Press Release
From: Paul Nitro- President of WWE
To: Members of press and fans of UWA
RE: Update
I want to take this time to thank all the fans of the UWA for their patience with me at this time. As everyone knows, I have been in a reconstruction period with the WWE brand and as of today, I am nearly complete with this restructuring. As of today, I am excited to make the following announcements:
1. I have decided to change the name of this organization back to its original roots and to distance itself from the previous owner and its history. So therefore, I am changing the name back to the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!
2. Our territorial area for promoting will solely be based out of the northeast that includes Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Maine. Also, I have successfully negotiated with promoter Frank Tunney to bring the WWE back to Canada as we will be doing shows in Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton in the near future.
3. As far as television and pay-per-view events goes, we will have two programs returning to syndication beginning on May 5th and they are ALL STAR WRESTLING, which the tapings will be held at the National Guard Armory in Dover, Delaware and CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING, which will have tapings in Allentown, PA. I am pleased to announce that Mark Lowrance will return as the host of both programs. As far as pay-per-views goes, we will be having 4 pay-per-views a year- ROYAL RUMBLE, WRESTLEMANIA, SUMMERSLAM and SURVIVOR SERIES. More info on the first pay-per-view back, Summerslam, in the near future.
4. We will be starting live house shows with the WWF beginning in Salisbury Maryland on March 12 and have live events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, except during tv tapings and before a pay-per-view.
5. When it becomes to championships, I have vacated all the titles and decided to start fresh by having tournaments to crown new champions. The WWF World Title tournament will take place on television with the first round beginning on May 5th. The WWE Tag Title Tournament will take place in Baltimore, Maryland at a live event on Sunday May 14th. The WWF Intercontinental Title Tournament will take place in a live event in Boston, Mass. on May 21st. Finally, the WWF Womens Title Tournament will take place in a live event in Philadelphia, PA on May 29th. The tournament pairings will be announced on television beginning on May 5th.
Thank you for your patience and looking forward to seeing everyone on May 5th.
