Pro Wrestling Integrity

Premier Sports Exhibitions, LLC., doing business as Pure Magisterian Wrestling Association (PMWA) is a Magisterian professional wrestling promotion established on 14 July 1985 when Eugene Edmonton fell out with GCTG founder and owner Greyson Boucher and created his own promotion. From the mid-1990s, PMWA was firmly established as the second-largest promotion in Magisteria before being overthrown by the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF) during the late-1990s. As the 1990s began, aging stars gave way to a younger generation including Yoshimi Mushashibo, Shuji Inukai, Nobuatsu Tatsuko, Yuma Maruya, Gordon Patterson, Clayton Pearlman, Reginald Evans, and Prime Dragon, leading perhaps PMWA's most profitable period in the 1990s.

The critical darling of Magisterian professional wrestling, PMWA has benefited from the quality of their matches, especially the matches that featured Yoshimi Mushashibo, Shuji Inukai, Nobuatsu Tatsuko, Reginald Evans, and Clayton Pearlman, who came to be nicknamed PMWA's 'Fantastic Five', and also Yuma Maruya, Sara Marie York, and Anne Stardust, who came to be nicknamed PMWA's 'Magic Three' for PMWA's women's division. PMWA has been regarded as one of the most prestigious wrestling promotions in the world, and the promotion is home to one of the most critically-acclaimed professional wrestling matches.

PMWA's creative direction revolves around the Golden Rule philosophy of Eugene Edmonton. The philosophy distinguished itself from American professional wrestling by largely eschewing many of its storytelling devices. Angles and gimmicks were virtually non-existent, as all the storytelling in the style occurred through the matches themselves.

Origins, formation, and early days (1984-1986)
The promotion was founded by Eugene Edmonton after leaving Golden Canvas Traditional Grappling (GCTG) in a stormy exit in 1984. On 31 December 1984, Edmonton announced via the Magisterian Sports Observer press that he will form the Pure Magisterian Wrestling Association with 55% of the GCTG roster being on the first ever show scheduled for 14 July 1985. With a sold out crowd at the Magisterian National Martial Arts Stadium, the show was an absolute success with critics praising the event. PMWA was clearly the #2 promotion in the country until the creation of the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF) taking their spot in 1986.

"Golden Rule era" (1987-1999)
The "Golden Rule era" began in 1987 and lasted up until 1999. As PMWA (despite losing the #2 spot from the MWF) went from strength to strength, while GCTG started to fall from grace, something that many blame on former star Leon Williams, who took over the president role. Some of his business decisions were questionable, and allowed PMWA to dominate them. Many GCTG fans believe that if it was not for the emergence of Steve DeColt as a genuine superstar for GCTG, the promotion would not have even have survived the decade. PMWA on the other hand were enjoying massive popularity, with homegrown talents like Yoshimi Mushashibo and Shuji Inukai becoming huge stars, while foreign imports like Genichiro Tenryu and Steve Williams made big impacts on Magisterian fans.

During the peak years of the era, PMWA gave Magisterian wrestling fans the most critically-acclaimed professional wrestling matches in the history of the Magisterian wrestling scene, with Yoshimi Mushashibo, Shuji Inukai, Nobuatsu Tatsuko, Reginald Evans, and Clayton Pearlman being in the critically-acclaimed matches.

The Brief Decline (1999-2000)
The latest twist in the story happened in 1999 where 24 out of 48 contracted wrestlers from PMWA defected to the larger GCTG. This left a huge hole in PMWA's roster, and it seemed that the PMWA was in a decline. Despite leaving it a huge hole in the roster, the decline only lasted a year as PMWA had several awesome young prospects just breaking into the promotion. Many felt that the then-"next generation" of stars are so good that they may be challenging for spots at the top of the card within a year or two. In 2000, Eugene Edmonton stepped down as the president of PMWA and handed the powers to Yoshimi Mushashibo thanks to Edmonton's failing health which led to his death in 2001.

PMWA under Yoshimi Mushashibo (2000-2021)
After Edmonton's resignation from the PMWA, Mushashibo took over as the new president of PMWA in 2000. At the start of Mushashibo's career, he began a transitional period where PMWA starts to promote a modified Golden Rule style where it is more faster, and involves realistic submissions which Edmonton disliked. PMWA's junior heavyweight division was established through the fantastic match between Bob Casey and Jake Sloan where the reaction to the match was enormous, and created a massive demand for Junior wrestling from the fans.

2003 saw the end of, arguably, Magisterian wrestling's greatest rivarly between tag partners Shuji Inukai and Yoshimi Mushashibo, where Shuji Inukai finally beat Mushashibo in their fifth and final high profile Royal Crown singles bout lasting 32 minutes. The match received 5 stars from Simon Stanford, and is still regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestling matches in Magisterian wrestling.

In his final years as an active in-ring competitor, Mushashibo wrestled mostly in tag team matches thanks to his deteriorating physical health which was the result of Mushashibo's history of wrestling in physically-demanding matches during his prime. In 2011, Mushashibo wrestled his final match in a winning effort against his protege, Eli Morton.

Mushashibo would serve as the company president up until 3 October 2021 after he suffered a massive heart attack and was pronounced dead at 11:34 p.m. (UTC-8).

PMWA under Shuji Inukai (2021-present)
After Mushashibo's passing, Mushashibo's former in-ring rival, tag partner and chosen successor Shuji Inukai took over the position as the company president. Inukai announced a corporate restructuring taking place on 1 November, which would see PMWA's corporate name being changed to 'Premier Sports Exhibitions', named after Inukai's Premier Pay TV pay-per-view provider. Inukai also modified the contracts of the workers, from a pay-per-appearance contract into a exclusive contract with stock options for employees, which Mushashibo discontinued a year prior.
