Pro Wrestling Unplugged: The Forgotten Wrestling Promotion

Pro Wrestling Unplugged (PWU) has been one of the best Indy wrestling promotions since its inception in 2004, but for some reason it never gets the spotlight. There isn't even a Wikipedia page on them! That’s where I come in. I’m hoping that by writing this article, people will get interested in the company and check it out online, or even go to a show.

PWU has the best of both worlds. It’s similar to Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) in many ways because of it’s hardcore roots, but it also hosts some of the best technical and high flying wrestlers on the circuit. It’s primarily based in Philadelphia, where it has been held in the original ECW arena on many occasions.

There have been a plethora of quality superstars that have one time or another called PWU home, including:

2 Cold Scorpio

The Sandman

John McChesney

Homicide

Trent Acid

Devon Moore

Delerious

Juventud Guerrera

Psicosis

Drew Blood

Jay Lethal

Steve Corino

Jay and Mark Briscoe

Elix Skipper

Abyss

Jake “The Snake” Roberts

Balls Mahoney

Necro Butcher

Prince Nana

Sid Vicious

“Primetime” Teddy Fine

The Insane Clown Posse

Eddie Kingston

Christopher Daniels

Samoa Joe

Diamond Dallas Page

Ian Rotten

The Nasty Boys

Greg “The Hammer” Valentine

 

These wrestlers are some of the best in the business, and there are plenty more wrestlers that are constantly emerging in the promotion.
