There was an audio glitch around 22 mins that I clipped out. Should be a seemless transition. Thank you.

Defunct Championship Wrestling Episode 14: Herb Abrams Universal Wrestling Federation.

In the fall of 1990, a new wrestling promotion burst onto the scene with aspirations of being the next big thing. What followed over the next 4 years was embarrassing failure after embarrassing failure. In the process, the promoter, Herb Abrams, became one of the most notorious figures in wrestling history.

We've all heard about the substances, the partying, and bounced checks. This is story of everything else that combined to create the disastrous cocktail of the Universal Wrestling Federation.

CORRECTIONS:

- The "Ross" in the "Abrams/Ross" ending title card refers to Arnold Ross, Herbs original partner. He didn't last long with the company and to me he wasn't an interesting part of the story, so I didn't mention him.

- I'm aware that I forgot an apostrophe in the word "didn't" in a Brian Ricco quote that appears on screen.

- It has been brought to my attention that I mistook Cheif Jay Strongbow in UWF as the real deal. It is infact Cheif Jay "Jr." Can't believe I overlooked such a carny move!
