"If you think that pro wrestling—with it's soap opera story arcs, fake moves and silly costumes—couldn't be funnier or more ridiculous than it already is, watch it get mocked by these UCBT performers."
—Time Out New York
"The WWE is pretty hilarious on its own, but the UCB Theatre’s wrestling federation, the UCBW, pays such good attention to the details of the genre, it feels less like a satirical mockery and more of a hyper-hilarious homage to the dramatic sport. It’s impossible not to get caught up in their hysteria."
—New York Press
"The price of admission gets you a whole seat, but you only need the edge."
—Flavorpill
"These guys (and girls) pay tribute to the pro-wrestling they love with their hybrid of comedy/wrestling and super-ridiculous ringside commentary - so many talented performers, and an incredibly supportive crowd!"
—Wrestling Legend, Standup Comedian & Bestselling Author Mick Foley
"These top-notch improv comics are really hilarious, and totally respectful. These guys take us fans seriously enough to just let us be little kids again."
—David Shoemaker (The Masked Man), Deadspin & Grantland

LAST NIGHT at CageMatch: Dollywood Hogan answered Lil’ Bo Reap’s open challenge to face her for the UCBW Women’s Championship. After winning the title, Dollywood proclaimed he is joining the Women’s Division to stand up for women’s rights. Every punch to the face of a woman is a punch in the face to sexism everywhere.
#353: From UCBW 02/02/2012:
The New Women’s UCBW Wrestling Champion: Dollywood Hogan.
Alot of amazing is happening in this photo. Yes, that’s Mick Foley. Yes, Marz returned to the UCBW. And if you look real closely, you can see Whole Lotta Demin is in so much real physical pain, he’s cursing out Marz for touching him.

WWE.com: Mick Foley leaves NYC in stitches after Survivor Series
Well I think it’s fair to say the WWE is aware of our little comedy wrestling show that we do in the basement of a supermarket. After all, they put it on their website.
Pro-wrestling’s hardcore legend, Mick Foley returns to the UCB theatre in the first ever post-wrestling PPV comedy show!That’s right, following the huge WWE “Survivor Series” event, members of the WWE Universe, as well as fans of Mick’s comedy, can take a short walk to the UCB theatre to catch Foley’s trademark blend of wildness and warmth, wit and wisdom that turned two of his hand-written memoirs into #1 New York Times best-sellers. Foley will be fresh off his tour of the United Kingdom (many of the dates sold out MONTHS in advance - go ahead, check out http://mickfoleystandup.co.uk [mickfoleystandup.co.uk] ) and will be raring to go in the “shadow of Madison Square Garden.”Whether telling a side-splitting, or cringe-inducing tale from his own life, or offering up his unique “what if” scenarios gleaned from 25 years of world travel, Mick Foley will do his very best to make sure you “have a nice day!”MICK FOLEY: Live at UCB!UCB Theatre ChelseaSunday, November 20th at Midnight (After ASSSSCAT 3000)$5
