Taped from Orlando, FL

Airdate: April 29, 1990 (taped 04/06)

Attendance: 250

Hosted by Craig DeGeorge and Captain Lou Albano

Wrestling! In Sunny Florida! Who said Abrams couldn’t take us on a mini vacation? With a new venue comes new talent. Who will join us? I’ll give you a hint. There’s women’s wrestling! Let’s unwrap all the gifts!

Opening montage with NEW content.

According to Albano, Bruno Sammarino is on assignment regarding the crowning of a NEW UWF SportsChannel TV champion at Beach Brawl on 6/9.

After Abrams runs down the participants in tonight’s show, he offers us a 30-second video on Universal Studios, Florida.

In a neat visual, the ring is in an outdoor arena. Unfortunately, the quantity of the Orlando faithful is limited.

Match 1: B. Brian Blair (w/o Honey) versus Rico Federico

Highlights:

For those unaware, Federico had worked as enhancement talent for the WWF since 1990.
Blair hip-tossed him, but Federico responded with a monkey flip.
When Federico launched a flying shoulder block, he slammed Blair.
He then attempted a splash but ate knees.
As Blair clotheslined him, he powerslammed Federico for 2.
Blair then locked him in a Sharpshooter, and Federico submitted at 2:23.

Rating: DUD

Summary: Showcase match for Blair.

Match 2: Malia Hosaka versus Penelope Paradise (w/ Luna Vachon)

Highlights:

Paradise had previously wrestled in the PWF eighteen months ago, and this was her second pro match.
As Paradise blocked a hip toss, Hosaka flipped and succeeded in her second attempt.
Paradise then guillotined Hosaka with the top rope and rang her bell.

When she scored with a lariat, Paradise got 1.
She then gave Hosaka a cross corner whip followed by an avalanche.
After she guillotined Hosaka with the bottom rope, Paradise catapulted her across the ring.
Paradise then distracted the anonymous referee, and Luna gave Hosaka the business. How dastardly!
While she supplied Hosaka with a tilt-a-whirl slam, Paradise gave her another cross corner whip but came up empty on her follow-through. In fact, she spilled over the top rope down to the natural grass. That’s quite a bump.

Hosaka brought her back into the ring the hard way, but Paradise reversed a cross corner whip.
As Paradise charged again, she ate boot.
Paradise then reversed an Irish whip but succumbed to a huracanrana. Wow!
1-2-3.
Hosaka won in 4:02.

Rating: *

Summary: Lots of offense by Paradise, but Hosaka was the star, so she demonstrated her will to victory.

Match 3: Bam Bam Bigelow versus Rusty Brooks

Highlights:

For those unaware, Brooks was an enhancement talent who began his career in 1984. In fact, his first match was against former UWF talent Andre the Giant.
Brooks attempted to slam him, but Bigelow blocked it and slammed him.
When Bigelow dropkicked him, he followed with a suplex. Mind you, Brooks was over 300 pounds much like Bigelow. Impressive!
He then landed a diving head butt and got 2.
As Albano continued to intentionally bungle Brooks’ first name, Bigelow unleashed an enziguri. Wow!
He then scored with another diving head butt and pinned Brooks at 5:00.

Rating: *

Summary: Showcase match for Bigelow.

Match 4: The Blackhearts (w/ Luna Vachon) versus Dusty Wolfe & Big Bobby Bitman

Highlights:

For those unaware, the Blackhearts were comprised of David Heath (Gangrel) and Tom Nash and had competed in AJPW and Stampede.
The Blackhearts disposed of Bitman and supplied Wolfe with a somersault double clothesline.
As Wolfe launched a cross body block, Luna distracted the anonymous referee before he could make a count. SNEAKY!
Wolfe then hooked a sunset flip but didn’t earn a count due to Luna’s jumping on the apron again.
When Apocalypse tossed Wolfe down to the ground, he mounted the top turnbuckle and unleashed a flying double axe handle.
Tags were exchanged on both sides, and Destruction bulldogged the 400 lb. Bitman.
After he landed a senton splash, Destruction tossed Bitman down to the ground.
With the referee distracted a third time, Luna made Bitman pay dearly for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Evil!
Wolfe then distracted the referee, so Destruction took liberties with Bitman outside the ring. Nefarious!
While Bitman returned to the ring, Destruction scored with a spinning heel kick.
Apocalypse tagged in, and the Blackhearts provided Bitman with a double flying shoulder block for 2.
As Apocalypse offered Bitman a short-arm clothesline, Destruction tagged in.
The Blackhearts then destroyed Bitman with a Veg-O-Matic and pinned him at 3:30.

Rating: **

Summary: Showcase match for the Blackhearts who used decent tandem offense and high-flying. I wonder if Bitman was behind the launch of Bitcoin.

Match 5: Boris Zhukov versus Big V

Highlights:

For those unaware, Big V was portrayed by Vern Henderson who started in 1985 in Georgia Championship Wrestling.
With a mere eight months left in its history, the Soviet Union brought Zhukov to the UWF.

To generate heat, Zhukov sang the Soviet national anthem quite poorly.
He scored with a big boot and tossed Big V down to the ground.
When Abrams joined the broadcast table, Albano LOST HIS DAMN MIND shilling the PPV.

In case you’re curious, the price for the PPV was $14.95 back in the summer of 1991.

Zhukov provided Big V with a knee lift for 2.
As he slammed Big V twice, Zhukov got another 2.
He then reversed a cross corner whip and unleashed a clothesline from behind.
1-2-3.
Zhukov won in 3:56.

Rating: DUD

Summary: Showcase match for Zhukov.

At ringside, Ricco interviews Zhukov.

When visiting Universal Studios Florida, the UWF would like for you to stay at TraveLodge.

Conclusion: The outdoor venue alone makes this show a must-see, yet no competitive matches take place. If you’ve never seen the Blackhearts or a young Luna, you owe it to yourself to check this out.

Next week, Bigelow squares off against “Cowboy” Bob Orton.

TV Rating: NONE
