WCPW

WCPW are the new kids on the block

For a group of guys who played drinking games whilst watching PPVs to the amusement of people on YouTube, they've done pretty well.

The guys over at WhatCulture have combined their fresh views on the professional wrestling industry with their knowledge of what can be considered successful in order to create their own promotion.

WhatCulture Pro Wrestling, or WCPW, has been going strong for less than a year now and after a few initial hiccups, they appear to be well on their way to stardom.

They have their own weekly show in the form of Loaded, whilst also producing iPPVs every few months or so that feature blockbuster names such as Kurt Angle, Cody Rhodes, Drew Galloway, Bret Hart and more.

You can tell they are starting to make an impact purely based on the fact that WWE wouldn't allow any of their guys in the UK Championship Tournament to appear on their iPPV events. Yes, it's just good business sense from them, but at the same time, you can't deny that WCPW is starting to make some noise on a much bigger scale.

We move from a promotion on the up to one attempting to rise from the ashes.
