that herb abrams doc was str8 up late '80s/early '90s like a muhfu**a.
from the clips/graphics all the way down to the wild drugs/sex stories.
low-key one of the better eps. i never realized that herb abrams/UWF made so much noise. i thought it was just some exclusive chit for sports channel wrestling fans.
you buggin.
this chit is great.
and theyre digging deep in the crates. i'd prefer episodes like these instead of owen hart and other stuff that we already get beat over the head with.

The thought of UWF flopping at the MGM Grand while AEW sold it out a couple of decades later is....
though.
whats crazy is how AEW is similar to the UWF in how they started off making power moves at the top.
thats where the similarities end tho.
different eras.
bishoff took over WCW nearly a decade after that incident.
Wait. Was the UWF on ESPN after the AWA deal ended? I think I remember my pops watching this fukkery
nah
UWF was on sports channel.
ESPN had the GWF.
Only $14.95
the good ole days
WWF & WCW ppvs were only about $5 more.
i dont know.
the classic wrestling series on pay-per view re-aired beach brawl and had another UWF special back in like 2004.
and about 10 years ago, ESPN Classic was running old episodes and UWF marathons.
This episode was dope, didn’t know most of the stuff heard the name when reading about it but didn’t really have a full understanding of the story.

MORE fukkING COCAINE
I wonder if the infamous video of The Road Warriors, Sting, and Lex Luger snorting coke will be used?

I caught the UWF episode last night 
The episode by and large was less about the UWF and more about Herb Abrams, which was only right. UWF seemed like a decent enough little fed but didn’t stand out much at all minus running a venue like the MGM or having a young Mick Foley on their roster. In the grand scheme they were just another fed trying (and ultimately failing) to go against the juggernaut that was the WWF.
What the centerpiece of the episode was about was Herb and his exploits, which was how it should’ve been because dude was a complete 80’s caricature. Dude seemed like a Vice City character in real life, right down to the copious amounts of hookers and blow. It’s a shame that didn’t translate to UWF TV in the entertaining way it did in this episode, because who knows, maybe that would’ve taken off in a big way. This little 5 foot tall cokehead was so enigmatic and larger than life that he was able to cut checks to his wrestlers naked and zooted surrounded by prostitutes, make a title belt that told Vince to fukk off, get shook down over a balcony like he was signed to Death Row, have a pure white dog named Kokie, and have a death so ridiculous it creates urban legends and has grown men openly break down on camera almost 25 years after the fact. This guy was fukkery in cowboy boots
I’d love to see a Wolf of Wall Street style biopic based on him down the line. The best episode(s) of the season still remain to be the Benoit ones but this was atleast informative and entertaining if nothing else

That would be a great episode. Lots of stories of her getting banged out by the Kliq, supposedly fukking for drugs, Candido knowing about it and being so beat down by it. All the craziness from Smokey Mountain and ECW. The arrests and the porn. Candido's death.
