Did anyone here ever go to the UWA Hardcore Wrestling shows they used to have in Mississauga/Bolton a few years back? I used to go to those shows (usually wearing my old The LAW 100% Kayfabe Free shirt) and they were always a good time. They's usually have a few TNA & ROH wrestlers on their shows. I saw Mouth at a few shows and saw Jay & Wai at one too. I miss those shows.

Agreed.
Those guys worked really hard and we got to see several guys that are now bigger stars like the Motor City Machine Guns in their early days.
They even brought in Ultimo Dragon at one point!!
Sadly, the money ran out and they had to close down the promotion, but it was great while it lasted.

Yeah, I was at one of the UWA shows to see Ultimo Dragon vs Jushin Thunder Liger. That was awesome.

Yeah, I went to a couple of shows UWA did at the Church gymnasium on Mavis and Dundas, I think it was called St. John's Hall. Great shows, I really liked the venue too, especially the balcony seat.

I believe the story was the locals got regulations changed so they couldn't use that venue anymore. Things started to go downhill for the promotion after that. The move to Downsview didn't work out and then they wrapped up in Bolton. I really enjoyed the promotion - where else on a consistent basis could I express my displeasure at Alex Shirley. Plus I fulfilled a dream by being able to see Ultimo Dragon perform live.

I really miss UWA. Did they ever release their last show on DVD? I was there live but I have always wanted to rewatch the last show on DVD. I have never actually seen a copy for sale.

UWA is coming back, just not sure when. john (Osiris) has been blogging everyday about the former UWA in a sort of countdown to the new UWA.
