PWInsider.com has confirmed the following talents for the first Urban Wrestling Federation PPV taping "First Blood", which is currently set for the first week of June in New York City:
*Homicide - Former ROH champion and TNA star and a proven draw in the NYC area. His inclusion brings immediate credibility among wrestling fans from a "street" perspective.
*Ruckus - Longtime member of CZW and nucleus of the BLK OUT group in that promotion, Ruckus has some really unique aerial moves. Very talented but has never been given a chance on a huge national platform. This will be his chance at that level.
*Will and Joel Maximo - Joel is heavier of the SAT Tag Team that first broke out in the early part of the decade. With Jose Maximo having left the business, Will Maximo, their younger brother, has slipped into his place and while still developing, has looked very good early on. This version of the Maximos had one of their best matches of their career just a few weeks ago at the CHIKARA King of Trios.
*Murder-1 - Longtime star in the Georgia independent scene. Similar to Ruckus, this will be his biggest platform from a national standpoint to date.
*Slyck Wagner Brown - For a long time, Brown has been a talent that upon first glance should have been locked up just based on his look alone nationally, but for whatever reason it has yet to happen. A longtime staple in the New England area, he's got a lot of experience under his belt and has been all over. This will be his biggest chance in some time.
Rappers Red Cafe, Russell "Block" Spencer and Uncle Murda are also locked in for the first PPV taping.
