Global Pro Wrestling (New York)

Global Pro Wrestling is an American professional wrestling and integrated media and entertainment company. It was founded in 2000 but it started up in 2002, the same year as rival promotions Total Nonstop Action (now Impact Wrestling) and Ring of Honor.

GPW has held numerous events all over the world. Their primary training facility is located in Brentwood, New York, though they have training facilities all over the United States and the world, such as England, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Italy, Japan, Ireland & Puerto Rico. They most recently opened an international training facility in India in 2018.

The company was born out of the ashes of the old United States Wrestling Federation. When the USWF went under after 1994, the Wagner Brothers bought the trademark which was lapsed after their father let it expire. The company retained some of the old hallmarks of the USWF which featured competitive matches and impeccable storytelling. The USWF was resurrected after a ten year dormancy and the company has since become a developmental system for GPW.

Company history
On April 1, 2000, the Wagner brothers held a press conference in Times Square in New York City talking about a new company starting up called Global Pro Wrestling.
