The only fans who would have got the "Davey Meltzer" name would have been ones who read the Observer, and they probably would have found this a bit pathetic.
RIP DR. Death Steve Williams. you will be missed. one of the toughest wrestlers in the business he had great feuds with Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and MR. Wonderfull Paul Orndorff.
Lol that is hilarious. I couldn't believe this guys name is really Dave Meltzer. It's not like Meltzer is a common name, and that fact that its dave as well is ridiculous lol
looks like he's ready to make a name.... hmm didn't he already have a name in the real UWF/Mid South, NWA, Japan.... maybe Stone Cold should've spent some time down there so he could make a name for himself there, too (utter sarcasm, of course)
The in ring action & the commentary don't seem to sync up very well here. It is obvious that Bruno & Herb recorded their commentary afterwatds w. canned crowd noise.
I think it is brilliant (& hysterical) move for Herb Abram's to use a jobber he named "Davey Meltzer" as a rib on the real Dave Meltzer who used to badmouth Abram's promotion in his Wrestling Observer newsletter. Unfortunately, it was one of the few good things about Herb's UWF.
I also think Bruno's an awesomely loveable commentator.. the way he's keeping to this trademark style whilst commentating a fight involving 'davey meltzer'... brilliant I say!
I just Bruno is loveable full stop. Some guys are naturally arseholes and come across that way all the time like Orton and Michaels, Bruno is the oppositeM great guy.
For some strange reason, I actually liked Herb Abrams on the mic. At least he was enthusiastic in his work. Of course, all the drugs he did probably had a part in it.
HAHA, I saw this garbage on ESPN Classic a few days ago. He shoves a copy of WON (Wrestling Observer Newsletter) down Davey Meltzers throat (this was Herb Abrams way of taking a shot at all those dirt sheet writers) by naming a jobber Dave Meltzer
I don't get ESPNC, sadly (so I missed the rest of Cheap Seats' run too...) Here's a silly question I always had, who the hell was Brian "Punk ass faggot, I make him humble" Blair's valet, Honey? Was she anyone in wrestling before or after?
I wish I knew. There were quite a few Super Ninjas... WWF, ECW, AWA and countless others all used that name for masked men at different points. Noone seems to know who Honey was either, which I find more odd.
Was this a freaking rib on the wrasslin observer! or what...Oh please!

@ mainfactor, This was the 90's Herb Abrams UWF...which was all right.
But Bill Watt's Mid-south/UWF in the 80's was much better.
