A real shame this is pretty much the one territory WWE doesn't own the video rights to, would love to see a DVD of them put together.
-
GREATEST THEME EVER!

@philaman1972 Philly here, too, and I remember those days fondly and miss them terribly. The main reason why I was drawn to the UWF was because of the absence of the aforesaid cartoon crap of the WWF. The Fabulous Freebirds, The Fantastics, The Missing Link, Dark Journey, Missy Hyatt, and Jim Ross (when he could actually call a match) - I loved them all. They made wrestling enjoyable to watch.

This was the Hottest Wrestling Intro EVER !!!!! Takes me back to the Summer of 1986 in Brooklyn when UWF used to come on @ 7pm Sat nites on U-68 after they show music videos.

@Philaman1972 that was so true I really miss those saturday mornings on 57. Too bad the UWF didnt have a show here in philly.

UWF was worth staying up late the good ole days!!
-
@arkie74 He was called "Flash" right after they became the BladeRunners in Memphis. Before that they were Jim and Steve of the Freedom Force. I don't think they ever referred to him as "Flash" in Mid-South/UWF. He was always "Sting" in Mid-South. In fact, the first time or two that I saw them, I don't even think Mid-South/UWF acknowledged their names. They were just "The BladeRunners". But then, they were identified as "Rock" and "Sting".

@drc2311 Sting was already Sting before Rock left. He was only called "Falsh" for a few weeks in Memphis. In Mid-South, he was "Sting".
-
@drc2311 I thought he was always sting? cause i remember ther debut as rock and sting mang. by eddie gilbert,iv never heard of him refered to as flash.



To this day, the best wrestling federation of all time. In 1986, Mid-South/UWF moved to Saturday nights on channel 57 here in Philly after a short stint on low-powered channel 61. Anyway, I was so blown away by the fast-paced action, the electricity of Jim Ross, and the hardcore angles as compared to the cartoonish WWF. Jim Ross would frequently scream "we're inside 60 seconds of air time" as the best match or angle of the show would be cut off with no time left. Man, I miss those days.
