History of ACW-NWA Wisconsin
Documentary Promotional Video

     All-Star Championship Wrestling, known by the acronym ACW, was born in 1998 with their first show in Gillett, Wisconsin. Starting as a small local professional wrestling company, it rapidly grew into Wisconsin's largest pro wrestling company by 2003. As a result of this success, the National Wrestling Alliance, the governing body of the sport, took notice and extended an invitation to be their Wisconsin territory. Thus, ACW became NWA Wisconsin to better reflect its affiliation with the National Wrestling Alliance. 

As a result of ACW’s continued growth, the ACW name was brought back as a separate brand within the company, hosting shows in the Green Bay area, while NWA Wisconsin hosts shows throughout the rest of the state. NWA Wisconsin is always looking to expand to new towns, having packed venues big and small, from Milwaukee to Wausaukee, Marinette to Pulaski and everywhere in between. 

NWA Wisconsin brings a unique form of entertainment filled with hours of excitement. Professional wrestling, like baseball, is an American pastime, beginning in the late 1800's. In the early 1900's, pro wrestling started as a form of entertainment during the carnival days continuing to evolve to the mainstream in the 1980's and globally today. 

Whether you're young or old, wrestling comes to your town you can't help but get excited. It brings families and generations together, fathers and sons, grandparents and grand children. ACW and NWA Wisconsin are family. Wrestlers and crew have created friendships, bonds and memories in the places the company passes through that will last a lifetime. 

When NWA Wisconsin comes to your community, they look to find ways to grow together. First and foremost, they show faith by sponsorship to get return business in the area from the show. They go beyond what is expected. If a fan wants an autograph or get a picture, they love doing that. They encourage those things, as it is understood that without the fans, the company wouldn’t be here. 

You may not have heard of some of the wrestlers, but you may see some of them down the road on television.  Such distinguished alumni as "Kamikaze" Ken Anderson, C.M. Punk, Shortstack, Shawn Daivari, and ODB have graduated from here to the national promotions, and legends like Kevin Nash, Marty Jannetty, King Kong Bundy, Larry Zbyszko, Jerry Lawler, Demolition Smash, Brutus Beefcake and The Honky Tonk Man that have passed through NWA Wisconsin’s doors over the years, 

ACW & NWA Wisconsin continue to build upon its legacy, providing fans with the best wrestling action money can buy.
