World Championship Wrestling

WCW sau World Championship Wrestling a fost o companie si promotie de wrestling din Atlanta, Georgia, SUA, infiintata de magnatul Ted Turner, ce a activat din 1988 pana in 2001.

Logo-ul companiei

A contribuit enorm la popularitatea wrestlingului, dand nastere controversatului nWo (New World Order). A fost rivala WWF-ului si a avut rating mai mare decat aceasta timp de 84 de saptamani consecutive (1996–1998). Dupa un declin, WCW a fost ulterior cumparata in 2001 de Vince McMahon (patronul WWF, ulterior devenita WWE).

Oficial, World Championship Wrestling a devenit defuncta abia in 2017.
