Riot City Wrestling is an Australian independent professional wrestling promotion founded in January 2006 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

History

In 2010, Riot City Wrestling appeared at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, hosting the STRENGTH Cup tournament, and was voted one of the festival's top five attractions by the Adelaide Advertiser. They returned to the festival in 2011, hosting the tournament again. For the 2014 festival, the company promoted a lucha libre-themed show.

On July 1, 2012, the Goodwood Saints Football Club of the South Australian Amateur Football League hosted RCW for a special fundraiser. RCW wrestlers Chris and Matt Basso played for the club in their C Grade team. As of August 2014, Global Force Wrestling announced working agreements with Riot City Wrestling. That month, during a WWE tour of Australia, several RCW wrestlers were also invited to participate in a WWE training camp.

Wrestling reviewer Rod Lewis has noted the promotion for its "high octane acrobatics to the comical theatrics and surprising plot twists". RCW has built an alliance with Melbourne City Wrestling, which has featured a rivalry between wrestlers from the two promotions.

RCW runs a training academy, which is located in Wingfield. Wrestlers who have competed for RCW include WWE NXT tag team champion Murphy, and Voodoo, who competes for Grand Pro Wrestling.
