UWF: Universal Take Off!!!

[Oldschool]

[B][SIZE="5"]The Return Of The[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/reduwflogo.jpg[/IMG] Mid South Wrestling run by "Cowboy" Bill Watts was one of the hottest wrestling regions of the 1980's. It went on to spawn The Universal Wrestling Federation in 1985 before being bought out by Jim Crockett Promotions in 1987...It's legacy will always be remembered as a hard hitting, action packed wrestling organization that had some of the best wrestlers and angles of all-time...It will make its return in a new form, based out of Madison Square Garden... If your unfamiliar with the story, here is how the New UWF came about... I myself was television adevertising executive, and long time wrestling fan, who tried to pitch an "old-school" style promotion and sell advertising for it to the several television cable networks I worked for...I originally wanted to run old footage, but Vince McMahon had bought up almost the entire history of pro wrestling and has added it to his own personal video library of which we may never see again..However, there is one prominent organization that never sold out to Vince McMahon and that was Bill Watts old UWF?mid-South Wrestling....Bill Watts was interested in airing his product and after several conversations we clicked on either airing his old footage or bringing back his old style, including using some of the names, storylines and angles of the past...Vince McMahon had recieved word of the possibility of this revival and thought one of his disgruntled employees was working behind his back and that employee was none other than... [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/jimross1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="5"]Good Ole Jim Ross himself[/SIZE][/B] Now this all came about as McMahon had begun contemplating creating a 4th brand "The revival of the WCW" and it was thought that the idea behind the new WCW would be an old school feel...However, Ross was thinking great angles like he been apart of in the Mid South and NWA with realistic storylines and engaging angles and characters, while McMahon was contemplating the revival of the cartoon error... The two became at such odds of the direction of the new WCW, and the fact that Vince thought Ross was behind this UWF idea, that McMahon did not renew Ross's contract... JR then went on to contact Bill Watts and basically said, "[B]What gives, I just got fired by the WWE because they thought I was working with you on the revival of the UWF"[/B] Watts replied, god no, I've been talking to this guy names Old-School and we were just talking about airing old-footage of the UWF or creating a copycat promotion to air on the cable television network he was working for which was Versus, which is now based out of Stamford, CT." McMahon finnally got wind of the the deal going on with Versus and myself that he pulled his MSG Classics off the MSG Network and offered WWE CLassics on Versus, which had a larger national audience than the MSG network...This infuriated MSG/Cablevision boss [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/dolan.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]James Dolan[/SIZE][/B] James Dolan who owned the Knicks, Rangers, MSG network and operated the Garden himself, became so mad that he vowed revenge on Vince McMahon...Dolan was also good aquaintances with Jim Ross...Ross was good friends with Bill Watts and Bill Watts and myself had become good aquaintances that we all got together and out of this came, my vision of recreating an old-school style promotion and recreating some of the great storylines and angles of the past, with Bill Watts providing the lineage and title history of the old Universal Wrestling Federation...JR provided instant credibility, a reputable source that many workers know and James Dolan, provided a venue and a forum (Madison Square Garden and the MSG network) at a reduced rent and free time slot, in which he gets to keep advertising revenue from the television program... And Suddenly, my little dream of a small old-school promotion just set up shop in the middle of Manhatten in the Worlds Most Famous Arena on reputable television network, and we made ourselves the eye of Vince McMahon's rage as we have set up this UWF revival in Vince McMahon's backyard...

The Roster [I]Jim Ross had used his connections to sign some WWE castoffs, we picked up some top independant talent as well...Our intent is to capture the Magic that MSG had back in the Bruno, Backlund and early Hulkster era by creating new stars, that the people can identify with... The UWF will tape weekly TV shows at smaller Tri-state venues in an attempt to promote a big Monthly event at Madison Square Garden....[/I] The Wrestlers you will see according to UWFwrestling.com are as follows: [B][U]Broadcasters[/U][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/JimRoss-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/kevinkelly.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Jim Ross & Kevin Kelly[/SIZE][/B] [B][U]Wrestlers[/U][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/charliehaas1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Charlie Haas[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/Albright.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Brent Albright[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/doublec.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Claudio Castagnoli[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/murdoch.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Trevor Murdoch[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/dinsmore.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Nick Dinsmore[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/london5.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Paul London[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/bloom.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Brute Bernard[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/kaseyjames1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Kasey James[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/nigel1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Nigel McGuinness[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/fergal.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Danny Boy Flynn[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/oliverjohn.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Oliver St. John[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/Richards.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Davey Richards[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/larrysweeney-1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Larry Sweeney[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/stevens.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Dewey Stevens[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/granakuma.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Gran Akuma[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/walters-1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Spiros Stagikas[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/raygordy-1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Terry Ray Gordy[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/Steele.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Ace Steele[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/harrysmith.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Harry Smith[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/tjwilson.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]T.J.

[NickC13573]

I remember the BIG long backstory, are you FINALLY going to begin!!!!!!!

[Oldschool]

Yes, I was waiting for real world mod to come out

[G-Prime]

I was wondering what had happened to this. Can't wait for you to start on the shows.

[Oldschool]

[IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/jrsblog.jpg[/IMG] [I]Well bye gawd, i think its finally ready to happen... The long and tumultous wait is about to end and were about to get this UWF shindig off the ground and kickin, old-school style and right in the heart of the greatest city in the world... I'll tell you all, for sure that this ain't gonna be no picnic as Mr. McMahon has certainly not taken kind to an upstart promotion happening in his backyard... And it hasn't gone without some of our own suffering, we had to delay the beginnings of the revival due to many scheduling conflicts with the Garden, and after waiting our turn we've got the dates set up each and every month over throughout 2007 and while it may take some time for you the fans to get into some of our grapplers, our first event promises to be a doosey... I guess I'll spill the beans right here in announcing our very first event in the world's greatest arena will see an 8 man single elimination tournament to declare the new UWF World Heavyweight Champion.... Our championship committee has already chosen 4 wrestlers to participate [B]1. Charlie Haas [/B],the big tough Oklahoman with a great amateur background and reigns in the WWE as a tag team Champion. [B]2. Trevor Murdoch[/B], this big cowboy just screams old-school and fits the UWF style like a glove [B]3. Nigel McGuinness[/B], A tough as the come englishmen who has proven himself all around the world including in the states in ROH. [B]4. Brent Albright[/B] Another rough, tough Oklahoman, who was given a fair shake in his WWE stint, but he too like Big Charlie Haas has solid amateur credentials... Now on to the the big news [B]The UWF is giving YOU THE FANS the chance to choose the remaining wrestlers you want to see, compete for this prestigious title[/B]... [B]All you have to do is respond with a list of 4 wrestlers you'd like to see compete out of our contracted wrestlers and the ones who recieve the most votes will be in the World Title Tournament...Look forward to hearing from you and keep following uwfwrestling.com for further details on the takeoff of the UWF![/B][/I]

Dinsmore blamed Gordy, referee Robert Briskoe, Kevin Kelly and the time keeper for his omission.. Finally Gordy grew tired and chased Dinsmore around the ring, but Dinsmore caught him first as he entered the ring behind him and began pounding on Gordy...Gordy mounted a nice comeback, but Dinsmore hit the "Dinsmore Dop" for the victory[/I] Back at the announce table Sweeney was agreeing with Dinsmore and himself have gotten the shaft and that the fans need to vote them in...He then introduced his newest Bombshell to the audience in the form of his new valet: [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/talia.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Vixen[/SIZE][/B] After the Commercial break JR introduced legendary wrestling hall of famer [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/dibiase.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Ted Dibiase[/SIZE][/B] to the crowd [B][COLOR="red"]Rated: C+[/COLOR][/B] Dibiase, approached Sweeney and asked him, "If he needed any help" Sweeney replied "Help with what?"

JR and Ted Dibiase hyped this matchup as the 2 best young tag teams in wrestling today... Dibiase added that we were about to see a rivalry unfold between these teams like the British Bulldogs and Hart Foundation had years ago, except at a higher impact rate, faster speed with more athletic ability......The two teams exchanged offense...Harry showed off his superior power with an array of suplexes and slams, while TJ worked in quick wrestling holds and double teams, the Briscoes mounted back with some head drops of their own on TJ....Sweeney made his way to ringside and tried but failed to interfere on both teams behalf, but neither team wanted him aroundand all 4 wrestlers got in his face at some point or another...The teams exchanged some heated blows and really began to wear each other out...Finally TJ hot tagged in Harry who was cleaning house, when Sweeney grabbed his ankle and tripped him...Meanwhile Vixen pulled out a jar of mase and sprayed Jay Briscoe in the eyes...at which point running out of the crowd with shovels and destroying everyone in their way was..[/I] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/kaseyjames5.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/acesteele1.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]Kasey James/ Ace Steele[/SIZE][/B] Both Steele and James had shovels and just pounded on both Briscoes and Bulldogs, while Larry Sweeney grabbed the mic and bellowed out, "I told you I was making a splash, I told you I had another bombshell to reveal...Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you...

JR's Blog [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/jrsblog.jpg[/IMG] [I]Well, Our first television program has come and gone and while I'll be the first to admit, we didn't hit a grand slam, I feel we definately had a good at bat... Our intentions is to start slow and try to get our new audience familiar with our talent, while still putting on an exciting event... Ultimately we simply plan to use our TV to draw people to our monthly event at the world greatest arena: Madison Square Garden! And we're happy with our .06 rating from last night, hopefully we can turn those viewers into buying tickets at the Garden. Larry Sweeney certainly made his prescence felt... The man is very entertaining and provides a different type of insight in the broadcast booth, but he also seems, like he wants to make a name for himself with the heinous shovel attack on both The Briscoes and The Bulldogs by his new stable mates Kasey James and Ace Steele... Danny Boy Flynn and Spiros Stagikas had that oldschool WWWF feel to it as the fans really weren't into them that much, but at least they could identify with their ethnicity...Flynn is a young Irishman who just doesn't know how to quit, while Stagikas has the build of a "Greek God" and a solid technical game..The match wasn't the greatest, but if anything, Stagikas showed us his abilities and Flynn showed us resilient he can be.. Nick Dinsmore, gave us a new look as, opposed to what we've seen of him over the last few years..."Mr. Irresistable" is not happy about not being included in the first 4, that have been selected by the championship committee... Speaking of that UWF world title tournament, keep them votes coming in as to the next 4 particpants you'd like to see compete for the UWF world title... And make sure you tune in, next Thursday as we will talk with "Mr. Irresistable" Nick Dinsmore, we'll be visited again by the legend himself Ted Dibiase again, and we are looking at a television main event of Trevor Murdoch vs Claudio Castagnoli in a matcup of 2 wrestlers with completely diverse backgrounds and styles...[/I] [B][U][COLOR="Red"]ON to Our E-mails[/COLOR][/U][/B] [B]Terry from Chattanooga, TN wrote:[/B] JR are we going to see any more old UWF legends making their return to the new UWF? [B]JR: Well Terry, I can tell you this, and that is the UWF is in serioust negotiations with a major star from from The 80's UWF, to possibly come in playing a prominment role...However, I dont want to mention his name right, now because I do not want it to affect on-going negotiations...[/B] [B]Jim from Glenns Falls, NY wrote:[/B] You know, JR, both Danny Flynn and John Walters seemed familiar to me, have I seen these men anywhere esle in the past? [B]JR: Well, Jim, Spiros Stagikas has performed on many east coast independent organizations including in Ring Of Honor, where he had a run as Pure Wrestling Champion title holder...Spiros wanted to portray his heritage here in the UWF, and began using his own last name, while adopting the "Spiros" moniker as well...Danny Boy Flynn has wrestled some here in the states, but is mostly known for his work in Japan, wearing a mask as Wild Pegasus II...and for someone to be asked to follow in the footsteps of one Chris Benoit, the expectations for him will be enormous[/B] [B]Butch from New Zealand writes:[/B] It seems as if there is alot of young talent in the UWF. Has the UWF signed any veterans to help develope any of this young talent [B]JR: We realize we're in the business of creating new stars, but we also know it is important to have a few guys on the roster who have been around the business...While you may not see many of these guys on TV, Ace Darling, Scoot Andrews, Jason Jett and even Barry Horowitz himself have been around the business for a long time and just getting into the ring with our youngsters, will help them develope their wrestling skills...[/B] [I]Well that's all we have time for now, hope to see you next week for Thursday Night Titans on MSG[/I]

JR's Blog [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/jrsblog.jpg[/IMG] [I]2 weeks in and I'll concur with you, that things are moving a little slow...[B]Larry Sweeney[/B] has come out to try and make a name for himself, but as of right now, most of the talent is focusing on our first Madison Square Garden show featuring the UWF Universal Title tournament... In addition, to that tournamnet, their are discussions about holding a 4 team tag tourney that very same night to declare our first Universal Tag team champions... For, those of you, who feel our [B]Thursday Night Titans[/B] program lacks, what we call in the business is "HEAT"... That is sort of done on purpose... We're focusing on creating new stars, so yes we kind of, have set up some mismatches, or what insiders call "squash" matches... We know who are talent is, we just want to showcase our soo-to-be stars a little bi, and feel that these showcase matches help do this for us... In addition to that, we wanted to bring back the old "event center" segments to help promote our up-coming live events, which for now are just our monthly MSG cards... It's a simple format of a worker and an interviewer in a short segment... One thing we hate about todays product, is the long winded, drawn out promo's that take up most of todays televised wrestling programs...Short and simple and to the point is our philosophy here... Speaking of our so-called "squash" matches.. We're working really hard at developing a team of "dark match" workers who will help improve our talented base of young workers we have... We have just signed [B]Mikey Henderson[/B], who has worked in "UPW" for this role, in adition to [B]Tony Kozina[/B], who will be working under his masked identity of [B]"Canadian Cougar"[/B]... Negotiations are still on-going with Danny Daniels from midwest independents, Matt Stryker, who had a run in ROH, and veteran Tracey Smothers... We'll see how those negotiations work themselves out over the next few days... I can confirm that the new UWF will be hiring an authority figure to be a on-screen decision maker... Our founding father [B]"Cowboy" Bill Watts[/B] will have a hand in filling that position... I do know for a fact that [B]Ted Dibiase[/B] is interested and a couple more ex-UWF'ers from yesteryear are soon to be joining the team, and the Commisioner position seems like a duty, they'd be up to performing. We're still talking about a points system, that will dictate our ranking system...Early indications are that we may give out 3 points for a win over a top 5 wrestler, 2 for a 6-10 ranked wrestler and 1 for a 11-15...While taking 1 point away for a loss to a top 5 wrestler, 2 for a loss to a 6-10 and 3 points away for a loss to 11-15... All the details haven't been worked out yet, including what to do with DQ's, Draws, CO's or in regards, to setting up initial rankings, or whether to reset everyone back to zero after specific period of time...Once a Commisioner is named, we'll take his input in factoring in this equation... There is still time to vote for your 4 wrestlers that you'd like to see join, [B]Nigel McGuinness, Charlie Haas, Brent Albright and Trevor Murdoch[/B] in the Universal Title tourney... Well, that is all for now, we'll take a look at some e-mails next week, if you have any questions you'd like us to answer feel free to send us an e-mail (private message) and I'll do my best to answer you. We'll see you this week at [B]TNT[/B] from our new TV taping home [B]"The UWF Arena"[/B] [/I] [B]JR[/B]

Ross had mentioned that we were approaching the 15 minute time limit..The end came when Akuma was trying to superplex Davey off the top rope, but Davey tossed him off and hit a shooting star press for the pin....[/I] [B][U]The Winner: DAVEY RICHARDS 13:57 [COLOR="Red"]RATED C-[/COLOR][/U][/B] [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]After the match Richards helped Akuma to his feet, shook his hand and stated that he hasn't even been kicked as hard as he has tonight...

I have accepted my fate that I'm a freak show, and if I'm going to be a freak show, I'm going to be the most intimidating, blood thirsty freak show ever to step in the ring... I am not out for titles, I am not out for trophies, I am not out for recognition... I am out for one thing and thats BLOOD! I am the Butcher and I'm coming to hurt people!...

JR's Blog [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/jrsblog.jpg[/IMG] [I]Hello, everyone and thanks for checking in again, as alot of storylines, while still early, are beginning to develope in the new UWF... First off we're still looking forward to the introduction of our very first UWF Commisioner... I know that [B]Ted Dibiase[/B] has publicly "thrown his hat into the ring" if you will... Not to mention there are a couple of old-school UWF'ers about to make their return soon, and both of them have solid credentials as well... [B]Bill Watts[/B] will be joining us this Thursday on TNT to discuss what the UWF championship committee is looking for in a commisioner..and heck! I wouldn't be surprised if the big ole Cowboy makes a run at the commisionership himself... I would expect a decision by our first MSG event this coming Saturday... Speaking of [B]Thursday Night Titans[/B], we will also have announcement on 4 teams that will be competing in the tournament for the UWF Universal Tag Titles...and in fact 3 of the 4 teams will be in action this Thursday and the 4th team is expected to be a couple of legendary UWF wrestlers! We also may have some dissension in the ranks of "The Canadian Bulldogs" and we will talk with them this Thursday night as well... UWF has added a few more workers to our training roster... As mentioned [B]Mikey Henderson[/B] and [B]Tony Kozina "The Canadian Cougar"[/B] signed last week and this week added to the fold are Midwest independent wrestler [B]Danny Daniels[/B], a former WWE wrestler, who recently has made a return to the florida scene in [B]Alex Porteau[/B]...Longtime veteran and a man who has had a succesful career in, [B]Tracey Smothers[/B]... Those 3 Join the likes of Scoot Andrews, Jason Jett, Seth Delay. Our new points ranking system is expected to go into place following on debut at the Garden... We expect the system to add to the importance of each and every match that happens under the UWF banner... While we believe this is a new twist on the way ratings are determine, we realize that sometimes matches, could become more than just the win or the loss and thats why not all matches will count in the points system... Only matches signed as "Contention Matches" will count... We'd like to thank all our fans who participated in voting the second group of wrestlers into the Universal Title tournament... In case you missed last weeks TNT... [B]Harry Smith, Claudio Castagnoli, Paul London[/B] and [B]"Mr. Irresistable" Nick Dinsmore[/B] will be joining [B]Charlie Haas, Brent Albright, Nigel McGuinness[/B] and [B]Trevor Murdoch[/B] in our elite 8... Well thats all I have time for this week, make sure you tune in this Thursday for TNT and hopefully we'll see you this Saturday at the Garden for our first UWF SuperShow![/I] [B]JR[/B]
