Two Night Event – Thursday, August 31 and Friday, September 1st
Paradigm Pro Wrestling does the most with its premiere event of the year – the 5th Annual Heavy Hitters Tournament!
20 warriors face-off in matches that have No DQs and No Count-Outs, with the winners advancing to a Championship Gauntlet on Night 2 of Heavy Hitters 5. First Round matches will be in a “Beat The Clock” format – with the speed of victory determining entrance order in the Championship Gauntlet.
Night 2 features the 10 Warrior Championship Gauntlet Finals of the tournament, plus several championship bouts, the Paradigm debut of Japanese deathmatch legend Shadow WX, and other exciting action featuring the best unsigned talent in the United States.
Featured stars include former UFC Fighter Tom Lawlor, MLW Champion Alex Kane, former MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed, 44OH’s The Bev, former GCW Tag Team Champion Matthew Justice, SLA Champion Derek Neal, Juggalo Champion Joshua Bishop, 2x Heavy Hitters Champion Jordan Blade, and many more stars.

Stream Our Shows
We filmed the shows. We edited the shows. Then FITE stopped paying us (and many other people).
About a third of our catalog is still on the service now called TrillerTV+. If you already subscribe, feel free to watch it there.
You’ll find tournaments, episodic series, and a substantial number of nights when we clearly should have booked fewer matches. We just cannot tell you that subscribing is a way to support Paradigm directly.
Our Library of Events
Our back catalog is NOT lost media. It’s just currently scattered across the internet. We’ve begun to put full shows on YouTube, and you can still check out a lot of our shows on TrillerTV+. Want to watch something that’s not on either yet? Just let us know…
UWFi Rules Contenders Series
The Fighting Spirit Heavyweight Grand Prix introduced UWFi Rules to Paradigm. The Contenders Series gave us the room to find out how much we could do with them.
Across five seasons, wrestlers with backgrounds in professional wrestling, MMA, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu fought under a system built around knockouts, submissions, and points. Familiar names had to adapt. New contenders could make their case one fight at a time.
We filmed the series through long nights and marathon tapings, including the period when the pandemic had made conventional wrestling shows difficult or impossible. It became our flagship episodic show and helped introduce Paradigm to an audience well beyond the Jeffersonville Arena.
PPW No Hook
While the UWFi Rules Contenders Series explored what happened when we imposed a strict rule set, No Hook explored what happened when we gave people room to get weird.
The series ran alongside Contenders for two seasons. It mixed young independent talent, character-driven stories, hip-hop, and mysteries that could only have come out of Paradigm. Billie Starkz, Myron Reed, Sandra Moone, The Hoodfoot, and others helped make it feel unlike anything else we produced.
No Hook gave wrestlers space to show parts of themselves that a tournament bracket could not capture. It remains one of the best examples of our willingness to follow an idea just because it felt right for us.
PPW MAGNUM OPUS
After the Contenders Series and No Hook, Magnum Opus brought Paradigm’s different styles together in one weekly show.
UWFi Rules fights, hardcore matches, traditional wrestling, and long-running rivalries could all share the same episode. Wrestlers who had been with us for years appeared alongside people finding their place on the roster. Stories could carry from one week to the next, and we could finally show how all these apparently incompatible pieces belonged to the same promotion.
It was ambitious, demanding, and occasionally too much work for the resources we had. That made it a fairly honest portrait of Paradigm.
