So this isn't The Bill Watts UNiversal Wrestling Federation.Because that was hands down my favorite wrestling show in the 80's.That was the ECW of it's time!The Freebirds,Devastation Inc,Hot Stuff International,Debiase,Dr. Death,Chris Adams,Savana Jack.That show RULED!Too bad it didn't last long on local syndication as always!  Watts' ex-wife has possession of the "good" UWF tape library. I remember reading something that she was considering releasing discs in volumes in stores. Don't know if that is still being done or not though. |

Good lord, I was hoping the Abrams UWF would have stayed buried forever. " Abrams was a known drug addict at the time, which was apparent in both the booking of Blackjack Brawl and his on-air appearance during the show." .....I wish that was on YouTube, I'd like to see it now. I believe that's the show where he got on the mic and, for no reason whatsoever, announced to the crowd "Let's hear it for the Jews!" |

You know, if this promotion is such a joke, then it goes perfectly with Cheap Seats.
What a combo!
Edit: Also, Cactus Jack!

I've always wanted to catch UWF just to see how bad it is... And I can't wait for next Tuesday... It'll be a great escape after a long day of work.  |

Well, this should be interesting for the trainwreck aspect of it.
Plus, Cheap Seats!

At first, I thought the original poster was talking about the UWF from Japan. Ah well...

Didn't Espn Classic have really old wrestling on at one point in its history. Because I remember walking into my grandfather's place one Saturday morning and he had it on its all the black and white glory. Can't remember the promotion. Was before I got cable again too.

I looked at ESPN Classic's official guide on their website, and they say they start the 7th.

They used to, but most of those shows were later on Cheap Seats. |

Just from looking at the UWF's Wiki, it looks like they're rerunning repackaged half-hour shows that originally ran on ESPN 2. Interesting.

I wish this was UWF from Japan. Takada wrecking fools. Would have been much cooler.

I'm excited. I loved the Herb Abrams UWF when I was younger. I bought the two tape set and taped a few shows off of TV. This is going to rule...or crush my childhood. Either or.
