Twice in the 1980s, Akira Maeda led the UWF. He had been one of New Japan's top stars, but was prevented from climbing to the top. Instead, he and other talent left New Japan to start a new company in 1984. Three original members: IWE's former top star Rusher Kimura, the undersized Gran Hamada and the eccentric Ryuma Go were members, but after it was decided the company would try a more realistic style, they left for All Japan. The former Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, and his student Kazuo Yamazaki joined the company. Faction forming and bad business led to the UWF's demise in 1985. Maeda led his crew back to New Japan, but grew frustrated again and was fired in 1988. He restarted the UWF with a similar roster and added some young New Japan trainees of his. This UWF was much better, but was plagued by some of the same problems that forced it to close in late 1990.

After the death of the second UWF, Yoshiaki Fujiwara decided to form his own company. Originally called "New UWF Fujiwara-gumi," he signed two great aspiring stars in Masa Funaki and Minoru Suzuki. The group was an extension of the UWF legacy, but focused on young talent, which it developed very well before it was split in two to form Pancrase in 1993 and BattlARTS in 1995.

When the second UWF folded, they had an excellent talent pool to use. Some joined Yoshiaki Fujiwara, but most continued with the new UWF, called "UWF International." This group took the UWF style to the next level. They wisely used their established stars, built new Japanese stars and brought in gaijin talent to display a global appeal. They were very successful, but financial mismanagement caused problems. They tried to rekindle the New Japan-UWF feud and while the box offices were huge, the booking was poor. The UWFi started bringing traditional pro-wrestlers in to elevate interest, but mixed martial arts was the wave of the future and they couldn't keep their appeal with their style.

Maeda had unsuccessfully formed the UWF twice and when it folded, he took control to create his own vision of pro-wrestling with his authority reigning supreme. Fighting Network RINGS signed a deal with the TV station WOWOW and brought in legit talent from all over the world. They used native stars, but did not rely on them as heavily as UWFi and Fujiwaragumi did. RINGS was even more realistic in its approach and after finding its footing became the longest running and arguably the best of the shoot-style promotions. Maeda was the native star in the formative years and then passed on his legacy to former UWFi superstar Kiyoshi Tamura, judoka Tsuyoshi Kohsaka and trainees of his. In 1999, he came out of retirement to battle Alexander Karelin, perhaps the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler in recorded history. RINGS slowly turned into a legitimate promotion and many MMA greats got their start in the company, namely Pride FC stars Antonio Nogueira and Fedor Emelianenko. RINGS ran their final show in 2002. They have had a lasting legacy that had an impact on the rise of Mixed Martial Arts in the late 1990s.

After several stars left Fujiwara-gumi to form Pancrase, the company was in trouble. They downsized and repackaged themselves as BattlARTS. They chose a new style. The UWFi had grown bigger and were using the same style with better and more known talent. RINGS was more legitimate and had more international flavor. Pancrase was legit and was growing fast. BattlARTS with ties to Michinoku Pro, developed a style that leaned more toward traditional pro-wrestling than mixed martial arts. While it was an independent company with a strange flavor, BattlARTS had a good run and produced some excellent talent that have gone on to bigger things. They still run shows periodically.

After the UWFi folded, the talent had two options in the next couple years - join a pro-wrestling company or begin fighting. Kingdom was the downsized version of the UWFi without the outsiders, without the gaijin talent and without the big production. They did, however, have the most talented workers at the shoot-style. While they were very short-lived and did not create much, Kingdom was the final UWF derivative promotion before the MMA influence washed over the pro-wrestling world. Nearly all of its roster would fight in Pride FC with mixed results. Kazushi Sakuraba, who had been a small undercarder in the UWFi and was a promising talent in Kingdom, became the biggest Japanese star in Mixed Martial Arts history.

Kiyoshi Tamura was several years too early or too late. He became a star too early in the UWFi and was unable to transition to Pride FC or he was too young when the UWF legacy began and was unable to fully establish himself in the 1980s. Tamura is perhaps the greatest shoot-style wrestler ever. He was the complete package - he had personality, he had a great look, he could compete in a legit fight and he could have the best worked fights in the world. He was a big success in the UWFi, he was hit his peak of ability in RINGS and he was big draw for Pride FC (although not a successful fighter). In 2002, Tamura decided to use his star power and sway in the Japanese MMA world to kick start a shoot-style promotion like he had come up in. He utilized talent from RINGS, Pancrase, BattlARTS as well as DEEP and Shooto (smaller MMA groups). It was a primarily a young roster, but they were excellent. The group has grown because their is a nostalgia for the shoot-style companies between fans and pro-wrestlers alike. Although the company does not run shows regularly and the kakutogi (pro-wrestling and fighting) market is oversaturated, there is a place for a worked shoot promotion.
