Ultimate Showcase Wrestling

Ultimate Showcase Wrestling (also known as USW) is an American professional wrestling promotion based out of New York City, New York.
Founded by Kyle Reece Jr, the promotion was the successor to Whacked Out Wrestling, a largely small-venue professional wrestling promotion founded by his father, Kyle Reece Sr from 2006 until closing in 2012. After hosting free showing pay per views in 2013 to gain a larger audience, the promotion started holding monthly pay per views at the beginning of 2014. In early 2016, the company grew to feature an extensive roster, so in acknowledgment, created Friday Night Severity, to be an equal counterpart to their weekly television series Wednesday Night Intensity. Both shows would feature their own exclusive rosters, thus creating more opportunities for performers involved on both or either show. In 2017, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling and British television network BBC signed a three-year broadcasting deal that would see both the Intensity and Severity brands broadcast weekly on Thursday and Saturday nights respectively on the BBC Sport channel, an agreement that would begin with the program debut in April 2018. In March 2018, the company launched USW InTake, an over-the-top streaming service and digital network. In October 2019, the company struck a deal with ARC Wrestling to host their free shows and pay per views on the platform. In June 2020, the company announced the addition of SWO Wrestling, a promotion that became defunct in 2015, programming including free weekly shows and pay per views onto the platform starting that month.
Since the promotion's inception in 2013 out of the remnants of the folded Whacked Out Wrestling, USW has featured a business practice most fans of the promotion refer to as the "Talent Scouting Project" for their talent. The process works in a way largely to how professional sports scout athletes before they enter the collegiate system. In a way to avoid having to rely on wrestlers from other promotions, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling employs both executives and voluntary performers to spectate regional wrestling schools, inconspicuously, and at random intervals to determine whether or not to sign a performer to a contract prior to them entering work on the independent circuit. It is a tactic rarely used in the industry due to the success of signing wrestlers from other promotions or having a working relationship with other companies, but is the primary course of action taken to fill out the Ultimate Showcase Wrestling roster.
Under Kyle Reece Jr, the Talent Scouting Project has uncovered many current and former Ultimate Showcase Wrestling world champions and main event level talent. The likes of which include, but are not limited to; Otis Crane, Prophecy, Anarchy, Ash, James, Ezarank Hills, Suzuki Kirokashi, Tanner Wallace, Taylor Hell, Ella Camisado, Kayla Corre, Lexi Stein, Kevin Storm, AJ Cornell, Choi Ji-yoo, and more.
Emerging from the ashes of Whacked Out Wrestling, some Ultimate Showcase Wrestling performers lacked prior professional training when they signed to compete with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. The reasoning behind this was due to Whacked Out Wrestling's roots being cemented in backyard wrestling, therefor many of their stars being tasked with learning on the job, and evolving their skill set and ability by competing together and sharing experience. These performers include Cannon, Majagetta, Westernlight, Morbid, Judas Avion, YoYo Joe, Derrick Carter, Crosby Thorne, Switchblade and Blade, and others.
Despite the majority of USW's roster being filled out through the Talent Scouting Project, there have been notable signings to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling from various independent promotions in both the United States and United Kingdom independent circuits. Performers such as Arvo Black and Ayden Richie (collectively known as the Stargazers), Luka Reeves (previously known as, and sometimes referred to as, Brian Anthony or Mr. Anthony), Alex Martin, George Martin, Dwayne Porter, Dustin Ramond, Austin Cole (previously known as Alex Gracie), Alicia Sinclair, Aphrodite (previously known as Dead Bride Dawn), Her Equinox, Hayley Osser (previously known as Haley Marx), Rex Garaghan, Jonny Velocity, Luther Mason, Austin Capkins, Sasha Alexander, Marc Trevor and Tom Corter (collectively known as Revolution NOW!), and more.
Since 2021, the partial ownership stake in ARC Wrestling by Kyle Reece Jr has resulted in shared contracts between talent in the company and Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Since 2021, ARC Wrestling has served as a developmental territory to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, where successful wrestlers in ARC Wrestling are eventually brought onto Intensity or Severity.
== History ==
=== Formation ===
In March of 2011, after gaining traction with sponsors for their then-weekly show "Thursday Night WarZone", owner Kyle Reece Sr. started planning to close Whacked Out Wrestling and relaunch it in an entirely new entity called Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, to help prove the promotion to be more professional rather than amateur. The promotion then started hiring talent and training them in Niantic, Connecticut; which would allow the new promotion to feature new talent that can give it a professional identity, whilst also maintaining performers from then-Whacked Out Wrestling. In early 2012, the plan to close Whacked Out Wrestling was announced, and planned for after WoW Bullet Proof. At this time, Whacked Out Wrestling started referring to the new promotion on a weekly basis, thus formalizing the efforts to bring credibility to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. On November 4th, 2012; Whacked Out Wrestling held it's final pay per view event under the WoW name, and officially disbanded before the end of the month. This would allow time for the promotion to place everything in motion for their formal opening in early-2013. On January 12, 2013; Kyle Reece Sr, and his sons Martin and Kyle Jr, would formally introduce Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. At the conference, Kyle Sr officially named Kyle Jr the owner and chairman of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling effective immediately. This would prove to be a big success, as Kyle Jr received favorable reviews within the first half of a year managing the promotion, as Kyle Sr would take on duties as the lead commentator for Wednesday Night Intensity.
At launch, the promotion had managed to sign former WoW employee's Majagetta, Cannon, Morbid, YoYo Joe, Westernlight, Verse 9 and Double XL to official contracts. At the same time, the promotion also brought back Derrick Carter from the independent circuit, as well as other independent circuit prospects The Great Brothers (then renamed the Martin Brothers after their real names) as well as Dwayne Porter, Dustin Ramond and more. However; the biggest impact move was when WoW employee Zack Hardy, whom the former promotion had pushed as their most prized performer, refused to sign with the new promotion to focus on stabilizing where he was personally. Hardy would then sign with the promotion in March of the same year, with Derrick Carter leaving right afterwards after demanding a release from his contract.
=== Ultimate Showcase Wrestling Logo History ===
The top "Blue on Blue" logo was the company's logo from it's inception in 2013 until late-2014. The following "Gold on Blue" logo was the company's logo from 2014 until 2018, when the logo was revamped with a golden banner around the logo, which was incorporated as the official logo of the company since August 2018.
=== The Introduction Year (2013) ===
During the first year of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling's existence, the promotion took strides to grow a larger audience and fan base than Whacked Out Wrestling once had. With many former WoW fans jumping over to Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, new fans made their way into the promotion as well, with the help of free weekly special shows. For the majority of 2013, the promotion held one show a week, with every other week having another show that would feature a higher produced card and would be held on a higher standard to the other shows. When Zack Hardy debuted for the promotion in March of 2013, the promotion saw a drastic spike in viewership, going from roughly 24,000 views a week to 56,000 views a week. In the second half of the year, the promotion started airing payed content, with their premiere pay per view event; Call To Greatness, in July of that year. The following month, the promotion would hold their Capital Carnage pay per view event, following it with an Ultimate Consequence pay per view event the month after. The promotion would then hold three more pay per view events in the year; Bullet Proof, No Remorse, and Final Chapter before officially structuring a set schedule for the following year. In what proved to be a starting year for the promotion, it enjoyed drastic financial success, and the brand of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling was taken credibly and professionally, with Kyle Reece Jr officially being named the permanent owner of the promotion.
=== The Identity Years (2014-2015) ===
Going into 2014; the promotion started with original content and paid content, featuring their weekly show of Wednesday Night Intensity, and typically one to two pay per views a month. The big four pay per views of the promotion were announced to be; Call To Greatness, Ultimate Consequence, Capital Carnage, and Bullet Proof. These would prove to be the biggest successes from the first few years for the promotion when it came to paid content and pay per views. In 2014; Ultimate Showcase Wrestling held their "Call To Greatness IX" event with Zack Hardy and Morbid being the headlining match on the card. This pay per view would go on to break all time records for the promotion, and would be the highest rated wrestling pay per view event for three months following it. Achieving a then-record breaking crowd, the promotion's main event of Hardy Vs. Morbid was given a perfect rating based off of seven different reviews, which would then launch Ultimate Showcase Wrestling into a high power on the wrestling scene.
The following year in 2015, the promotion continued to grow, with their "Call To Greatness X" show being yet another financial success, and the promotion starting a brief run with their developmental circuit, where they would train new wrestlers into a professional environment. This would include performers like Kevin Storm, Micah Jordan, Austin Atomic, The Northern Lights, and more that would find future success in the industry both in and out of the promotion. 2015 was the final year where the one and only weekly show would be "Intensity."
=== Expansion and Increased Attention (2016-2019) ===
In February of 2016, it was announced that the promotion would be implementing another weekly show, "Friday Night Severity" to be a counter part to "Wednesday Night Intensity" thus forging both shows to feature their own, distinct rosters. Severity then debuted in March of 2016; with the primary performers on the show being performers only familiar with the Ultimate Showcase Wrestling brand. By this point in time; the promotion's biggest star; Zack Hardy, had announced his decision to depart the promotion and officially left the promotion in February of 2016 for a short period of time, before deciding to go into a temporary, semi-retirement from the wrestling industry. With both shows now striving and going back and forth to win ratings, the promotion decided to move their headquarters and weekly shows from being held in Connecticut. By the end of 2016, the promotion officially moved it's base of operations to State College, Pennsylvania, marking the first move of the promotion from the state of Connecticut. Both shows would be financially successful, and would continue to keep the promotion thriving. With the new success found upon the promotion, they decided to start planning to move Call To Greatness outside of the northeastern part of the United States, marking the first time the promotion would hold shows outside of that part of the United States. It was then announced that the plan was to hold Call To Greatness XIV in Chicago, Illinois in 2019; marking the first USW branded show outside of northeastern United States. At this time, the promotion started gaining widespread traction, and gained more sponsors throughout the course of the year.
In 2017; the promotion would sign independent stars The Stargazers, as well as signing former SWO performer Zac Ardin to a permanent full time contract. This year would prove to be a huge success for the promotion, with their Call To Greatness XII event featuring Majagetta Vs. Austin Atomic for the World Heavyweight Championship, which would receive positive attention on that scale for the first time since Call To Greatness XII. Later that year, Call To Greatness was named one of the top fifteen wrestling events currently active in the world. The year would also feature the return of Zack Hardy, the move of Majagetta, Cannon and Morbid (main performers on the Intensity brand) to Friday Night Severity, and the first time in the promotion's history where the Severity brand would earn more of a profit than Wednesday Night Intensity. This year would also feature main pay per views for both respective brands. During this year, it was made official that the new top four pay per views in the promotion would be Insanity, Call To Greatness, War Zone, and Bullet Proof.
In 2019; the company held their first show in the midwest United States, with Call To Greatness XIV: Chicago being held in Illinois in April 2019. During the broadcast, the following year's event would be confirmed for San Diego in April 2020. In October 2019; both Ultimate Showcase Wrestling programs would run opposite more well-known companies WWE and All Elite Wrestling, with Friday Night Severity sharing the same day as the WWE' Friday Night SmackDown program, which began airing on the FOX Network. Wednesday Night Intensity then began sharing the same day as AEW's weekly program, which began airing on TNT in the United States. Also in 2019, the company reported that it was on track to make a twenty-five million dollar profit through all financials by the end of the year, which was the first time the company was on track to earn a positive cash flow of over that amount in it's history for the fiscal year.
=== Intensity competition against WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite, Severity competition against WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Move to FuseTV (October 2019-January 2024) ===
On October 2, 2019; All Elite Wrestling debuted their weekly program Dynamite on TNT in the United States, competing directly against WWE's NXT broadcast on the USA Network. With both shows starting at the same time, USW's Wednesday Night Intensity broadcast would start an hour after both shows, and finish an hour after both shows go off the air, competing directly in their first hour against both companies in their second hour, marking the first time since their ratings battle with then-TNA Impact on Wednesday nights in 2014 that Intensity would have competition in the United States. During the discussion, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling would begin talks with Anthem Entertainment about airing on AXS TV on Wednesday and Friday nights. The following Friday, USW Friday Night Severity would begin competing under the same time-circumstances against WWE's Friday Night SmackDown! programming on the FOX Network.
During the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, USW stopped producing live shows, opting to release hour-long episodes of Wednesday Night Intensity and Friday Night Severity at their original start time until the ability to return to live shows was granted by the state of Pennsylvania, effectively shutting down operations of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Each month, however, one pay per view specific to Intensity and Severity respectively would be filmed from an empty arena with performers acting as the audience, adhering to state-administered guidelines. The ratings for both shows would take a hit in the aftermath of the pandemic, dropping to around 250,000 and 190,000 average viewers respectively in the following months. 
In July 2020, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling announced the signing of a contract with FuseTV to begin producing Intensity and Severity for the channel in January 2021. In addition, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling began setting out for a new partnership in the United Kingdom, confirming that the promotion would not be renewing their deal with BBC Sport once it came to a close in April 2021. In August 2020, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling announced that negotiations had begun with A&E Networks and SkySports to air Intensity and Severity on their UK channel Blaze. The negotiations would allow Intensity and Severity to air live at 9:00PM (GMT) in the United Kingdom, with edits being made to the broadcasts in the three hours prior to it airing on a three-hour delay in the United States, which Intensity and Severity had been previously pre-taped for during their time on BBC Sport. This change would split the time difference between the United States and the United Kingdom considerably, effectively making Ultimate Showcase Wrestling a more viable option for professional wrestling in the United Kingdom. This result has seen both Intensity and Severity matching the ratings that WWE and AEW have drawn in the United Kingdom. 
In December 2020, USW announced deals with 7Mate in Australia and Super Channel Fuse in Canada to air Intensity and Severity. Another UK-based deal with BlazeTV was signed and announced in January 2021. In addition, the company announced that both main roster shows- Intensity and Severity- would begin airing on FuseTV at the start of that year's build to Call To Greatness. The first programs for the company would air on all networks starting in February 2021, with the first edition of Wednesday Night Intensity after Insanity 2021. In March 2021, it was announced that WWE's NXT would be moving to Tuesday night's at an unspecified time, taking away one show from competition with USW. Following the NXT move to Tuesdays, USW Intensity and AEW Dynamite would be the only wrestling program's broadcast on Wednesday nights. In 2023, ARC Wrestling began fully operating as the developmental territory for Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. 
=== Intensity and Severity move to FX, ARC Wrestling renewed contract with FuseTV (January 2024-present) ===
On December 27, 2023, Kyle Reece Jr announced that both Wednesday Night Intensity and Friday Night Severity would be moving to national television as part of a three year television deal with FX Network. The shows would begin airing following the Insanity 2024: San Jose event. In addition to this, ARC Wrestling had secured a renewed deal with Fuse to keep their developmental program- Thursday Night Revolution- on Fuse for a further three years. Both deals will conclude in January 2027.
== Features ==
=== Brand Split ===
One of the most well known examples of a brand extension other than that of the WWE, is the brand split in USW with their two weekly shows Wednesday Night Intensity and Friday Night Severity. It is currently one of the only promotions to feature two weekly shows during it's tenure, fighting against each other both whilst both remaining under the same promotion's banner.
On-screen interactions between performers on different brands is rare in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, with the only common interactions between the shows taking place at the annual War Zone pay per view event. From 2016 until 2020,the War Zone event would pit champions and representatives of Intensity and Severity against each other every two years (specifically the years ending in even numbers). Every other year (specifically the years ending in odd numbers), wrestlers would compete with other wrestlers of their same brand at the event, with the losers being forced to leave their respective show for the other. An example would include the 2017 event in which Intensity wrestlers Zack Hardy and Morbid competed against each other in a rematch from their encounter at Call To Greatness IX three years prior. Hardy won the match, therefor remained as a member of the Intensity roster. For losing this match, Morbid was forced to depart Intensity and become an active competitor on the Severity brand, effectively ending their then-ongoing feud.
From portions of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 until the end of 2020, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling held two pay per views per month, with both shows getting one event all to themselves aside from the main four, which they would share. In 2020, the promotion announced the beginning of a new pay per view cycle beginning in 2021, with the main Ultimate Showcase Wrestling shows only holding five pay per views per year, all of which would be shared amongst the shows, thus ending brand-exclusive pay per view events. However, the brand split would remain intact, with both shows only sharing the events match card.
=== The Bullet Proof Series (2014) ===
In 2014, the promotion resurrected the Bullet Proof Series tournament from Whacked Out Wrestling for the first time in over three years. The winner of the event was DHIG in the same year. This was the final installment of the Bullet Proof Series to date, and the only time the series was used in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling.
The 2014 edition of the series featured it's own controversy, mostly centering around Rush, who was in first place for the majority of the series. Due to scheduling conflicts and a falling out with management, Rush left Ultimate Showcase Wrestling amidst the series, thus dropping him from the series completely. Upon leaving the promotion, rumors began circulating online about Rush having been fired from the company for using PED's, which were quickly denied by Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. Following Rush's departure, it was revealed that original plans had him slated to win the series, advancing to take the World Heavyweight Championship off of then-champion Majagetta, who was originally planned to enter the event as champion. Instead, DHIG won the series, advancing to fall to Majagetta at Bullet Proof 7, failing to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. DHIG would be released from Ultimate Showcase Wrestling in 2016, never having competed for the World Heavyweight Championship again. DHIG would then be signed to ARC Wrestling in 2019, becoming the inaugural ARC United States Heavyweight Champion, which would later be renamed to the ARC Atlantic Championship, before losing it to Ovesk.
=== Kickoff Matches ===
In 2013; the company began referring to the first match of any produced pay per view event as a "Kickoff Match" to highlight the trust they had in placing performers in a spot to open the show. USW would be the first company to do so, with their partner promotion ARC Wrestling being the second starting in 2019.
=== Pathway To Greatness ===
In 2019; the company began producing a new documentary series focusing on the lives of competitors in the weeks leading up to the company's annual Call To Greatness event. The first season debuted in 2019, with the series doing well enough to be picked up for a second season, which premiered to good ratings in 2020, despite the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic putting a burden on the production. The series was renewed for a third season, slated to begin filming in February 2021.
== Contracts ==
Ultimate Showcase Wrestling signs all of their performers to exclusive contracts, which differs from most other professional wrestling companies, who hire their wrestlers as independent contractors. USW wrestlers are considered employees by the promotion, and are prohibited from performing for any other wrestling promotions, with varying exceptions. Wrestler Luka Reeves is signed to a multi-year deal with a clause that allows him to compete in any other promotion as long as he prioritizes Ultimate Showcase Wrestling dates. Chris Ross is signed to a contract as an active competitor in addition to his contract as an executive with the company, having served as the primary booker for the Friday Night Severity brand since April 2020. Zack Hardy is signed to a multi-year deal, allowing him to compete for any promotion as long as he prioritizes Ultimate Showcase Wrestling dates, in addition to being able to oversee his own wrestling company ARC Wrestling, which Ultimate Showcase Wrestling owns a large portion of.
Cannon signed a 10-year deal with Ultimate Showcase Wrestling in November 2019, with the deal allowing him to perform for any promotion as long as he prioritizes Ultimate Showcase Wrestling dates. Cannon, along with Zack Hardy, Majagetta, Westernlight, and YoYo Joe also own stake in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, which they bought at the promotion's launch in January 2013. As active competitors (other than YoYo Joe, who quietly retired from professional wrestling in 2017), the five performers are also minority owners of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, making them both employees to the promotion as well as owners of it.
Select performers are designated as ambassadors for the promotion, with multiple performers acting as ambassadors to select regions of various markets. Choi Ji-yoo is the promotion's ambassador to the Korean peninsula, whilst Suzuki Kirokashi is the promotion's ambassador to Japan. Sasha Alexander, though no longer serving in an on-screen role, serves as both an executive to the promotion, as well as the promotion's ambassador to India. Real-life husband and wife Austin Cole and Ashley Donovan serve as the promotion's official ambassadors to the United Kingdom, whilst performer Alexander Rotten serves as the promotion's ambassador to Germany, Belgium and primary England. Zack Hardy serves as the ambassador to Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, Ezarank Hills serves as the ambassador to Mexico and Central America, and James serves as the ambassador to Canada.
== Ownership ==
In storyline and real life, the owner of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling is Kyle Reece Jr, from the Reece family. He inherited the promotion from his father when the promotion launched in January of 2013, and has been the owner and chairman for the promotion since it's inception. Kyle Jr, as well as the entirety of the Reece family have made clear that they do not intend to sell the company to any future buyers, nor place the promotion up for partial sale. Kyle Reece Sr quietly retired from the professional wrestling business in 2018, making rare on-screen appearances when storylines call for such. His latest appearance was in 2018, when he overthrew Kyle Jr's authority in storyline from the Wednesday Night Intensity, installing Rose Line as the active general manager of the promotion. Shortly after that, Kyle Sr installed Kevin Storm as the active general manager of the Friday Night Severity brand, overthrowing his eldest son, Martin, from the position.
Aside from both Kyle Jr and the umbrella entity of the Reece Family Promotions, there are numerous individuals with very minor stake in the promotion. Whilst disputed, it is reported that Kyle Jr owns 65% of the Reece Family Promotions entity, and 84-88% of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. As an individual, Kyle Jr also owns 49% of ARC Wrestling, having purchased a large portion of the promotion in 2020.
