History

On October 21, 2013, David Marquez, promoter of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, announced the creation of a new governing body for professional wrestling. It is a plan for televised groups to work together and pool resources to help secure national advertising campaigns across the Network and also share in recognizing a UWN champion, who would travel through the groups similar to how the old NWA champion did in the territory era. The criteria for participating are simple - there is no “membership”, “franchise”, or “affiliate” fees. All sanctioned promotions must have a television broadcast or agreement to produce a broadcast in place to participate.

In the summer of 2014, CWFH announced a tournament to crown the first UWN World Heavyweight Champion.[2]

gollark: Wasn't there that thing with a very unproven Alzheimer's medication just recently?
gollark: I don't think Christianity says much at all about technology. Cultural values accreted around it, maybe.
gollark: Maybe? I don't know. There are lots of possible societal organization schemes.
gollark: If you don't actually fix the relevant incentive structures, harsh punishments will just make things be secret and hard to regulate.
gollark: I'm sure the new ones will be better, as there are no general structural problems.
