Trivia / Universal Wrestling Federation USWF

• Amateur Cast: The first show, nobody who competed, except Steve Nelson got paid. Most of them were also former amateur wrestlers.
• Fountain of Expies: During its run, a few short-lived minor Texas-based MMA promotions spawn to cash-in on its success like the International Shoot Wrestling Federation, World Shoot Wrestling Alliance, American Shoot Wrestling Association, PSDA, Amarillo Shootfighting, World Class Shootfighting, etc. None of them reached the success of the USWF.
• Sleeper Hit: Was one of the most popular MMA promotions in its time, despite being limited to Amarillo and West Texas and having no television deal or pay per views.
