United Wrestling Network

[Vegas]

This new United Wrestling Network seems really cool, sort of like a new Indy territory system with a common champion.

the United Wrestling Network involves both Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, the local Las Vegas Indy fed Future Stars of Wrestling, and 7 other Indy feds around the country:

NEW SANCTIONING BODY FOR PRO WRESTLING ESTABLISHED

October 21, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, David Marquez of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood announced that he and eight (8) established pro wrestling promotions have come together to form “United Wrestling Network”. The existing local companies that will make up “United” are; West Coast Wrestling Connection (Oregon), Ultra Championship Wresting (Utah), Future Stars of Wrestling (Nevada), Championship Wrestling from Arizona, Traditional Championship Wrestling (Arkansas), Metro Pro Wrestling (Kansas), River City Wrestling (Texas), New York Wrestling Connection (New York) and New England Championship Wrestling (Massachusetts).

“This collection of Promoters is excited to build a new sanctioning body for pro wrestling. Our goal is to work within our local areas to create new talent, recognize a common “United” Champion and plus our broadcasts. Although the idea of a sanctioning body isn’t new, “United” is being executed with fresh eyes especially for the digital age. I know this is going to take time to launch and educate the public, but I’m positive the outcome will achieve our goals,” states Marquez.

The criteria for participating are simple. There is no “Membership”, “Franchise” or “Affiliate” fees. All sanctioned promotions must have a television broadcast or agree to terms to produce a broadcast to participate.

“FSW, UCW, CWFH, NECW, METRO and TCW all have existing broadcasts, so they will be included in the launch before the end of the year and the rest will launch in 2014 as we help them secure a television outlet in their area,” continued Marquez.

So basically it's like the NWA for promotions that either left the NWA, didn't want to be in the NWA or weren't wanted by the NWA.

I am surprised about Traditional Championship Wrestling. Local word is not good about them. Seems money problems and bad management are at it again. Don't expect them to last much longer.

Well, I am all for a over-arching body like this. It helps lend some credibility to all promotions involved. I don't really care for the name UWN though. Just doesn't sound quite right.
