LDN Wrestling is a British Professional wrestling promotion run by Sanjay Bagga. It was founded in November 2004 and is based in London. Bagga's promotion tours theatres, leisure centres and town halls all over Great Britain.

History

LDN Wrestling was founded in November 2004 by lifelong wrestling fan Sanjay Bagga.[1] The aim of the company was to build a brand that could tour the country under the LDN name. Bagga's stated mission for the promotion is to "put the 'British' back in 'British wrestling.'"[2]

LDN toured mostly London based venues until March 2007 when it signed a television deal with The Wrestling Channel. Its two-year span on the channel remains the longest running British wrestling television show to have been launched after the end of regular British wrestling on ITV in 1988.

Key moments in LDN Capital TV's show have included a contest in which ten time former World Lightweight champion Johnny Saint, also known as "the man of 1,000 holds" and a former 10-time lightweight champion of the world, came out of retirement and defeated fellow British wrestling veteran, Johnny Kidd and a feud pitting legendary masked star Kendo Nagasaki against then-champion Yorghos. LDN also established its own stars such as "Notorious" Jon Ritchie, who dominated the promotion for over two years, as well as Alan Lee Travis and the "Peckham Playboy" Hakan, both of whom have held titles with LDN.

In 2013, WOS Wrestling LTD approached LDN Wrestling to help produce the World of Sport TV taping at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. The event took place in November that year in front of the biggest audience for a wrestling show at the venue for ten years, with former WWE wrestler Matt Striker in the main event against Kidd.

LDN is currently touring Great Britain [3] with 160 dates scheduled for 2015.
