Irish Whip Wrestling

Irish Whip Wrestling was a Indie pro wrestling promotion based in Dublin, Ireland, operating at a National level.

The IRISH WHIP WRESTLING promotion was founded on June 15, 2002 by Simon Rochford, and it ceased operations on June 30, 2022.

Considered the first modern Irish wrestling promotion, Irish Whip Wrestling (IWW) was an indie outfit that dominated the wrestling scene of its namesake island throughout the 2000s. Running about 60 shows a year during this period, IWW was able to sign WWE/WCW/ECW alumni talent of the time, and played a crucial role in the early careers of Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.

As the 2010s came, IWW played a greater emphasis on local Irish talent, and began running about 30 shows a year. Multi-year title reigns were the norm at this time, though as the years went on, IWW grew competitive with the upstart OTT promotion. Struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, IWW unofficially closed in 2022, having been unable to run shows for years up to that point.
