Added DiffLines:

* TheGift: He may not have been the most muscular wrestler, but he had had double tendons, something that cannot even be acheived through surgery. This meant he could legitimately defeat most opponents by simply grabbing them, make people give up to a test of strength or even a handshake.

* NoBudget: Unlike PWFG, who had a major sponsor in Megane Super, or RINGS, who had a TV contract with WOWOW, UWFI struggled financially in its beginnings and only got off the ground since they had most of the original staff from Newborn to get the fans to sell out their events. They even ran out of money once and had to contact Newborn President Shinji Jin (despite vowing never to work with him again), and use him as a middleman to work out some financing from Hachiro Tanaka of Megane Super.
