GCW: Global Championship Wrestling

==History== Global Championship Wrestling began in 2002, founded by Matthew Alan. The company ran for a little over a year before Alan met up with Dan Herrera, owner of Independent Division of Wrestling, and the two came up with a deal to merge the companies. GCW temporarily ceased to exist, and lived on under a new name: Global Division of Wrestling. In 2011 GCW was briefly resurrected as a development league for Global Division of Wrestling and then in 2012, when GDW was nearing bankruptcy, Glory Braddock bought out the GCW shares and reopened GCW as its own global entity. In 2016 Dr. Henry Van Stanton bought the GCW stock from Glory Braddock and now he continues to run the company.
