LEE MARSHALL: (v/o) If you missed last wek's UWA FURY, you missed...
From last week's show:
... Dundee sets up for a second piledriver....CHRIS ADAMS HITS THE RING TO BREAK IT UP!!! Adams superkicks Dundee out of the ring! Jos LeDuc and Nord the Berzerker run out and help the Superstar to his feet! Is Chris Adams about to be victimized by the House of Dundee? NO! Brian Adams and Johnny Ace hit the ring to stand by the Englishman! Dundee and his guys head to the dressing room!
...LeDuc appears to be fading fast! Nord the Berzerker runs in, still wearing his helmet! Nord headbutts the Midnight Soldier twice in the back of his head While wearing the helmet! Adams falls to the mat! Nord, LeDuc, and Dundee put the boots to Brian Adams! Fortunately, Johnny Ace, Chris Adams, and Don Muraco run in and make the save!
...Fuller nails Muraco from behind with his walking stick and the heels are beating Muraco down! Austin Idol runs out with an ax handle and the Tennesse Stud runs for his life! Sawyer stares Idol down for a few seconds, but then even the “Mad Dog” retreats! Idol is standing tall as we roll credits!
MARSHALL: That was last week's show! Do you seriously want to miss UWA FURY this week?

MARSHALL: Welcome to UWA FURY! On a personal note, it's a dream come true for me to call matches at the legendary Sportatorium!
STASIAK: I've never called a match here, but I spent plenty of time wrestling here! I still have bruises from the likes of Fritz & Waldo Von Erich, Johnny Valentine, and Wahoo McDaniel! They like the wrestling fast and furious down here, so they're gonna love UWA FURY!
MARSHALL: Let's go to Mark Lowrance in the ring!
“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer(w/”Tennessee Stud” Ron Fuller) vs. Jerry “Golden Boy” Grey: Sawyer's American Title isn't on the line tonight.Last week's altercation with Austin Idol seems to have put Sawyer and Fuller in a foul mood and Grey pays the price! Sawyer has never been more vicious as he tears into Grey this week and pins him after his legendary powerslam. After the bout, Fuller gives Sawyer his dog chain and instructs him to whip Grey with it! As Sawyer complies, our ringside mic picks up Fuller saying “That's Austin Idol down there!” Dpeak of the devil, here comes Idol with his axe handle! The heels head for the dressing room in a hurry! Mark Lowrance gets Idol to join him at ringside...
LOWRANCE: For the second week in a row, Austin Idol comes to the rescue!
IDOL: (holding up axe handle) Mark, without further ado, may I introduce a special lady in my life! This is Minerva! Don't let her slender build fool you, she really packs a wallop! I came to the United Wrestling Alliance for revenge on the Stud Stable for an incident that occurred in Pensacola, Florida back in 1986! Since I arrived, I found a new purpose! This Buzz Sawyer is a drooling, howling maniac! He has no business being American Champion! The people of this great country deserve better and I plan on giving it to them! If I can get at Ron Fuller and his jerk cousin in the process, so much the better!
LOWRANCE: I think I can speak for everybody when I say that we'd love to see that match!
IDOL: Make it happen, President Dusek! Make it happen!
COMMERCIAL
Outlaw Ron Bass vs. Rex King: Bass wears the black glove to start the match this week. King is obviously a fine athlete and capable wrestler, but Bass is jus too powerful tonight! Bass applies the claw and pins King in the middle of the ring! Afterwards he grabs the mic...
BASS: Billy Jack Haynes, what does it take to get a title match around here, boy? If I get the claw on your musclehead, I'll be World Champion and you know it! You can't run and hide forever, boy!
VTR:
The Fabulous Ones stand in the locker room.
STAN: This is our big chance, Steve! Right here, live on the USA Network, we wrestle those nasty Super Samoans for the World Titles!
STEVE: I'm not much of a braggart, but we've been hitting on all cylinders since we got here. I seriously think we'll have gold around our waists before this TV show ends tonight!
COMMERCIAL
“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert (w/Missy Hyatt) vs. Chris Youngblood: Gilbert and Hyatt are arrogant, but Eddie can back it up in the ring! The youngest Youngblood gives Gilbert a test, but Eddie locks in the figure four and gets a submission win!
VTR: Bill Dundee stands in front of the House of Dundee logo.
DUNDEE: As usual, it's a big night for the House of Dundee! (Cactus Jack walks out) Me and my man Cactus are in a tag team match! An Englishman and a Texas wild horse cowboy think they are contenders for my Junior Heavyweight Title! Well, we're gonna put a stop to that here tonight!
CACTUS: You tell'em, Superstar! Chris Adams! Sam Houston! We're gonna crush you boys (pulls out a beer can and squashes it) just like that!
The Nasty Boys enter the picture.
SAGS: Last two weeks, we beat up Ricky and Robert in one on one matches and we hurt'em bad! We got a tag team match with them tonight...
KNOBBS: But after what we did to those geeks in singles matches, they might not even show up! HAHAHAHA!
DUNDEE: Look what we've got here!
Nord the Berzerker, Jos LeDuc, and an equally dangerous looking third man come out...
DUNDEE: Brian Adams and Cactus' buddy Johnny Ace got their pal Don Muraco to be their partner this week! Well, the Superstar has pals, too, boys! Last time I was on a tour of the Orient, I met Tarras Bulba! Let's just say he's a baaaad man! With Jos LeDuc and Nord the Berzerker as partners, it could be a long night for the Midnight Army!
LEDUC: They might just go AWOL tonight! I'm so confident that I'm gonna wrestle in the six man and defend the TV Title both in the same night! You don't see Billy Jack doing that, now do you?
DUNDEE: Like I said, a big night!
Billy Jack Haynes vs. Iron Mike Sharpe: Haynes is the Undisputed World Champion, but this match is non-title. Sharpe fights hard, but Haynes wins via full nelson submission.

TV TITLE MATCH: Jos LeDuc © vs. Ryuma Go: The announce team claims Go is quite a star over in Japan. LeDuc goes through him like a hot knife through butter and wins via submission with a bearhug.

HUGHES: My name is Curtis Hughes. They call me “The Big Cat”. I've been working hard, trying to make a name for myself as a pro wrestler. Now, it's time for the ultimate test! Time to go to the big leagues, the UWA! I'm coming real soon! Everybody watch out...the Big Cat is coming!
Superstar Bill Dundee & Cactus Jack vs. Chris Adams & Sam Houston: Dundee made no secret of the fact that this match is all about eliminating two contenders for his UWA World Junior Heavyweight belt! Jack attempts to maim both of the faces and Dundee makes good use of a Tennessee chain throughout. The plan fails as Adams pins Dundee with a sunset flip! Adams has proven he can beat the Superstar!
COMMERCIAL
Bill Dundee is in a foul mood as he leads his men to the ring. His mood doesn't improve when we hear...
The House of Dundee's opposition enters the arena to a rousing ovation!
Tarras Bulba, Jos LeDuc, & Nord the Berzerker(w/Superstar Bill Dundee) vs. “Midnight Soldier” Brian Adams, Johnny Ace, & “the Rock” Don Muraco: Referee Scott LeDoux is a former prizefighter and even he has trouble keepin order in this one! Cactus Jack joins Dundee at rinside to cheer their guys on, but it doesn't help-Muraco pins Bulba after a reverse piledriver. After the match, Dundee berates Bulba for the loss. When Bulba goes after Dundee, Nord kicks him in the face and piledrives him! LeDuc tosses him over the top rope and Jack drops the big elbow off the apron onto Bulba! It looks like Bulba's first and last match in the House of Dundee!
COMMERCIAL
I don't know what's going on here....the Nasty Boys are strutting toward the ring, followed by Bill Dundee....who's pushing Ron Wright in a wheelchair?
The Rock and Roll gets a hero's welcome as usual! They both seem unhappy about Ron Wright's presence at ringside!
Rock and Roll Express vs. The Nasty Boys(w/Superstar Bill Dundee & Ron Wright): Ricky and Robert keep the nastys off balance with speed and teamwork. It looks like it will be a convincing Rock and Roll win, but not so fast! Dundee hops onto the ring apron and distracts referee David Manning! As Manning argues with the Superstar, Wright gets out of his wheelchair, climbs into the ring and throws powder into Robert Gibson's eyes!Manning turns to see Gibson covered in powder and Ron Wright crawling out of the ring! Manning calls for the bell! Ricky and Robert win by DQ! Dundee is screaming in protest, but to no avail!

Ron Wright is still in his wheelchair at ringside. We hear...
Stan Lane & Steve Keirn enter the ring for their title shot! Ron Wright has the house mic...
WRIGHT: Kokina, Afa! Git out here! It's time to put a South Pacific dog whuppin on these two gigolos!
The Super Samoans amble to the ring and we are ready!
UWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:Super Samoans © (w/Ron Wright) vs. The Fabulous Ones: The Fabs go right after the champs and have the match in hand when Wright reaches in and trips Stan, leading to the Samoans gaining an advantage. That's when Ricky Morton comes to ringside and starts wheeling Wright away in his wheelchair! The Samoans go after their manager and the Fabs follow them out of the ring! This leads to a wild brawl that goes all over the place and seesw both teams hit each other with anything that isn't nailed down! Referee David Manning counts everybody out.
