Women Superstars United
Women Superstars United (WSU; formerly Women Superstars Uncensored)[1] is an American, New Jersey based women's professional wrestling promotion which held its first event in 2006.[2] Shows combine wrestling interspersed with both serious and comedic storylines.[3] The company tapes two DVDs worth of material during weekend shows. Although many of the shows are promoted solely by WSU, they have also worked with National Wrestling Superstars.[4] As of October 2009, the promotion has a working agreement with Dragon Gate USA.
