WCPW

**WhatCulture Professional Wrestling** (**WCPW**) was a British independent wrestling promotion, founded in 2016 by the members of ***WhatCulture Wrestling***, the YouTube subsidiary of **WhatCulture.com** as a result of the channel's burgeoning popularity.

As in other professional wrestling promotions, WCPW shows were not legitimate contests, but purely entertainment-based, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and choreographed matches, though they often included moves that put performers at risk of injury if not performed correctly.

WCPW held live events available for viewing on the WhatCulture Wrestling YouTube channel. Stu Bennett was the final General Manager.

WCPW was revealed to the public via a YouTube video on May 25, 2016. Despite being in its infancy, WCPW has attracted widespread attention for its professionalism, quality of storylines, and roster.

On June 19, 2016, it was revealed that the name of WCPW live events would be ***WCPW: Loaded***. On July 25, 2016, WCPW held their first special, ***Built To Destroy**'*, ***along with other events such as iPPV's,*** Stacked, True Legacy, DELETE WCPW, '''***and* WCPW Refuse To Lose''***.* As well as their ***WCPW True Destiny,*** which was called by **Jim Ross and Matt Striker** and featured ***Kurt Angle Vs Alberto El Patron***, *WCPW* announced a ***Pro Wrestling World Cup***. It consisted of 64 wrestlers from all over the world with qualifiers from 8 countries: **England, Scotland, Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, Mexico and a rest of the world bracket**. Winners of those qualifiers faced each other in the round of 16 and moved onto the quarter finals. Winners faced each other in the semi-finals and the winners of those faced off in the final to determine the inaugural ***WCPW Pro Wrestling World Cup Winner of 2017.***
