Once among the rising wrestling promotions, Gulf Coast Wrestling now serves as the development promotion for ICW. When talks of transforming GCW into something akin to The League, the Powells decided to leave GCW as it was, resulting in ICW being formed. As the developmental promotion, GCW continues to provide new wrestlers with a stable environment to develop and grow before moving on to ICW or elsewhere.

With headquarters in Biloxi, MS, GCW offers shows for the whole family while providing the same action as ICW.
