For the first 11 episodes of Fury Hour he was an on-screen commentator alongside Bruno Sammartino,[8] for which the readers of Wrestling Observer Newsletter voted him Worst Television Announcer of 1990.

After the UWF's SportsChannel America deal expired without extension in September 1991, Abrams' live show schedule went from regular, to sporadic.

Allegedly, Abrams owed various people money, and insisted on destroying furniture to find non-existent "bugging devices" he believed were secretly recording him.
