Herb Abrams UWF - Captain Lou Albano Interview with Andre the Giant

Captain Lou Albano conducts the only in-ring appearance interview of Andre in the U.W.F. It aired in January of 1991. Andre never wrestled for Herb Abrams but did appear twice on his shows, both being interviewed by Albano.

Vince wasn't happy about Andre appearing in UWF and hoped he wouldn't appear in another American promotion outside WWF again, but in September of 1992 he appeared on WCW's 20th annual Clash of the Champions. Vince was heartbroken. It turned out to be Andre's final US television appearance.

I wonder how many checks bounced so that Herb could pay André upfront?

[@JMFabiano]

9 times out of 10, a BIG surprise in wrestling = Andre.

P.s. Dark Side of the Ring sent me.

I wish Andre was around to wonder what the X in WXO stood for.

VINCE MCMAHON JUNIOR MUST HAS SHIT HIS PANTS WHEN HE SAW ANDRE THE GIANT ON THE UWF.😲😲😲😲😲😲

[@chadk890]

Not really cause he got Andre back remember?

[@weslockman5049]

I remember seeing him there for a very short time and shortly after he was at Wrestlemania VII.

[@NightWarriorAlive]

Yeah, because Vince McMahon didn't want Andre on UWF TV; I remember Andre was advertised for the 91 Royal Rumble.

[@ppiorkowski1502]

@@NightWarriorAlive I believe this may have been his only appearance. Vince didn't want him on there because this company was going to try to bury the WWF and I believe they were very publicly vocal about it. By this time Capt Lou had a major falling out with Vince. But Andre was always loyal to Vince.

Aaaaannd never wrestled one minute in UWF. 😂😂😂

[@paddydoublems]

I never knew Abrams got Andre until I saw the episode of Dark Side of the Ring. When Vince brought him back to Stamford, I am sure he left since he knew Vince had money and could follow through on it.

Should have made Andre The Giant the UWF Champion. Herb made a big mistake by not putting the belt on the Giant.
