Sorry if someone has posted this before, but I came across this little UWF gem while checking out old wrestling on You Tube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAg5XTTrp8wWow....just.....wow. I mean, on one hand, it's incredibly 80's and cheesy, but man....Bill Watts did have himself a talent roster. I do hope he releases the dvd's himself, if he isn't eventually going to sell the tapes to Vince. And those Ratings......jeez, Vince would beat Linda to death with a Slammy for ratings like that. |

This is just screaming for one of those documentary/ best of matches sets.
I've never seen anything from this promotion before, and now I want more.

In 1986, Savannah Jack surfaced in Bill Watts' Universal Wrestling Federation as the "procurer" (implied to be a pimp, drug dealer, or both) for General Skandor Akbar's Devastation Incorporated. He was known to have the worst "super kick" ever. wow Why was this guy the TV champ in UWF when there were SO many other good wrestlers? Has Watts ever addressed this? |

Most importantly, we finally have Angry Jim Ross' phone number! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to call him and ask him if his grill is running.

Watts UWF was awesome back in the day. It was my favorite promotion for the short time it was around. It had a good blend of Mid-South talent along with World Class talent.
Watts family sells the dvd's of this stuff on there website. IIRC it is called Universal wrestling .com.
This was when guys like Duggan and Dibiase were actually cool to watch IMO.
