John Pollock & Wai Ting review UWF Blackjack Brawl (1994) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas; the final event held by Herb Abrams’ ill-famed wrestling promotion.
They discuss the circumstances leading to the UWF’s brief return in 1994 following the non-renewal of its television deal, the massive commercial and critical failure of the event, the card’s endless supply of championships, ring announcer Steve Rossi’s pronunciation of “Divine”, the career of Tyler Mane, Cactus Jack vs. Jimmy Snuka, and more.
Espresso Executive Producer Bruce Lord joins us to discuss his selection before going through the Trivia Gauntlet.
