Preston City Wrestling (PCW) is a British owned independent professional wrestling promotion established in 2011. PCW runs the majority of its shows in Preston, in the county of Lancashire in England.

History

Preston City Wrestling was founded in 2011 by Steven Fludder in Preston, Lancashire.[2] Their first event was held on 26 August 2011 in Preston and they crowned their first PCW champion during the second show on 23 September.[3] Many other notable British talents have also wrestled at PCW including Magnus, Drew Galloway and Doug Williams.[4] In 2013, it was announced that former boxing champion Riddick Bowe would sign his first contract with PCW and wrestle his first match in March 2014.[5][6] However, on 14 December 2013, Preston City Wrestling announced on their Facebook Page that Bowe would no longer be appearing due to a disagreement with Bowe`s new agent. At "Tribute to the Troops" in 2014, approximately 2000 people were in attendance for the free (non paid) show, a record for a wrestling show in the United Kingdom outside of WWE shows.[7][8] In June 2014 they announced their partnership with Ring of Honor (ROH)[8] and presented their first show together called "Supershow of Honor" in November.[9][10] In July 2015 it was announced that another four wrestling shows co-promoted by both organizations would occur in November 2015.[11] On 27 November Adam Cole became the first Ring of Honor wrestler to gain a PCW title, winning the PCW Cruiserweight Championship from El Ligero.[12] It was announced on Twitter that Billy Gunn signed with PCW for "Road To Glory 2016" show in February along with Tajiri.[13] On 25 June 2016, PCW hosted the first HD iPPV in European wrestling history.[14] In September 2016, PCW withdrew from its relationship with ROH and announced they were now working with American promotions Beyond Wrestling and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) and German promotion Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw).[15]
