This is off the charts of the unintentional comedy scale.

Was the boogie-man on a starvation diet?

I can see why Abrams reversed the decision. The ref clearly sees Col. Red smack Valiant with the cane yet doesn't DQ Koloff due to interference.

Nonetheless, it does represent shitty booking on Abrams' part. All he wanted was an opportunity to play the hero but couldn't book it right.

I wonder why so many wrestlers from 1983-94 sported mullets. I could name at least 50 wrestlers who sported them, from main eventers to local job guys.

5:31 is the funniest thing I've ever ever seen in wrestling. It's so abrupt.

This makes me appreciate TNA more -________-

That's one high-powered mullet on the Colonel, there.

Col. at 1:30-1:34 = "Who's grabbing the mic from my hand..., oh yeah, it's Abrams, time to act in character " *face change in two steps, throw fit

They used to do TV tapings at the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC, and their "arena" looked absolutely filthy as hell. A high school gym would have been better. Plus their ring looked at times like it was about to collapse. Herbie had some good wrestlers, but most were over-the-hill veterans like Koloff, Valiant, Orton Jr., Orndorff, etc. And who the fuck would give a push to Barry Horowitz? In the words of Rick James: "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."

@davesecx Not likely - Herbie was Jewish as well.

UWF production values were about a step below a high school a/v class.

[crackhead2006]

Listen to the HEAT Col. Red is getting! INSANNNNE! That is old school rasslin' like it used to be in the good old days.

....On the "going on in the UWF." UGH....this editing is horrible even for the early 90's. I do love how Herb comes out and starts screaming in his cheap UWF jacket
