SMASH

Smash was founded in December 2009 following the folding of Hustle. In the fall of 2009 Hustle ran into financial problems that led to several show cancellations. After a planned restructuring and restarting of the promotion failed, a number of officials and wrestlers decided to start a new project. Smash held its first show on March 26, 2010. SMASH tries to chart a different course. There are three brenches: Pro-Wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing. The Pro-Wrestling is led by Yoshihiro Tajiri while Akira Shoji is responsible for the MMA branch. Yuji Shimada leads the overall supervision of the whole project. From the once great Hustle squad, meanwhile, not much is left. Only Hajime Ohara, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Akira Shoji and KG ("Karate Girl"), which competes now under the named Shuri, were present at the press conference, was presented at the SMASH of the public.

Since 2010 Smash has had an active exchange of wrestlers with the Finnish Fight Club Finland promotion.
