# TNT Extreme Wrestling

TNT Extreme Wrestling is a British hardcore professional wrestling promotion established in 2015 and is co-owned by Jay Apter, Lee McAteer and Martyn Best.

## History

Since debuting in 2015, the promotion featured a hardcore style of wrestling characterized by hard hitting strikes and extreme hardcore violence on the side. The promotion started hosting its regular shows at the Black-E venue in Liverpool but in time, they switched locations to the O2 Academy and saw many internationally renowned wrestlers, such as Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews, Will Ospreay and James Drake. In 2016, due to gaining popularity in the wrestling scene, the promotion landed back in the heart of the Liverpool nightclub scene at Fusion on Fleet Street, having spent a short time there before landing at the O2. Their re-debut at Fusion saw the launch of the World Tag Wars Tournament, an annual competition which features teams from all around the British and Irish independent circuits.
In 2016, the promotion established its first hardcore title, the Extreme Division Championship which was created to be disputed in deathmatches with a concept which celebrated the brutality, endurance and pain threshold of those willing to participate in such matches. Shortly after settling back in to Fusion, on July 5, 2018, at TNT Going Off Big Time, Walter of Progress Wrestling dethroned the undefeated Joseph Conners for the TNT World Championship, ending a 13 match win streak for the latter. After the shift in the World title scene, as earlier that night, Kasey with the help of Molly Spartan defeated Lana to win the TNT Women championship as the "She-Wolves" stable was born. Walter's and championship reign was short lived, as Jordan Devlin was placed in to the rematch between Conners and Walter to make it a triple threat, with the "Irish Ace" walking out as champion.
In June 2018, the promotion launched "TNT IGNition", a brand new platform for local and nationwide up-and-coming talent. Our debut show saw the introduction of Big Guns Joe, Scott Oberman, Visage, Chase Alexander and Crashboat just to name a few, with LJ Cleary and More Than Hype making their debuts on the second show and All Eyes on Me from October 4, 2018.
On January 31, 2019, the promotion hosted their first ever DOA Deathmatch tournament. The next month, at TNT Merseyside Massacre 2019, the promotion saw the debut of Pac in a match against Rampage Brown and Mark Haskins capturing the vacant TNT World Championship. At the very next event of Supreme Extreme on April 18, El Phantasmo took on Rey Fenix, and Pac faced of against Pentagón Jr. for the very first time.
Mid 2019, the promotion switched locations again as it set up in Hangar 34 in Liverpool where it has remained until present. TNT IGNition: All Eyes On Me, the first show hosted at Hangar 34 on July 4, saw the crowning of the first ever TNT IGNition champion, as Soner Dursun out lasted nineteen other competitors in a rumble match. Since moving to Hangar34, TNT has welcomed various worldwide talent such as Rickey Shane Page, Grizzled Young Veterans, Flamita, Jonathan Gresham, Jimmy Lloyd, Eddie Kingston, Ace Austin, Black Taurus and Puma King.
Although 2020 was cut short, the promotion managed to hold the second DOA DeathMatch tournament from which Clint Margera came out victorious. TNT also crowned the first ever Ultra x Champion as Kid Lykos II defeated Robbie X, The OJMO and Ace Austin in the inaugural tournament final. 2020 also saw IGNition return to Fusion! A fresh burst flowed through IGNition, which saw the debut of The Young Guns, Chuck Mambo and YouTube star Simon Miller in the two shows managed at the start of 2020.
