World Association of Wrestling (WAW) is a British professional wrestling promotion founded by Ricky Knight, Sweet Saraya, and Jimmy Ocean in 1994 in Norwich, Norfolk. It is a sub-ordinate promotion of Real Quality Wrestling, along with International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom and SAS Wrestling, and it is also affiliated with the all-female promotion Bellatrix Female Warriors. The promotion features British-style wrestling and uses British rules.
Ricky Knight, Sweet Saraya, and Jimmy Ocean formed WAW in 1994 in Norwich. Ocean left the business after approximately one year. In 2005, Ricky Knight and Sweet Saraya formed the World Association of Women's Wrestling, although the name was later changed to Bellatrix Female Warriors.
In 2014, WAW ran more than 100 shows. In September 2016, WAW began airing on Mustard TV. American wrestler Scott Hall is an agent for the promotion and works behind the scenes at television tapings.
The promotion was featured in the 2012 Channel 4 documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family about the Knight family. It will also be featured in the upcoming film Fighting with My Family, which was based on the documentary.
The promotion also includes a wrestling school, The WAW Academy, which trains in the British catch-as-catch-can wrestling style. Trainees perform for both WAW and Bellatrix Female Warriors. The Academy trains wrestlers of all ages, including children. Interest in the school increased after Ricky Knight and Sweet Saraya's daughter Saraya-Jade was signed by the WWE in 2011.Zak Knight and Sweet Saraya are the head trainers at the academy, but they also bring in guest trainers, as well.
