Master Class Wrestling or MCW is an all original CAW promotion founded by Chris Prewett in England with a history spanning nearly a decade, broadcasting it's Click Per Views on YouTube. MCW is a TV fed but has stated that a move to Capture Card is in future plans. However, due to this fed being just a simple league with no desire of being big and the problems of no USB drives on Chris Prewett's computer and a small 1GB of free space, MCW will not be moving to a capture card anytime soon.

The MCW promotion is where the MCW superstars battle it out for the ultimate prize. The Unified MCW Championship which is at this moment in time held by Ray Kilik after he defeated D.D. Davis at MCW 8 to end the over 8 month reign of Davis. D.D Davis holds the record for being longest reigning Unified MCW Champion in MCW history with a reign of over 8 months.

The Beginning (2001-2004)
Chris Prewett created MCW in 2001 using the PS1 game WWF Warzone before moving to the GameCube game WWE Wrestlemania X8 in late 2002 and continuing the theme of GameCube games like Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 until Late 2006, where it changed to the Smackdown Vs Raw series for PS2, where it has stayed with ever since. MCW began by releasing MCW 0 (MCW's version of WrestleMania). This was never completed and therefore was called MCW 0. MCW would make it's first real appearence at the end of 2003 wih the Race to the Rumble Mega-Event. Where superstars would fight it out in qualifier matches to see who would make it into the Rumble. Then there would be the rumble. Where 10 superstars would fight it out to see who would main event MCW as the #1 contender for the championship. Infernus was the very first rumble winner coming in at number 10. MCW 1 was the very first Mega-Event in MCW history where Infernus would beat K8 to win the MCW World Championship and start his first of his 7 title reigns.

MCW II Controversy (2004-2005)
Infernus reigned as World Champion until MCW 2 When Deadioblo (The winner of the Rumble 2004 coming in at number 8) would beat Infernus in a ladder match with help from a distraction by The Android. Infernus would then injure Deadioblo and had to vacate the MCW World Championship.

XWF Invasion (2006-2008)
MCW would be invaded by rival brand XWF (Xtreme Wrestling Force). With both organisations swapping superstars and sharing Mega-Events. It was Flash an XWF superstar who would win the 2008 rumble but failed to defeat John Maverick at MCW 5. The ending contest was at MCW Thrive To Survive 2008 where the two brands faced off where the loser will liquidate. MCW would win the battle and the war.

The Unified MCW Championship (2009)
At MCW End Of An Era, The MCW Championship and The MCW World Championship would unify to find a new champion after the former champions were fired. (Varminox was fired in a loser will be fired match and Infernus was fired with no reason by Thomas Law). The quest for a new champion took place in a 8 man tournement. K8 would win the tournement in a shock comeback defeating TCS in the final.

The box television days (2009-2010)
In october of 2009. MCW made it's first global appearance on YouTube showing 3 episodes and a Mega-Event. The Mega-Event in question, Bombfire Brawl 2009 (Spelled differently due to the trailer which included a lot fo explosions) which featured a lot of vengeance matches and title matches. C2Z would win the Unified MCW Championship off K8 in the main event.

YouTube return & NWF Brand (2010)
MCW would return to YouTube after a 5 month absence with Ressurexion 2010 showing off better quality and much better sound quality for commentary. In January 2010, MCW announced that they would only be uploading CPV's due to the MCW weekly episodes being too time consuming. MCW also begun the NWF brand in January 2011, this 2nd brand was short lived when Adam Raven unified its only championship with the MCW Lightweight Championship.

Post NWF (2010-present)
MCW celebrated it's 1 year anniversary on YouTube at Bonfire Brawl. Since the first online MCW CPV was Bombfire Brawl the year before. On October 10th 2010, after failing to negotiate a contract with MCW. General Manager of MCW Thomas Law was fired after creating a match at Bonfire Brawl 2010 where Derek has to take on The Faction in a 3 on 1 Gauntlet match. It was classed a favouritism and unfair. Law has now been added to MCW's alumni. MCW announced on November 28th 2010 that there will be an MCW Awards taking place over the next week. At New Year Skirmish on December 31st 2010, MCW announced that 'The One and Only' Zak Leal was re-hired as the new MCW General Manager. On May 25th 2011, MCW officially parted ways with their occasional Co-Analyst Rob Smith with his last appearance being commentating on the MCW Thrive to Survive 2011 CPV.
