MCW Pro Wrestling#Hall of Fame

Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW) was originally established by wrestlers Dan McDevitt and Mark Shrader as an extension of the wrestling school Bone Breakers Training Center. MCW held its first card at Baltimore's Patapsco Arena on July 19, 1998, featuring Jerry Lynn, Devon Storm, Little Guido, Balls Mahoney, manager Jim Cornette and The Headbangers. During that event, MCW held a six-man match to crown the first ever Light Heavyweight Champion. The winner of the match was Shane Shamrock and due to his shooting death by police the following month, MCW named him as the lifetime Light Heavyweight Champion and replaced it with the Cruiserweight Championship.

Throughout the next year, the promotion featured veteran wrestlers such as Ricky Steamboat, Ricky Morton, Bobby Eaton, Tito Santana, The Iron Sheik, Sherri Martel, The Road Warriors, King Kong Bundy and Jerry "The King" Lawler, the latter two winning the promotion's heavyweight championship. Longtime mainstays such as Joey Matthews, Jimmy Cicero, Judas Young and Mickie James also began gaining popularity in the promotion.{{Cite web|url=http://www.marylandwrestling.com/pdfs/GazetteStoryonShamrockCup.pdf |title=A Different World |access-date=2007-04-05 |author=Howell, Peter |date=2001-08-01 |publisher=Maryland Gazette |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061031052920/http://www.marylandwrestling.com/pdfs/GazetteStoryonShamrockCup.pdf |archive-date=2006-10-31 |url-status=dead }}

On March 27, 2002, Steve Wilkos of The Jerry Springer Show made a one night appearance teaming with Gillberg to defeat The Slackers (Chad Bowman and Dino Devine) in a tag team match in Glen Burnie, Maryland; the 1,267 in attendance setting a new record for its home arena Michael's Eighth Avenue ballroom.{{cite news|title=Steve, Springer's security chief, victorious in pro wrestling debut|publisher=Associated Press State & Local Wire|date=28 March 2002}}

After holding its final card, The Last Dance: Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup, on July 16, 2003, MCW announced its intentions to merge with its longtime rival the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation. McDevitt and Shrader had originally left Mid-Eastern due to a business dispute with half its roster subsequently leaving for the newly established MCW.Snyder, Ron. "Wrestling fans bid adieu to MCW". Maryland Gazette. 19 Jul 2003 Although operations officially ceased in 2003, McDevitt continued holding occasional cards exclusively at Fort Meade{{Cite web|url=http://www.marylandwrestling.com/pdfs/soundoffstory.pdf |title=Pro wrestling slams into Fort Meade |access-date=2007-05-07 |author=Pickett, Anthony |date=2005-10-06 |publisher=Soundoff! |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928100128/http://www.marylandwrestling.com/pdfs/soundoffstory.pdf |archive-date=2007-09-28 |url-status=dead }} under the "Fort Meade Wrestling" banner during the next several years before returning booking regular MCW events again.

MCW made Baltimore headlines in October 2006, with the booking of WIYY morning show personalities Kirk McEwen and Mark Ondayko as part of an eight-man tag match. Participating would have been a breach of their contract with their radio station, however, in the ensuing controversy, the longtime DJs left WIYY for rival WHFS.{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/10/27/DI2006102701177.html|title=Station Break|access-date=2007-05-07|author=Farhi, Paul|date=2006-10-31|newspaper=Washington Post}}

On April 22, 2016, it was announced that the promotion was changing its name from Maryland Championship Wrestling to MCW Pro Wrestling.

The company's YouTube Channel is [https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPHMctj7gnb5zA5iuzUshAA MCW Pro Wrestling]{{Cite web |author= |title=MCW Pro Wrestling |url=https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCPHMctj7gnb5zA5iuzUshAA |access-date=February 9, 2024 |website=YouTube}}

The promotion also has a syndicated television show, Rage TV, which is also broadcast via the internet.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcwragetvonline.com/ |title=MCW Rage TV Online |access-date=2007-05-07|publisher=RageTVonline.com}} Episodes of Rage TV have also been released on DVD.

In December 2000, local television producer Natasha Small filed a complaint to city officials in Bowie, Maryland in which she claimed she and her daughter had been subject to harassment stemming from a verbal confrontation with Rage TV host Jeff Jones during a television taping at the Bowie Community Television station on October 1, 2002. Although a written response by the city manager's office condemned both parties, no criminal or civil charges were filed against Jones or Maryland Championship Wrestling. Small's claims were supported by former studio director Milly Hall who had previously filed a complaint accusing Jones of using the studio to produce tapes for sale over the internet and what she described as "pornographic-like images" appearing on the show's official website. Maryland Championship Wrestling denied these charges however and, while city officials admitted the possibility of the promotion using the show to "assist a commercial venture", the city notified producers of new policy updates to guard against such assistance.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2002/200249/bowie/news/133990-1.html |title=Producer says host rails against women |access-date=2007-05-07 |author=Morris, Ayesha|date=2002-12-02|publisher=Maryland Gazette}}

In April 2011, Rage TV taped shows at Duane "Gillberg" Gill's Professional Wrestling Academy in Severn, Maryland. The show was hosted by country music singer Mark Bray and Gill.{{cite web |url=https://www.wrestlingfigs.com/inner2.php?id=18571&page_id=1 |title=NOTES & NEWS FOR WEDNESDAY 4/13/11 |author=Mulrenin, Bob |date=April 13, 2011 |website=WrestlingFigs.com }}

The Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup is an annual tournament held since 1999. The format of the tournament sees twelve wrestlers competing in six one-on-one matches, with the six winners advancing to an elimination match finale. The tournament is named in honor of Shane Shamrock, the inaugural MCW Light Heavyweight Champion who was shot and killed during an altercation with police officers in 1998.{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/233858-remembering-the-irish-ironman-shane-shamrock |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305011421/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/233858-remembering-the-irish-ironman-shane-shamrock |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |title=Remembering the Irish Ironman: Shane Shamrock |work=Bleacher Report |last=Williams |first=Kevin |date=August 10, 2009 |access-date=March 4, 2023}}

When MCW closed its doors in 2003, an arrangement was made with Ring of Honor (ROH) that when ROH made its debut in the Baltimore area, it would carry on the tradition of the Shane Shamrock Cup. At ROH's The Last Stand, it was announced ROH would continue the Shane Shamrock Cup on June 24, 2004. In March, however, Rob Feinstein was forced to step down as owner of ROH. Less than a week before the tournament, Feinstein sold his share of ROH to Cary Silkin, causing Maryland promoter Dick Caricofe to pull out of the show. ROH was forced to move the show to Philadelphia and renamed the show Survival of the Fittest.

When MCW reopened in February 2006, it was announced that they were bringing back the Shane Shamrock Cup.

MCW held its 6th Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup on July 6, 2006.

The Bruiser Strong Rumble is an annual match held since 2019. The match is named in honor of RJ "The Bruiser" Meyer, who died from leukemia in 2020. The format started out similar to the Royal Rumble, with the exception that each entrant could be a singles star, a tag team, or a faction, with eliminations occurring when a competitor is tossed over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. However, in 2022 the format was adjusted to feature 11 stars (one for each heavyweight title reign of The Bruiser), with eliminations occurring as before, however once the 11th entrant (reserved for the heavyweight champion at the time) enters the match, eliminations would then only occur by pinfalls or submissions. In 2019, the prize for winning was a chance to challenge for the MCW Heavyweight Championship at the Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup that year, where since then the prize was the MCW Heavyweight Championship; the title was vacant for the 2021 match, with the defending champion entering the match as the final entrant in the years that followed.
