Former ECW Official Launching New Promotion

Former ECW General Manager Steve Karel is launching a new wrestling venture - The Urban Wrestling Federation - later this year.

The concept for the UWF will be to mesh hardcore, gritty pro wrestling with hip hop music and culture. One person described it to me as "ECW meets Urban Underground."

Karel, who has been distributing a number of PPV events in recent years, including King of the Cage MMA and WEW Women's Wrestling, has already cleared deals with several PPV carriers and is currently in the early stages of negotiations with a national cable outlet.

The promotion will officially launch it's website at www.UrbanWrestlingFederation.com shortly and are currently soliciting talent information and demo reels. Interested parties can find more information by going to the promotion's website.
