For those of you who watched the Dark Side of the Ring documentary on the late Herb Abrams and his incarnation of the Universal Wrestling Federation, you are in luck.

A new book Tortured Ambition: The Story of Herb Abrams and the UWF was officially released on September 11th by author Jonathan Plombon.

Promotional material for the book notes:

Herb Abrams started the Universal Wrestling Federation with the intent to topple the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Entering the business draped in mystery, no one knew where he came from. In 1990, the UWF started with Steve Williams, Brian Blair, Paul Orndorff, Mick “Cactus Jack” Foley* and a bevy of other superstars on SportsChannel America. Six years later, Herb Abrams was dead. He left behind a trail of myths and tall tales of prostitutes and cocaine. But who was the real Herb Abrams? Author Jonathan Plombon brings you 50 exclusive interviews with those who knew him personally such as Brian Blair, Steve Ray, Sunny Beach, Col. DeBeers, Missy Hyatt, and many, many more. Questions are finally answered.

The book can be ordered right now at this link.
