Initiation as Xtreme Backyard Wrestling
With the overwhelming popularity of the Attitude Era which inspired backyard wrestling on a global scale, Xtreme Backyard Wrestling was founded by Nemesis, one of 6 other friends eventually came to be renowned as Reaper, The Icon, Deathwarrent, Tommy Gunn, Chris Phoenix and War, collectively known as the "XBW Originals". In consideration that backyard wrestling was a violent trend in that period, XBW had not strolled the path alternative federations were wrecklessly and death-defyingly taking, rather demonstrating verbal and physical attitude in a moderate way. They utilized a season operation for the progression of their federation without virtual publicity, implementing use of such shows as XBW Revolution and XBW Inferno in between supercards and carried out couple feuds before deciding to take a hiatus down in the season.
The Death of Nemesis
The death of Nemesis was a real-life crisis that occured on March 28, 2001 to Deathwarrent's brother, Nemesis during the late season 1 hiatus in XBW Wrestling. According to the Maryland Gazette news article:
"A 17-year-old boy riding his bicycle was killed Tuesday after being struck by three vehicles near a Glen Burnie intersection, county police said. Charles Michael Parrott of Glen Burnie was taken to North Arundel Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:38 p.m. Tuesday. Mr. Parrott was riding his bike south in the right-turn lane on Ritchie Highway when he approached the intersection of 8th Avenue about 8:10 p.m." - The Maryland Gazette
As a result of the Nemesis death, XBW became a sole dedication to him, commemorating him with the implementation of supercard, In Memory Of, where a Nemesis Memorial Cup Battle Royal occurs to crown the correspond winner with the Nemesis Memorial Cup regarded as one of the federation's most prestigious prizes in the form of a trophy.
Jackass Championship Wrestling Angle
In 2003, to kickstart a fresh new beginning in XBW, coming off the heels of tragic events that claimed the life of Nemesis two previous years ago, JCW was ushered in at the conclusion of the first episodic broadcast of the season ever produced online by the federation namely Revolution, depicting Tommy Gunn in his character transformation to Reilly Davidson and defection to self-made investment, Jackass Championship Wrestling, plotting a hostile takeover and eradication of XBW.
