# Championship Wrestling from Hollywood

Championship Wrestling (formally known as Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (CWFH)) is an American professional wrestling promotion and television program created by David Marquez, who serves as the promotion's president and on-camera interviewer. The television series originally premiered on September 17, 2010, and aired on KDOC-TV Los Angeles as well as first-run syndication in the United States.
Championship Wrestling is the flagship of the United Wrestling Network (UWN). Until 2012, both the promotion and show were known as NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (NWA Hollywood), and was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). In 2022, CWFH was merged with Championship Wrestling from Arizona and Championship Wrestling from Atlanta under the Championship Wrestling presented by CarShield banner. The new series would premiere on the weekend of April 24, 2022.

## History
### Early years

NWA Hollywood was originally produced with Big Vision Entertainment and taped at Columbia Square Studios in Hollywood. After launching on KDOC-TV, the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana became the promotion's home venue. On 12 May 2012, NWA Hollywood ran its first non-TV event in its history, with Scorpio Sky vs. Nick Madrid as it main event.
NWA Hollywood was originally booked by Adam Pearce; he was replaced by Joey Ryan in January 2011. On August 4, 2011, Ryan was relieved of his duties.
On September 9, 2012, David Marquez announced that the promotion had left the NWA.

### Post-NWA

On August 13, 2013, CWFH move to the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, California, with tapings held on the second and fourth Sunday of each month. That same day, Matt Striker joined the announce team, and The Grappler made his initial on-camera debut as a manager. On October 22, 2013, CWFH and nine other wrestling promotions created a new governing body known as the United Wrestling Network (UWN).
In 2017, CWFH would briefly re-establish a partnership with the NWA, now under the ownership of Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, wherein Nick Aldis feuded with Tim Storm for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
In September 2020, Aron Haddad was made the promotion's booker. On October 3, 2020, Marquez stepped down as executive producer, naming Nick Bonnano as the new EP.

### Merger & Relaunch

Due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 causing the cancellation of several UWN television tapings, CWFH would briefly go on hiatus after its September 11, 2021 episode. The show would return with its October 23 episode as it, along with the other Championship Wrestling programs, would later feature footage from the November 20th UWN Primetime Live event, and "best of" clip shows.
On February 17, 2022, the United Wrestling Network announced in a press release that they will be merging CWFH with Championship Wrestling from Arizona and Championship Wrestling from Atlanta into a singular entity under the Championship Wrestling presented by CarShield branding. The first taping for the new show took place at the Irvine Improv in Irvine, California on March 22. The new show would premiere on the weekend of April 24, 2022.
