Attack Pro Wrestling (stylized as ATTACK! Pro Wrestling) is a British professional wrestling promotion that was established in 2011 by wrestler Pete Dunne and ring announcer Jim Lee. Since 2012, its events have been run by a regularly-changing collective of British wrestlers, currently including Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews and Chris Brookes. It was nominated for the award of "UK/Ireland Promotion of the Year" at the Fighting Spirit Magazine Readers Awards 2016.
The promotion is known for combining high-quality independent wrestling with "some of the most creative shows the British Wrestling scene has ever seen"; including innovative themed shows (such as the video game themed show 'Press Start'), unique characters (such as an amorous French mouse named 'Love Making Demon'), and bizarre twists (such as referees and soft toys winning Championship belts).
ATTACK! Pro Wrestling was founded in 2011 by Pete Dunne and Jim Lee. Having originally met at a wrestling training school in Coventry in 2006, the duo founded ATTACK! as a means to create more exposure for their group of friends on the British independent wrestling scene, at a time when Pete and his contemporaries (such as Mark Andrews and Eddie Dennis) were first starting to gain work around the United Kingdom. Using primarily upcoming British junior heavyweight wrestlers, their concept was to showcase internationally-influenced "fast-paced, hard-hitting" independent wrestling, with a unique creative approach.
The first events were held in August 2011, in community centre venues in Pete's hometown of Birmingham. The debut weekend was originally planned to consist of three shows, but was reduced to two shows at short notice, after one of the venues was damaged in the 2011 England Riots. The events featured a roster of wrestlers entirely from Pete and Jim's immediate circle of friends, and was headlined by the first "Elder Stein Invitational Tournament", which was won by Mark Andrews (overcoming Pete in the final). ATTACK returned for three further events in Birmingham in November 2011, which included Zack Sabre Jr's first appearances for the promotion.
