The Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) was a "Lucha Libre" company in Mexico with the greatest worldwide recognition and prestige, always characterized by bringing world-class stars, such as Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Antonio Inoki, Lou Thesz, etc. Its founders always sought to create a global alliance and that the UWA has global reach and recognition, although it was not so famous in the USA, It was in Japan where so far they fight for their belts despite the fact that UWA closed in 1995.

 

This dynasty begins in 1980 (the golden era of Mexican wrestling) and I will try to make the UWA reach the Global level, which UWA always wanted.

Ironically enough im half Mexican and know almost nothing about Mexican wrestling. There's a few people im familiar enough with, but not enough. Hopefully my predictions aren't too bad lol. Good luck with this.</p>

That Main Event should be a banger. I guess the Villano's might get a pin on Babe Face (never El Santo). People forget how great Jeet & Dos Caras were - they were fantastic old school heels.</p>
