Welcome to RENO, NEVADA.
Initially founded in January of 2018 as a Limited Liability Corporation under the name of UD STREAMING, the company did precious little other than securing access and distribution rights to the digital libraries of several defunct wrestling companies, including the World Class Wrestling Federation based out of Plano, Texas and its subsidiaries. Steadily over the course of the next two years, the fledgling company secured digital access rights to several other closed independent promotions, selling the content to various streaming services and using that capital to reinvest in its growth.
In the latter part of 2020, the company underwent a name change, rebranding to UPRISING, LLC and securing permanent residence within the historic ELDORADO CASINO in Reno to put on and subsequently stream LIVE INDEPENDENT WRESTLING events from the SILVER STATE BALLROOM.
UPRISING is an upstart independent wrestling promotion based solely in Reno with no plans at present to travel outside the city or state. Live shows will take place approximately every two weeks and will be recorded and streamed online for free. Approximately every four - six events will culminate in a SuperShow that will be shown exclusively on the FITE TV streaming network for a nominal fee rather than distributed for free online.
REVOLUTION is the name of UPRISING's biweekly streamed show and the SuperShow events will have their own themes and names as the time comes.
The owner at time of launch was unknown but former professional wrestling legend BRAD JACKSON was acting in the role of UPRISING's General Manager. With Jackson's wealth of experience both inside the ring and in managing several successful companies since his retirement in 2017, UPRISING has a firm foundation on which to mount their ascent to the top of the wrestling world. In early 2021, former wrestler LARRY GOWAN was brought on to spearhead the creation of a tag team division. When Jackson was forced to step down as manager for personal reasons, Gowan became the new General Manager and announced in 2022 that the company would be going global, effectively branding the UPRISING CHAMPIONSHIP as a WORLD championship.
THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED.
