Stockport Wrestling Association

Stockport Wrestling Association, also known as SWA, is a British professional wrestling company founded by Makarov Dreyar of Fairy Tail in April 2008, under the name of Magnolia Wrestling Association. Dreyar would later sell the company to an Englishman known as the Duke Of Stockport in July 2009, after which the promotion took on its present name. Following the takeover, Dreyar remained Chairman as Duke took on a more active General Manager role. Duke's girlfriend Mirajane Strauss is the Assistant General Manager, typically taking control of the Women's Division and assisting the SWA Owner.

History
Stockport Wrestling Association's first owner Makarov Dreyar formed the company as a legal way for his fight-loving Fairy Tail guild to compete. Dreyar would sell the company to the British Duke Of Stockport, who turned the company into one for both Anime and Western characters. SWA is the biggest professional wrestling promotion in Great Britain, surpassing the likes of Revolution Pro Wrestling and One Pro Wrestling. SWA promotes events all across the United Kingdom, occasionally travelling to Fiore, Japan and France. The biggest show of the year, SWA Collision, is held at Wembley Stadium at the end of September.

Not only does SWA provide Anime characters opportunities to wrestle outside Japan, its presentation style also parodies that of Anime. Typically, SWA takes a month's break after every six months of wrestling, making SWA akin to several seasons of a 24-episode Anime. If this break falls on September, the break will occur in October instead.

The promotion currently has four championships: World Heavyweight, Cross Atlantic, Connect and Women's.
