History

PCW Ultra was founded in January 2016 by Joseph Cabibbo (known professionally as Josef Samael) and Mike Scharnagl under the name Pacific Coast Wrestling (PCW). In an interview with Sports Illustrated Scharnagl talked about the formation of PCW Ultra, stating that he attended a wrestling show but felt that the show was lacking. Upon discovering the cost to establish a new promotion, he decided to create one right away. He balanced his PCW responsibilities with selling car care products. Samael has over two decades of experience as a wrestler who used the ring name The Sheik as a tribute to Ed Farhat. The promotion features several different styles of professional wrestling such as hardcore wrestling, lucha libre, and catch wrestling. Longtime wrestler Kevin Sullivan, known as “The Taskmaster” from his time in WCW, works behind-the-scenes with Josef Samael with the promotion as it continues to grow and expand its reach beyond the west coast.
In an interview with the podcast "Keeping it 100 with Konnan", Samael talks about the influence Sullivan has had on PCW Ultra's booking, and how Sullivan has taught him how to book, promote and format a show. WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts also helped teach Samael. PCW Ultra's events are also featured on FITE TV PPV.
