1PW Wrestling looks to be on its way out, despite heavily promoting their next show next month.Earlier today, Steven Gauntley, owner of 1PW Wrestling filed with the UK government three new filings:
–Termination of appointment of Steven Gauntley as a director.
–Cessation of Steven Gauntley as a person with significant control.
–Cessation of Liam Alan Frank Smedley as a person with significant control.
Gauntly also resigned, as shown on Companies House.
Joe Dombrowski, who has commentated for several major professional wrestling companies such as IMPACT, Ring Of Honor, RevPro and The NWA.
Joe has also previously announced for 1PW Wrestling and took to social media earlier today to send a warning to those on the UK scene and those who had agreed to fly into the UK for the event that the end is nigh for the promotion.
To my British & import friends- If you’re booked on the Oct 28 1PW event: I’d find another show to work. To any fan/sponsor: if you put money into this, get it back however you can ASAP. The rats are fleeing the ship. The band’s playing on deck. The Titanic is sinking.

The company have previously responded to claims that they had not paid up with talent, claiming that they had fully paid up all talent.
Since that statement, Bodyslam.net has been made aware of other significant debts the company has yet to pay up on, including money owed to talent despite the promotions claims otherwise.
This comes along with the news that the companies upcoming Know Your Enemy show is failing miserably in ticket sales.
