Who We Are
Built on graft. Powered by the North West.
The Original Lancashire Wrestling Federation League.
Founded in 2006 by Corey "Valo" Carver, Jayyy McPhail and Tom Baron, Radical Wrestling League grew from a backyard crew into a professional promotion running live events across Blackburn with Darwen, and a training school that shaped a generation of wrestlers.
From a field in Ewood, Turning Medieval, The Stone Circle, to Fit2XL Gym, over St. Paul's in Blackburn to Darwen's Hollin's Grove Con Club and Crown Paint Social Club, RWL gave home-grown talent a stage, and hosted rising stars who'd go on to define British wrestling. RWL went on hiatus in 2018, but the story isn't finished.
A Living Legacy
The bell can always ring again.
RWL is more than a memory. This site honours everything that came before, and it's ready for whatever comes next. New and old shows, news and drops will land here first.
