  Man what a trip down memory lane. I was heavy into What Culture at this time and remember how much they were pushing WCPW and the quality of stars they got was pretty insane.<br>What Culture nowadays is a shell of what it once was; losing a lot of their most popular presenters to Cultaholic (their replacement) and not having a lot of likable folk to slide into those spots (aside Simon Miller who is awesome) hurt a lot!

  Had they not shut down in 2019, 2020 would’ve definitely gutted them due to the restrictions they had at that time

  The thing with Minoru Suzuki that&apos;s important to understand is anytime wrestling happens there&apos;s a non-zero percent chance that he&apos;ll just show up to kick someone&apos;s ass unprompted.

  The rise of Drew Galloway as a force in pro wrestling was amazing to watch. He built himself back up and showed where WWE had failed him, not the other way around. His time as WCPW champ was amazing. And look at him now! Plus Joe Hendry showed what a genius he is.

  WCPW was where I discovered some of my favorite British wrestlers. From Joe Hendry to Gabe Kidd. Kidd in particular was my guy when the company was still active, and to see him rose up the ranks and became one of the hottest young talent in the industry makes me so proud of him

  Seeing WhatCulture, Wrestletalk, Wrestling with Wregret and other wrestling YouTubers in the early-to-mid 2010s was fun. Seeing those videos in college in between classes was feel-good times and made me more interested in wrestling and its history

  I had the pleasure of refereeing on the first WCPW show and others and the first Defiant show. Great people with the best of intentions is how I found things. Fond memories with the exception of a few not so great things that happened along the way. I Hope everyone who was apart of this is doing well!<br><br>RIP to Bad Bones, I have very fond memories of travelling with him and others in a car across England to various shows for a promotion I can&apos;t recall the name of.

  While this company had its issues, the Pro Wrestling World Cup is one of my all time favorite things in wrestling to this day.
