UPW
Owner
Rick Bassman
Comments:
From the earliest days of Ultimate Pro Wrestling, Rick
Bassman has let the fans and the wrestlers know that HE
holds the ULTIMATE POWER in UPW.
Rick's
shown his authority in numerous ways throughout the
history of UPW - from the early days -- smashing a clipboard over the
head of Sylvester "The Escapee", to forcing
Funky Billy Kim and Troubled Youth to wrestle under
the dubious name "Jobbers-R-Us", to stripping
"Mad Dog" Mike Bell of his UPW championship,
to the present times, which included his victory (as a
fan favorite no less!) over Pete Doyle at UPW's historic
5th Anniversary Show to retain sole control of UPW.
Behind
the scenes, Rick has taken UPW and Ultimate University
from a fledgling wrestling school, to one of the world's
most successful up-and-coming professional
wrestling organizations in the world. Recent highlights
for Rick and his family of companies include:
* Signing
over twenty people to the WWF/WWE.
* Sending over 40 UPW
wrestlers to compete at Zero-One in Japan.
* Winning
the UPW vs. NFL Toughman Competition.
* Featuring UPW/UU in
several documentaries, including highly rated 1-hour
specials on The Discovery Channel and The Learning
Channel.
* Landing
his clients roles on commercials, feature films, and
TV shows.
Truly,
Rick has demonstrated his Ultimate Power over the past
year - the power to build a successful empire, both
in the ring and out.
