History

2024: A new chapter

See also: PTW Exits

Over the course of 2023 and 2024 multiple wrestlers left Prime Time Wrestling, either quitting voluntarily or being removed by Arkadiusz Pawłowski. Dissatisfied with their former promotion, they decided to start a wrestling project of their own which, unlike PTW, would be open to cooperation with other Polish organisations. In early August of 2024 a number of former PTW wrestlers and staff posted to their social media teasing upcoming wrestling-related news.

On the 14th of August a reveal trailer was posted to a new YouTube channel named Legacy of Wrestling. Set to Studio Buffo's cover of Krystyna Prońko's song "Psalm stojących w kolejce" (The Psalm of Those Standing in Line, a protest song from the early days of Solidarity), the trailer showed a couple of PTW-related fake newspaper clippings and the PTW Intergender Championship (hand-made by Marco Hammers out of cardboard, and only vaguely recognised by PTW), followed by several ex-PTW wrestlers: Hammers, Dziedzic, Wiktor Longman, Disco Pablo and Marcelito, as well as Jakub Linde (formerly Jakob Sigmarsson) who's currently on the PpW Ewenement roster. It then showed the LOW logo and closed with Sinister singing "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles.

On the 5th of September LOW posted on Facebook stating that a live Q&A session would be held on YouTube in a few days, in order to answer people's questions, confirm certain theories and deny others. The document was signed "Pan Prezes" (Mister Chairman), harkening back (albeit unintentionally) to the early days of KPW when a mysterious "Mister Chairman" was often mentioned, but never actually seen.

The live Q&A

On 9.09.2024 LOW held a live Q&A on YouTube hosted by Piotr "ShowOff" Małecki, who anwsered questions asked by fans on Legacy's social media. The stream lasted around 75 minutes, during which ShowOff shared the following information:

The road to the first show

On 25.09.2024 Legacy posted to Facebook revealing the date and location of the fist show: 1.12.2024 in the Królestwo music club in Katowice. In addition, a short trailer was posted to their YouTube channel, shot in the same location and starring the same people as the reveal trailer.

The next day there was another live Q&A, once again hosted by ShowOff.

In October 2024 Legacy started unveiling the wrestlers booked for the first show. On 3.10.2024 they announced Wiktor Longman, Marco Hammers, Dziedzic and Marcelito, all of whom were in the reveal trailer. About a week later another post announced the first wrestler not seen in the trailer, and the first active worker from another promotion: Filip Fux from Kombat Pro Wrestling.
