UPW is pleased to announce that it has entered into a North American distribution deal for DVD Titles. In early August, six UPW titles will simultaneously hit the shelves of major retailers nationwide.

Four of the six titles -- "Shockwave," "Rage at The River," "Reunion" and "Home of The Brave" are comprised primarily of all-star, action-packed UPW shows which took place in California and Nevada over the past year. "Future Shock, Volumes 1 and 2" feature UPW stars doing battle against such wrestling luminaries as Rob Van Dam, Shinya Hashimoto, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Tommy Dreamer, Juventud Guererra, John Cena and The Road Warriors.

Each of these six great shows contain lots of UPW in-ring action, as well as tons of extras, like the provocative "Vixens' View," "UPW at Zero-One in Japan" and specially- commissioned "In The Pit with Pier" segments, featuring UPW Superstars.

UPW first came to national prominence through TV specials like The Discovery Channel's "On The Inside: Pro Wrestling School" and The Learning Channel's "Bodyslam: The Making of A Pro Wrestler", through its association with WWE and Zero-One, and through its defeat of the NFL on FX's "Team Toughman."

"We've worked very hard over the past five years to establish an identity for UPW," says Company President Rick Bassman. "This DVD release is an important step in our evolution and in our quest to deliver UPW to more wrestling and sports entertainment fans."

"The 'beauty' of an undertaking like this," Bassman continues, "is that with almost no budget, --with editors Sonicfish working virtually around the clock for 2 months-- we're able to deliver a product that I'm positive fans will find entertaining, action and extras packed, and most of all, more than worth every penny. Further, it's also a great showcase for such talented UPW mainstays as Tom Howard, Sylvester Terkay, Hardkore Kidd, Frankie Kazarian, Keiji Sakoda, Skulu, The Ballards and many others who have been with us from the beginning, and who should go on to make big impacts at WWE and Zero-One."

The UPW titles are produced by Rick Bassman Enterprises and Sonicfish Werlcast Productions Inc., with hands-on collaboration by UPW Writer/Commentator Todd Keneley.

The titles will appear on the shelves of major retailers throughout the North America this July.

Four specially commissioned "In The Pit with Piper" segments, featuring UPW Stars appear in UPW's first DVD release of six titles. The above photo was taken during production of some of these segments.
