WCW Pro was a televised wrestling show presented by World Championship Wrestling. Along with WCW WorldWide, it was part of the WCW Disney Tapings.
WCW Pro started off as Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, one of two official weekly syndicated wrestling programs presented by Jim Crockett Promotions (the other was World Wide Wrestling, which in its final form was named WCW WorldWide). After the merger of JCP and Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1985, the show was renamed NWA Pro Wrestling. It was later renamed WCW Pro Wrestling sometime after Ted Turner bought JCP in 1988. Around 1994, the show was removed from syndication and added to TBS on Saturday mornings in place of WCW's ill-fated WCW Power Hour In the fall of 1995 WCW started taping WCW Pro at the Disney/MGM Studios as well. In 1996 the show moved to Sunday Afternoons, where it remained until its cancellation in 1998, and had its name shortened to WCW Pro.
In 1998, WCW Pro was cancelled when WCW decided to launch WCW Thunder.
