Defiant Wrestling (Defiant)

Defiant Wrestling is a British professional wrestling promotion founded in 2016 by members of WhatCulture Wrestling, a YouTube subsidiary in WhatCulture. Com, based in Newcastle. The promotion was originally called What's Culture Pro Wrestling named after the YouTube channel WhatCulture; and after leaving several on the air of talent from WCPW, the new general manager on the screen, Stu Bennett, announced that the promotion was re-branded as Defiant Fight.

"This promotion doesn't deserve a 10 just because of it's great content, but because they give a lot of exposure to wrestlers not recognize by mainstream media due to their extremely popular youtube channel

The first impression wasn't that good, so they have to step things up quickly. Something I could imagine working for them, is if they drop the regular formula and make things more "smarky", if that makes sense.

Overall it's fine nothing to groundbreaking but they have only gone through 2 episodes so we'll see how things go and if i may have to change my rating."

They are really entertaining in my opinion. I think they are going to be the most entertaining thing ever

ICW polishes it. And i like it because they make refferences to themselves, a good balance os fine wrestlingm a dose os kinda realism and smark awareness. Deffinitely not a perfect promotion

The company keeps getting better. But mainly in the card. That would ensist that they have more money if you can book Jay Lethal and Moose in your first 10 shows.

That's why I don't understand why the quality isn't getting better. You can buy a couple of screens. good cameras and hire professionals from the money you make on shows like that.

It's a good promotion. The thing is, it's almost as if you would've had to have been a fan before WCPW to understand the characters and like the characters. Also, their is great wrestling but most of their shows just DRAG

"I'm an extremely casual fan and this is the first promotion I've religiously followed. So happy that I did find

WWE. Now he is working with his own pieces and its clearly a whole different story. What I liked however was the enthusiastic crowd. It's safe to assume that all of those are hardcore fans of the YouTube

They are guys that like wrestlingm you feel it, they want to give their vision of not too over the top characters.

He Built to Destroy special event was outstanding. The previous shows has been a bit average but I'm glad they've finally worked it out and replaced the commentators.

Jay Lethal and Aaron Stevens for what I assume to be occasional guest appearances. But so far, even with rose tinted glasses there was nothing that impressed me and the negatives far outweigh the positives.

That's what's missing to complete the picture. The firgures are kinda complete but don't have much depth. Make them get a real story line to improve instead of doing some weird green screens stuff.

The finish to the Lethal v Dar match was fantastic and to be honest the whole card was really good. Ten. Ten. Ten.

Here is A LOT of work to do for this guys. Being a fan of their YouTube channel, I was surprised about the announcement back then and thought this was going to be some backyard project

So, WhatCulture made their shows. Watched the first season and while it had appealing and effort, execution was subpar

ICW for more things than wrestler, they have their how-to with the aditions of the WhatCulture people.

NC matches, with a DQ pretty much every single one of the first episodes, the the NC match at the end of the last match before

A dress? Was I supposed to laugh? Because I didn't) Ecstatic to see that they are not done with building this promotion and that they are constantly improving the quality of the production

The new ones aren't amazing but they do they job well enough and importantly they've clearly been following the youtube channel and have context to draw on.
