Vendetta Pro Wrestling Vendetta Pro Wrestling ( or Vendetta Pro for short ) is an independent professional wrestling promotion , founded in 2009 and based in Santa Maria , California , which produces live professional wrestling events regionally , including throughout California — primarily the Central Coast — and yearly in Las Vegas , Nevada . Vendetta Pro tends to shy away from the practice of using it ' s initials ( VPW ) as a short name , as to not get lost in the " alphabet soup " of independent wrestling promotions .

Vendetta Pro Wrestling was originally founded under the name Pro Wrestling Unplugged , licensed as a West Coast extension of the original Pro Wrestling Unplugged promotion based in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . However , the license was quickly pulled , and shortly thereafter , PWU shut down operations . The now - unnamed West Coast promotion then began using the name Vendetta Pro Wrestling , and focused more on creating their own identity , using a mix of former World Wrestling Entertainment and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling talents with wrestlers from the Independent Circuit on the West Coast and wrestlers trained by Vendetta Pro . Vendetta Pro ' s first event was held on July 11 , 2009 in Santa Maria , with an 11 match card including an improptu Battle Royal for the Vendetta Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship , which was won by " Sexy ” Sean Casey . Vendetta Pro often features “ Tri - Force ” matches , which are standard three person matches .
