GCW Bloodsport


GCW Bloodsport is a professional wrestling event held by the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling. This event consists of a unique ruleset compared to a traditional pro wrestling event, in that every match must end in either a knockout or submission. The traditional wrestling ring is replaced by a ring canvas with no ropes or turnbuckles.
This event features worked matches presented in a "shoot" mixed martial arts style that mimics the early days of MMA and catch wrestling. It is common for Bloodsport competitors to have some knowledge in other combat sports and/or MMA, as well as professional wrestling, as these one on one matches often appear stiff and have a feel of semi-shoot style fights.
