The UWA has been practically silent on the
internet since December 20, 2007, but that does
not mean that the UWA has been dead this entire
time. In fact, UWA has been more active than
ever and a lot has changed so do not read on if
you do not want any spoilers and would rather
wait for the videos to be posted and watch them
yourselves.
On December 31, 2007, we saw the return of UWA Hall of Famer Joe
Outlaw make a return for one night only and participate in a huge
eight-man elimination match that also featured Josh Bobb, Calypso,
Prototype, JD Marshall, Big Daddy A, Cecil, and a Douchebag. The
final two men standing were the UWA Undisputed Champion Josh Bobb
and the Hall of Fame inductee Joe Outlaw and the two battled until
Calypso and Big Daddy A came out (after they were both eliminated by
Joe Outlaw) and attacked both men, causing the match to end in a
draw. Not happy with that outcome, Josh Bobb offered Joe Outlaw a
singles match right then and there for the title and in the end it
was Josh Bobb picking up the victory on Joe Outlaw in a historic
battle. Unfortunately, this match was taped in extreme darkness and
it's likely that the footage will never see the light of day, since,
well, there is no light.
UWA kicked off 2008 on January 16, 2008, and also with a huge
shocking upset when JD Marshall defeated the man he injured,
Calypso, in singles action, earning himself a title shot later in
the night. Prototype battled Josh Bobb in singles action with Josh
Bobb coming out on top and in the main event Josh Bobb defeated JD
Marshall in a tables match to retain the Undisputed Championship
despite Prototype doing everything to help his tag team partner out.
Just ten days later, Josh Bobb would defend his Undisputed
Championship in an epic sixty-five minute match against Calypso,
Prototype, and JD Marshall. By the end of the match, Josh Bobb and
Prototype were bleeding and Calypso was covered in their blood. The
finish came when Josh Bobb forced Calypso to tap out to the Brippler
Bobbface in one of the most historic battles in UWA history.
On February 18, 2008, HPV made his return by defending his
Hardcore championship against Suzuki Sanchez and Jumping Geppetto in
a successful effort. Down Syndrome was scheduled to take on the team
of Bobberal but Bobb's partner, the General, shockingly refused to
show up forcing Bobb to take on the tag team champions on his own.
Prototype picked up the pinfall on the champion, upsetting his
partner, JD Marshall. Larry Ito defended his championship against
the debuting Golga Jr. in a great Jobber match up that saw Golga
succumbing to the Lariat 69. In our main event of the evening,
Calypso defeated JD Marshall in a street fight after brawling all
over the UWA arena and even inside a fan's car. The series was tied
1-1.
On March 02, 2008, Team UWA (Calypso, Prototype, and JD Marshall)
traveled to DWC to battle against DWC's best in Lil' Shank, Kevon,
and George. Prototype defeated Kevon by DQ after Lil' Shank
interfered and Calypso was also successful in defeating George. JD
Marshall came up in a losing effort against Lil' Shank but the two
put on a terrific match. The main event came when Team UWA took on
Team DWC in the second Six Man Warfare match that saw Team UWA come
out on top again with Calypso eliminating Lil' Shank last to pick up
the victory for Team UWA.
On March 12, 2008, UWA Tag Team Champions Down Syndrome granted
Bobberal another shot at the tag titles and this time The General
did show up though he saw action sparsely, forcing Bobb to
practically fend for himself in a losing effort after the General
simply walked out on his partner. Prototype and JD Marshall got into
an argument after the match and came to fisticuffs and a match was
set up between the two champions later in the evening. In the second
rematch of the night, Larry Ito defeated Golga Jr. yet again to
retain his Jobber Championship. JD Marshall managed to defeat
Prototype after Josh Bobb interfered on Prototype's behalf and then
Larry Ito saved JD Marshall and allowed him to get the pinfall. It
was announced that at the next show, JD Marshall and Larry Ito would
take on Josh Bobb and Prototype to determine the new tag team
champions. Backstage, Suzuki Sanchez attacked UWA Hardcore Champion
HPV from behind but ended up regretting the decision as he was
buried alive by the champion. In the main event of the evening and
for being the sole survivor of the Six Man Warfare Match,
Calypso took on Josh Bobb for the Undisputed Championship. It looked
at though Calypso was going to win his fourth Undisputed
Championship when Prototype attacked Calypso and allowed Josh Bobb
to cover his opponent. Prototype and Josh Bobb officially dubbed
themselves The Hardcore Mafia after the match.
One week later, Prototype debuted the Protopit with his first
guest being Danbury, a mannequin. After some harsh words from
Prototype, JD Marshall attacked the host until he was outnumbered
when Josh Bobb joined. Larry Ito came out to even things up and the
four began their tag team match but in the end it was the Hardcore
Mafia winning the disputed gold after Prototype pinned Larry Ito. We
then saw the return of former UWA Co-General Manager K-Fed who
debuted his newest wrestler, Bowel Movement. The two cut a promo and
promised to take over the UWA. Calypso took on former tag partner
Big Daddy A in a "First to Dropkick" match that ended with Calypso
hitting a huge dropkick on the big man. In the main event, Josh Bobb
defeated JD Marshall in a street fight to retain his Undisputed
Championship.
The next week UWA would hold its Money in the Bank show, this
time under tournament rules. The first round saw Josh Bobb defeated
Larry Ito, a returning David Chaos defeating Jumping Geppetto, JD
Marshall defeating a debuting Mimic, and Calypso beating Golga Jr.
In the second round, Josh Bobb defeated David Chaos while JD
Marshall pinned Calypso after a surprise JKO out of nowhere. Bowel
Movement made his wrestling debut by defeating Suzuki Sanchez in
just 30 seconds, making a huge impact in the UWA. In the tournament
finals, JD Marshall defeated Josh Bobb to win the second Money in
the Bank granting him the ability to demand a title shot for any
title at any time.
Just three days later, on March 29, 2008, we returned to the UCW
arena and opened the show with Calypso pulling the UCW Heavyweight
Championship out from under his jacket. He then announced that, in
honor of wrestling at UCW arena, he will defend the title in the
first ever UCW Gauntlet match featuring himself, Josh Bobb, JD
Marshall, Larry Ito, HPV, Golga Jr, AT Alien, Mimic, Elian Gonzalez
III, Suzuki Sanchez, and Jumping Geppetto. While Larry Ito started
off impressively, going through three matches, Mimic dethroned him.
Mimic was then eliminated by Golga Jr. after he was viciously
attacked by HPV. Golga Jr. did not last long, however, as Calypso
came out. Calypso then went through Jumping Geppetto and AT Alien
before JD Marshall came out and the two battled for nearly 15
minutes before Calypso got the pinfall. Josh Bobb came out last and
him and Calypso wrestled for twenty minutes before Calypso got the
pinfall out of nowhere to retain the UCW Heavyweight Champion,
though by the end of the match Calypso was spitting up blood. Just
as Calypso began to celebrate, JD Marshall's music hit and Mr. Money
in the Bank cashed in his title shot for the UCW Heavyweight
Championship and two JKOs later we had a brand new UCW Heavyweight
Champion.
On April 02, 2008, the Protopit opened the show with special
guest Calypso. Prototype and Calypso exchanged heated words and both
men agreed to a match later in the evening. The opening match saw
Larry Ito barely beat Mimic to retain his Jobber Championship. JD
Marshall then defended his UCW Heavyweight Championship to any
challenger which brought out UWA Hardcore Champion HPV. Marshall won
by reversing a You've Just Been Infected! with the JKO. After
the match, Mimic came out and brawled with HPV which prompted Suzuki
Sanchez to come out and all three men brawled to the back. Josh Bobb
defended his championship in a four way elimination match against
Jumping Geppetto, Golga Jr., and Elian Gonzalez III and he quickly
eliminated all three men. After the match, The General returned and
attacked Josh Bobb from behind. JD Marshall then came out and
challenged the General to a match for the UCW Heavyweight
Championship to which the General agreed to. Their match ended in a
double DQ, however, when Josh Bobb came out and attacked both of
them with a steel chair. In the main event of the evening, Calypso
defeated Prototype after reversing a clothesline into a Virgin
Slayer.
April 16, 2008, saw one of the most epic nights in UWA history.
In the opening match, Josh Bobb defeated JD Marshall in an I Quit
match when JD Marshall passed out in the Brippler Bobbface, unable
to answer the call. Prototype challenged Calypso to a rematch saying
that his endurance is better than Calypso's and the challenge was
made for the first ever Sixty-Minute Ironman match in UWA history.
Calypso accepted and the two put on one of the greatest matches in
UWA history. Prototype received a dislocated shoulder from the match
and Calypso an injured calf. This was a match that saw wild
brawling, great chain wrestling, and even thumbtacks. In the end,
however, it was Calypso coming out on top yet again.
On April 25, 2008, UWA held it's first ever Climb Up event where
every title was defended in a ladder match. In the opening match the
Hardcore Mafia defeated MDC in a tag team ladder match to retain
their tag team championships. Larry Ito defeated Golga Jr. in a
Jobber Ladder match after a Lariat 69 from the top of the ladder! In
a shocking moment, Suzuki Sanchez defeated HPV and Mimic in the
triple threat hardcore ladder match to become the new Hardcore
Champion. Even more shocking, however, was when it was revealed that
Prototype was under the Suzuki Sanchez mask! In the main event of
the evening, David Chaos won the Undisputed Championship after
defeating Josh Bobb, Calypso, JD Marshall, and Prototype in a Five
Man Ladder match. Team MDC exploded during the match with Chaos and
Calypso coming to blows multiple times throughout the match. After
the show, Calypso cut an impassioned promo against his former
partner demanding that Chaos gives him the title show he deserves.
Chaos retorts saying he will announce his first challenger at the
next show.
On May 02, 2008, David Chaos had JD Marshall, Prototype, Josh
Bobb, and Calypso all come out one by one and plead their case as to
why they should get a title shot at the Undisputed Championship. In
the end, however, Chaos picked jobber Golga Jr. to the shock and
dismay of many. In the opening match of the night, Prototype
defeated JD Marshall in an amazing hardcore match that ended with a
Protoshock through a table. JD Marshall challenged Prototype to a
best of seven series for the Hardcore championship and the champion
accepted. Calypso defeated Josh Bobb in a rematch from their match
in March in the semi-main event of the evening. In the biggest match
of his young career, Golga Jr. took on David Chaos for the
Undisputed Championship in a losing effort after tapping out to the
Chaos Lock. Calypso cut a promo after the show saying that Chaos can
only run for so long.
