Has this been airing long? And why hasn't anybody told me?  I was bored during Raw and was flipping around and found two back to back episodes of UWF on ESPN Classic last night at 10, and apparently, based on the cable listing, it's every weeknight at 10. It's the mid 90s version, and the main even of the second episode was Cactus Jack Vs. David Sammartino. |

Isn't this Herb Abram's UWF? Yuck! It it were Bill Watts' UWF, I'd be ecstatic. I guess Vince owns that footage though.

Watts' UWF would be THE crap. Gilbert, Russians, Taylor, Sting, Studd, DiBiase, Freebirds, and the "Cowboy" himself.

I wasn't sure if Bill Watts still owned the footage, or if Vince did since the UWF became part of Jim Crockett Promotions in the late 80s, and that is all in the WCW library.

Vince actually doesn't own that.. indeed. one of the few classic libraries he doesn't. Just got 10 discs of "The Top 150 matches of Mid South history" in yesterday afternoon for the newest Death Valley Driver voting ballot. Anything up to 87 is still Watts. |

Mid South was bad ass. Long live Bill Watts. |

Yeah I watched it last night, Jimmy Valiant looked like he probably stabbed a guy, went to jail for 10 years and became a wrestler. He also looked like he was wearing a diaper.

Although the booking was horrible, Herb Abrams' UWF definitely listed a who's who of professional wrestling with the names he used.

The other night they showed B. Brian Blair vs. Louie Spicolli (known back then as "Cutie Pie"), and Steve "Dr. Death" Williams vs. Paul Orndorff.
Definitely not a great show quality-wise, but it's fun to watch old footage of these guys besides the same old clip packages you see in WWE DVDs, etc.
Speaking of bad booking... they had Cowboy Bob Orton playing babyface and chumming around with Captain Lou Albano. WTF.

"Cowboy" Bob was never and could never be a face. Not in my mind anyway. He'll always be a heel when I remember him. Him and his trademark cast were classic. |

Cactus Jack Vs. David Sammartino wasn't too bad of a match

BTW, Jimmy Valiant was awesome about 5 years prior to this. Anyone know how Herb Abrahms died? He got coked up, started running around a hotel pulling fire alarms and had a heart attack. Sounds like he had good times.

I taped the episodes from two nights ago, the outdoor Universal Studios taping and the indoor NY one, and it was pretty horrible.
Not even seeing Paul Orndorff, Bob Orton, B. Brian Blair and Bam Bam Bigelow could save those shows.
