 Kingdom (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingdom, was a professional wrestling company in Japan from 1997 to 1998.
Kingdom did not draw the huge crowds UWF International did in its heyday, and most of its major cards were at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, which could seat 2,000 fans on average.
Kingdom attempted to rectify this by inviting talent from other promotions, including Battlarts, but it did not have much effect.
