Deadlock Pro Wrestling was a Indie pro wrestling promotion operating in the United States, based in North Carolina, USA.

The DEADLOCK PRO WRESTLING promotion was founded on November 1, 2021 by Anthony Douglas, James Darnell, & John Blud, and it ceased operations on December 21, 2025.

An extension of the Deadlock podcast created by wrestling video game YouTubers Anthony Douglas (TonyPizzaGuy), James Darnell (CMPuls3), and John Blud (Johnny from NewLegacyInc), Deadlock Pro Wrestling (DPW) emerged in the early 2020s as an indie project. It would begin with the taped series, Fire, before switching to a monthly event and internet PPV format.

Similar to predecessor WhatCulture Pro Wrestling, DPW hosted a slew of notable indie names, and have collaborated with promotions such as Prestige Wrestling and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. As of late 2025, DPW is on hiatus, ending their first run with their 4th Anniversary Show.
