Dragon Fire Corporation, LLC. d/b/a Dragon Fire Pro-Wrestling (DFW) is a Magisterian professional wrestling promotion based in Vallejo, Salisbury. Founded on November 17, 1974 by Grayson Boucher. Horace Winston has served as the promotion's Chairman since November 2004 while Jepson Lyndon has served as the President of the promotion since October 2014.

DFW is the largest professional wrestling promotion in Magisteria with it's success showcasing a Japanese-style product. It was affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance at various points in its history. DFW has had agreements with various MMA and professional wrestling promotions around the world, including WWE, All Elite Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and Pride Fighting Championships. The promotion is currently owned by Boucher, Inc., a Magisterian entertainment company.

Formation and early history (1974-2004)
The promotion was founded by Grayson Boucher on November 17, 1974 after his departure from New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The first ever DFW event, titled The Beginning of the Fire on March 1, 1975 to a crowd of 5,000 in the Vallejo Arena of Dreams.

DFW was the first professional wrestling promotion to hold it's show at the Goodwin Super-stadium in Jade, Beringer State with a crowd of 255,000, the largest in the promotion's history.

Decline and Boucher's death (2000-2006)
In the early 2000s, the burgeoning popularity of mixed martial arts (MMA) in Magisteria was noticed by Boucher, who wanted to integrate elements of shoot wrestling to make the company appear more realistic. The company would partner with martial arts organization ALPHA-1 and begin to insert wrestlers into MMA fights, with the goal of pushing DFW in a more realistic direction and to make it appear as an actual sport. DFW declined, so did Boucher's health as he died from a heart attack on December 25, 2004.

Resurgence and worldwide expansion (2006-present)
In 2006, DFW hosted its first ever pay-per-view (PPV) event, WrestleRave I on December 16, 2006.

The promotion debuted it's own version of NJPW's NEVER, OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts), designed to be a series of events spotlighting younger up-and-coming Dragon Fire talent and feature more outsider participation in the promotion.

Contracts
Up until the 1980s, DFW signed its workers to multi-year contracts, before changing to a system where the promotion signed its wrestlers to one-year deals that expired at the end of every January. Following the departures of A.J. Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura, DFW chairman Horace Winston announced in December 2015 that the promotion was returning to the multi-year contract system. The contracts forbid negotiations with other promotions. Any side contracts or agreements offered to wrestlers under DFW contracts, need the promotion's approval before being signed. DFW currently has partnerships with several promotions across the world.
