Northern Championship Wrestling (Les Promotions nCw Inc.) is a professional wrestling promotion based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It was founded in 1986 by François Poirier and Phil Bélanger in Joliette, Québec. It has since moved to Montreal, running wrestling shows at the Centre Notre-Dame de Rosaire since 1996.
On August 13, 2005, shortly after his departure from World Wrestling Entertainment, nCw hosted Lance Storm for a show called SummerStorm, in order to promote his new Storm Wrestling Academy. Storm was an important part of the Main Event, helping Manuel Vegas retain the nCw Quebec title against Chakal.
Sylvan Grenier (Sylvain Grenier/Sly) wrestled for the promotion from November 2002 until signing with WWE and starting full time at No Way Out 2003 after his working VISA was approved. He first wrestled former nCw Quebec Champion Manuel Vegas, then defeated nCw wrestlers Chakal, Chase Ironside and Nova Cain.
Sylvan returned to nCw at ChallengeMania 15 on May 19, 2007. Still under contract with WWE, he tagged with Don Paysan and Bishop to defeat Chakal, Nightmare and Phil Bélanger in the Main Event. After his release from WWE, Sylvan returned to nCw, wrestling Franky The Mobster to a draw at Montreal Chairshot Massacre in October 2007.
Since 1995, nCw performers such as Chakal, Franky The Mobster, Nova Cain and Don Paysan have been ranked in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated's PWI 500.
