Over the Top Wrestling, commonly abbreviated to OTT, is an Irish professional wrestling promotion based in Dublin, Ireland, that was founded in 2014.[1] The promotion mixes elements of traditional pro wrestling, comedy and sports entertainment.[2] Over the Top Wrestling showcases Irish wrestlers and also brings in wrestling talent from overseas.[3][4] Shows typically took place in Dublin's Tivoli Theatre until its demise in 2019.[5] Events now take place primarily in Dublin and in Belfast at the Europa Hotel. OTT also runs shows from Limerick, Derry, Wexford and Enniskillen. Special 'Supershows' occur at the National Stadium periodically. 'Contenders' billed shows featuring up and coming local talent are run from the National Stadium's Ringside Club. In 2022, Over The Top Wrestling expanded into Wolverhampton, England.[6]

History

[edit]

Founded in 2014 as an alternative to the family friendly offerings on the Irish wrestling scene at the time, OTT was aimed at an over 18s audience with the intention of giving adult wrestling fans something "grittier", with a shift away from a PG product. Initially the show focused mainly on Irish talent, with gimmicks relating to Irish culture such as the Irish Traveller influenced Luther Ward and the Ward Family, Session Moth Martina, the working class-styled Lads from the Flats and the elitist "Lord of The Manor" Paul Tracey.[7] The show was initially composed of wrestlers trained by Main Stage Wrestling and Fight Factory training schools. As the promotion evolved, it attracted wrestlers from abroad, including Mick Foley, Jon Moxley, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks and Will Ospreay.[8]

Post-pandemic era

[edit]

After 17 months without a show due to the COVID-19 pandemic, OTT returned in Belfast on 18 July 2021 with "Welcome Back to the Second Half".[9] The show featured predominantly Irish mainstays from the pre-pandemic OTT era as well as a number of imports based in the UK such as Omari, Emersyn Jayne, Jamie Hayter and Mark Haskins. This show saw the unification of the GN Title held by Adam Maxted and the vacated OTT World Title in a match won by Mark Haskins to become double champion. A Tag tournament eliminator was also held due to Moustache Mountain vacating their titles . The tournament finals saw The Kings of The North (Bonesaw & Damien Corvin) beat The Lads From the Flats (Paddy M & Session Moth Martina) win to the belts for the fourth time.

The following shows saw the promotion of a number of the contenders roster including Justin Daniels, and Danny Cross (simply known as “Jay”) who won the OTT Tag Team Titles with B.Cool on his main roster. Liamo also became a regular on the shows as a manager for Paddy M and Martina, and later made his in-ring debut on Contenders 18, the first such show in the post-pandemic era. This card also introduced Fabio to OTT. Sammy D defeated Scotty Davis for the OTT No Limits Title at the 2021 Wexford Spiegeltent Festival live event, becoming the first unrecorded title change in company history.

2022 began with a double header of Saturday and Sunday shows "OTT Live at the Ringside". This weekend saw Terry Thatcher turn heel after being unable to beat Session Moth Martina for the GN Championship. He also headed up his own stable called The DeThatchment. Mark Haskins was unable to make The Road to Scrappermania show in Dublin due to travel issues, as a result an impromptu main event was made for the OTT Tag Team Championships which saw Aussie Open overcome B.Cool and Jay to win the titles for the first time. This show also set up a number of matches for the Scrappermania 6 stadium show.

The following months saw a soft relaunch of OTT in Dublin as they took up residence in The Complex, a venue in Dublin's city centre for their first show in the capital city since the Tivoli days. At this event dubbed "Poetry Slam", a returning Omari overcame Mark Haskins to become the OTT World Champion.[10] The following months saw the retirement of B Cool in a career v title match against Sammy D, The formation of "The Draw" (Sammy D, Charlie Sterling and Adam Maxted) and a heel turn by babyface Jay to join the Draw. 2022 ended with the Draw holding the Tag Team Titles, NLW & GN Championships.

Expansion

[edit]

Over The Top Wrestling expanded into Wolverhampton, England after the relaunch, booking shows in The Hangar. On St. Patrick's Day Weekend 2023, three titles changed hands on three consecutive nights in three different cities. Wolverhampton saw its first championship switch when local wrestler Trent Seven captured the OTT No Limits Title. The next night in Dublin, Sammy D won the OTT World Championship in the main event of ScrapperMania VII. Then on Sunday, in Belfast, The Kings of the North began their record fifth reign as OTT Tag Team Champions. Towards the end of 2023, OTT held an event in Milan, Italy, marking the first show outside of Ireland and the UK.[11] The group instituted a new show concept in 2024 with a match called Rumble Loco, based on WWE's Royal Rumble, whereby the winner of a battle royal would go on to challenge for the OTT World Championship at the company's flagship show ScrapperMania. For the Tenth Anniversary Show in October 2024, Over The Top Wrestling booked reigning WWE World Tag Team Champions Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, which included a WWE produced vignette from the entire Judgement Day faction.
