at like midnight/1AM EST, I looked it up on Wiki, and its not the good Bill Watts UWF.....its the other one. Which is odd because they used to show AWA and old Mr. Perfect/Badd Company matches
That being said anyone got info on Wet & Wild or the Power Twins?

Seen a few shows of these....
Painful to watch and painful commentary. Even with the names that are on the show, it was nothing more than a bunch of washed-up stars who seemed to be past their prime.
I still mark for Col. Debeers though.

I love watching this. I wish they were hour long shows though and not just two 30 minute shows. They should just put this and AWA back to back.

Isn't this the Herb Abrams version UWF one that Foley talks about in his book?

Mostly stuff like "Worst Weekly Show" and "Worst Commentator" and "Worst Pay Per View", but awards nonetheless.

when i checked the upcoming schedule it says the AWA will be back on in a few days. i still hold out a small bit of hope that eventually we'll get to see GWF. i actually dont find these UWF shows to be nearly as bad as id heard.

I was pretty into the GWF when it ran on ESPN. I don't think it last long, though. The Steve Simpson & Chris Walker vs Scotty Anthony & Rip Rogers feud was fun.

I hope we get to see the GWF stuff soon. I was at so many of those shows, that it would just take me back to a happy time.

Well that was interesting. Death Row Inmate 62050 had such a good gimmick I'm suprised WCW didn't pick him up

It's on at the same t.ime as ECW for me. Even when WWE is at their worst, all I have to do is flip to Billy Jack Haynes vs. Ken Patera, and I'll reaffirm my loyalty to Vince.
Wasn't the UWF the WWF's developmental at one time? Last night I saw Greg Valentine on their show, and I remember reading in one PWI issue about Rhythm & Blues breaking up in the UWF with Honky hitting Valentine with the guitar, at a time when Valentine was still on WWF TV.
