Wrestle Square was founded by Vinayak Sodhi in January 2015 when the pro-wrestling enthusiast decided to contribute back to the wrestling industry, which entertained him for several years. Sodhi admits that several fellow wrestlers have supported him to establish Wrestle Square. The booker and Chairperson of the promotion, Sodhi, is also a trained athlete and he had prior experience in working with some indie wrestling promotions.
As such organisations failed to attract the mainstream audience, Vinayak decided to set up his own wrestling company and thus Wrestle Square – Pro Wrestling came into existence.

Sportskeeda’s take
Wrestle Square aims “to make India a pro wrestling market. To tell the world that India is not just a fan or viewer of wrestling, but can produce talent and contribute to the wrestling world.”
Despite the absence of weekly shows, the performance and storytelling of the promotion have attracted audiences, who are eagerly waiting for future shows. Slowly but steadily, Wrestle Square is working to achieve its aim and establishing itself as one of Asia’s most reputed indie wrestling promotions. Wrestle Square is definitely something the Indian wrestling fans can be proud of.
