Soft Ground Wrestling (Ekigwo kya Bumbash, abbrivated SGW) is an Ugandan professional wrestling promotion and wrestling school. [1] [2] Based in Mukono – Kirangira, Mukono District, SGW was founded on March 16, 2023, by local resident Daniel Bumba, a quantity surveyor turned television presenter. As of March 2024, the school trains over 180 students. The promotion is noted for their rudimentary production setup that consists of a wrestling ring made from mud, surrounded by nylon ropes held together by bamboo posts. [3]
The promotion gained international attention when All Elite Wrestling's Will Ospreay and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Jordynne Grace made donations to a GoFundMe fundraiser aimed at providing it a standard wrestling ring as well as additional operating funds. [4] On June 11, WWE’s Cody Rhodes announced he would cover the cost to have an official ring constructed for the promotion. [5]
