Christian Wrestling Federation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Christian Wrestling Federation (CWF), is a Christian outreach professional wrestling promotion that proselytizes through wrestling events around the country. It is currently based in the Dallas suburb of Rockwall, Texas.
The promotion has run cards in 28 different states, including California, New York, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Missouri.
Though pro wrestling is an avenue not typically associated with Christianity or even good morals, the CWF uses the sports' storytelling elements to present a Gospel message. CWF events are typically conducted in communities, churches, conferences, and festivals.
