Inside the Ring: The Cowboy Bill Watts Chronicles - (Part 2 1984-1987 UWF)

Welcome back to "Inside the Ring: The Cowboy Bill Watts Chronicles - Part 2," where we continue our deep dive into the career of wrestling legend Cowboy Bill Watts. In this second episode, we explore Watts' ambitious national expansion to compete with Vince McMahon's WWF by creating the Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF).
Despite the best efforts of Jim Ross in securing top-tier television deals nationwide, the UWF faced insurmountable challenges due to an economic downturn in the oil states, Watts' home base. Listen as Cowboy Bill Watts recounts the rise and fall of the UWF, the innovative ideas that shaped the promotion, and the tough decisions he had to make, including selling everything to Jim Crockett Promotions.
