CWFH to Premiere on The CW Network’s CW PLUS Affiliates October 7th

HOLLYWOOD, CA (July 11, 2017) – This fall, America’s fastest growing pro wrestling television promotion will celebrate its 7th year of broadcasting with its biggest expansion yet!

Since 2010, CWFH has broadcast more than 350 consecutive weeks of televised pro wrestling and the program has featured the very best talent on the pro wrestling scene, including popular personalities and current WWE Superstars.


CWFH has come a very long way. Our company has been around for 14 years and we’ve always have had some sort of television presentation, but it wasn’t until KDOC-TV in Los Angeles gave us the chance to shine 7 years ago that we hit our stride. Today, I’m proud to add these new CW Plus television stations to our existing distribution. Over the years we’ve been able to establish a loyal fan base and many of those people live in the areas where we’ll be premiering on Oct. 7th. I’m also excited because of the timing. We’ve been planning our upcoming United Wrestling Network World Championship Tournament and this coverage will help us build anticipation to that event. I’d like to thank everyone for their continued support and to everyone who helped craft this syndication.” said CWFH Executive Producer David Marquez.

Eric Watts wants the PP3 Cup back – he’s not done with it yet

Eric Watts has already won a PP3 Cup. Well….kind of. History will record Rocky Romero as the winner of the 2016 Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup; however, Watts’ manager Ty Matthews – the leader of the Hyperoptimism movement/cult – manipulated Romero into defending his right to the cup while injured. Watts made quick work of Romero, who already was in a sling when the match began.

The duo weren’t done. Perhaps no one in history has used ‘Percy’s Privilege‘ to make a bigger impact than “Big Nasty” did. Just a few short weeks ago, Watts shocked the world by using the privilege to challenge both tag team champions at the same time – BY HIMSELF – and he won.

Watts is now the United Tag Team Champions (you read that right). Ty Matthews has already served notice that should he and Watts lay claim to the PP3 Cup again, their sights will be set squarely on the Hollywood Heritage Championship. That would consolidate two of CWFH’s three sanctioned championships onto the waist of one man. Maybe Ty Matthews does really know how to “Be well.

Jarek 1:20 – Bateman’s attack dog is off the leash and coming for the PP3 Cup

We knew Jarek 1:20 was crazy. Anyone who declares the likes of United Television Champion Bateman to be a “God” is, in part, letting you know that their elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.

We knew Jarek was dangerous. Just ask “Main Event” James Morgan – who lost his career in his battle with Bateman almost entirely due to Jarek’s constant and calculated interference.

We didn’t know Jarek was crazy enough to stalk Yuma’s family, kidnap him, hang him upside down from the ceiling of the Oceanview Pavilion and drag one of the company’s most vicious and tenured competitors into a Non-Sanctioned match that HE requested.

We’re beyond the pale. Jarek 1:20 is willing to go as far as it takes – And in the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup, that’s exactly how far he’ll have to go.

Be there for the 5th Annual Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup on Sunday January 15th at the Oceanview Pavilion in Pt. Hueneme! More details on this FREE event at https://www.hollywoodwrestling.com/event/11517

Espiritu – underneath that mask lies the sleeper pick in the PP3 Cup

The big free agent and first key acquisition in Nikko Marquez’s ‘Lucha Movement’, Espiritu has quickly racked up an impressive record in both Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and Championship Wrestling from Arizona. But, he has flown under the radar throughout it all.

His amicable and exciting personality is reflected in his in-ring style. His fellow luchadores love him, the fans love him and Ryan Taylor…well…Ryan Taylor REALLY hates him. Espiritu somehow ran afoul of Taylor and the feud went nuclear almost instantaneously. Taylor has become obsessed with unmasking the luchador – a deep and personal offense/affront to all in the lucha libre community.

Like his hated rival, Espiritu will need to put his hatred aside and shift his focus to the prize that matters. If he can, Espiritu could be the sleeper pick that wins your office Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup pool this year.
