It has begun! CCW has been secretly training the first group of men to become Jamaica's first professional wrestlers since July 1st. According to sources in the company, eleven boxers and bodybuilders were invited to train at two secret facilities, one in Portmore and the other in Montego Bay. In additional to these specially selected amateur athletes, four young men were discovered while finishing prison sentences!
Correction officers recommended recently paroled inmates, and these guys have done surprisingly well. Said one CCW source, "They aren't typical. They used prison to create the self-discipline necessary to train hard and get in the best shape of their lives. They are kicking asses".

CCW Titles Promise to Deliver
The Titles. The Belts.
They are the reason pro wrestlers put their bodies on the line, match after
match. It is a simple acknowledgement - one man is, without question, the
absolute best in a sport of giants. The heavy, ornate symbol worn around
an athlete's waist demands the respect of fans, recognition among peers,
and grudging approval of wrestling federations all over the world. But
in CCW, the Titles, the Belts, mean something else too. The Money.
It is rumoured an astounding 30% of CCW live gate receipts may be distributed among the holders of the federation's belts. Its nice to be recognized, but The Money is why CCW athletes will do what they do.
The CCW Power Ranking system determines who is worthy to compete for the federation's four titles. The system consists of seventeen weighted variables and the opinion of the fans. The top eight ranked wrestlers compete for the CCW Caribbean Championship, while the next eight ranked vie for the CCW Television Title. In Power Ranking, a single non-title bout could drop a man from a Caribbean Championship title shot. Conversely, four or five wins over highly ranked opponents could get a relative newcomer into dream match very quickly.
While most CCW matches have a 20 minute time limit, all title bouts are automatically extended an additional 10 minutes. Title matches ending in a draw, whether by count out, disqualification, interference, time expiration, etc., the Champion retains the Belt and the Title. The cornerstone
of Augustus Lee's new venture is the CCW Caribbean Championship title.
Like scores
of federations boasting "heavyweight" or "world" titles, CCW proudly proclaims its CC title is "the big dog in the yard".
According to the Rules Committee, Caribbean Championship title bouts
can only be defended in Jamaica and the Caribbean Basin, and no less
than once every thirty days. This means that like it or not, a current
champion must face a challenger for his title at least once a month.
A side note; due to contractual obligations, the Rules Committee has
mandated less than 40% of CCW Caribbean Championship title bouts can
be televised. More often, television programs and this web site will
report CC title match results only, and fans not lucky enough to be in
attendance will have to wait for the video release to see all the action. This
