The name might not necessarily be the most imaginative, but British Championship Wrestling prides itself on trying to use a bit of imagination, on trying to bring you something a bit different now and again. We're honest enough to stand up and admit that we're not "Britain's most hardcore, most extreme, most violent federation..." etc. We don't use explosives or thumb-tacks, we don't throw ourselves through sheet-glass nor shove barbed-wire up our arses. We have seen bloodshed, we've experienced a broken arm, though we're not here to brag about it. This is our yard and that is all part and parcel of the game we play. We're not prepared to end up in a wheelchair by the age of 20, just in some inane attempt to earn a contract with XPW or Japanese Fireball Psycho Wrestling or whatever. If you think we're pussies, then fair play, but at least take 5 minutes to look round our websites and check out what we do. We also send our videos free-of-charge.

BritChamp seeks to combine big bumps with some tongue-in-cheek comedy and genuine storylines to produce its own unique brand of output. With quality resources and in-depth journalism to support the cause, BCW, the orange 'n' blue crew, endeavours to make its mark in its own indomitable style. Just as we ain't badass kings of the deathmatch, neither are we a bunch of 14-year old, 7-stone luchadors: we include some genuine 300lb. workers on our roster, operating chiefly in the 18-22-year old age group. At the end of the day, we're just a bunch of mates who are game for a laugh and want to be able to show our grandchildren that we used to kick a bit of arse in our day.

Based near Swindon, Wiltshire (West Country meets Thames Valley), BCW formed in May of 2000 when we broke away from Swindon's original backyard group, the BWF: any dates referred to before this time are largely fictional. Our goal was to find the right blend of garbage, scientific and 'American' wrestling with a humoristic and 'British' slant. To this day that remains the ethic that we preach, no bullshit.

Anybody even vaguely interested in participating or just spectating at out sporadic tapings (5-10 per annum) is more than welcome, so just drop us a line. With a depleted roster, but with genuine dedication to the backyard cause, we have shown before that we are willing to take our show on the road, i.e. to Bristol and our colleagues REW. As we look to spread our net ever wider, inter-fed shows of any scale and significance are foremost in our sights, so please e-mail us if you're looking for workers. BCW: all we want is an opportunity to earn your respect.

This site was opened in August 2000, and is the unofficial BCW website. Not so much a rival to the unofficial site (rather an accompaniment), it experienced a re-design of sorts in the summer of 2001, and, as with the official site, is updated regularly. It is maintained by myself, although many of the articles are written by The Overseer, for which I am grateful. Other contributors to the site have included Graeme Watkins and Matthew Denham. Please enjoy your visit and feel free to contact us.
