LordJaguar Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Monday March 26, 2001 Sting had just made Ric Flair tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock and both men stood in the ring embracing. The crowd was on their feet, giving these two fine athletes a huge ovation when and unfamiliar country tune began to play. Everything stopped all at once and out from the back with mic in hand walked out “Cowboy” Bill Watts! The stunned silence of the crowd extended to the announcers and what felt like an eternity passed before Bill broke it by speaking. Bill Watts: Judging by that reaction, I assume your all a little surprised to see me out here. I’m betting you were all expecting Vince McMahon to ride out and dance of WCW’s grave. Well, if it wasn’t for a last minute phone call from a close friend that very well could have been exactly what happened. Now before you all get too excited, my presence here tonight does not mean in anyway, shape, or form that WCW is surviving beyond tonight. You see, I only bought WCW for one reason and one reason only…UWF! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the UWF let me give you all a little history lesson. I ran a little company called Mid South Wrestling. I, like many other promoters of the day, was part of the NWA. Now, to spare you all the boring details, let’s just say I and some other fellows left the NWA and struck out on our own. I turned Mid South into the best damn wrestling promotion around and dominated TV on TBS for months. I was ready to take over wrestling completely in the U.S. when a little piss ant named Jim Barnett made a deal that put Jim Crocket Promotions on TBS and took my show off. I didn’t quit though, and I re-launched Mid South as the Universal Wrestling Federation. Now the UWF had all the talent, vision, and momentum to become huge but what we didn’t have was time. You see a small oil crisis killed the economy in the south and I was forced to sell the UWF to the JCP. Fast forward a bit and the JCP was sold to Ted Turner and he changed it to this sad sack called the WCW. Well, I bought the WCW and so I now own what was once mine and what will be mine forever more! I may not have Ted’s money, I might not have the TV timeslots WCW once held, I don’t even have a Pay Per View deal lined up. What I do have is the UWF, a pool of very talented wrestlers, and a desire to make the UWF the number one promotion in the world. It’s going to be one heck of a ride and I hope each and every one of you will join us at UWF presents Rebirth of Wrestling live from the Mid South Coliseum on Sunday April 29th! Goodnight and God bless… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordJaguar Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Bill Watts in charge of WCW again? What could possess you to commit such heinous deeds... Well, technically it's not WCW it is UWF...and secondly he is the only mind that can take Vinny Mac down! Bill has a mind for the buisness like no other and only time will tell if he can turn UWF into the huge success he always thought it could be.

LordJaguar Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Interesting. I'll be keeping up with this one for sure.

Bill has a mind for the buisness like no other and only time will tell if he can turn UWF into the huge success he always thought it could be. His mind for the business and style is old fashioned, no frills, stiff fighting. Great back in the eighties as a contrast to the NWA or the WWF, but in the modern day? I don't know...

LordJaguar Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 A Special PW411 report: Title Confusion? It appears Bill is at it again because reports are coming in that the UWF will not reconise the championships of WCW and instead unveil several new ones at UWF presents Rebirth of Wrestling. Among the new titles being unveiled we have learned their will be a Universal Championship, a Universal Tag Championship, and a Universal Trio Championship. No word on whether or not UWF will have a cruiserweight, hardcore, or women’s championship but early indications are that all three of these divisions will not be used in UWF.

Yeah Bill Watts was a very negative influence backstage and there was an incident so I felt I had to let him go. Which was a shame I agree.

LordJaguar Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 PW411 Special Report: Isolationist? Another day passes and another huge move from Bill Watts and the UWF. Watts and the UWF have broken ties with both NJPW and NWA: Wildside. As you know NJPW was responsible for bringing in big name Japenese superstars such as Jushin Thunder Liger, The Great Muta, Masahiro Chono, Ultimo Dragon, and Sonny Onoo. Whether or not this means UWF will stay away from the Japenese style or not remains to be seen. NWA: Wildside was being used as a developmental promotion for WCW and as of now the contracts of Chris Harris, James Storm, Air Paris, AJ Styles, Cassidy O’Riley, Bob Sapp, Mark Johnson, and David Flair are up in the air.

LordJaguar Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 UWF presents Rebirth of Wrestling Lethal Ladies Tournament Preview: Very soon UWF will present Rebirth of Wrestling and it will feature a tournament to crown the first ever UWF Lethal Ladies Champion. Although UWF has 10 female competitors on its roster only 8 have been selected to compete for this honor. The following is a list of those women along with a small hype video from each one. Competitor #1 Allison Corino http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/AllisonCorino.jpg Hello, you may be asking yourself, “Who is Allison Corino?” Well, I’m the future UWF Lethal Ladies Champion. I’m the one woman none of you know, but none of you will ever be able to forget! This isn’t just my future, it’s my destiny! Competitor #2 Akira Hokuto http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/AkiraHokuto.jpg (Translated from Japanese) You’re looking at the greatest female wrestler of all time! I have dominated women’s wrestling in Japan and now I come to the USA to extend my dominance and prove indefinitely that I am the measuring stick of women’s wrestling. Competitor #3 Tracy Brookshaw http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/TracyBrookshaw.jpg Hello boys, Tracy Brookshaw here. You may not know me very well, but I am sure you know all about what I bring to UWF…T & A! You see I have the talent and ability to dominate each and every member of the UWF Lethal Ladies division and it will begin at Rebirth of Wrestling when I become the UWF Lethal Ladies Champion! Competitor #4 Mickie James http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/MickieJames.jpg Hi! The name is Mickie James and I’m sooo excited to be given this opportunity! I mean, I’m competing against seven of the best female wrestlers from around the world and if everything goes right, I will be the first UWF Lethal Ladies Champion. Competitor #5 Lauren Williams http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/LaurenWilliams.jpg You might take a look at me and say “She looks like a model not a wrestler.” Well, the fact is, I am a model…and a wrestler! Don’t judge me based solely on my looks, rather wait until you see me compete and judge me by my talent. Judge me by the fact that I am great in the ring and still look good doing it. After next week, I’m going to look even better wearing the UWF Lethal Ladies Championship. Competitor #6 Annie Social http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/AnnieSocial.jpg Sexy, sleazy, and willing to do whatever it takes to win. That is who I am, and that is why I will become the UWF Lethal Ladies Champion. You see, I know my place as a woman, but I also know how to use that to get ahead. Mwa! Competitor #7 Katarina Waters http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/Nikita.jpg No, I’m not here to insult the USA. You see, I may not be from this country but I recognize that this country has the best wrestling competition in the entire world. I may have been born in Germany, but I am not evil, no I am just like each and every one of you. I love baseball, apple pie, and good old fashioned wrasslin! I’m here to become the UWF Lethal Ladies Champion because I am the best among the best! Competitor #8 Daffney Unger http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Mukan_no_Teioh/UWF/Daffney.jpg AAAAAAAAAH! Finally, I get to do what I got into this business to do…break some pretty faces! AAAAAAAAAH! I can’t wait until I get my hands on the bunch of Barbies brought in to wrestle with me. I can’t wait….AAAAAAH! Forget the title, because I just want to hurt some girls….AAAAAAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeanOfWhipedCream Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It's an interesting line up for sure. Looking forward to see what you do with your womens division as I'm a big fan of womens wrestling. Been thinking about doing an all womens promotion diary actually. I think Akira Hokuto wins the whole thing and is your first champion but can't wait to see what you do with the likes of Daffney and Mickie James and Allison Corino. That's gonna take some getting used to I know that makes sense but I naturally want to put Danger.
