In a move that strengthens the ever-growing network of independent wrestling promotions across the globe, ACTION Wrestling has officially joined forces with West Coast Pro Wrestling, adding its name to a lineup that already includes New Texas Pro, Germany’s Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), and St. Louis Anarchy.
Announced earlier today out of Tyrone, Georgia, the partnership reinforces ACTION’s long-standing mission: to be a southeastern stronghold for independent wrestling while elevating talent to a worldwide audience. After seven years of showcasing emerging stars and international standouts, the promotion is now poised to extend its reach even further.
ACTION Wrestling made it clear that this collaboration isn’t just a handshake, it’s an opportunity to bring champions, contenders, and fresh matchups to fans hungry for quality wrestling. Their current champions stand tall at the center of this new phase: ACTION World Champion Darian Bengston, and the ACTION Tag Team Champions Jay Lucas & Terry Yaki, three competitors who have built reputations on grit, consistency, and show-stealing performances.
This new alliance also means ACTION will recognize the titleholders of its partner promotions, including West Coast Pro World Heavyweight Champion Vinnie Massaro, Women’s World Champion Johnnie Robbie, Golden Gate Champion Andrew Cass, and World Tag Team Champions The Crush Boys, the duo of Starboy Charlie & Titus Alexander.
ACTION’s leadership sees this as more than a talent swap. CEO Matt Griffin emphasized that the goal is long-term growth, creating a shared ecosystem where promotions elevate one another while offering performers more opportunities and fans more reasons to stay invested. With 2026 approaching, the timing couldn’t be better.
For ACTION, West Coast Pro, New Texas Pro, wXw, and St. Louis Anarchy, this isn’t just cooperation—it’s a statement. Independent wrestling is thriving, and these promotions are intent on shaping its future together.
