About
The History of City Championship Wrestling
Founded in December 2020, ground was broke on June 6th, 2021 as City Championship Wrestling (CCW) was officially born!
The initial event was held in Center Line, MI at the Center Line Heritage Festival and consisted of an eight-man, single elimination tournament for the Center Line Heritage Cup plus three other bouts. Freedom Ramsey def. “Cat Daddy” Paul Bowser in the finals to capture the Center Line Heritage Cup.

CCW in 2022
April 8th 2022, we returned to live action with a HUGE six-man tag between The Purge (Sean Tyler, Kevin Kalloway and Mitch Hewitt) vs. Genesis (Chris Moore, Lance Starr and Paragon). Plus we saw the first ever CCW Round Robin Challenge between, Ryan Matthias, Trevor Straud and Darion Ultra which culminated in the first ever CCW Three Way Dance.
June 3rd 2022, we celebrated our 1st Year Anniversary with a wild night of action. Including New Albania (Andre Kabashi, Jay Abrams and Trevor Straud) and The Purge (Sean Tyler, Kevin Kalloway and Mitch Hewitt) colliding in what was to become the beginning of the end for the Purge and the continual rise of New Albania.
July 16th 2022, Jason De Milo and the “Cat Daddy” Paul Bowser’s feud came to an abrubt end in a brutal and chaotic, two out of three bouts that crossed the finish line with a bloody Texas Death Match.
September 10th 2022, City Championship Wrestling teamed up with L’Anse Creuse schools in Harrison Township to present not one but TWO events where 50% of the ticket sales went to the L’Anse Creuse Middle School CENTRAL football team!
October 7th 2022, we turned the steering wheel over to “The Demon” Mollock as we presented, Mollok’s Managerie of the Macabre. Things got weird, demented and evil.
November 4th 2022, we saw the debut of the “Man Beast” Rhino as he teamed up with Darion Ultra to do battle with Chris Moore and Jason De Milo.
Charging into 2023
In March 2023 City Championship Wrestling saw the return of the “Man Beast” Rhino and the debut of Alex Shelley!
Then, in April 2023, Alex Shelley vs. Gutter didn’t go as planned when young wrestlers, Jason De Milo and Ryan Matthias interrupted and caused such a fuss, management changed the main event on the fly to Alex Shelley AND Gutter vs. Jason De Milo and Ryan Matthias in a battle of the mature and immature.
May 2023, Ryan Matthias took on Alex Shelley in a two out of three falls match that would would be considered the best match in CCW history until…June 2nd.
The CCW 2nd Year Anniversary Event
June 2nd 2023, was the CCW 2nd Year Anniversary event which saw Alex Shelley vs. Ryan Matthias vs. Freedom Ramsey in what is heralded as one of the best matches in City Championship Wrestling history and one of the best triangle matches in wrestling history.
June 25th 2023, we made our debut in Wyandotte, MI for the 2nd part of our 2nd Year Anniversary event!
On August 4th 2023, City Championship Wrestling held it’s biggest card yet capped off by two incredible main events. “The Next Era” Ryan Matthias vs. “Suplex Shogun” Jackson Stone and “Face of CCW” Freedom Ramsey vs. “Motor City Machine Gun” Chris Sabin!

A New Era of Excellence
October 14th 2023, we returned to L’Anse Creuse High School CENTRAL in Harrison Township, MI for the first ever defense of the CCW Heavyweight Championship!
PLUS we held a fantastic tournament to crown the first-ever CCW Tag Team Champions that unfortunately, the finals were wrapped up in controversy! It was truly a Night to Remember.
Then on October 29th 2023, we returned to Sophia’s Banquet Hall in Wyandotte, MI for Throwdown! We saw returns, debuts, surprises and so much more, including the conclusion tp the controversy that arose during the finals of the City Championship Wrestling Tag Team tournament at A Night to Remember on October 14th.
On November 4th, 2023, we headed back to Harrison Township for LOADED featuring our most star studded card to date including the debut of the Motor City Machine Guns as a team, challenging Free Suplexes (Freedom Ramsey and “Suplex Shogun” Jackson Stone) but alas Alex Shelley was unable to compete due to injury. Fortunately, The Machine Guns had a back up plan and brought in “The Man Beast” Rhino to team with Chris Sabin to challenge for the Tag Team Championship belts. It was not only LOADED because of the stars that wrestled that night but apart from every match on the card having had extremely high stakes and none more exorbitant than the Non-Sanctioned, Anything Goes, Chain Match, Title Belt vs. Career between “The Cat Daddy” Paul Bowser and Heavyweight Champion, Andre Kabashi.
Then on Thursday, November 9th 2023 we presented our Season Finale event entitled Mystery Match Madness. It was heralded as the most interesting events in City Championship Wrestling as all of the Matches would be made with complete spontaneity. The wrestlers would have no time to prepare for their opponent because they didn’t know who they were wrestling until the announcement was made. This event also featured an earth shattering announcement that “Cat Daddy” Paul Bowser would be taking over the company, immediately.
Cat Daddy’s City Championship Wrestling
March 1st 2024, was Keep It Movin’ II! The first card put together and promoted by the Cat Daddy himself and we saw a record breaking crowd of over four hundred-fifty (450) in attendance. A World Record set with the WORLD RECORD SETTING, BIGGEST TAG TEAM GAUNTLET MATCH EVER with 19 Tag Teams vying for a chance to become number one contenders for the Tag Team Championship. The fans finally saw the TAG TEAM debut of the Motor City Machine Guns when Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin challenged Free Suplexes (“Suplex Shogun” Jackson Stone and Freedom Ramsey) in a Match of the Year candidate and so much more great action!
June 1st 2024. The Third (3rd) Year Anniversary event will be a City Championship Wrestling event like no other. The Cat Daddy is hard at work putting together an event for the ages. Including member of the current City Championship Wrestling roster but members of the roster over the last three years and a whole slew of debuts. Stay Tuned.
