Alpha-1 Wrestling (A1) is a Canadian independent professional wrestling promotion based out of Hamilton, Ontario. The promotion was founded by Ethan Page in 2010 after he grew tired of inviting his family to see him in crappy bars commenting "I just figured I could do a better show myself".[2] It went on hiatus in 2012 for several months after one of the cameras used to tape a wrestling show was stolen,[3] and began a longer one in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed its operations in February 2024 and still continues to do so despite its founder Ethan Page joining WWE in May of the same year.
