It has been an absolutely incredible journey over the past three years, but it is with a heavy heart that we today announce that the journey must come to an end. To each and every one of you who worked on a show, attended a show, or watched a show… thank you. #WeAreDefiant #WCPW

This is sad, but I will at least appreciate all of the fantastic memories and experiences along the way. Honestly, though I did not watch weekly, this was my favorite promotion in my return to wrestling fandom. Thank you Adam and Adam. Thank you Joe Hendry, Martin Kirby, El Ligero, Primate, Prince Ameen, Bea Priestly, Big Damo, Joseph Conners, and so many more. Thank you big name stars who still lent their talents to a unique promotion. Thank you World Cup participants. Thank you behind the scenes staff who made it all tick. Thank you live fans for helping Simon start his journey, and reacting to so many other wrestlers in theirs. Thank you WhatCulture/Defiant for churning out so much free and well-edited content, and even bringing it to the States for a show. Thank you Adakain, Shattered Skies and so many more for lending your music. Thank you to the announcers, the jobbers, the camera crew, whoever bought all those pink glowsticks, whoever bought the PPVs or told their friends about this promotion. Thank you EVERYONE.

The fact that most of their talent went to NXT UK is the very reason they went out of business. Once again, WWE had to go out of its way to destroy anything that is good in pro wrestling. They even managed to turn Zack Gibson into a guy you barely even notice on tv. It's really sad.

Refuse to lose 2016 felt so big and watching it was a blast, so many fond memories of this promotion. Also very nice to see original what culture guys featured in this tribute. Sad that it’s over happy that it happened.

#ThankYouDefiant I consider it an honour to have attended all your shows that took place in my hometown of Sheffield. From the shows I attended and the Loaded episodes on KZread, you introduced me to several great stars such as Benji, Conor Renshaw, Martin Kirby, Mark Haskins and David Starr and for that, I thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏 #WCPW #WeAreDefiant

i wouldn't even know who Joe Hendry, Big Damo, Martin Kirby, Primate, Joe Coffey, El Ligero, and Will Ospreay were if not for WCPW. it was a great run, guys. i can still remember the first episode. was very excited for you boys when news broke out. and Blampied-Pacitti was my favorite feud. thank you. and as Blampied always said, "i'll see you, soon."

WCPW was a once in a lifetime company, experience, and showcase of UK talent that I don't think we will ever see again. Thanks to everyone for the memories Rest In Peace.

Gutted, wcpw introduced me to a lot of the British indie scene and motivated me to start wrestling training, my goal was to one day work a wcpw/defiant show. Thanks for the memories

Really nice to see acknowledgement to the Cultaholic guys/Blampied for their work in WCPW. It kinda feels like this promotion had two different lives; with WCPW being more about the guys from the channel and Defiant being its own flagship thing in British independent wrestling. Good job, lads. Defiant will be missed.

This company introduced me to independent wrestling and so many of my favourite wrestlers as well as one of my favourite matches ever (Rey Mysterio vs Will Ospreay in the Pro Wrestling World Cup). Thankyou for providing us with amazing shows and matches.

WCPW was one of the greatest companies on planet earth at its peak, I don't care what anyone says. RIP. Thank you for the memories.... ❤

This is the first company to introduce me to Ricochet, Will Ospreay, Marty Scrull and many others. RIP Defiant 2016-2019😔

Thanks so much for introducing me to guys like Gabriel Kidd, Joseph Conners, Moustache Mountain and Martin Kirby. It was always a fun night when I could go and see one of your shows and whether you were WCPW or Defiant you always put a smile on my face. Thank you

Sounds a bit selfish but could you release all the PPVs so we can all fully experience the 3 great years of professional wrestling that you produced

Man this sucks 😥... they introduced me to soooo many new up and coming European wrestlers. Thank you guys so much for giving us a great product to watch good WRESTLING

Genuinely in tears at this. As a fan since day one, this news was absolutely devastating. Without WCPW, I would never have been introduced to stars like Will Ospreay, Martin Kirby, Joe Hendry, Gabriel Kidd, and all the other amazing talents your shows gave me a chance to see. I would never have been motivated to start watching companies outside of WWE, and I would still be a wrestling fan missing out on all of the awesome performers and companies out there. Thank you for every joyful moment, for moments that made me cry, jump out of my seat, and cheer like mad. This company was one of a kind, and will be missed by all of its fans. #ThankYouDefiant #ThankYouWCPW

I'm shocked. Thank you for all the memories. I've been watching WCPW/Defiant Wrestling since the start, and now it's done. Good luck in your future endeavors.

It says a lot that many of the people who were showcased in this wrestling company have gone onto show their talents and worldwide stages. Thanks for the memories, they were all great.

You guys did a amazing job of not only bringing the company to prominence but also bringing stars to Prominence

Man, that really sucks. Thank you for the many, many hours of great wrestling you gave us! At one point it was by far the best wrestling company in the UK. Sad you've had to end it but I'm just glad it existed in the first place. Rest easy Defiant Wrestling.

This will forever be in my heart as it was my first exposure to independent/UK wrestling and knowing there was a lot to explore back in 2016. Thank you so much, you will be missed.

Thank you for the memories. You introduced me to so many guys and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you WCPW/Defiant

First independent company I started watching, I guess sometimes good things really do just have to end...

600th like. Hopefully one of thousands more. Thanks for the memories, and for introducing me to some of my favorite wrestlers. You got me through a period where I wasn't really watching, and introduced me to the depth the British scene has to offer. May all the talent land somewhere else, where we all can see them shine. And to everyone in the comments, both familiar faces and new, I love you all. Thank you for making these last 3 years memorable, and for being great wrestling fans. #WeAreDefiant

Thank you for everything, I've been subscribing since the first WCPW loaded. Good luck to each and everyone of you in the future.

Damn, WrestleCircus, now WCPW/Defiant. It's like the niche indy promotions are starting to die off. WCPW/Defiant had an intimate setting, like an underground type of vibe. We need more of those promotions everywhere.

You were the first promotion I followed. You are the reason I'm currently looking for a wrestling school. Your promotion was a bit if a light in a dark time for me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Wcpw was my door to independent wrestling, ROH, NPJW, British wrestling. I followed Austin Aries’s belt collector through Defiant. I wish this was the end because I saw a lot of great talent come and go but I guess everything lasts forever. Thank you WCPW/ Defiant Wrestling.

Thank you so much Defiant for bringing us a great part of the Best of british wrestling. Gretings from México. MUCHAS GRACIAS DEFIANT, DESCANZA EN PAZ.

Thank you for everything you guys have done for the British wrestling scene and thank you for the amazing memories

A lot of great moments and memories for me, thank you for keeping me entertained.

Thank you for everything guys you introduce me to independent and I truly feel without you show us the greatness that Great British wrestlers and the world has to show. I've been lucky enough to be at some of your shows and I can truly say that they have been the best shows I've ever been to and #wewillalwaysbedefiant

Oh crap. I did not see this coming. I will miss Defiant and interacting in the chats. I had a blast watching Defiant, and this is unexpected and hard to accept.

Goodnight sweet prince

My favorite British pro wrestling promotion.... I am beyond sad right now thank you for all the memories. #WeAreDefiant #DefiantForever

Osprey vs Galloway is still one of my favourite matches ever. Thank you, guys!

The Pro Wrestling World Cup was the first show I watched from you guys and it was purely amazing. Got me to follow so much talent since then. Thank you so much for what you've done for independent wrestling

Thank you for always putting on great shows with wrestlers who LOVE this business. You guys really are the best and will be missed.

Thank you for all the memories. had the pleasure of attending several shows and always enjoyed each one.

This revived my love for Indy wrestling, they built new stars that I hope to see sometimes in WWE/AEW. All I can say is thank you!

Thank you so much for everything you've done for the fans

Thank you, this was incredible, you gave me a lot of emotions, showed me awesome wrestlers and characters . RIP

Thank you Defiant ✌️ so many great matches and innovating ideas. Really a big part of me getting into the it scene

I could go on for hours about how this makes me feel and what I think about the whole thing, but I'll just keep it short and sweet - I have only love for WCPW/DEFIANT. You will be remembered and greatly missed. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Thank you for giving the incredible memories from Kirbymania in my homecity of liverpool!!! one of the best nights in 20 years as a wrestling fan!! i will always hold it in my heart very close :)

Defiant, I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart, Thank you! You were one of the first shows pro wrestling shows watched and u showed me why it is absolutely amazing! U are the reason I fell in love with it and I just wanna say thank you so so much! ❤️😭

This promotion changed the way I look at wrestling. I have so many fond memories from you guys. From the epic finish of Galloway v. Hendry v. Connors, to Kirby hitting the Zoidberg Elbow, to Gabriel Kidd finally winning a match, the beautiful stories of Slater/Moss and Prospect, Will Ospreay's valiant performance in a handicap match with War Machine, the list just goes on and on and on. This promotion was always bigger than just a KZread channel. You introduced so many people to the amazing talent on the British scene, so many casual WhatCulture fans who decided to pick up an episode of Loaded. I may have fallen off watching a bit towards the end, but I always kept up with the highlights. I always stayed Defiant. Thank you all so much. Genuinely sad to see you go, but grateful I got to take the ride.

Thank you for all the incredible memories you've gave us all. No one will ever forget everything you've done to make an impact for the wrestling business. You've made it revolutionary for the teenage

Love the memories thank y'all for everything y'all really got me to be osprey and the villain Marty scroll fan since the start with wcpw

Thank you for so many mark out moments, dream matches, and introductions to wrestlers I now love and watch weekly. And thanks for including the first time Kirby actually hit the Zoidberg elbow lol

WCPW was rocking for so long. good luck to everyone in their future endeavors!!! This has been one of my favorite promotions to watch over the past four-ish years.

Perfect song choice to capture the legacy of what you all did. Thank you.

Thank You WCPW/Defiant, I remember watching you since college and its sad to see this 3 year journey come to and end. Wish there was more but all good things come to an end. Thank you for entertaining me and everyone else.

Thank you Defiant for the memories! Good luck to all the workers to whatever they do next

I just started watching earlier in the year and I enjoyed every episode. So for that I say thank you.

Much love for the three wonderful years, you gave us guys. Thank you, and to all the performers and crew.

took my mom to the wcpw show during wrestlemania weekend in orlando and she said it the most fun she has ever had at a wrestling show. great memories

Thank you WCPW/Defiant for everything. You made my crappy life better for a few hours. Thank you for everything

This channel helped me find my way back to enjoying the art of wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen of WCPW/Defiant Wrestling, we the fans can not thank you enough!

Thank You for the great shows... always will remember the show in berlin germany :)

Thanks for all the shows, gonna miss em. Hopefully another company steps in to fill the void

I thought it was weird that Built to Destroy was put up online, in full, for free. Now it makes sense, in fact, the last few months all make sense now. It was an attempt to make this company work, to lower its costs and try to be profitable... suffice it to say, it didn't work. I wish that wasn't the case, I wish it could have happened... but it didn't work out that way. I am glad this company existed. I'm glad it offered exposure to so many that truly deserved it (despite also giving it to some that didn't, but that's the nature of the business). Most of all, I'm happy to know that this company will be remembered despite it shutting down. I was never fortunate enough to go to a WCPW or Defiant show, but I know several that have; however, I watched every single show that was put out. I tried to support this fantastic company as best I could, and I know I wasn't alone in doing so. Goodbye, Defiant Wrestling. You will be missed. If anything, you will be remembered for the greatness you gave to the wrestling world.

Thank you so much I appreciate everything and everyone wish everyone nothing but the best one love. From a loyal subscriber 🌠⭐

Thank you Defiant for introducing a World Cup to wrestling, and searched for wrestlers at places noone thought to do so previously. You started a really important trend, and you guys were a big part of the British Independent Wrestling boom. Through you we first heard the names Rampage Brown, Big Damo, Joseph Conners, Primate, Martin Kirby and others who were not as fortunate to have made their name in Progress or RevPro. It should have worked better than it did. But you played a really important role in wrestling history. Respect from Athens, Greece.

Thank you for amazing shows you will be missed

So many great moments and memories in wcpw /defiant wrestling .will be sorely missed

This adventure was great and eally bring me to bitish wrestling and beyond. I can't thank you enough for everything. The passion and the love for wrestling was trully there from the begining. In my opiion, your World Cup Tournament was the best ever, because it was really what it was supposed to be: a tournement with wrestlers from all around the world confronting theire styles.

#ThankYouDefiant for introducing me to arguably one of my favorite wrestlers in Joe Hendry, along with countless others that put on instant classic matches these last few years, To think this all started with a cardboard belt...

Was there from the beginning watching it on KZread so sad I never got to see a show in person. I made several plans to go to shows but sadly they never came through. Best memories the first show with Rampage doing the Piledriver with King Ross and Simon Miller on Commentary, Joe Hendry impersonating Blampied on Episode 3 and the last episode of 2016 seeing Martin Kirby become GM .All that and so much more thank you for all the memories and helping me to become the fan of independent wrestling that I am today. #ThankYouDefiant #ThankYouWCPW

I remember the debut episode. I was on vacation in Washington but I was so excited to see it. Awesome run guys. Rest in peace to an amazing company.

I will really miss this show, I was introduced to so many great wrestlers, and the greatest mixed tag match I've ever seen, thank you for all the memories.

Thank you for reigniting my love for wrestling. You guys will forever hold a place in my heart.
