Episode 15: UWF Blackjack Brawl 1994

Probably one of the most fun podcasts the Marks have recorded, they're focusing on an absolutely insane and terrible show. After "Dark Side of the Ring" on Vice TV covered the life of Herb Abrams, the Marks have been wanting to talk about him and his Universal Wrestling Federation. The cocaine-and-hooker-addicted Abrams wanted to compete with Vince McMahon's WWF, but could never get the fledgling UWF truly past first base. He had SOME talent, but most of that was buried. Blackjack Brawl was a colossal failure for many reasons and was absolutely brutal to watch, but it was a hilarious piece of history to cover. The Marks also talk about the early days of the UFC, where dirt rag writers thought it was all fake. Also, Jim Cornette goes off on a former SMW employee for stealing his gimmick!
