History

The wXw initially started out on December 24th 2000 in Essen, Germany as a new promotion built around wrestlers of the former NAWA under the guidance of Peter "Hate" Wiechers. Starting with national wrestlers such as Thomas Blade, SigMasta Rappo and Michael Kovac, wXw lives through a steady growth in both quality of shows and quantity of public interest.

During 2004 and the beginning of 2005 collaborations with Pro Wrestling NOAH from Japan and and Wrestle Zone Wrestling from the United Kingdom, as well IWA Mid-South and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla from the United States enlarged the variety of the shows.
