CW serves as the flagship promotion of the United Wrestling Network (UWN). Until 2012, the promotion and show were known as NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (NWA Hollywood) and was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
History
NWA Hollywood was originally produced with Big Vision Entertainment and taped at Columbia Square Studios in Hollywood.[4]
After launching on KDOC-TV, the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana[5] became the promotion's home venue.[4] On 12 May 2012, NWA Hollywood ran its first non-TV event in its history, with Scorpio Sky vs. Nick Madrid as it main event.[6]
NWA Hollywood was originally booked by Adam Pearce; he was replaced by Joey Ryan in January 2011.[7] On August 4, 2011, Ryan was relieved of his duties.[8]
On September 9, 2012, David Marquez announced that the promotion had left the NWA.[9]
On August 13, 2013, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood moved to the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, California, with tapings held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. That same day, Matt Striker joined the announce team and The Grappler made his initial on-camera debut as a manager. On October 22, 2013, CWFH and nine other wrestling promotions created a new governing body known as the United Wrestling Network (UWN).[10]
In September 2020, Aron Haddad was made the promotion's booker.[13] On October 3, 2020, Marquez stepped down as executive producer, naming Nick Bonnano as the new EP.[14]
Due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 causing the cancellation of several UWN television tapings, the show would briefly go on hiatus after its September 11, 2021 episode.[15][16] The show would return with its October 23 episode as it, along with other Championship Wrestling programs, would later feature footage from the November 20th UWN Primetime Live event, and "best of" clip shows.[17][18]
On February 17, 2022, the United Wrestling Network announced in a press release that they will be merging CWFH with the Arizona and Atlanta Championship Wrestling promotions into a singular entity under the Championship Wrestling presented by CarShield branding. The first taping for the new show will take place at the Irvine Improv in Irvine, California on March 22.[19][20]
