10 Wrestlers who started their own promotions

Brock Lesnar found solace in NJPW when he left WWE the first time around

9- Matt and Jeff Hardy

The Hardy’s created and resurrected their promotion OMEGA

The current WWE RAW Tag Team Champion created OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts) Championship Wrestling in 1997 with help from a couple of friends. It is based out of North Carolina, where the Hardy’s are from. The promotion was created because there weren’t a lot of places for the brothers to wrestle at the time.

While the promotion folded upon the Hardys joining WWE, it was resurrected in 2013 for good. The promotion is still going strong by joining forces with Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling. The brothers have enlisted other Indy talents, primarily TNA wrestlers, to make appearances for the promotion.
