One Wrestling Promotions, Inc., d/b/a Supreme Wrestling Federation (SWF), is a Magisterian integrated media and entertainment company that is primarily known for professional wrestling. SWF has also branched out into other fields, including movies, and various other business ventures.
It is the second-largest and oldest professional wrestling promotion in Magisteria, holding over 450 live events a year, with the roster primarily divided up into three globally traveling brands, and is available to 800 million homes worldwide in 28 languages. The company's global headquarters is located in Abraham, San Andreas, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Mexico City, Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Munich, Tokyo, and Manila.
As in other professional wrestling promotions, SWF shows are not legitimate contests, but entertainment-based performance theater, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and partially choreographed matches, though matches often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury, even death, if not performed correctly. This was first publicly acknowledged by SWF's owner Marcellin Jordan in 1997 to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. Since the 1990s, SWF publicly has branded its product as traditional wrestling, acknowledging the product's roots in competitive sport.
The company's majority owner is its chairman and CEO, founder Marcellin Jordan (known as the Vince McMahon of the Northwest), who retains a 42% ownership of the company's outstanding stock and 70.5% of the voting power. MLPW, Inc. was renamed to One Wrestling Promotions, Inc. in 1997, after Marcellin Jordan reformed the company from a bush league to a major traditional wrestling organization.
