Thank you very much for the shout out. We aren't married yet but hopefully will before long

Anyone remember KIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG Ross winning WCPW Announcer of the Year by beating out people like JR.

WCPW World Cup.. That was a legit world cup

I went to KirbyMania, front row. I met Blampaid, Pacitti and Ross. I also got to too sweet Cody and that moment I’ll never forgot so...thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Without WCPW, I wouldn't have known about Will Ospreay, Pete Dunne, Rampage, Primate, Noam Darr, and Drew Galloway's promo to Joseph Connors

The time WhatCulture was on top making amazing content when you guys were still employed their were some of the best times to be watching KZfaq. Shit was incredible to watch

Adam: Welcome to What Culture Pro Wrestling! You will love it!

Was hoping you guys would do something like this. WCPW was my first experience with watching wrestling outside WWE. Thanks for introducing me to the world of Non-WWE wrestling guys.

It’s a shame that Blampaid wasn’t able to come back for this special podcast to reminisce with these lads. It’s a shame how he left, and though I’m glad he’s happy and doing what he wants, it’s a shame that all that happened right as Cultaholic was going to launch. Miss his presence. Wonderful special, guys!

I have some of the fondest memories of WCPW. I suffer from depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia which makes attending live events really difficult but I think over the course of the promotion I managed to attend four live shows, splurging on front row tickets each time. It felt like a really big deal for me to be able to attend a wrestling show but the atmosphere was so positive, and the fans felt so welcoming that it was some of the least stressful live events I’ve ever attended. I did have to leave a couple of shows before the end when my brain betrayed me but I got to see some fabulous wrestlers perform. Seeing Penta El Zero M wrestle in the World Cup was amazing but perhaps my absolute favourite memory was the infamous top rope incident where the top rope broke and the performers improvised around it to create a really memorable match that took a negative and turned it into a wonderful positive. I never got to see a Defiant show because my mental health problems have largely worsened over time which has taken live events off the menu but I’ll be forever grateful that I got to see such amazing talents ply their trade. It will be sadly missed.

Sad to see WCPW close down. Stopped watching a bit after Cultaholic was formed. Lots of good storylines (BX VS Pachiti Club, Pachiti VS Kirby, Heel Joseph Connors) great wrestlers (Kurt Angle, Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Broken Matt Hardy) and excellent concepts (WCPW World Cup, a rumble to see who faced Kurt Angle, a ROH title defense to kick things off). RIP WCPW

Awesome podcast idea, seems like you guys walked away from WCPW with some very happy memories.

The "my name is Cody Goddamn Rhodes" promo from True Legacy... I loved that moment.

Just me that got a bit emotional when they thanked “you-know-who” at the end? He knows we all miss him and hope he’s doing well, and hopefully Jack, Adam, Sam and Ross (as well as everyone at Cultaholic) keep doing amazing things.

So Adam was the Vince of WCPW ordering the commentators what to say and shouting at them if they didn't.

I remember Adam coming back to WC and announcing WCPW, wow how time flies. RIP in piece WCPW/Defiant

To me this promotion always started as two guys fighting over a cardboard belt that then turned into this amazing wrestling promotion. I'm sad that its gone as its one of two indy shows that I've been following. Again thank you for starting something that I would follow for the last three years. Cheers!

WCPW was my introduction to the world of indie wrestling, and I am forever grateful to both it and the cultaholic lads for dragging me down that little rabbit hole. I've never looked back, I've enjoyed every moment of this wacky world, made new friends and WCPW was even the first wrestling show I ever went to live, which made memories I'll treasure forever. All I can really say to that company is: I'll miss you And thank you for being Defiant to the end.

I still remember when WCPW was featured in NJPW when Kushida won. And all other NJPW talents were also featured in WCPW. RIP WCPW...

You guys worked so hard on WCPW, it exposed me to Wrestling as a whole. Thank you all for what you did.

Prospect was underrated as hell. Damn good doing anything from comedy to getting you emotionally invested in their final tag team championship challenge.

Being there live at those early shows felt like I was part of something really special. I was going through a really tough time back then, and these shows gave me something to look forward to and helped me a lot. Thanks for the memories WCPW.

Loved this so much, made me so happy to hear you guys talking so warmly about your time in WCPW and mentioning Blampied as well was lovely to hear. Love you guys ❤️

Honestly WCPW was my introduction to the biggest UK wrestlers right now

Damn...Wcpw... Takes me way back. Miss the old days. Thanks for the video fellas.

Now bring Simon Miller in Straight To Hell.

Waiting for that list of the 10 best WCPW /Defiant matches.

I owe each and everyone of you who worked for WCPW/defiant a big thank you. I'm in France and here, except for WWE, there is not much exposure of professionnal wrestling. And thanks to WCPW you introduce me to so much talent like Damo, Hendry, Rampage, Joseph Connors, Joe Coffey, Primate, BT Gunn, Travis Banks, Bea Pristley, Marty Scrull,... I remembered being very excited every week to watch WCPW. This company has contribute so much for professionnal wrestling and people might not know it which is sad. But we must be thankful it happened and not sad that it ended. Thank you to all of you and everyone who worked for WCPW/Defiant. Gone but not forgotten

My favourite moment was Adam Pacitti going through a table by Bubba Ray Dudley

The glowstick moment was definitely one of the highlights, and I'll always be proud of the small part I inadvertently played in making it happen. I had taken glowsticks for me and my mates to the previous Loaded taping(#10), and it was off the back of that that someone on the Facebook fan-page rallied people to bring them en-masse to RTL. Hadn't realized until now that WCPW also handed a bunch out, but I know there were at least several hundred brought by fans themselves. Such a fun moment, and I have many fond memories of the promotion, especially in that first year or so.

You guys got me back into wrestling! Other Adam too, you’ve helped me through dark times and kept me happy at my lowest points. WCPW exposed me to British wrestling and even more independent wrestling and I can’t thank you enough! Also the World Cup was incredible

You guys talk about who were the Heart and Soul of WCPW, but you guys were the backbone. I loved see the interaction between you guys and the wrestlers and you could feel that you enjoyed it as the wrestlers also did. The adpocalyps hurt WCPW, but when you left it was the nail in the coffin.

WCPW was my window into the Eurpoean Wrestling scene. Thanks for the chat, gents.

What about John o Clock? Never laughed that much in my entire life!

WCPW really was a great show and was my first introduction to a TON of indie talent who would later go on to be in WWE or Impact or AEW or NJPW or what have you. Really incredible line ups you guys put together.

You guys should do a video talking about your old Whatculture days, how it all started and what lead to you leaving.

I remember Joe Hendry's titantron video of him singing before he faced Damo. That really made me laugh!

Drew Galloway vs Will Osprey is still one of my favourite matches of all time.

I remember getting to meet you guys in Orlando for the egging of Adam, boy that was some fun stuff. State of Emergency was a great show and ive gotta thank you for the great entertainment, keep it up!

I remember being so excited when wcpw was first announced. That seems like a lifetime ago now

I remember when Paige got suspended, and I said “don’t worry, maybe WCPW will start a woman’s division”. It also introduced me to Big Damo. It was one of my favorite indie promotions

My first taste of independent wrestling,it was great n they do the deliver on their promise,I LOVE IT :D

Was kinda hoping Adam and Ross would be back for this one.

The last thing I expected to hear from this podcast was a story about wwe superstar EC3 grappling with a fan in a Newcastle night club, what a brilliant thing WCPW was

WCPW introduce me UK wrestling I never looked back

Really fond memories of these shows. I remember Jay Lethal Vs El Ligero being the first stand out match and Martin Kirby Vs Will Ospreay is not just the best match in WCPW history but still the best match I've seen live. Thanks for getting me into independent wrestling.

The early days of WCPW were my favorite. Once all the interesting people left What Culture I stop watching.

You should be very proud of what you achieved. Well done lads.

I wish you could get the whole crew back together like an nWo reunion and do something one if these days.

WCPW properly introduced me to guys like ricochet and will ospreay and without it I wouldn't know who Rampage, Martin Kirby, Travis Banks, Bea Priestley orJoseph Conners are. Love that with Patreon we could see a new WCPW. It should stay the same but be called World Cultaholic Pro Wrestling. It would be way cooler than just CPW

Easily one of the best videos you have guys have done since the jump to Cultaholic! It was awesome hearing old stories and memories from something that meant so much to so many people!

Osprey vs Galloway was incredible. Utterly fantastic

I’d love to see some sort of Whatculture x Cultaholic collaboration to honor WCPW

I've said for ages that the Drew promo when he returned is one of the greatest wrestling promos of all time.

"I'm gentle" Jack really sounds like Will there, it's Uncanny

8:43 Holy shit, this the 1st time he’s been mention since his release?

I always felt the re-brand killed it, although as it happened at the same time as the walk-out, it's hard to tell. Re-brand seemed pretentious, ditching the internet name which is where it all started, felt strangely betrayed.

Great to be able to hear you guys finally talk about all this

I travelled from London to Newcastle for the Stacked taping, and Loaded the night after. One of the best weekends of my life, especially the post-show drinks at Trillian's just chatting to you lads, and some absolute superstars.

Love this podcast lads. It's awesome that you still loved that part of WC days and Jim Cornette has mentioned how much he enjoyed doing that show on his podcast a few times recently btw.

these guys made me come back and fall in love all over again with wrestling, this was a nice trip through WCPW memory

I went to the World Cup Quarter Finals amazing show got to meet you all. Thanks to WCPW I got to meet my hero Marty Scurll

One of the biggest moments for me was when there was a video that had a voice over by Jay Lethal and I just thought “they’re actually doing it like they are actually doing it

Remember when Broken Matt Hardy DELETED Jack The Jobber. OOOOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEEEESSSSSS

I loved this guys! Will miss WCPW/Defiant! WCPW came at a time when my love of pro wrestling was getting rekindled and I loved every moment of WCPW

My favourite moment of all time was holding up a 'Fist me Felicia' sign and it being used in a WTF moments by Ross. I squeaked when I saw it.

WCPW introduced me into indie wrestling. I loved Kirby vs Pacitti Club storyline and it sucks we won’t be getting a second Pro Wrestling World Cup. WCPW was responsible for so many of my favorite matches in the past few years.

This made my night... Thanks for the memories guys, WCPW was amazing and everyone involved was amazing.

I loved WCPW, I was lucky enough to get to go to one show live which was KirbyMania and it was brilliant. I also got to meet Marty Scurll and Zack Sabre Jr there, as well as Kenny at the bar. Thank you guys and the rest of the guys for everything

2016/17 was peak indie wrestling. Now that WWE and AEW have signed most of the top indie stars companies like WCPW/Defiant were always gonna struggle

The heel turn when you cashed in on jack was top quality 👌🏻

I remember being at the show in germany for the world cup and meeting Adam and Sam and talking to them as well, was lovely and my first live wrestling show I ever went to.

This is a really cool/classy decision to make a tribute podcast for WCPW. It would also be nice if y’all can post any pics you have on social media too. I bet there’s some really cool moments captured that no one else has seen.

I’ve followed you since day 1. This is my favourite thing you’ve done. Just really great stuff, guys.

I remember watching the first taping all excited, I had never watched any indie show ever besides njpw and RoH. After watching that first WCPW show, i was hooked. It made me a fan of the promotion but also did something else. It made me start watching any British promotion i could find. I thank you guys so much for making me a fan and opening my eyes to the British wrestling scene. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Watching you guys start and star in WCPW was super cool. Very obvious that a bunch of wrestling fans and friends realized some of their dreams, even if you weren't there forever

Martin Kirby: REF, REF, I HURT ME WILLY

Nostalgia crying is a beautiful cry. Damn I wish we could go back.

I haven't watch Defiant for a while to be honest but watching this reminds you just how many great moment WCPW actually had which in hindsight is truly amazing.

Remembering REDACTED Pro Wrestling. All honesty though this was cool. :)

I'll never forget Drew Galloway's promo to Joseph Connors. Genuinely one of the greatest promos of all time.

It's so good to hear all these happy memories and positive stories.

Thanks for doing this guys, really enjoy the closure and looking back on some great times. I saw some amazing matches at WCPW shows, Ricochet v Galloway being one of the standouts, and for your work in allowing that to happen I'm super grateful.

Many thanks for this video, absolutely loved it. I remember being so invested in WCPW for a long time and being taken back on this journey has been such fun. I look forward to continuing to here these stories and how much people loved what everyone did with WCPW

Went to a show in elephant & castle with a friend of mine twice & it was my 2nd & 3rd wrestling event I ever saw, got to see Pete Dunn & Cody wrestle and met the wrestle talk guys. Wcpw will be missed.

One of the best videos you guys have done. I love how (also true in the Whatculture farewell to wcpw) both companies speak so freely of each other. It’s great to see that despite the backstage issues and tensions both parties are thanking each other, and recognise their respective contributions. Most importantly, it’s nice that some of you guys are still friends

Just what we all asked for and so damn glad we got it. I'm going to watch this right now, even tho I'm at work

WCPW gave me so of my best memories and i’ll be forever grateful for the shows you put on and the content you made!

WCPW provided so many great moments! It made me a Drew Galloway super fan with his gold promo, title win and a number of incredible matches. I'm really gonna miss it

MY FAVOURITE WCPW MATCH WAS CODY RHODES VS RICOCHET AT LIGHTS OUT 2017

An amazing 2 and a half hours. this has been a brilliant watch, thank you.

This was such good watching. I tuned in/got back into wrestling towards the end of your time with WhatCulture, so although I was aware of WCPW I never actually watched a lot of it live. This was really interesting to learn more about it, cheers lads.

I didnt wach my first WCPW match till after Raw this past Monday. I had never seen a Will Ospreay match and new WC would post some of his matches from when he was there. It was clear from the very beginning that people loved this promotion and i wish i was from the UK so i could have seen a show.

Hey fellas, you did a great job with this podcast. It was great listening to you reminiscing. I'm glad you have such fond memories and people really enjoy all the efforts you and all the team put into the product.

Never gonna forget going to that Coventry show. Love everything you guys did and love everything you’re doing. Thanks for the memories and good luck for the future😊

This was a lovely walk down memory lane and a pleasant surprise. Thanks lads, you're the best!

Two matches that I really enjoyed from WCPW were Travis Banks vs Zack Sabre Jr. at Lights Out and Will Ospreay vs. Rey Mysterious during the World Cup. The World Cup in general, just all of it, is probably my favorite wrestling related thing that I've seen and has yet to be topped. I didn't stick around after the rebranding, to much had changed and I didn't care for the booking, and I do regret that. I wish Defiant was still around so I could go back to it. Either way, I'm going to miss WCPW/Defiant but I'm glad I got too see some great wrestling while it was around.

Great podcast! Thank you for sharing so many of your memories from WCPW! I was at the first London show, it was incredible and to be there for Galloway's promo is a memory that will stay with me! That and Adam's arsecrack!

The Pro Wrestling World Cup introduced me to the wrestling world outside of WWE. For that I am eternally grateful to you guys.

...and Joseph Conners
