Wiki.
Blackjack Brawl was the first and only major live television supercard event produced by Herb Abrams' Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF). The event took place on September 23, 1994 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and aired live on SportsChannel America. The event was a successor to UWF's only pay-per-view event, Beach Brawl.
Eleven professional wrestling matches were contested on the card. The main event was a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship, with champion Steve Williams defending the title against Sid Vicious. Nine of the matches at the event were championship matches; all championships contested at the event were either new championships, vacant prior to the event, or (in the case of two championships whose matches ended inconclusively) had been awarded on the night. New champions crowned included the Americas Championship, the Junior Heavyweight Championship, the Midget World Championship, the MGM Grand Championship and the World Tag Team Championship. The vacant SportsChannel Television Championship and the vacant Women's World Championship were also decided at the event. The two non-title matches at the event were a lumberjack match between Cactus Jack and Jimmy Snuka and a singles match between Samson and The Irish Assassin.
Despite implications during the broadcast that a follow-up event would happen, Blackjack Brawl would stand as the last event produced by UWF.
