Training first
A regular, safe training system with a real ring and qualified professional coaches.
Istanbul · Independent pro wrestling project
Building professional wrestling in Istanbul from the ground up.
Pro Wrestling Bosphorus is working to build a sustainable pro wrestling scene in Türkiye through safe training, local talent, strong storytelling and live shows.
Infrastructure first. Then the show.
Roster
Who steps into the ring?
The first PWB roster will be revealed soon. There is only one way onto it: show up to training, deliver your work and earn your place again every week.
One of these cards could be yours.
Join as a performerWhat is PWB?
Not a one-night event. A lasting scene.
We are not here to fly in names for a single show. We want to bring locally trained wrestlers, crew and audience together in a system that grows for years.
Local talent
Wrestlers, referees and announcers from Türkiye, and over time, our own local trainers.
Story-driven product
Character- and story-led sports entertainment. Every match grows out of a story; every episode makes you want the next one.
Sharing the journey
From searching for a venue and a ring to the first training day, we document the whole process.
Roadmap
Each stage opens on the proof of the one before.
We will not announce a show date before the infrastructure is ready. We are open about where we stand.

Our safety principle
No risky technique without a qualified professional coach and a real ring.
- Bumps, suplexes and high-risk moves are only trained in a real ring under a qualified coach.
- Before the ring, we work on conditioning, mobility, communication, promos and character.
- We do not copy techniques seen on TV.
- Nobody steps into a match before they are ready.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I train in professional wrestling in Türkiye?
That is exactly why PWB exists: a regular training system in Istanbul with a real ring and qualified professional coaches. When the first sessions open, people on the waitlist hear first.
Do I need previous experience?
No. What we look for is discipline, consistent attendance and a willingness to learn. A background in combat sports, gymnastics or performance helps, but it isn't required.
How old do I need to be?
Training is open to people aged 18 and over.
Can women join?
Absolutely. Everyone trains to the same coaching and safety standards.
Is training paid?
The training model and pricing will be announced to the waitlist first, as soon as they are finalised.
Where will training take place?
In Istanbul. The venue and schedule will be announced once confirmed.
When is the first show?
When our athletes are ready. Ring, coaching and regular training come first, then the first show. The date will be announced once the infrastructure is in place.
Is pro wrestling dangerous?
Like any physical sport, the risk is never zero. That is why risky techniques are only trained in a real ring under a qualified coach, and nobody steps into a match before they are ready.
I don't want to wrestle. How else can I get involved?
Refereeing, ring announcing, camera, production, content and event operations. Just pick your area of interest on the waitlist.
