-- (Major) Wrestling Leagues

(MAJOR) WRESTLING LEAGUES A - I

Color scheme:

The @ categorizes the wrestler under a letter.
If you see @, then there's info about the wrestler available on a separate page.
Please click on the name to follow the link...
- (example) The @Lightning Kid
- You need to go to the "L"-section of MALE WRESTLERS *K-O*
section under a letter
wrestler's name (male)
wrestler's name (female)
wrestler's real name
wrestler's hometown
wrestler's tag team:
- Clicking on a team will take you to the Tag Team Section
wrestler's manager
- (example) m:h - Gary @Hart
- First you will be linked to the NWP *A-I* page.
- Please look under the "H"-section for Gary Hart. He is a manager (m:).
president/referee/commissioner/others

- (example)vb:a - Johnny @Ace

- Please look under the "A"-section for Johnny Ace. He is a flagbearer (valet/bodyguard) (vb:).
wrestler's alias
wrestling title name
wrestling league name
[M] = Masked Wrestler
NOTA BENE: Both "Mc" as in "McMahon" and "Mac" as in "MacIntosh" are regarded as if they are spelled "Mac" and categorized under "ma-"
NOTA BENE: On this page I made a (rather arbitrarily) distinction between what I call 'major leagues' and 'promotions'. I know that it is a superficial one.
Properly founded arguments for changes in individual cases will be highly appreciated and, when verified, added...
