About GWF Major League Wrestling

GWF Major League Wrestling ended in 1994 on ESPN. The promotion was based in Dallas, Texas, and was active from June 1991 until its closure in September 1994. During its run, it was notable for being the last professional wrestling promotion to be broadcast regularly on ESPN, often airing matches five days a week at 4 p.m. Eastern. Over time, ESPN shifted its programming focus away from wrestling, favoring talk shows and other content in the mid-afternoon hours. In 2013, ESPN Classic began showing re-runs of GWF Major League Wrestling, preserving its legacy in wrestling history.

GWF Major League Wrestling was a professional wrestling promotion that showcased a variety of wrestlers competing in scripted matches and storylines. The promotion aimed to entertain audiences with its weekly wrestling shows, featuring a roster of notable wrestlers from the early 1990s. Although it was short-lived, the promotion contributed to the wrestling landscape during its era, providing regular programming on a major sports network and helping to popularize the sport during its time.

The cast included well-known wrestlers such as Chris Adams as "Gentleman" Chris Adams, Marcus Bagwell as The Handsome Stranger, Nick Busick as Big Bully Busick, Mick Foley as Cactus Jack, Barry Horowitz as 'The Winner' Barry Horowitz, Booker T, Lash Huffman as Stevie Ray, and John Layfield as John Hawk.
