Cory's USWA History: Title Histories & 2004-Early 2008

[Cory Olson]

I'm starting to copy over my original thread from the GBITG.

I love that your fed has such a rich history. Mine always peters out after a couple years.

[Cory Olson]

Thanks, Havoc!

While my memory isn't always the best, I do try to give my fed as complete of a history as possible. That's why I like keeping threads like this one, as well as saving files with other history.

[Cory Olson]

Hey gang! While I haven't added any new posts in nearly nine years to this thread, if you look at every title history, I have still been updating things after every successful title defense. I decided to go back and write up some short recaps from the start of every card of my USWA's history. I am going to write some short recaps of how the USWA got started and then do all of the card results that were never posted on this discussion board until I'm caught up until my first results in 2008. I will provide some behind the scenes background on a few posts as well. I have a few recaps already written and will post those soon. I hope you guys enjoy!
