I was up last night (Friday) around 1 AM EST and I was flipping through the channels and saw wrestling on ESPN Classic. I was like "WTF". So I started watching it and I saw Mick Foley (Cactus Jack) wrestling somebody that I didn't know. Shortly there after, I saw Bob Orton cutting a promo. I also was Paul Orndoff on there as well.

The next set of shows is scheduled to be on Monday night at 1 AM EST on Classic.

So what do you think? Have you even seen the UWF? What are your thoughts?

Wait my mate has one of their DVD's, "It's War!". Cactus Jack wrestled against Don Muraco. It was just another promotion in the early 90's that came and went, but it did help to establish Mick Foley as Cactus Jack, and his manuevers...

I seen it, and it was straight up terrible. Its boring, and only shows one match and promo (usually).

Than again all wrestling on tv lately has been terrible, so maybe Its just me.

I think Vince re-air Monday Night Raw and Nitro from the 90's on ESPN Classic, not on there WWE 24/7, just so he can remind fans that wrestling was once good.

^LOL, yeah, but back in the mid and late 90's, wrestling was edgy and iffy to the regular people. This 80's style is more of sports and not entertainment if you know what I mean. I'm sure Vince wouldn't mind, it's just a question of would ESPN let him, and the answer would obviously be no.

I watched the first few just because of curiousity, then I deleted them all from my tivo because it is completly unwatchable, great talent that is hideously booked and produced.
