The Standard-Bearer of Indy Wrestling
S-USA Premise
============Running since December of 1987, Japanese promotion Sword & Shield Wrestling (S&SW) has been among the most consistent and entertaining companies in the Japanese independent circuit. Many high-profile wrestlers such as Derek Levy, Ryan Evans, Hanz Kikazi, and Okai Jinyi have made their careers by stepping through it’s doors. Japanese natives have also long viewed and enjoyed the spectacular, high-impact style of S&SW, but now, after over twenty years, S&SW will be coming stateside to American fans in the form of it’s newly-announced American branch: Sword & Shield Wrestling USA (S-USA), where the wrestlers of today will become the Champions of tomorrow.
