| UWA
started as an idea between two men, Trace Aber and Scott Highland.
Friends in high school, they discussed the idea of starting a local
wrestling federation and each of them had another friend who was
interested. Trace had Joe, or the future Joe Outlaw, while Scott had
Jeremy, the future Gage. The four of them would make up the original
UWA Quartet.
Calypso became the
first champion and dominated the company for over a year with the
championship, eventually making the championship an Undisputed
title. He would lost it to Gage in the summer of 2005 before quickly
winning it back due to Gage not defending his championship enough.
Slavins became the fourth champion in January of 2006 and go on to
hold it until what was supposed to the be last match in UWA history,
Homosexual Homicide, to Calypso, making him a three time Undisputed
Champion.
Calypso and
Marvelous Mike Moros, however, were not satisfied with ending things
there, and instead invaded another rival fed known as Union
Championship (UCW). Calypso attacked UCW Heavyweight Champion Josh
Bobb and became the first ever double champion in UWA history by
defeating Josh Bobb for the UWA Heavyweight Champion. UWA and UCW
would feud for almost a year in a war that injured Scott Slavins and
Gage permanently, and JD Marshall, The Sarge, and the General
temporarily. The feud came to a climax with Team UWA defeating Team
UCW in the first ever Six Man Warfare match that saw UCW-member The
Bear turn and join the UWA to allow Calypso to be the sole-survivor
for Team UWA.
Prototype emerged
as the UWA Undisputed Champion after the UCW/UWA war and held the
title all summer before losing to JD Marshall in September 2007, who
then lost the title to Josh Bobb no less than four minutes later.
Josh Bobb went on to hold the championship until April 2008 when
David Chaos won the title in a Five Way Ladder Match.
Nobody can say
quite for sure what the future has in store for UWA and its
wrestlers but it can safely be said that this may be the most
chaotic time in UWA history. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
