Prestige Wrestling, formerly known as Prestige Championship Wrestling (PCW), was an independent professional wrestling promotion founded by William Quintana.

History

Prestige Wrestling was founded as Prestige Championship Wrestling (PCW) in 2017 and held their first show on April 15 at the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center in Hermiston, Oregon with the inaugural PCW Heavyweight Champion being crowned at the event in a no disqualification match between Kenny Lush and Mike Santiago.[1] The PCW Heavyweight Championship would change hands on June 23, 2017 during Proving Grounds when former TNA World Tag Team Champion, Davey Richards defeated both Kenny Lush and King Khash in a three way match two win the championship.[2] In late 2017, PCW would change its name to Prestige Wrestling and would hold their first event under their new name on October 27, 2017. Titled Prestige 3: Alpha // Omega, the event featured Tom Lawlor, former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion, Simon Grimm, Billy Gunn, and former ECW World Television Champion, Super Crazy.[3]

On September 29, 2019, Prestige held their first livestreamed event with Prestige Roseland at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon. Featuring commentary by Joe Dombrowski, the show featured Rhyno, All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) Orange Cassidy, and Alex Zayne. The event was headlined by a knockout or submission only match for the Prestige Championship between Tom Lawlor and Chris Dickinson.[4][5]

On March 31, 2023, Prestige made their Los Angeles debut with their Nervous Breakdown show at the Globe Theatre.[6] The show took place during WrestleMania 39 weekend as part of WrestleCon and was streamed live on Highspots with the main event match being a six man tag team match between the Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida) and Ultimo Dragon against Team Filthy (Jorel Nelson, Royce Isaacs, and Tom Lawlor).[7] On December 14, 2023, Prestige held a joint show with Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW). Originally set to be held at the Globe Theatre in Los Angeles, the event was moved to the Vermont Hollywood on after it was reported that the Globe Theatre had shut down.[8] The main event would be a tag team match between MK Ultra (Killer Kelly and Masha Slamovich) and 121000000 (Maki Ito and Miyu Yamashita) and would be streamed live on Wrestle Universe.[9]

On July 12, 2024, Prestige held their first show at the Viking Pavilion in Portland, Oregon and was the first Prestige show to be aired live on YouTube.[10] The show would also feature AEW and Ring of Honor wrestlers Shelton Benjamin, Athena, MxM (Mason Madden and Mansoor), Lio Rush, Roderick Strong, Danhausen, and Evil Uno, Major League Wrestling (MLW) wrestlers Timothy Thatcher and Alan Angels who would defend the Prestige Championship against Evil Uno, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) wrestlers Mike Santana, Sinner and Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) who would defend the Prestige Tag Team Championship against the Midnight Heat (Eddie Pearl and Ricky Gibson), C4 (Cody Chhun and Guillermo Rosas), and MxM, Masha Slamovich, and Mike Santana. The show would also feature a singles match between Motor City Machine Guns members Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin and would be the final time the two wrestlers fought each other.[11] On July 22, 2024, Prestige teamed up with Deadlock Pro-Wrestling (DPW) and West Coast Pro Wrestling to present Untouchable at the United Irish Cultural Center in San Francisco, California and would feature Calvin Tankman defending the DPW Worlds Championship against Jiah Jewell, Adam Priest defending the DPW National Championship against Vinnie Massaro, and Alan Angels defending the Prestige Championship against Starboy Charlie.[12]

In the summer of 2025, Portland Wrestling, a local promotion in Portland, Oregon announced the cancellation of their booking of Joey Ryan on a show titled Reborn, a former wrestler who was accused of sexual misconduct in 2020 with nearly 20 allegations against him. Prestige Wrestling owner William Quintana responded to the attempt by saying “If you’re on our shows and you willingly share this locker room, help set up at this show or are involved with this show you are getting pulled from all future bookings. So goddamn tired of this stuff. Gatekeep harder.”[13] Quintana also announced that Prestige would be running an event in response to this titled FJR which took place on August 23, 2025 at the Oregon Pro-Wrestling School in Hillsboro, Oregon. The profits from the show would go to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network in support of survivors of sexual violence.[14]

On September 16, 2025, it was announced that Prestige was going on an indefinite hiatus after their final show on February 20, 2026.[15] Titled Roseland XIII: The End, the event would be the final show that Prestige would hold before shutting down. On January 10, 2026, Prestige Champion Kevin Blackwood would announce his retirement match would take place on February 20, 2026.[16] In the main event, Blackwood would lose the Prestige Championship to Judas Icarus, ending his nine-year career as a wrestler.[17]
