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 March 16, 2023 by local resident, Daniel Bumba, a quantity surveyor turned television presenter. As of March 2024, the school currently trains over 180 students. The promotion is noted by 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]
