An Independent Wrestling Promotion is a smaller, often locally-based organization that produces professional wrestling events outside of the major wrestling companies like WWE or AEW. These promotions typically feature a mix of emerging talent and seasoned wrestlers, providing a platform for performers to showcase their skills and gain exposure. These promotions often operate on a regional level, hosting events in various venues such as gyms, community centers, or local arenas. They play a crucial role in the wrestling industry by nurturing new talent and offering fans an alternative to mainstream wrestling entertainment.
