UPW Partners

 



Ultimate Pro Wrestling, oftentimes known as the leader of independent wrestling has brought in more superstars to face our talent than any other independent promotion worldwide. UPW has a knack for turning out the biggest superstars in the industry as 20 UPW superstars have been signed to WWE thus far, a testament to that of Ultimate University. When The Rock was looking for some tough competition to prepare for Hollywood Hogan prior to No Way Out 2003, he came to Ultimate University! Current WWE superstars such as John Cena, Victoria, Heidenreich, and Luther Reigns all started right here in UPW. Not only does UPW produce the biggest superstars, we also draw the biggest names in sports entertainment for the best competition around. Stars such as Triple H, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Edge and Christian among many others have dropped by and thrilled UPW fans for years and will continue to do so. Unlike other promotions, these guest superstars do not face other guest superstars; they wrestle the top names in UPW because it provides them with the best competition in independent wrestling combined with the most enthusiastic wrestling fans around.

UPW has not only created superstars and brought in the finest names in wrestling, but most importantly UPW continues to bring in the biggest names today to face the superstars of tomorrow. Stay tuned to see which superstars come down to Ultimate Pro Wrestling and watch the stars that are made in front of your very eyes. Ultimate Pro Wrestling has only begun to scratch the surface, as the best is definitely yet to come.
