..."

 

Mark: "Herb mate, get to the bloody point!!!"

 

Herb: "Right, RIGHT...the point...oh yeah. I decided to buy a wrestling magazine, I know I know...but, apparently the UWF holds the record for the fewest items of mail received by any promotion EVER!"

 

Mark: "Fine, good, bloody idiots. If they were so knowledgable, so amazing, they'd do some training and get in the ring. Reading their bloody dirt sheets, that f...AAAAAAAAARGH! He's never campaigned for me did he, probably too stupid to realise I was Black Tiger."

 

Les: "Mark, come on, we can't have two lunatics at the table."

 

Herb: "Thank you Les...err, wait...oh, OH, you know what else. These fans, they have these play by mail things. They create promotions, wrestlers and pretend to be them. Their mum's upstairs making their dinner and they're in the basement pretending to be Zack Starvage."

 

Les: "Oh, now this is interesting. This folder here Herb, the IWCCW one. You handed the keys to Jim Cornette. What about Kevin?"

 

Herb: "Yes, err Kevin wasn't looking himself so I said he could concentrate on the wrestling and maybe we'll see him in the new year. It all needed freshened up anyway."

 

Mark: "The girls, I didn't realise we still had anything to do with...what is it...the Ladies Major League Wrestling."

 

Herb: "No, no, it's sort of dropped off my...well, our..."

 

Les & Mark: "Aye, blame us."

 

Mark: "That party didn't help...I'M MISTER ELECTRICITY...bzzzzz...bzzzz...bloody disturbing."

 

Herb: "Ohhhhhhhhhh, I'm better give Howard a call."

 

Les: "Better him than Luna, that black eye of yours is bad enough."

 

Herb: "Right, enough! Any concerns that anyone has? Contracts...suggestions even?"

 

Mark: "Well, 2 Cold and Action Jackson looked good. They're not in the leagues, let's tag them up."

 

Les: "Baby Doll, you know she speaks Spanish."

 

Herb: "I did not know that, well aside from tequila."

 

Mark: "Right, very good. David looks like he's keen to get injured again, it feels like he has been feuding with Ivan since 1921, not just through 1991!"

 

Les: "Bruno appears to want to help him, try and push him in the right direction. Maybe some wins, some momentum, a title run or at least a move towards a title. Are we still unifying the Canadian belt?"

 

Mark: "This sheet right here says...WOAH, what?"

 

Herb: "Don't read that, don't even...I said I was just scribbling, noting a few thoughts out. But no, I think we'll be keeping it for now."

 

Les: "Right, okay, elephant in the room time. Andre?"

 

Mark: "Oh man, it's sad isn't it. I hope he gets a bit of revenge."

 

Les: "Who is teaming with Muraco and Perez?"

 

Herb: "Does it really matter? I'm not sure if we'll need to select someone for them, heck they can GO WITH TWO!"

 

Mark: "Right, final thing, a few of the guys are unhappy."

 

Herb: "Because?"

 

Les: "Not being used, stuff like that."

 

Herb: "WHO?"

 

Mark: "Doesn't matter, just thought I'd highlight it."

 

Herb: "Well...JOB THEM. Screw them, we've got ESPN, we're part of the NWA. Where will they get exposure like that? If they impress or improve then great, if they leave THEN FINE! Right, I think we'll call it a day here. I fully expect an announcement from Paul on Friday or Saturday. So, guys, look out those big winter jackets...you know, tiger!"

 

Mark: "Was that a Stu Hart impersonation? I wouldn't do that again if I was you!"

Rumble in the Apple

NWA Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Freebirds (Jimmy Garvin, Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy) w/"Mr. Electricity" Herb Abrams vs. The British Bruisers (Dynamite Kid & Johnny Smith) & Dave Finlay

Stipulation: If Dynamite Kid scores the pinfall, he gets five minutes in the ring with "Mr. Electricity", Herb Abrams.

 

*Not sure who the Freebirds are at this point. I'm most familiar with the Garvin, Hayes and Gordy trio, I'm assuming you're using them here.

 

Flag Match [America vs. France]: Lex Luger vs. Andre The Giant

Perhaps it was the need to impress, perhaps David felt safer, but this was a very different David Sammartino. Kendo, of course, is a legend in the UK and brought all of his qualities to this match. Indeed, Kendo seemed slightly consumed by the fact Bruno was at ringside...bowing to him pre-match and then gazing across a number of times during the match itself.</p><p> </p><p> The ladder added a new dimension to the match, with Bruno actually moving each ladder closer to the ring. That would be part of David's downfall, as Kendo was first to the ladder and would control the initial phase. This control included a kamikaze roll on to the ladder from the 44 year old Nagasaki. At this point, Kendo would leave the ring and just stand in front of Bruno and stare deep in to his eyes. Eventually, with Bruno looking very confused, David would take control and both men would brawl on the outside. There wasn't much actual in-ring action for a good while, both men eventually making their own ways back in.</p><p> </p><p> David would execute a couple of chops then quickly slam Kendo to the mat. With Bruno slapping the apron, David would collect a ladder and set it up. He began to climb, no movement from Kendo, and was almost at the top as Kendo got to his feet and just looked up at David. David stopped dead in his tracks, almost transfixed by Kendo, before slowly stepping down the ladder.</p><p> </p><p> Tony: "What is...this is one of the weirdest things I've seen in the UWF!"</p><p> </p><p> Herb: "You need to come out with me more Tony, but I certainly agree."</p><p> </p><p> Once down, David would leave the ring and was stopped by Bruno as David pushed Bruno off and walked to the back. Meanwhile, Kendo would climb the ladder and retrieve the title belt.] <strong>(D-)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>{An advert plays for UWF merchandise, with Ivan Koloff making the sales pitch.}</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s1320.photobucket.com/user/TsuMirren/media/UWF-merchandise_zpsvixxboxu.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u530/TsuMirren/UWF-merchandise_zpsvixxboxu.jpg</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> "You stupid Americans, you need to buy the Koloff shirts and c...wait, what is this...LARRY Zbyszko.

Dave Meltzer did call it a two star, living the life of a one star, but that was mainly due to the obvious state of two of the competitors. Finlay and Street both impressed, Street keeping it simple and Finlay ensuring the opponents went through some quick fire tags just to stay out of his way. Hayes, as always, had the fans in the palm of his hand and the masked man showed a few glimpses of quality. </p><p> </p><p> By the time Garvin and Dynamite locked up, both those men had done very little and were mostly slouched against the ringpost looking a bit bored. Dynamite soon slapped Garvin out of that funk, hitting a suplex then a diving headbutt that had the ring fill up with all six competitors. Order restored, Dynamite would tag out and notice that Missy was moving towards the ring...evidently to look at the masked man closer. Dynamite jumped down to the ringside area and ordered Missy back, something including the word "cow" was overheard.

Garvin went down and Dynamite slid out to go for a chair, just as Finlay came back in with the masked man. Finlay had the masked man in a full nelson as Dynamite wound up with the chair, cracking him one and Finlay ripped off the mask as the masked man slumped to the floor. Very few people saw who it was, indeed Hayes had scrambled in and covered him. Missy though, who was on her knees against the ring apron, obviously saw all from her low vantage point and turned to go straight after Rick Rude.

Some fairly standard work of Lex being clubbed round the ring followed, with only Andre's condition bringing any relief to Luger. Eventually Lex would get a quick chop in that caught Andre. A few punches followed and Andre was down to one knee. Sadly, The Power Twins had made their way to ringside...followed by The Steiners and we saw a stand-off that had Luger watching on from the ropes. Andre would tip Luger out of the ring and then go across to speak to Lou Albano.

Brian had a series of spells of domination, usually after Rick had been distracted by Missy. One spell of note came after a sprinboard clothesline, which was followed by Brian calling upon some of his Stu Hart training as he worked Rude's left arm. Rude on the other hand, would side step a later attempt at a springboared moonsault after Pillman had ducked under an attempted clothesline. </p><p> </p><p> As the match came near it's conclusion, Rude would take control with some fairly meticulous chops, clubs to the back and mat work. Rick would constantly wave Missy away as she gave a few volleys of anger, which eventually led to Missy getting on the ring apron.

{Post-show}

 

Reports swept round the roster about a post-show incident backstage. Baby Doll was in attendance at the time, albeit only outside the room itself. Bob Bradley and Scott Norton had been brought backstage by Mark Rocco, not the first time workers have been called back and it won't be the last. After a minute or so, Paul Ellering came flying out the room and he was quickly followed by Bob Bradley. Neither stopped to say much to Baby Doll, though Bob did say it looks like Keirn might be a happy boy. After five minutes or so, Scott Norton came out the door and he was still shouting back in. Rocco came out and got in Scott's face, with Herb appearing also. According to Baby Doll, things seemed to have calmed down until Herb whispered in Norton's ear and Norton grabbed for him. At that point, Les Thatcher appeared and escorted Baby Doll away.

I may also appear concerned, that is down to not knowing what is inside the envelope being held by Paul Ellering."</p><p> </p><p> Paul: "As drugs scandal grips professional wrestling, the NWA can not accept the net of blame to be cast their way. With that in mind, we instigated and funded a <strong>UWF roster wide drug test</strong> over the past two weeks and the results are inside this envelope. For some on the roster, this may be their last night with the UWF, or we may be able to move on together with our heads held high."</p><p> </p><p> <strong>{Paul opens the envelope, reads the sheet of paper and hands it to Herb.

Some quick fire tag work saw the champions take control of the match, but Williams would eventually get in and had his chance to show Orton how it was done. From here, there was a phase of the challengers using the champions as fodder whilst looking to impress each other. One big move followed another until Orton tagged himself in, which saw Williams get in his face. Orton hit Kroffat with a clothesline, walked across to Williams and we could hear "see...follow that!" Williams tagged himself back in, picked up Kroffat and ran towards the corner...where he swung Kroffat towards Orton and knocked Orton to the floor. Williams would dump Kroffat to the mat and go out to attack Orton.

Well that definitely clears up a lot of space at the top of the card, at least. It's a shame losing Rude though as he was really entertaining here. But how in the world did Herb escape the drug test? You know at least one of them *coughSteinercough* probably wanted to see him get tested too before doing theirs!

Bruno took exception to this and walked out, in the commotion The Samoan Savage also left.

<strong>{Mark, Larry and Les arrive to find Herb already there, but he's looking around as if he's waiting for something.}</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Larry! We don't usually see you down here with us."</p><p> </p><p>

Larry: "No, no, I...Herb..."</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Oh, sorry, just a bit you know. Oh, I didn't thank you selling the training complex so quickly."</p><p> </p><p>

Larry: "Yeah well, there's always someone out there willing to...right, I'm away guys. Oh, any interest in Prichard?"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Huh, wh...yes, why not. Get it right up Jerry and his...ah, nope it's the guy with the food. Right Larry, see you later."</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "So, Herb...HERB!!! Stop looking at every waiter and, well actually she's okay, erm waitress who goes past."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "No phone call yet then?"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "No, nothing. Who knows what hour it is over there, nine at night or something isn't it."</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>{The waiter brings the last of the food over and hands a fax to Herb.}</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "A Fax...he's DOING IT BY FAX!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Mark, you had anyone show any interest?"</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "About five Les, my name still carries some weight out there. Black Tiger, Blaaaaack Tigeeeeer, it's amazing!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "I've only had one so far, but..."</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>{Herb thumps the table, which startles everyone in the hotel's breakfast area.}</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "BASTARD!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Herb, for the..."</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Sorry, sorry, but this fax...well, not the official bit. But, this ****ing covering letter!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Herb, give it here. Mark, take Herb across for a coffee...calm him down."</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "Bloody hell, okay come on Herb."</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>{Mark and Herb get up and walk over to the serving area. Herb could still be heard occasionally as Les looked over the covering letter and the official documents.}</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Les: "All seems fair enough, can see why Herb is upset though. We can be...well, not that!"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "CHAOS, I'll give him bloody chaos Mark."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Got us the ESPN deal? Prestige to the titles within the UWF, hmmm well I'll...oh hang on, DYING???"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Bloody worthless, WORTHLESS!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Herb, Mark, just come back over."</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>{Les waits as Herb and Mark sit back down.}</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Right, so we're out then Herb?"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Yes, no more NWA and no more dealing with Paul. You know, IT ALL makes sense now. The contracts, the title matches, the people not being available, strangely making their way to Japan."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Herb, it can't all be down to..."</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "It was NEVER All Japan was it, huh...WAS IT? It was never a non-NWA promotion contacting our Champions, offering them other deals. No, NO..."</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "Well, he does have a..."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Doesn't matter, Herb come on let's focus. What does it all mean, where do we go next?"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Significant settlement package...I'll take a package AND SETTLE IT up Ellering's fu..."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "HERB!"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Okay, okay...right, where are we? </p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "Well, the NWA National Heavyweight & NWA Six Man Championships are gone. NWA World Tag, World Junior Heavyweight...some of our belts are free or could be refreshed too."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Come on Herb, what about Novembrawl?"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: " A TOURNAMENT, UWF Heavyweight championship...I've had a belt sitting in a safe for months now!"</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "Refresh Bobby's belt, call it the UWF Junior Heavyweight."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "Good, excellent, we're getting there. Big Wrestling can carry a Tag Team Tournament, Women's belt back in circulation, SportsChannel Television belt."</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "World League of Wrestling, Division One is all fixed up with Starr, Street, Steiner, Pillman and Williams coming in."</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "They've missed four weeks though."</p><p> </p><p>

Mark: "Makes them hungry!"</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Yes, YES, good...HUNGER, desire, championships, PRESTIGE!!!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "It's all going well, it'll be fine."</p><p> </p><p>

Herb: "Yeah, forget Paul, screw the NWA! We'll conquer America, then Japan!"</p><p> </p><p>

Les: "What? No, Herb..."</p><p> </p><p>
