A
professional wrestling promotion
is a
Company
or
Business
that performs regular shows involving
Professional Wrestling
for monetary gain.
Currently, the only major wrestling organizations left in North America are
World Wrestling Entertainment
, the
National Wrestling Alliance
(NWA),
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
(TNA) (a former NWA member that is still loosely linked to that organization),
Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre
and
Asistencia Asesoría Y Administración
. Of these, WWE is by far the largest and most influential. However, outside North America, there are other federations throughout
Europe
and also in
Japan
,
South America
,
Puerto Rico
,
Hawaii
and the rest of the
Caribbean
. However there are also a number of small independent wrestling organizations that are upstarts. Or they are the creations of former wrestlers from the bigger promotions. Some of the lesser known independent organizations include
Atlas Championship Wrestling
(ACW),
New World Wrestling
(NWW), and the
New Wrestling Horizon
(NWH) just to name a few.
