Spotlight: Who are NORTH Wrestling

Founded on July 30, 2016, NORTH Wrestling has rapidly evolved from a regional passion project in Newcastle to one of the major players in the UK's independent professional wrestling scene.

Operating under the mantra, "Grit isn’t just a word, it’s what we’re made of," the promotion is defined by its hard-hitting action, raucous, up-close atmosphere, and a welcoming, inclusive community of fans known as the "NORTH faithful." Having grown from early shows to sold-out events at venues like the Walker Dome and Anarchy Brewery, the company is now intent on becoming one of the premier destinations for wrestling fans across the entire UK.

The promotion's commitment to quality extends beyond the ring. NORTH boasts an award-winning visual team and an experienced crew that includes the dynamic commentary duo of Cultaholic’s Tom Campbell and Veda Scott.

For almost a decade, NORTH has served as an essential proving ground for talent, regularly hosting wrestlers currently featured in global promotions like WWE, AEW, TNA, and NJPW. High-profile alumni who have graced the NORTH canvas include Pete Dunne and Joe Hendry, alongside legends like Scotty 2 Hotty and Gangrel, ensuring every show remains unpredictable and world-class.

In a move set to push the promotion into the mainstream, NORTH Wrestling is preparing to face its toughest opponents yet: the investors on BBC's Dragons' Den. The company is confirmed to appear on the popular business show on October 23, as owner and promoter Andrew Bowers and his team will be pitching their vision, business model, and growth potential to the Dragons, seeking crucial investment to expand their operations and solidify their status as the UK's top independent promotion.

This landmark TV appearance follows a successful year for the company, which recently received the Royal Television Society North East and Borders 2025 award, underscoring its ambition to bridge the gap between niche pro wrestling and mainstream appreciation.
