UWF 1987-05-30

Not really a "lost" episode. This is just one that hasn't found its way up on to the internet. Highlights include: Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Bob Orton (they would later have a rematch on the Universal Studios show), Afa vs. Carmine Albano (Lou's nephew), a Power Twins interview, and Herb Abrams on an edition of Ask the Wrestlers.

Keep the UWF alive!
