The Universal Wrestling Federation was owner Bill Watts' attempt at taking his Mid-South Wrestling promotion to a national level in 1986. The attempt failed and in 1987, Watts sold the promotion to Jim Crockett Promotions and it became part of what would later be known as World Championship Wrestling. The promotion had started out as an NWA Territory known as NWA Tri-State founded by Leroy McGuirk in the 1950s. Tri-State promoted in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, the same area that Watts's Mid-South wrestling ran in before attempting to go national. In 1990, Herb Abrams started an unrelated wrestling promotion with the same name.
A former territory wrestler who was blinded in a 1950 auto accident, Leroy McGuirk eventually took over promoting a wrestling circuit that covered Oklahoma, Louisiana and Mississippi. Until 1973, Watts had been a fan favorite for Tri-State Wrestling. After a short break in Eddie Graham's Championship Wrestling from Florida, he returned to Tri-State in 1975.
This is the Bill Watts version of the UWF, so everyone knows. Great stuff here
Blackjack Brawl was the UWF's first and only live television event that aired on SportsChannel America.
UWF直撃世代にはUWFと聞くだけで血が騒ぎます。もはや宗教のレベルです。問答無用にUWFは最高です!まーえーだ!まーえーだ!

What can you say about Herb Abrams' UWF? Nothing good, I'm afraid. Here is the (VHS release) first and only pay per view he put on... watching the card, you'll probably understand why. The card took place on June 9th, emanating from Palmetto, Florida. Almost no one bought it as a pay per view. I'm guessing not a lot of people bought it as a VHS, either. Your card: The Blackhearts w/ Luna Vachon vs Jim Cooper and the Fire Cat Terry Gordy vs Johnny Ace in a "street fight" Mass (Mask? They're billed as both, but I seem to remember them billing billed as Mask or Masked Confusion on actual UWF TV) Confusion (aka the Killer Bees) vs The Power Twins Rockin' Robin vs Candi Devine Col. DeBeers vs Paul Orndorff in a strap match Bob Backlund (they call him BACKLAND twice) vs Ivan Koloff Cactus J...
If I could see you would you still give me
