Ladies Professional Wrestling Association

Ladies Professional Wrestling Association was a wrestling promotion based in Las Vegas, Nevada, that was active from 1989 to 1992.

The Beginning
The seeds of the LPWA were planted with the formation of Women's Championship Wrestling, the brainchild of Joseph Infante and former AWA Las Vegas area promoter Tor Berg. Women's Championship Wrestling filmed a TV pilot in 1987, which later saw video release through Video Gems.

Sports Channel & Syndication
Tor Berg with advisor Wally Karbo and producers Earl Greenburg and Steve Edwards renamed and a relaunched the LPWA on December 18, 1989 before a sold out Riverside Hotel, Laughlin, Nevada. The program was sold to Sportschannel America and aired weekly. During 1991 shorter versions of the show were syndicated all around the country.

Live Events
The LPWA taped events in:
 * Riverside Hotel and Casino Laughlin, Nevada
 * Chicago Amphitheater Chicago, Illinois
 * Jackson Coliseum Jackson, Tennessee
 * Mayo Civic Center Rochester, Minnesota

The End
The LPWA closed it's doors in March 1992 after they ran the "Super Ladies" pay per view to moderate success. An attempt to revive the LPWA as an NWA territory was made in 1997, unfortunately it fell through and the project was abandoned.
