Independent promotion announces next show will be last ‘for the foreseeable future’
Deadlock Pro Wrestling’s next show may be its last.
The independent promotion announced Saturday on social media that aside from a show in Japan in 2026, their 4th Anniversary event on December 12 in Cary, North Carolina will be their last for “the foreseeable future.”
“It has been an absolute pleasure to produce DPW events these past 4 years,” their statement on social media read. “Thank you to all the fans, wrestlers, & everyone behind-the-scenes that made all this possible. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished & we are excited to celebrate with a great anniversary event in December! Thank you for everything.”
It was additionally announced that the show will become a fundraiser event to help families in the area.
“All tickets to the event will be $1 (plus Eventbrite fees/tax) to allow anyone who has ever wanted to attend a DPW event the ability to do so,” they wrote. “There will be an option to donate on Eventbrite & we will be collecting donations at the event. All the money from the gate & donations from the December 12th event will be donated to a local North Carolina food bank, Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. DEADLOCK itself will match the gate & donations up to $10,000. The Eventbrite page will go up later this week.”
Based out of North Carolina, the promotion opened back in 2021. Talent that have competed in their shows include Colby Corino, Tom Lawlor, Mike Bailey, Jake Something, Emi Sakura, Konosuke Takeshita, the Grizzled Young Veterans, the Motor City Machine Guns, Mustafa Ali, and Roderick Strong.
