SWWrestlingUK (swwrestling.co.uk)
Last updated: 28 Feb 2026

SWWrestlingUK is an independent digital publication covering professional wrestling in the South West of England. Our aim is to provide accurate reporting, structured records, and responsible journalism relating to promotions, wrestlers, venues and events across the region.

This policy outlines our editorial standards and approach.

1. Editorial Independence

SWWrestlingUK operates independently of any promotion, wrestling school, venue, or performer.

  • We do not operate as an official outlet for any promotion.

  • Editorial decisions are made independently.

  • Coverage is not guaranteed in exchange for access, accreditation, or cooperation.

We may collaborate with promotions for factual verification or media access, but this does not influence editorial control.

2. Accuracy & Verification

We aim to:

  • Verify factual information before publication wherever possible.

  • Clearly attribute sources where appropriate.

  • Distinguish between confirmed announcements and developing information.

  • Update articles when new verified details emerge.

Where errors occur, they will be corrected in accordance with our Corrections Policy.

3. News vs Opinion

We clearly distinguish between:

  • News reporting (factual, neutral, sourced)

  • Results reporting (event documentation)

  • Features and interviews

  • Opinion content (if published)

Opinion pieces, if used, will be clearly labelled and separated from news reporting.

4. Use of Sources

Information may be sourced from:

  • Official promotion announcements

  • Verified social media posts from promotions or wrestlers

  • Direct communication with event organisers

  • Live event attendance

  • Publicly available event listings

  • Interviews conducted by SWWrestlingUK

We avoid publishing unverified rumours or speculation.

5. Fairness & Representation

We aim to:

  • Provide balanced regional coverage across the South West

  • Avoid preferential treatment of any one promotion

  • Represent emerging and established talent fairly

  • Avoid inflammatory or sensationalist language

We do not engage in online disputes, personal attacks, or gossip-driven reporting.

6. Results & Record Keeping

SWWrestlingUK maintains structured records of:

  • Event results

  • Championship histories

  • Promotion data

  • Wrestler profiles

  • Venue information

While we strive for accuracy, independent wrestling records can occasionally be incomplete. We welcome factual corrections supported by credible evidence.

7. Respect & Conduct

We are committed to professional conduct in our reporting.

We do not:

  • Publish private personal information

  • Share unverified allegations

  • Amplify harassment or abuse

  • Promote discriminatory or harmful content

We reserve the right not to publish submissions that do not meet editorial standards.

8. Sponsored & Promotional Content

If sponsored or promotional content is ever published:

  • It will be clearly labelled.

  • It will not be presented as independent news.

  • Advertising relationships will not influence editorial reporting.

9. Community Engagement

We welcome:

  • Event submissions

  • Corrections

  • Feedback

  • Interview requests

All submissions are subject to editorial review.
