CWFH serves as the flagship promotion of the United Wrestling Network (UWN). Until 2012, the promotion was known as NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood (NWA Hollywood) and was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance.

History

NWA Hollywood was originally produced with Big Vision Entertainment and taped at Columbia Square Studios in Hollywood.[4] After launching on KDOC-TV, the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana[5] became the promotion's home venue.[4] On 12 May 2012, NWA Hollywood ran its first non-TV event in its history, with Scorpio Sky vs. Nick Madrid as it main event.[6]

NWA Hollywood was originally booked by Adam Pearce; he was replaced by Joey Ryan in January 2011.[7] On August 4, 2011, Ryan was relieved of his duties.[8]

On September 9, 2012, David Marquez announced that the promotion had left the NWA.[9]

On August 13, 2013, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood moved to the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, California, with tapings held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. That same day, Matt Striker joined the announce team and The Grappler made his initial on-camera debut as a manager. On October 22, 2013, CWFH and nine other wrestling promotions created a new governing body known as the United Wrestling Network (UWN).[10]

In 2017, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood would briefly re-establish a partnership with the NWA, now under the ownership of William Patrick Corgan (also known as Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins), wherein Nick Aldis feuded with Tim Storm for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.[11][12]

In September 2020, Aron Haddad was made the promotion's booker.[13] On October 3, 2020, Marquez stepped down as executive producer, naming Nick Bonnano as the new EP.[14]
