Modesto Championship Wrestling

From Bywpedia

Modesto Championship Wrestling (MCW) was a backyard wrestling promotion that formed around 1996 and was founded by Josh James.

History

MCW debuted around 1996 and followed the extreme hardcore era ushered in towards the late 1990's, displaying aerial and reckless hardcore elements and contracted mixed age performers between minorly aged to young adults, as few of the minor aged performer's parents conveyed their concerns.

For publication, the promotion held a weekly show aired across a public access station that James edited with the addition of music and graphics and faced competition with federations in the regional area. James, regarded as the "Vince McMahon of backyard wrestling", kept to tight regulations emphasizing on attendance by his performers and dedication and made prohibition on missing more than one event with the consequence resulting in a suspension or dismissal.
