ABOUT WRESTLECORE.

Live Professional Wrestling in Vancouver

WrestleCore is a Vancouver professional wrestling promotion built for people who want more from a night out. Our shows bring larger-than-life characters, hard-hitting matches, outrageous moments and a crowd that becomes part of the experience. We call it Vancouver’s punk rock wrestling party.

You do not need to know every wrestler or every move to have a great time. Come for the spectacle, pick a side when the bell rings and make some noise. If you have followed independent wrestling for years, you will find plenty to get invested in, too.

Wrestling That Feels Alive

A WrestleCore event happens in the ring and throughout the room. The entrances set the mood. The wrestlers give the crowd someone to cheer, challenge or fear. A match can turn on a single decision, and the people watching make sure everyone hears about it.

We bring together wrestling legends, international names, cult favourites and talent from the Pacific Northwest. Each show has its own mix of personalities and styles. Some competitors arrive with reputations that precede them; others make their name in front of a Vancouver crowd. What connects them is a willingness to give the audience a night they will remember.

That energy is why we believe live wrestling is best experienced in person. Video can show you the action, but being there means feeling the room react when a favourite makes an entrance, a rivalry boils over or an unlikely victory suddenly looks possible.

A Vancouver Night Out With Its Own Rules

WrestleCore belongs to Vancouver’s live entertainment scene. Our events have brought wrestling to the Rickshaw Theatre on East Hastings Street, where a show can feel part sporting contest, part performance and part beautifully unpredictable party.

Our goal is to give fans a reason to get together and experience something they could not get from another night on the couch. You can bring a friend who has never watched wrestling. You can bring the person who taught you to love it. By the end of the night, you will both have moments to talk about on the way home.

The show changes, but the invitation stays the same: show up ready to react. Cheer loudly. Boo with conviction. Dress for the occasion when the occasion calls for it. WrestleCore works because the crowd cares.

Shows With Stories Worth Telling

Every WrestleCore event has a distinct identity. Our archive includes Rickshaw wrestling shows, Lucha Libre Spectacular events and nights that turned a familiar venue into something stranger. The posters, matches and footage tell the story of a promotion that enjoys giving each card its own world.

Horror on Hastings takes that idea into Halloween territory. For The Wrestlorcist, the Rickshaw Theatre became a haunted battleground for horror-inspired professional wrestling. The event pairs the drama of the ring with costumes, cinematic entrances and supernatural surprises. Gangrel, ELP, Jody Threat and more starred on the October 30, 2026 show.

That is one example of what we love about wrestling: a match can be intense and a little absurd, sometimes in the same breath. The characters can be frightening, funny, heroic or impossible to pin down. The result is a live experience with room for suspense, spectacle and a crowd that knows when to scream.

New to WrestleCore?

Start with an upcoming show. Check the event page for the date, venue, doors, start time and ticket options before you go. If you want a feel for WrestleCore first, watch matches and moments on our official YouTube channel or explore full events on Independent Wrestling TV.

Our past events page is another way in. Browse the posters, discover previous shows and follow the video links where available. You can also meet some of the wrestlers who have been part of WrestleCore through our roster page.

Once you have seen what we do, come see what changes when you are in the room. No two crowds respond in quite the same way, and no video can tell you exactly what the next live show will feel like.
