This is a list of various things that took place in 1958.

Significant events[]

  • The National Wrestling Alliance's Los Angeles office withdraws from the Alliance and is reformed as the North American Wrestling Alliance. The NAWA's formation stems from its decision to recognize Edouard Carpentier as its World Heavyweight Champion during a dispute that saw some NWA-affiliated territories recognize Carpentier (who had beaten Lou Thesz in a match in Chicago on June 14, 1957 when Thesz could not continue due to a back injury) as NWA World Champion, while others continued to recognize Thesz as champion
