Shark Week: Tentacles (1977)

Tentacles (1977), dir. Ovidio G. Assonitis, A-Esse Cinematografica/Cherkaway Ltd. 

So, mercifully, thankfully, we bring this segment to an end for another year. We've spent all week on sharks, so why not formally end with a Jaws rip-off?

Shark Week: Sharknado (2013)

 Sharknado (2013), dir. Anthony C. Ferrante, the Asylum/SyFy Films 

Nearing the end, so why not end on a high note?

Shark Week: Shark in Venice (2008)

 Shark in Venice (2008), dir. Danny Lerner, Nu Image Films/Venice Sharks

David Franks (Stephan Baldwin) and his girlfriend Laura (Vanessa Johansson) are in Venice, but it isn't a romantic getaway. No, they are in the canaled city looking into the disappearance and more than likely death of David's father. 

David and a red shirt fellow slip into some wetsuits and go exploring under the city. They find two things; 1) sharks that promptly eat the other guy and 2) a room filled with treasure. David manages to snag a brooch before slipping away and passing out thanks to blood lose.

After David recovers, he and Laura are more or less forced to meet with Vito Clemenza (Giacomo Gonella). Vito is VERY interested in the brooch, and if David could maybe get him all the treasure, well that would be great. 

Can David stop the sharks? Will anything be resolved by the end?

Yeah, not great. Are the sharks in Venice (the film was shot in Bulgaria, for added hilarity) a result of weather change or did Vito do something? The film seems a bit confused on this point. 

Not really worth the effort.

Shark Week: Malibu Shark Attack (2008)

 Malibu Shark Attack (2008), dir. David Lister, Insight Film Studios/Limelight International Media Entertainment 

Half way finished, and we have another SciFi Channel made for tv flick.

Shark Week: Marina Monster (2008)

 Marina Monster (2008), dir. Christine Whitlock, CJ Creative Productions 

Bit of an odd one. Apparently the third film in a trilogy, I skipped over the first two as neither one dealt with sharks. 

Earl Molar (Trevor Crane) is just a working class joe, earning his pay at the Center of Inland Waters. He's dating Oceana Anchor (Michaelle LaHaise), daughter of his father's rival. Oh, and a bull shark as set up shop in the marina.

Will the shark be stopped? Will Commodore Molar (Ray Kohler) and Commodore Anchor (Andre Ciere) stop having sex with all the available women long enough to care? Will people stop pushing other people directly into the shark's path?

Yeah, a kill count of about 40, with most of a result of people either pushing, dragging or in one case, leaping directly in front of the shark. I know we make jokes about people watching films rooting for the monsters, but yeah, you WILL be cheering for the shark in this one, never mind how obviously fake it looks. 

Shark Week: Shark Swarm (2008)

 Shark Swarm (2008), dir. James M. Contner, Larry Levinson Productions/RHI Entertainment/Silverstar Ltd. 

Apparently there is an entire series called Maneater?

Blackjack Brawl fallout!

Captain's Corner

Jerry Lynn sits down with Captain Lou. He's doing better, but he has a message for Kevin Von Erich. He could have left him to Allen, could have taken the win, but he didn't. He's just curious what Mr. Brawl winner has to say about that. 

Kevin Von Erich comes out. He's darn grateful, so much so he's willing give any of the number one contenders to him, no match or anything. Jerry narrows his eyes and points to the World title. Kevin looks taken back for a second, but after a few seconds slowly nods his head and gives the title shot to Lynn. 

Herb Abrams comes out and He's fit to burst. Best show they've ever done, so far! And 2 bits of news. Rampage will return, so keep an eye out for that. 

The second bit of news is the addition of a new title belt and a slight change to the program. After the Brawl, the owners of the Global Wrestling Federation have thrown in towel, as it were and on top of that there is the matter of the GWF Light Heavyweight championship. 

The Lightning Kid comes out, belt in hand. Since the Kid spends so much time here in the UWF, it was decided to simply bring the title in, its history will be respected, but the Kid will be treated as the first champ. 

Colonel Red tries to have an interview with David Strong but the Dogs of War aren't happy. The Blackhearts kept their titles, but Robin losing the title and Allen's lack of showing at the Brawl? Well, David is laying down the law. Any more losses and Jason the Terrible is going to be busy. He turns his attention to Rude. Starting next week, Rude is going on the offense and he is going to take that title!

Herb comes out and has another announcement-Fury Hour is no more! No, they're not going under. What with the influxes of titles and the GWF roster, Fury Hour is simply UWF Fury and it will be TWO Hours!

The rest of the show is a video package on the currents champs. Next week will be Dr. Death defending his title against Jerry Lynn!

Tier 2: 5 men (based on their win/loss record) are already there. After ten minutes, the door to tier 3 opens and closes in three.

Blair is the odd man out and is quickly taken down by Von Erich's skill and Bigelow's sheer size thus leaving the two superstars. Von Erich goes for the Iron Claw but Bigelow suplexes the Texan into a quick pin. 13 mins. 

Captain Lou flags Bigelow down. Bigelow promises to be one hell of a champ. He might lose the belt someday but whoever takes it from him is going to have a fight on their hands. 

UWF Women's title 

Rotten Robin (c) VS Candi Devine 

Robin starts out strong but Devine starts to mount a comeback, a comeback that is squashed fairly quickly when Robin nails her with some brass knuckles. 8 mins

GWF/UWF Brass Knuckles title

Cactus Jack (c) VS...

Well, whoever was supposed to come out of the curtain may remain a mystery for the ages as Jason the Terrible rushes out from the crowd and goes to town on Cactus Jack with an ax handle. Less a wrestling match and more attempted homicide. Cactus takes a ridiculous amount of punishment but Jason can't pin him, although 10 minutes in he clearly stops caring about the title and opts for outright murder. The referee makes the mistakes of annoying him (mostly by being in his line of sight) so Jason turns his attention on the official. One gut punch later, multiple officials and security have rushed from the back and called a no contest. Swarming the masked madman, the two men are helped, but Cactus gets a third wind and leaps from the stretcher. He also grabs the stretcher and smacks Jason with it as they brawl into the back.  20 mins. 

Herb Abrams comes out and addresses the crowd. Obviously this level of violence is not the norm and such displays of violence will not be tolerated. Pay-per-views, on the other hand, are a different matter! Assuming Cactus is medically cleared, the Brass Knuckles title be defended in a match rarely seen in North America- a death match! And if he isn't, well there's always a sucker, I mean, contender waiting in the wings...

We end with David Strong meeting with Rick Rude, Bad News Allen, Rotten Robin, and the Blackhearts. Jason the Terrible, still bloody, barges in but Strong calms everyone down. Since the UWF has a new title, Strong simply got a guy to cover that division...and if anyone slacks off they'll know what he'll do to them.

David Strong steps out and addresses the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce Jason the Terrible!" Strong in confident but even he looks wary at the hulking giant. He steps out of the way as Jason smacks security guards aside and casually leaves. 

Bad News Allen VS Johnny Ace

Allen doesn't attempt to keep it clean. He smacks Ace around and gets him in a submission hold in 5 mins. 

The Handsome Stranger VS the Blue Demon King 

The Stranger does a good job, even gets a two count, but Jason the Terrible shows up, distracting him and letting the Demon King have a quick roll up in 5. Jason smacks both men but takes time to throttle the Stranger. 

Captain's Corner 

Captain Lou sits down with "Dr. Death". He sits casually with the North American belt on his shoulder. They chat but Williams makes it clear the belt is HIS and he WILL be keeping it. Someone else gets a number one contender? Good for 'em but that doesn't change anything. Jason the Terrible throws a couch. Williams is blindsided and gets up and the two hosses started beating the tar out of each other, wrecking the set. Jason, blood pouring from his mask, headbutts Williams down and whips him with the belt before police officers burst onto the scene and drag the masked fellow out.

Paul Orndorff comes out and he isn't happy. He summons Bad New Allen and the TV champ comes out. Allen is smirking but he changes his tune. That little stunt he pulled last week? Yeah, he has 2 options-either a massive fine or he hands over the TV title.

Allen is angry but then he goes calm. "Fine, getting bored of this chump champ belt anyway. Next gold that goes around my waist is going to be bigger anyway!" 

Thus we'll be starting a new tournament to crown a new TV champ-tonight!

The tournament will be broken down as such:

Sam Houston VS Col. DeBeers

"Iron" Mike Sharpe VS Bam Bam Bigelow

Kevin Von Erich VS Terry Gordy 

"Gentleman" Chris Adams VS Bob Backlund 

Billy Jack Haynes VS Barry O

The Dark Patriot VS B. Brain Blair

Sam Houston VS Col. DeBeers 

Sam tries his best, but DeBeers nails his Heart Punch twice, winning TKO. 8 mins. 

"Iron" Mike Sharpe VS Bam Bam Bigelow

Sharpe is outpaced at every turn. Bigelow does a perfect cartwheel and smacks him stupid with an elbow. 7 mins. 

Colonel Red sits down with Bad News Allen and David Strong. Neither man is happy. Strong is upset his Dogs of War doesn't have the TV title. Allen is upset that apparently he was only seen as a midcard guy. Rick Rude comes out and makes it clear HE'S the main event guy. Allen points out Rude has only 4 matches out of 5. He's won 27 out of 28. Why isn't he going after Doctor Death?

Paul Orndorff comes out, and yes, he agrees. So the main event tonight-Rick Rude VS Bad News Allen!

UWF Women's title

Rotten Robin (c) VS Miss Texas 

Miss Texas gives it her all, but the Blackhearts swoop in at the last minutes and lay her out with a steel chair, thus giving Robin the win. The announcers even point out even if they could get alert the ref, all that would do is Texas the win via DQ and thus no title. 8 mins. 

Luna Vachon rushes out and nails Robin with a chair. She doesn't care if she doesn't get a title or not, as long as Robin is in the UWF, she's going to hunt her down like the vermin she is! She keeps the Blackhearts at bay long enough to escape. 

Herb Abrams comes out and he has news for Blackjack Brawl. Things haven't been so great with the GWF lately, so this PPV there will be 2 matches! First, the GWF will have a chance to win their Brass Knuckles title back and next, Herb is so confident about his wrestlers he is proposing a title unification. The UWF titles VS the GWF titles!

Rick Rude VS Bad News Allen. 

The Blackhearts are behind Rude while Robin is behind Allen. Rude plays the babyface in peril but he switches over to his cocky heel. Allen goes from wrestling to judo holds. Strong tries to interfere but Rude wins with pure skill. 15 mins.

Orndorff counters, no, no he doesn't. He's 4 and 1. Not bad, but the Bounty Hunter has a better track record. Get that number up and he'll consider it. Rude starts to pace and rant when Bad News Allen rushes Orndorff from behind and slaps him in an armbar. Security and some of the faces rush from the back and manage free him. Joshua Ben-Gurion slaps Brown down and challenges him to a fight. Orndorff okays it as he's been carried out.
