Squared Circle Wrestling

2CW (Squared Circle Wrestling) is an independent wrestling promotion, based out of Syracuse, New York which began holding events in April of 2006. They have held events in Syracuse, Utica, Rochester, Watertown, Oswego, Amsterdam, and Binghamton, NY since that time. They utilize local talent and they bring in regional and national workers to make for a well rounded roster.

Although 2CW currently only has one title, the 2CW Heavyweight Title. They've also featured title matches for the TNA X Division Championship, the Pro Wrestling NOAH Global Hardcore Crown, the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. In November 2008, Hellcat and Triple X won the NWA Upstate Tag Team Titles and declared themselves the 2CW Tag Team Champions. 2CW didn't recognize them as such, and it was announced that a tournament would take place in June 2009 to decide the first holders of the 2CW Tag Team Titles.

2CW is also known for their very vocal and supportive fanbase, referred to as "The 2CW faithful." Bill Alfonzo once described the 2CW crowd as being the closest thing that he's seen to the Original ECW fans. In addition to the fans, 2CW has also become very similar to the original ECW in terms of the way it's been shown that anything might happen, and that anyone might show up. For over a year 2CW was involved with the NWA Upstate feud that featured several big matches and crazy brawls that go all over the arena. Including sparking a mini-riot in Binghamton, NY.

The Central New York area used to be a common stop for the major wrestling companies but that changed over the last 20 years and most promotions only run in the New York City area. 2CW has taken that opportunity to bring Professional Wrestling back to the forgotten region of New York State.

Institute of Professional Wrestling
The 2WC promotion also runs a wrestling school called the Institute of Professional Wrestling which is based in Syracuse, New York. It's head trainer is Zaquary Springate III who was trained in the prestigious "Killer" Kowalski's School of Wrestling. The school trains in all of the aspects of wrestling. Interview skills, refereeing, manager skills, psychology, dressing room etiquette, and more. Once deemed appropriate you will make the jump to live events. Remember, your reputation means everything in this business so it is always important to conduct yourself in a professional manner at the training facility.

The school accepts men and women at least 18 years of age (14 and older provided a parent provides written permission) to apply.
