NWA UK Hammerlock was a British professional wrestling promotion based in Kent.

History[edit]

UK Hammerlock was established in 1993 by Andre "Sledgehammer" Baker. For many years the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) had shunned Europe because it recognized a rival World Heavyweight Championship based in the UK (recognized by All Star Promotions), but in the late 1990s, UK Hammerlock became a member of the NWA, opening Europe to its influence.

NWA-UK Hammerlock generally ran shows around the Kent area, but have also put shows on around the Essex area, Wales, and Cumbria.

The promotion also branched out after the turn of the century, setting up a sister operation, known as NWA Ireland as well as gain a working relationship with the Scottish Wrestling Alliance.

The promotion stopped running events in 2007 and officially folded in 2009. In 2010, Hammerlock Wrestling founder Andre Baker committed suicide, aged 45.

In June 2011 NWA UK Hammerlock officially reopened its doors with a memorial show to its late founder Andre Baker, run by Hammerlock graduates Tony McMillan and Dean Champion. They ran primarily in Essex and in Tonbridge, Kent. In 2012 Hammerlock Wrestling left the NWA and the promotion ceased operations in the same year.

Training school[edit]

The Hammerlock wrestling school has locations in Kent, Coventry, Scotland and Dublin. It has trained many wrestlers including Gary Steele, Doug Williams, Fergal Devitt, Rebecca Knox, Katie Lea, and Zack Sabre Jr.
