The FWA works alongside The Grapple Group, which is Europe’s first ever wrestling agency. The agency has contracted over 20 of the country’s top performers and will work to get them the very best wrestling and multimedia bookings both here and overseas (see Principle 2). Concurrently the agency will also be paying for their accident insurance policy, something no promotion or agency has ever done to our knowledge, which financially protects those who work for us should they get injured. The agency also gives non contracted wrestlers the chance to be on the agency books and offers professional photo shoots, TV quality match footage, websites, mentoring, accident insurance, assistance in raising their profile and is generally there to help increase a UK wrestlers income and exposure. The back bone of this will be the “FWA Unsigned” events that will take place on the afternoon of the monthly FWA TV tapings. This will give wrestlers who are not contracted the chance to be seen by a new audience whilst providing them with the relevant raw materials (such as TV quality footage and professional photos) to advance their career. These events will then be sent (via email link) to every promoter in Britain who can assess the latest new talent on the scene, which in turn will aid these performers in receiving more work and even greater exposure. The Grapple Group charges a small fee for things such as photo shoots and graphic design work to all non contracted performers, however the FWA will locate and sponsor several promising young new wrestlers every year by covering the cost of their training and agency fees.

We are also working alongside SAS in London and FSW in Manchester, who will be the official Northern and Southern feeder groups for both the FWA TV and “Unsigned” projects. These promotions will work as training grounds which offer its wrestlers guidance and assistance to improve and will have our mentors making regular trips to their events to offer advice and keep up to date with people’s progress. This system is designed to help those who want to improve rather than just put them on shows for years, left to their own devices with no real input on how to better their overall performance as so many young wrestlers in this country currently are.

FWA representatives will also go to shows around the UK in the hopes of finding new talent to put forward to these feeder groups. On top of this our mentors will also be going to training schools across the country to offer sponsorship to those students who we believe have great potential yet require financial assistance.
