'''Global Backyard Wrestling News''' ('''GBYWN''') is a globally outreaching, [[backyard wrestling]] social, media-sharing online forum community devised and owned by [[Cam]] in 2006 and has a separate alliance of federations converged with [[Battle Born Wrestling]] (BBW) known as "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation" which is operated by [[Rad Hazard]].

Through some doubt, the community rose from scratch to heightened popularity beginning in 2007 eventually surpassing top competitor such as [[Backyard Wrestling Link]]. Attributed much to its early success was its 24/7 operation and attractive multi-featured urban-like community. Multiple backyard wrestling federations have been integrated varying in style and quality and given entitlement to promoting their videos within.

GBYWN has been viewed to an extent as a controversial community that currently remains as the highest commercialized backyard wrestling site with over 1000+ registered members and generally seen by a handful to be the modern and preeminent backyard wrestling social online following.

==History==
===Origin===

In early 2006, [[Shawn Kozone]] (only known by that name then) opened a wrestling site called Wrestlezone 4000 in which did news coverage on professional wrestling companies but the site would be hacked. Kozone became aware of backyard wrestling, but however, held no initial interest until Dreadvenom (The Frank) of Backyard Wrestling Association got his attention diverted to BWA which Kozone only knew of.

In March 2006, after creating a freewebs wrestling site entitled 321wrestling under the slogan "we got two words for you, suck it" borrowing a catchphrase from World Wrestling Entertainment's D-Generation X, while in competition with two of his friends' more successful 365wrestling site on freewebs, Kozone closed his site going on hiatus from freewebs, testing Tripod that met his disapproval, sending him back to freewebs in June to create new wrestling site, 500wrestling to allegedly overthrow 365wrestling.

His interest furthered in backyard wrestling at the discovery of backyard wrestling site [[National New Age Alliance]] (NNAA) operated by The Frank, that promoted several heard-of internet promotions, inspiring Kozone to form his own federation alongside his brother City Boy and friend, Wild Wyatt known as Brutal Backyard Wrestling (later turning into Carolina Xtreme Wrestling). In September, following the folding of 500wrestling, Kozone was prompted to adopt a nickname - Cam (later notorious in the backyard wrestling community), going under ownership of said biggest WWE and TNA news site ever on freewebs, 123pin. Shortly, Cam formed a backyard wrestling-oriented freewebs subsite, Backyard Wrestling News (BYWN), incorporated to 123pin without expectation of exceeding. When the subsite began surpassing the status of his most successful wrestling site, he immediately terminated it for BYWN.

===Backyard Wrestling News (2006-2007)===

For starters, BYWN was a small site with mere visitation, thus fuelling the need to develop and mass advertise it virtually. Cam provided constant updates and promoted it across countless freeweb wrestling sites pulling in many backyard wrestlers as the guestbook began hosting frequent conversations. Interviews, ranking and competitive community features including "Federation of the Week" and "Federation of the Month" took implementation which assisted to grow interest in BYWN.

Not easily succeeding with a non-professional website receiving some accusations and criticism of being of "bland and unprofessional nature", BYWN underwent outlook modification for further attractiveness as changes were made giving it an urban, hang-out-spot feeling, continuously offering a guestbook, the addition of forums (that were initially barely visited), embedded videos, and additional rap music themed in the background for a brief point.

The regulation then was to join the community and stay participated for promotional advantages as opposed to just only visit to promote, where applicants were granted full accessibility to promotional rights which was later for a time earned through a money system called "GBYWN Dollars" and federation qualifications. In January 2007, a threatening opposition was faced in the arrival of a community known as [[World Backyard Wrestling]] (WBYW) attempting a rivalry but BYWN had amounted too big. Subsequently, Cam realized the worldwide outreach to backyard wrestlers and federations and renamed Backyard Wrestling News as "Global Backyard Wrestling News".

===Global Backyard Wrestling News (2007-present)===

GBYWN started blossoming heavily more than ever before with its multiple assembled federations under banner, some which included leagues like [[Championship Wrestling Association]], [[Extreme Wrestling Alliance]], Allied Wrestling Syndicate, and [[Trampoline Championship Wrestling]] gaining fandom and favoritism and becoming a household name among all backyard wrestling communities taking the lead over a community once at its highest popularity, [[Backyard Wrestling Link]].

In July, the community [[Breakfall.net]] surfaced online primarily focused with Australian backyard wrestling federations and seizing over some popularity. There was for a short interim, a rival relationship with both parties overtime, who criticized GBYWN federations and talent and wrote gossip columns to ridicule their operation, most notiably, the "GBYWN Dollars" feature. Moreover, being the more active, commercialized and global outreaching of a community than the competitor, the opposition stayed rather stagnant.

Between late 2007 and early 2008, adversity was encountered after a recuring series of misconducts from deligated moderators, few incensed with the results of the "GBYWN Power 25" feature designed to rank backyard wrestlers and federations which was felt to be unjust. Defaming damages were committed with deleted topics, posted obscenities and other provoking activities prompting the borderline closure of the site. Futhermore, conflicts were resolved, particular features discontinued and the forum renewed with the addition of a portal, and chatbox, later defeating the purpose of having the main website. Considering this incident was denigrating, the community somehow strengthened as a common unit.

GBYWN became a place of offering critical reviews to the media posted to achieve standards in the backyard wrestling action, and those who engaged in the practice only for recreation or was not as talented as others, started to be overshadowed. This inevitably led to some citing the social territory as controversial and accusing many people of "playing favorites" and "forming a large clique" that comment on their own videos. In addition, the forum procured a professional domain at thegbywn.com in 2009.

====Global Backyard Wrestling Nation (2009-present)====
GBYWN, had from the community aspect, established themselves as a global alliance and as did the territorial outstretched [[Battle Born Wrestling]] body of federations which Chairman [[Rad Hazard]] operated. In November 2009, after a conception had been within talks between Cam and Hazard, Hazard exclusively broke the news on the first episode of his reincarnated [[Backyard Wrestling Weekly]] series that both alliances would fuse for the result of becoming "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation", and that Hazard was the Chairman of the alliance.

Federations soon began being inducting into the GBYWN alliance on his show. Over a course of episodes for the first time ever, the [[Global Backyard Wrestling News awards|GBYWN End Year Awards]] (2009) was featured in a media presentation. The forum itself was converted to the new name only shortly, however, as Cam reverted the community back to "Global Backyard Wrestling News" based partly on Hazard himself wanting the alliance differentiated from the community as well as Cam's decision. As a result, it was made that "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation" refer to the alliance side of the agreement.

|}

GBYWN has utilized a number of features and challenges in maintaining a socially-attractive, virtually home-appealing mixed-age-group community filled with mostly backyard wrestlers allowing members to converse, share media and promote themselves. A chat box entitled the “GBYWN Shoutbox”, one of many other features formerly used on its website, is an applied addition to the forums which gives all personnel, interactive conversing privileges within the forum community.

Many of other competitive features incorporated into the community had only precipitated disputes between the backyard wrestlers, who cited some decisions as “unjust” and “inaccurate” leading to its disuse, coupled with the fact that it weighed in heavy on the hands of community owner, Cam, who was generally responsible for its updates that required to be alleviated to bring equilibrium between his life responsibilities.

With that, GBYWN retired features such as the GBYWN Power 25 which was a ranking board accused as being a biased system that rewarded backyard wrestlers for victories rather than skill. “GBYWN Dollars” which stood for a money system, that was once temporarily implemented to give those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities such as the fantasy wrestling "GBYWN Backyard Simulation Game", unofficial dollars eligible for purchasing promotion for their federation, however, is now used as forum reward points that can be used towards things such as graphics. Cam had also retired "GBYWN Weekly" and "Monthly Awards", prior to abandoning in the use of the main site, now only serving as a redirect link.

=====Site features=====
*'''GBYWN Backyard Simulation Wrestling Game:''' Was a fantasy wrestling game which allows one to become a GM and manage bookings of events in their fantasy league that appear in typewritten results involving backyard wrestlers from various real-life backyard wrestling federations.
*'''GBYWN Dollars:''' Stands for a money system, which was once implemented to reward unofficial dollars to those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities the eligibility to purchase promotion or a right. It has recently been brought back and is being used as a reputation scale, whereas, posts made by all in the community are approved or disapproved on a "+" or "-" vote that arise and decrease reputation within.
*'''GBYWN Music:''' An archive of royalty free music for backyard wrestlers composed by [[Jake Xinn]] and Fatality.
*'''GBYWN Pro Wrestling Game:''' Was a game that rewards points for casting predictions on pro wrestling bookings.
*'''GBYWN Cribz:''' A feature that allows members to record videos based on their personal living.
*'''GBYWN Columns:''' Was a blogging feature used for members to advertise and discuss feelings.
*'''GBYWN Power 25:''' Was a ranking system that promoted ascension on grounds of victories and popularity more than ability and eventually stirred controversy in the community leading to its discontinuation.

=====Challenges=====
*'''GBYWN Spring Challenge:''' This is the biggest aunnual competition in GBYWN occurring around spring, permitting any and everyone involved within to partake. The concept behind the competitive feature is that participants record and submit a match of any kind that must be full-length, which will be judged by special personnel of the community known as "Big Bros" upon review based on varying factors such as wrestling ability, psychology, match flow, and overall entertainment value. Previously, decisions were only made solely by [[Cam]].

In wake of action taken by copyright owners requesting mutation and/or removal of videos containing infringement on YouTube, [[backyard wrestling]] videos have become victimized as a result for possessing unpermitted borrowed material from various bands and music artists. As a back-up source, [[Cam]] created Backyard Wrestling Tube (BYWTube) on a custom social media-sharing network, Ning, that is steadily gaining more members.

==Federations==
: ''Main article: [[GBYWN Federations]]
Over 200+ distinctive backyard wrestling federations have aligned themselves with GBYWN since 2006. With the fact that several promotions have shuttered, there are still a very abundant amount of organizations still running today with GBYWN including [[2KW]], [[Indiana Championship Wrestling]], [[Bridgeview Wrestling Association|BWA/FWA]], [[2 Xtreme Wrestling Syndicate]], [[Northeast Championship Wrestling]], and several more.

==Championships==
{{small|The GBYWN territorial championships are assigned to federations of different regions. The titles must be contested within assigned location and federations in the area. The world and national championships are contested in correspondence to their category.}}

Attributed much to its early success was its 24/7 operation and attractive multi-featured urban-like community. Multiple backyard wrestling federations have been integrated varying in style and quality and given entitlement to promoting their videos within.

GBYWN has been viewed to an extent as a controversial community that currently remains as the highest commercialized backyard wrestling site with over 1000+ registered members and generally seen by a handful to be the modern and preeminent backyard wrestling social online following.

==History==
===Origin===

In early 2006, [[Shawn Kozone]] (only known by that name then) opened a wrestling site called Wrestlezone 4000 in which did news coverage on professional wrestling companies but the site would be hacked. Kozone became aware of backyard wrestling, but however, held no initial interest until Dreadvenom (The Frank) of Backyard Wrestling Association got his attention diverted to BWA which Kozone only knew of.

In March 2006, after creating a freewebs wrestling site entitled 321wrestling under the slogan "we got two words for you, suck it" borrowing a catchphrase from World Wrestling Entertainment's D-Generation X, while in competition with two of his friends' more successful 365wrestling site on freewebs, Kozone closed his site going on hiatus from freewebs, testing Tripod that met his disapproval, sending him back to freewebs in June to create new wrestling site, 500wrestling to allegedly overthrow 365wrestling.

His interest furthered in backyard wrestling at the discovery of backyard wrestling site [[National New Age Alliance]] (NNAA) operated by The Frank, that promoted several heard-of internet promotions, inspiring Kozone to form his own federation alongside his brother City Boy and friend, Wild Wyatt known as Brutal Backyard Wrestling (later turning into Carolina Xtreme Wrestling). In September, following the folding of 500wrestling, Kozone was prompted to adopt a nickname - Cam (later notorious in the backyard wrestling community), going under ownership of said biggest WWE and TNA news site ever on freewebs, 123pin. Shortly, Cam formed a backyard wrestling-oriented freewebs subsite, Backyard Wrestling News (BYWN), incorporated to 123pin without expectation of exceeding. When the subsite began surpassing the status of his most successful wrestling site, he immediately terminated it for BYWN.

===Backyard Wrestling News (2006-2007)===

For starters, BYWN was a small site with mere visitation, thus fuelling the need to develop and mass advertise it virtually. Cam provided constant updates and promoted it across countless freeweb wrestling sites pulling in many backyard wrestlers as the guestbook began hosting frequent conversations. Interviews, ranking and competitive community features including "Federation of the Week" and "Federation of the Month" took implementation which assisted to grow interest in BYWN.

Not easily succeeding with a non-professional website receiving some accusations and criticism of being of "bland and unprofessional nature", BYWN underwent outlook modification for further attractiveness as changes were made giving it an urban, hang-out-spot feeling, continuously offering a guestbook, the addition of forums (that were initially barely visited), embedded videos, and additional rap music themed in the background for a brief point.

The regulation then was to join the community and stay participated for promotional advantages as opposed to just only visit to promote, where applicants were granted full accessibility to promotional rights which was later for a time earned through a money system called "GBYWN Dollars" and federation qualifications. In January 2007, a threatening opposition was faced in the arrival of a community known as [[World Backyard Wrestling]] (WBYW) attempting a rivalry but BYWN had amounted too big. Subsequently, Cam realized the worldwide outreach to backyard wrestlers and federations and renamed Backyard Wrestling News as "Global Backyard Wrestling News".

GBYWN started blossoming heavily more than ever before with its multiple assembled federations under banner, some which included leagues like [[Championship Wrestling Association]], [[Extreme Wrestling Alliance]], Allied Wrestling Syndicate, and [[Trampoline Championship Wrestling]] gaining fandom and favoritism and becoming a household name among all backyard wrestling communities taking the lead over a community once at its highest popularity, [[Backyard Wrestling Link]].

In July, the community [[Breakfall.net]] surfaced online primarily focused with Australian backyard wrestling federations and seizing over some popularity. There was for a short interim, a rival relationship with both parties overtime, who criticized GBYWN federations and talent and wrote gossip columns to ridicule their operation, most notiably, the "GBYWN Dollars" feature. Moreover, being the more active, commercialized and global outreaching of a community than the competitor, the opposition stayed rather stagnant.

Between late 2007 and early 2008, adversity was encountered after a recuring series of misconducts from deligated moderators, few incensed with the results of the "GBYWN Power 25" feature designed to rank backyard wrestlers and federations which was felt to be unjust. Defaming damages were committed with deleted topics, posted obscenities and other provoking activities prompting the borderline closure of the site. Futhermore, conflicts were resolved, particular features discontinued and the forum renewed with the addition of a portal, and chatbox, later defeating the purpose of having the main website. Considering this incident was denigrating, the community somehow strengthened as a common unit.

GBYWN became a place of offering critical reviews to the media posted to achieve standards in the backyard wrestling action, and those who engaged in the practice only for recreation or was not as talented as others, started to be overshadowed. This inevitably led to some citing the social territory as controversial and accusing many people of "playing favorites" and "forming a large clique" that comment on their own videos. In addition, the forum procured a professional domain at thegbywn.com in 2009.

====Global Backyard Wrestling Nation (2009-present)====
GBYWN, had from the community aspect, established themselves as a global alliance and as did the territorial outstretched [[Battle Born Wrestling]] body of federations which Chairman [[Rad Hazard]] operated. In November 2009, after a conception had been within talks between Cam and Hazard, Hazard exclusively broke the news on the first episode of his reincarnated [[Backyard Wrestling Weekly]] series that both alliances would fuse for the result of becoming "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation", and that Hazard was the Chairman of the alliance.

Federations soon began being inducting into the GBYWN alliance on his show. Over a course of episodes for the first time ever, the [[Global Backyard Wrestling News awards|GBYWN End Year Awards]] (2009) was featured in a media presentation. The forum itself was converted to the new name only shortly, however, as Cam reverted the community back to "Global Backyard Wrestling News" based partly on Hazard himself wanting the alliance differentiated from the community as well as Cam's decision. As a result, it was made that "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation" refer to the alliance side of the agreement.

| <center> The [[GBYWN Spring Challenge 2009]] banner.</center>
|}

GBYWN has utilized a number of features and challenges in maintaining a socially-attractive, virtually home-appealing mixed-age-group community filled with mostly backyard wrestlers allowing members to converse, share media and promote themselves. A chat box entitled the “GBYWN Shoutbox”, one of many other features formerly used on its website, is an applied addition to the forums which gives all personnel, interactive conversing privileges within the forum community.

Many of other competitive features incorporated into the community had only precipitated disputes between the backyard wrestlers, who cited some decisions as “unjust” and “inaccurate” leading to its disuse, coupled with the fact that it weighed in heavy on the hands of community owner, Cam, who was generally responsible for its updates that required to be alleviated to bring equilibrium between his life responsibilities.

With that, GBYWN retired features such as the GBYWN Power 25 which was a ranking board accused as being a biased system that rewarded backyard wrestlers for victories rather than skill. “GBYWN Dollars” which stood for a money system, that was once temporarily implemented to give those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities such as the fantasy wrestling "GBYWN Backyard Simulation Game", unofficial dollars eligible for purchasing promotion for their federation, however, is now used as forum reward points that can be used towards things such as graphics. Cam had also retired "GBYWN Weekly" and "Monthly Awards", prior to abandoning in the use of the main site, now only serving as a redirect link.

=====Site features=====
*'''GBYWN Backyard Simulation Wrestling Game:''' Was a fantasy wrestling game which allows one to become a GM and manage bookings of events in their fantasy league that appear in typewritten results involving backyard wrestlers from various real-life backyard wrestling federations.
*'''GBYWN Dollars:''' Stands for a money system, which was once implemented to reward unofficial dollars to those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities the eligibility to purchase promotion or a right. It has recently been brought back and is being used as a reputation scale, whereas, posts made by all in the community are approved or disapproved on a "+" or "-" vote that arise and decrease reputation within.
*'''GBYWN Music:''' An archive of royalty free music for backyard wrestlers composed by [[Jake Xinn]] and Fatality.
*'''GBYWN Pro Wrestling Game:''' Was a game that rewards points for casting predictions on pro wrestling bookings.
*'''GBYWN Cribz:''' A feature that allows members to record videos based on their personal living.
*'''GBYWN Columns:''' Was a blogging feature used for members to advertise and discuss feelings.
*'''GBYWN Power 25:''' Was a ranking system that promoted ascension on grounds of victories and popularity more than ability and eventually stirred controversy in the community leading to its discontinuation.

=====Challenges=====
*'''GBYWN Spring Challenge:''' This is the biggest aunnual competition in GBYWN occurring around spring, permitting any and everyone involved within to partake. The concept behind the competitive feature is that participants record and submit a match of any kind that must be full-length, which will be judged by special personnel of the community known as "Big Bros" upon review based on varying factors such as wrestling ability, psychology, match flow, and overall entertainment value. Previously, decisions were only made solely by [[Cam]].
*'''GBYWN Tag Team Challenge:''' An annual challenge which bases on Tag team matches. The best tag match is rewarded.
*'''GBYWN Promo Challenge:''' An annual challenge that emphasizes competition on promo skills. The best promo is rewarded.
*'''GBYWN Talent Show:''' Was a contest that allowed participants to showcase any ability in or outside of backyard wrestling.
*'''GBYWN Head 2 Head (H2H):''' Was a weekly challenge which placed backyard wrestling federation videos against one another competitively for votes issued to the better video based on opinion.

In wake of action taken by copyright owners requesting mutation and/or removal of videos containing infringement on YouTube, [[backyard wrestling]] videos have become victimized as a result for possessing unpermitted borrowed material from various bands and music artists. As a back-up source, [[Cam]] created Backyard Wrestling Tube (BYWTube) on a custom social media-sharing network, Ning, that is steadily gaining more members.

==Federations==
: ''Main article: [[GBYWN Federations]]
Over 200+ distinctive backyard wrestling federations have aligned themselves with GBYWN since 2006. With the fact that several promotions have shuttered, there are still a very abundant amount of organizations still running today with GBYWN including [[2KW]], [[Indiana Championship Wrestling]], [[Bridgeview Wrestling Association|BWA/FWA]], [[2 Xtreme Wrestling Syndicate]], [[Northeast Championship Wrestling]], and several more.

==Championships==
{{small|The GBYWN territorial championships are assigned to federations of different regions. The titles must be contested within assigned location and federations in the area. The world and national championships are contested in correspondence to their category.}}

==History==
'''Version 1'''

AWGP was originally known as the [[New World of Disorder]] (nWd). nWd began in June 2007 under the name ''Brisbane Pro Wrestling'' however later changed their name to ''Wrestling Entertainment Queensland'' due to the controversy using the word Pro. nWd was founded on the basis of three already exsisting federations, '''Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling''' based bayside/northside Brisbane, '''Australian Wrestling League''' based Southside Brisbane and '''Full Throttle Wrestling Academy''' based in Caboolture/Bribie Island. nWd was originally to be an alliance between these federations producing a weekly webcast from each federation.

However numbers began to dwindal and in June 2008, the three federations joined forces to form one promotion making tapings and meetings easier for everyone. With the purchase of a low-level ring, and the introduction of Pro Training, nWd became the revolutionary force in Amature Sports Entertainment. nWd soon began promoting regular events and in early 2009 moved into a pro ring on the Gold Coast. In April 2009, nWd took time off to recharge their batteries and start fresh in 2010.

'''Version 2'''

The '''Australian Wrestling Grand Prix''' is a Backyard / Underground Wrestling Federation based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

==History==
'''Version 1'''

{| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=100 style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #ffffff; border: 2px #000000 solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"

AWGP was originally known as the [[New World of Disorder]] (nWd). nWd began in June 2007 under the name ''Brisbane Pro Wrestling'' however later changed their name to ''Wrestling Entertainment Queensland'' due to the controversy using the word Pro. nWd was founded on the basis of three already exsisting federations, '''Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling''' based bayside/northside Brisbane, '''Australian Wrestling League''' based Southside Brisbane and '''Full Throttle Wrestling Academy''' based in Caboolture/Bribie Island. nWd was originally to be an alliance between these federations producing a weekly webcast from each federation.

However numbers began to dwindal and in June 2008, the three federations joined forces to form one promotion making tapings and meetings easier for everyone. With the purchase of a low-level ring, and the introduction of Pro Training, nWd became the revolutionary force in Amature Sports Entertainment. nWd soon began promoting regular events and in early 2009 moved into a pro ring on the Gold Coast. In April 2009, nWd took time off to recharge their batteries and start fresh in 2010.

'''Version 2'''

AWGP returned to it's former glory when the superstars reunited to produce all new matches and featurettes. Several traditional concepts would remain however with the injection of new blood and new attitude, AWGP is set to bring the best in Aussie Underground Wrestling.

==Webcasts==
AWGP decided to present a spread out presentation of wrestling meets instead of uploading all at once allowing for the extension of storylines. Webcasts are commonly one YouTube Video in length with occasionally extending into a second or third video for the extra special matches. Webcasts are seperated into chapters to allow easier archiving and storyline seperation.

AWGP was originally known as the [[New World of Disorder]] (nWd). nWd began in June 2007 under the name ''Brisbane Pro Wrestling'' however later changed their name to ''Wrestling Entertainment Queensland'' due to the controversy using the word Pro. nWd was founded on the basis of three already exsisting federations, '''Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling''' based bayside/northside Brisbane, '''Australian Wrestling League''' based Southside Brisbane and '''Full Throttle Wrestling Academy''' based in Caboolture/Bribie Island. nWd was originally to be an alliance between these federations producing a weekly webcast from each federation.

However numbers began to dwindal and in June 2008, the three federations joined forces to form one promotion making tapings and meetings easier for everyone. With the purchase of a low-level ring, and the introduction of Pro Training, nWd became the revolutionary force in Amature Sports Entertainment. nWd soon began promoting regular events and in early 2009 moved into a pro ring on the Gold Coast. In April 2009, nWd took time off to recharge their batteries and start fresh in 2010.

'''Version 2'''

AWGP returned to it's former glory when the superstars reunited to produce all new matches and featurettes. Several traditional concepts would remain however with the injection of new blood and new attitude, AWGP is set to bring the best in Aussie Underground Wrestling.

==Webcasts==
AWGP decided to present a spread out presentation of wrestling meets instead of uploading all at once allowing for the extension of storylines. Webcasts are commonly one YouTube Video in length with occasionally extending into a second or third video for the extra special matches. Webcasts are seperated into chapters to allow easier archiving and storyline seperation.

'''[[SuperSlam]]''' - The Primary and Debut webcast. SuperSlam was orginally conceived to be the secondary webcast in 2009. SuperSlam is uploaded on Wednesday afternoons Australian Eastern Time / Wednesday Morning American Eastern Time.

'''[[Underground]]''' - The secondary webcast which was created to compliment SuperSlam. With the rating success of SuperSlam and the demand to spread the storylines out a bit more, Underground is set to heavily concentrate on the Championship defences and promos of the wresters.

The '''Australian Wrestling Grand Prix''' is a Backyard / Underground Wrestling Federation based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

==History==
'''Version 1'''

AWGP was originally known as the [[New World of Disorder]] (nWd). nWd began in June 2007 under the name ''Brisbane Pro Wrestling'' however later changed their name to ''Wrestling Entertainment Queensland'' due to the controversy using the word Pro. nWd was founded on the basis of three already exsisting federations, '''Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling''' based bayside/northside Brisbane, '''Australian Wrestling League''' based Southside Brisbane and '''Full Throttle Wrestling Academy''' based in Caboolture/Bribie Island. nWd was originally to be an alliance between these federations producing a weekly webcast from each federation.

However numbers began to dwindal and in June 2008, the three federations joined forces to form one promotion making tapings and meetings easier for everyone. With the purchase of a low-level ring, and the introduction of Pro Training, nWd became the revolutionary force in Amature Sports Entertainment. nWd soon began promoting regular events and in early 2009 moved into a pro ring on the Gold Coast. In April 2009, nWd took time off to recharge their batteries and start fresh in 2010.

The '''Australian Wrestling Grand Prix''' is a Backyard / Underground Wrestling Federation based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

==History==
'''Version 1'''

AWGP was originally known as the [[New World of Disorder]] (nWd). nWd began in June 2007 under the name ''Brisbane Pro Wrestling'' however later changed their name to ''Wrestling Entertainment Queensland'' due to the controversy using the word Pro. nWd was founded on the basis of three already exsisting federations, '''Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling''' based bayside/northside Brisbane, '''Australian Wrestling League''' based Southside Brisbane and '''Full Throttle Wrestling Academy''' based in Caboolture/Bribie Island. nWd was originally to be an alliance between these federations producing a weekly webcast from each federation.

However numbers began to dwindal and in June 2008, the three federations joined forces to form one promotion making tapings and meetings easier for everyone. With the purchase of a low-level ring, and the introduction of Pro Training, nWd became the revolutionary force in Amature Sports Entertainment. nWd soon began promoting regular events and in early 2009 moved into a pro ring on the Gold Coast. In April 2009, nWd took time off to recharge their batteries and start fresh in 2010.

'''Version 2'''

AWGP returned to it's former glory when the superstars reunited to produce all new matches and featurettes. Several traditional concepts would remain however with the injection of new blood and new attitude, AWGP is set to bring the best in Aussie Underground Wrestling.

==Webcasts==
AWGP decided to present a spread out presentation of wrestling meets instead of uploading all at once allowing for the extension of storylines. Webcasts are commonly one YouTube Video in length with occasionally extending into a second or third video for the extra special matches. Webcasts are seperated into chapters to allow easier archiving and storyline seperation.

'''SuperSlam''' - The Primary and Debut webcast. SuperSlam was orginally conceived to be the secondary webcast in 2009. SuperSlam is uploaded on Wednesday afternoons Australian Eastern Time / Wednesday Morning American Eastern Time.

'''Underground''' - The secondary webcast which was created to compliment SuperSlam. With the rating success of SuperSlam and the demand to spread the storylines out a bit more, Underground is set to heavily concentrate on the Championship defences and promos of the wresters.

==Roster and Staff==
'''Regulars'''
* [[AV Dangerously]] - Owner and Announcer. AV also produces DVD presentations for the Pro ''Australiasian Wrestling Federation''.

GBYWN Australian Heavyweight Championship

PhoniexFloyd — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:53:50 GMT

PhoniexFloyd: /* Website */

The '''GBYWN Australian Heavyweight Championship''' is a top tier title in the [[Australian Wrestling Grand Prix]] (AWGP). Commonly referred to as just the GBYWN by announcers, the title is the only GBYN Championship recognised in Australia. The championship is mainly for those on the AWGP Roster who have not recieved Pro Training, however that is not a sticking rule.

The physical championship belt was homemade by [[Atticus Floyd]], originally used as the [[nWd Tag Team Championship]] and was to be the Pro Federation, ACWA's version of the [[Smashmouth Championship]]. The physical belt returned to active service when AWGP re-activated.

The Inaugral Champion was [[Zac Shaw]], one of Queensland Backyard Wrestling's longest serving roster members. He defeated [[Crimson Genocide]].

'''Global Backyard Wrestling News''' ('''GBYWN''') is a globally outreaching, [[backyard wrestling]] social, media-sharing online forum community devised and owned by [[Cam]] in 2006 and has a separate alliance of federations converged with [[Battle Born Wrestling]] (BBW) known as "Global Backyard Wrestling Nation" which is operated by [[Rad Hazard]].

Through some doubt, the community rose from scratch to heightened popularity beginning in 2007 eventually surpassing top competitor such as [[Backyard Wrestling Link]]. Attributed much to its early success was its 24/7 operation and attractive multi-featured urban-like community. Multiple backyard wrestling federations have been integrated varying in style and quality and given entitlement to promoting their videos within.

GBYWN has been viewed to an extent as a controversial community that currently remains as the highest commercialized backyard wrestling site with over 1000+ registered members and generally seen by a handful to be the modern and preeminent backyard wrestling social online following.

==History==
===Origin===

In early 2006, [[Shawn Kozone]] (only known by that name then) opened a wrestling site called Wrestlezone 4000 in which did news coverage on professional wrestling companies but the site would be hacked. Kozone became aware of backyard wrestling, but however, held no initial interest until Dreadvenom (The Frank) of Backyard Wrestling Association got his attention diverted to BWA which Kozone only knew of.

In March 2006, after creating a freewebs wrestling site entitled 321wrestling under the slogan "we got two words for you, suck it" borrowing a catchphrase from World Wrestling Entertainment's D-Generation X, while in competition with two of his friends' more successful 365wrestling site on freewebs, Kozone closed his site going on hiatus from freewebs, testing Tripod that met his disapproval, sending him back to freewebs in June to create new wrestling site, 500wrestling to allegedly overthrow 365wrestling.

His interest furthered in backyard wrestling at the discovery of backyard wrestling site [[National New Age Alliance]] (NNAA) operated by The Frank, that promoted several heard-of internet promotions, inspiring Kozone to form his own federation alongside his brother City Boy and friend, Wild Wyatt known as Brutal Backyard Wrestling (later turning into Carolina Xtreme Wrestling). In September, following the folding of 500wrestling, Kozone was prompted to adopt a nickname - Cam (later notorious in the backyard wrestling community), going under ownership of said biggest WWE and TNA news site ever on freewebs, 123pin.

Shortly, Cam formed a backyard wrestling-oriented freewebs subsite, Backyard Wrestling News (BYWN), incorporated to 123pin without expectation of exceeding. When the subsite began surpassing the status of his most successful wrestling site, he immediately terminated it for BYWN.

===Backyard Wrestling News (2006-2007)===

For starters, BYWN was a small site with mere visitation, thus fuelling the need to develop and mass advertise it virtually. Cam provided constant updates and promoted it across countless freeweb wrestling sites pulling in many backyard wrestlers as the guestbook began hosting frequent conversations. Interviews, ranking and competitive community features including "Federation of the Week" and "Federation of the Month" took implementation which assisted to grow interest in BYWN.

Not easily succeeding with a non-professional website receiving some accusations and criticism of being of "bland and unprofessional nature", BYWN underwent outlook modification for further attractiveness as changes to BYWN were made giving it an urban, hang-out-spot feeling, continuously offering a guestbook, the addition of forums (that were initially barely visited), embedded videos, and additional rap music themed in the background for a brief point.

The regulation then was to join the community and stay participated for promotional advantages as opposed to just only visit to promote, where applicants were granted full accessibility to promotional rights which was later for a time earned through a money system called "GBYWN Dollars" and federation qualifications. Subsequently, Cam realized the worldwide outreach to backyard wrestlers and federations and renamed Backyard Wrestling News as Global Backyard Wrestling News.

In January 2007, GBYWN faced the arrival of a community known as [[World Backyard Wrestling]] (WBYW) attempting to rival and desparage them, but proceeded blossoming with its multiple assembled federations under banner, gaining fandom and favoritism and becoming a household name among all backyard wrestling communities taking the lead over a community once at its highest popularity, [[Backyard Wrestling Link]].

In July, the community [[Breakfall.net]] (BFN) premiered online primarily focused with Australian backyard wrestling federations as GBYWN accomplished a rival relationship with them overtime, who criticized GBYWN's and once wrote gossip columns to ridicule their operation, most notiably, the "GBYWN Dollars" feature. Moreover, being the more active, commercialized and "global outreaching" of a community than the competitor, the opposition grew further stagnant. Soon, GBYWN gradually acquired a short URL address using bigbig.com and also, WBYW became non-existent towards the end of the year.

Late 2007 to early 2008, set grounds for a denigrating time for the growing forums after a disturbing series of misconducts on behalf of assigned moderators incensed with the "GBYWN Power 25" feature designed to rank backyard wrestlers and federations. Actions included deleting topics and later evolved to the postings of obscene pornographic material and other thought-provoking activities impressing with distrust and prompting near borderline closure of the site. After issues were finally resolved, it caused features that arose problems to be discontinued before the forum was redesigned with the addition of a portal, and chatbox, later defeating the purpose of having the main website.

Considering this incident had done GBYWN all wrong, it factually somewhat strengthened the community and common unity and led to the beginning of a genesis forging forward as a sturdy, but still controversial site consistently renewing to retain interest. Successfully following years, GBYWN finally got a professional domain at thegbywn.com in 2009.

====Global Backyard Wrestling Nation (2009-present)====
A collaborative concept came between a discussion involving [[Battle Born Wrestling]] (BBW) Owner [[Rad Hazard]] and GBYWN Owner [[Cam]]. As an idea formed into a plan, Hazard exclusively broke on the premiere episode of his reincarnated [[Backyard Wrestling Weekly]] webcast in November 2009 that both alliances would converge for the result of Global Backyard Wrestling Nation which shortly took effect. With this agreement passing through, Hazard was made head honcho of the fused alliances and commenced in inducting federations into the GBYWN alliance on his show. Over a course of episodes for the first time ever, the GBYWN End Year Awards ( that was for 2009) was featured in a media presentation.

Because Hazard was against the alliance itself being connected with the community, and as well as Cam's decision, the community reverted back to being known as Global Backyard Wrestling News. Global Backyard Wrestling Nation, however, was left to still refer to the alliance side of the agreement between Cam and Hazard.

GBYWN has utilized a number of features and challenges in maintaining a socially-attractive, virtually home-appealing mixed-age-group community filled with mostly backyard wrestlers allowing members to converse, share media and promote themselves. A chat box entitled the “GBYWN Shoutbox”, one of many other features formerly used on its website, is an applied addition to the forums which gives all personnel, interactive conversing privileges within the forum community.

Many of other competitive features incorporated into the community had only precipitated disputes between the backyard wrestlers, who cited some decisions as “unjust” and “inaccurate” leading to its disuse, coupled with the fact that it weighed in heavy on the hands of community owner, Cam, who was generally responsible for its updates that required to be alleviated to bring equilibrium between his life responsibilities.

With that, GBYWN retired features such as the GBYWN Power 25 which was a ranking board accused as being a biased system that rewarded backyard wrestlers for victories rather than skill. “GBYWN Dollars” which stood for a money system, that was once temporarily implemented to give those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities such as the fantasy wrestling "GBYWN Backyard Simulation Game", unofficial dollars eligible for purchasing promotion for their federation, however, is now used as forum reward points that can be used towards things such as graphics. Cam had also retired "GBYWN Weekly" and "Monthly Awards", prior to abandoning in the use of the main site, now only serving as a redirect link.

=====Site features=====
*'''GBYWN Backyard Simulation Wrestling Game:''' Was a fantasy wrestling game which allows one to become a GM and manage bookings of events in their fantasy league that appear in typewritten results involving backyard wrestlers from various real-life backyard wrestling federations.
*'''GBYWN Dollars:''' Stands for a money system, which was once implemented to reward unofficial dollars to those representing their federations who partook in community games, contests and activities the eligibility to purchase promotion or a right. It has recently been brought back and is being used as a reputation scale, whereas, posts made by all in the community are approved or disapproved on a "+" or "-" vote that arise and decrease reputation within.
*'''GBYWN Music:''' An archive of royalty free music for backyard wrestlers composed by [[Jake Xinn]] and Fatality.
*'''GBYWN Pro Wrestling Game:''' Was a game that rewards points for casting predictions on pro wrestling bookings.
*'''GBYWN Cribz:''' A feature that allows members to record videos based on their personal living.
*'''GBYWN Columns:''' Was a blogging feature used for members to advertise and discuss feelings.
*'''GBYWN Power 25:''' Was a ranking system that promoted ascension on grounds of victories and popularity more than ability and eventually stirred controversy in the community leading to its discontinuation.

=====Challenges=====
*'''GBYWN Spring Challenge:''' This is the biggest aunnual competition in GBYWN occurring around spring, permitting any and everyone involved within to partake. The concept behind the competitive feature is that participants record and submit a match of any kind that must be full-length, which will be judged by special personnel of the community known as "Big Bros" upon review based on varying factors such as wrestling ability, psychology, match flow, and overall entertainment value. Previously, decisions were only made solely by [[Cam]].
*'''GBYWN Tag Team Challenge:''' An annual challenge which bases on Tag team matches. The best tag match is rewarded.
*'''GBYWN Promo Challenge:''' An annual challenge that emphasizes competition on promo skills. The best promo is rewarded.
*'''GBYWN Talent Show:''' Was a contest that allowed participants to showcase any ability in or outside of backyard wrestling.
*'''GBYWN Head 2 Head (H2H):''' Was a weekly challenge which placed backyard wrestling federation videos against one another competitively for votes issued to the better video based on opinion.

In wake of action taken by copyright owners requesting mutation and/or removal of videos containing infringement on YouTube, [[backyard wrestling]] videos have become victimized as a result for possessing unpermitted borrowed material from various bands and music artists. As a back-up source, [[Cam]] created Backyard Wrestling Tube (BYWTube) on a custom social media-sharing network, Ning, that is steadily gaining more members.

==Federations==
: ''Main article: [[GBYWN Federations]]
Over 200+ distinctive backyard wrestling federations have aligned themselves with GBYWN since 2006. With the fact that several promotions have shuttered, there are still a very abundant amount of organizations still running today with GBYWN including [[2KW]], [[Indiana Championship Wrestling]], [[Bridgeview Wrestling Association|BWA/FWA]], [[2 Xtreme Wrestling Syndicate]], [[Northeast Championship Wrestling]], and several more.

==Championships==
{{small|These GBYWN championships are assigned to federations of different geographical territories and must be also regionally contested and defended within assigned location. The GBYWN World, Womens' World, and Tag Team Championships do however have no boundaries.}}

New World of Disorder

PhoniexFloyd — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:01:42 GMT

PhoniexFloyd:

The nWd was a true example of a dream come true and a nightmare all at the same time. It started with a thought and started a legacy that impacted both Queensland Pro Wrestling Federations.

nWd started as BPW, Brisbane Pro Wrestling as an idea in mid-2003. [[Jaxon Hart|Jack Stannastret]] and [[Andrew Venables]] met a a Bayside Café at Sandgate, Brisbane, to discuss the transformation of [[Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling]] (TNTW), a backyard federation run from Shorncliffe. TNTW had a few skilled guys, a little deluded about just how good they were but their hearts were in the right place and had the potential to go far. Jack was designated Chairman of BPW with Andrew the second in charge (as BPW was a re-branded TNTW and Andrew agreed since Jack “owned” the wrestlers he would be in charge). We began to plan and but items needed but nothing ever happened on Jack’s end. BPW became a federation with no wrestlers. TNTW continued to promote on the side with all TNTW wrestlers refusing to change over to the BPW name.

In response Andrew began searching for brand new wrestlers not associated with TNTW and discovered there was a federation in Algester that was going well and expanding. The [[Australian Wrestling League]] (AWL) was the brain child of [[Jason West]] and featured his brother and best friends. With interesting concepts like the Chicken Coop Match and the Pool Match, Andrew contacted AWL and soon joined with them as a camera operator and adviser. AWL agreed to join BPW in 2007 and became the flagship brand producing a monthly online show using BPW as distributor and eventually was game enough to transform their monthly show into a bulk weekly taping. AWL BattleZone! Was a hit on YouTube and MySpace TV and BPW was finally born while TNTW still promoted separate.

[[RC Sic|Ryan Stacey]] contacted late 2007 Andrew from Bribie Island andintroduced the [[Full Throttle Wrestling Academy]] (FTWA) which was a re-branded Jacaranda Drive Wrestling Alliance and featured Ryan and his family and friends. Andrew travelled to Bribie Island and started to produce a weekly 1 match show for FTWA under the BPW Cyberized name. Ryan performing as Ryan Lawless brought a more Hardcore element to the BPW name and attrracted it’s own unique viewers again on YouTube. FTWA officially joined BPW and formed a second brand for the federation while TNTW continued to promote seperatly.

As 2008 began, BPW promoted the very strong AWL and FTWA on YouTube and BPW was finally up and running sucessfully. More and more people started joining thru BPW and the new wrestlers were assigned to their brands depending on what side of the Brisbane River they lived on (AWL Southside, FTWA Northside). Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were struggling internally. Jack and his best friend Andrew James (Kid Courage) booked themselves to win everything. Jack (as Kid Vicious) and Kid Courage were invincible creating new titles just so they were adorned with championships. The frustration within TNTW finally reared its ugly head when Jack realised that BPW has skyrocketed without him ad now featured more superstars than TNTW meanin Jack had lost his grip on BPW. In February 2008 Jack secretly tried to assume control of FTWA and AWL, threatened to sue for the name and rights and ‘fired’ Andrew Venables as his second in charge and proclaimed himself the sole leader of BPW. However Jack did not relies that AWL and FTWA had no interested in working under Jacks leadership as they feared their brands would end up like FTWA with Jack and Kid Courage holding all the titles.

As a result FTWA and AWL with the guidance of Andrew left BPW leaving Jack with the federation but only again the TNTW side of things. TNTW continued to promote almost no shows yet Jack still promoted himself as Undisputed Champion. AWL and FTWA formed Wrestling Entertainment Queensland, a new federation without the influence or participation of Jack or TNTW and once again WEQ dominated Backyard Wrestling on YouTube. Even with a promotional agreement with In Your House Wrestling Alliance, WEQ became bigger than BPW was producing 4 small weekly shows (AWL BattleZone, FTWA Thunder, FTWA Carnage and AWL Weekend Slam later Sunday Slam). AWL began taping once a month on a Saturday and FTWA the next Sunday in their respective territories even featuring cross promotional matches with wresters from each brand through Andrew as transport participating on the other brands shows.

nWd Tapes at the nWd Arena
Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were all but doomed. TNTW had split down the middle. Those that were fed of Jacks Dictatorship style booking left TNTW taking top superstars as [[Jimmy Superstar Jacobs]] and [[Wade Mitchells]] and formed the World Wrestling Corporation (WWC) and started performing in Bracken Ridge. WWC and WEQ soon signed a promotional deal, in which WWC would do the wrestling whilst WEQ would host, produce and distribute their shows on DVD and online. 2 WWC shows were produced before they decided to go on hiatis to contrate on senior school exams. TNTW was left in shambles.

AWL in the meantime had struck a deal with the Logan City Council. Through wrestler [[Josh Ives]] and his mum Susan, AWL began to promote backyard style shows in community halls around the Logan Council District. This allowed the greater freedom of equipment and days we could use as weather was no longer a factor and gave AWL a different feel to the viewer. However the cost facto became extraordinary and it was decided to return to the yard and AWL started producing shows from the Ives’ Frontyard.

With 2 strong brands and 1 ‘little brother’, WEQ began to dominate the scene again. WEQ attracted the attention of Chris Kenny of [[Extreme Neighbourhood Wrestling]] (ENW) and struck a deal with Andrew and WEQ to produce a cross promotional storyline featuring FTWA’s Ryan Lawless and ENW’s [[Ted Desus]]. The kayfabed rivalry crisscrossed both ENW and WEQ Shows causeing a lot of intrested from the Australian Wrestling Fraternity as most of the Lawless/Desus matches were realistic enough that people began thinking the two were really fighting each other.

As WEQ, WWC and ENW jointly took over YouTube viewership Jack and what was left of TNTW began to take notice and realised that they were missing out on the action and quietly begged WEQ to re-join. WEQ agreed on the condition that WEQ Rules were followed which meant Jack could not book himself to hold every title. As the second annaul Championship Challenge (WEQ’s Wrestlemania) came close, TNTW quietly remerged with WWC and became the third brand of WEQ. For the first time TNTW, AWL and FTWA promoted as one group and WEQ became the biggest Backyard Federation in Brisbane history.

Whilst WEQ grew, Andrew was quietly gaining the resources of 18 other smaller backyard federations which had decided to close down. One of these resources was the talented Chris Goode who wrestled under the name Atticus Floyd. The newly unified WEQ now had a wide range of wresters and plenty of talent turning up to the monthly bulk-weekly tapings. Titles from all three former brands were unified to allow a new look and feel to the federations and there was harmony between the federations. Before long, Andrew approached Jack about reforming TNTW as Total Nonstop Turmoil Wrestling and turning it into a new weekly show on YouTube in order to capitalise on the name recognition that TNTW claimed to have.
In September 2008, Chris Goode promoted WEQ; Wrestlefest which was going to serve as the relaunch of TNTW as a WEQ Show. However Jack had other ideas. Unknowing to the majority of the roster, Jack came out for his match, destroyed the WEQ set, destroyed the nWd Title belt and declared himself TNTW Undisputed World Champion and offended the majority of the roster. The AWL Alumni walked out of the show immediately and Andrew shut the show down and ordered everyone to go home. For the second time Jack had screwed WEQ. Andrew fed up wit the lies and betrayal of Jack shut WEQ down handing respective ownership of AWL and FTWA back to the original owners. Again TNTW split and WWC re-emerged however this was just a ploy to give TNTW two shows.

The alliance destroyed Andrew was happy to leave WEQ die in the shadows whilst fulfilling his commitment to release previously recorded footage. However WEQ would not stay dead for long. The remainders of FWA and AWL, and the newcomers not aligned to TNTW or WWC agreed to stay together and form the New World of Disorder (nWd) with Andrew had lead-booker. Andrew agreed and just as WEQ had done before nWd regained the respect lost by Jack and his TNTW/WWC Alliance (which really only featured the original TNTW Wrestlers). However Jack could not control himself in his new TNTW and again all the titles began filtering towards Jack and again TNTW split with the majority of guys heading back to WWC.

In a talent exchange, nWd again promoted with ENW with the very first nWd matches occuring at an ENW Event. The main evernters, Chris Goode, Peter Oliverini (PJ Twisted) and Ryan McShane (Ryan Phoniex) went toe to toe with the ENW again launching nWd into the spotlight. Meanwhile several AWL Alumni and Andrew Venables joined Impact Pro Wrestling (IPW) Formally Major Impact Wrestling, a professional federation on the Gold Coast. NWd was now learning from the pros who hosted training sessions. It was a hope of Andrew that nWd would join IPW as a second brand in some form and help achieve the dream that nWd would go pro.

Ryan Stacey / RC Sic and Smantha M / Underlord
As relations between nWd and WWC disintegrated (WWC tried to illegally unify the nWd World Championship with heir WWC Title) nWd excelled in skill as the main eventers trained with IPW and Andrew worked closely with IPW Promoter Peter Ball (aka Hawk). Andrew apyed close attention to what Peter Ball did to promote IPW and slowly Andrew took what he had learnt back to nWd. As a referee and announcer for IPW Andrew kept his ears and eyes open for the day that he would be promoting on the professional level. However Andrew did not know that the seeds of deception were being sewn for the ultimate downfall.

Andrew actively encouraged the nWd roster to join a pro federation and gain as much training as possible. Many saw nWd as the stepping stone into the big time of Australian Wrestling. Peter Ball was even confident enough to offer several nWd superstars spots on the full time IPW Roster which Andrew in no way discouraged any of them from taking them however all pretty much refused preferring to remain with nWd. With the help of Peter Ball’s soon to be Girlfriend and long time nWd supporter Susan Ives, nWd bought a low lever boxing ring to continue their rehearsals and soon the IPW Ring was made available to nWd for shows.

Seeing this as the big break, nWd gladly accepted the offer of IPW Ring usages and hired the ring to perform the shows. It is now apparent that this was an attempt to ruin the reputation of nWd which was averaging 500 to 600 views per part on YouTube. IPW encouraged and almost forced nWd to make their very first pro ring show open to the public. Whilst Andrew was reluctant at first due to the fact that the guys had no or extremely limited experience in te ring, he agreed to open the show to the public as a potential way to help finance the hire fees charged by IPW. A good crowd turned out for the debut pro nWd Show which featured the most people ever to perform in a single show.

With the use of the pro ring Jack and the majority of WWC and TNTW returned to the nWd Federation and all signed behaviour contracts written by Andrew and Peter Ball. The first show was considered a huge success. Everyone behaved, the matches went to plan and IPW were generally pleased with the overall day. Peter Ball approached Andrew after the show and asked whether he could talk to the boys from the perspective of 35 years in the business. Andrew agreed thinking that Peter was going to give them tips on where to improve, however this was not the case and Peter ripped the nWd roster a new one telling them that they had no hope of ever making it pro. Andrew was extremely offended by the actions of Peter Ball and many on the nWd roster saw this as a betrayal on Andrew’s part but Andrew was determined to make nWd a success and reluctantly booked a second show at the IPW facility however this time refused to charge public entry. Whilst people were encouraged to come along no entry fee was to be charged. The nWd roster agreed to pay $20 each to cover the rental fees.

nWd heavily promoted the in-ring shows and sought new talent to fill I the gap and expand the quality of wrestling. Two backyarders from Noosa came down and joined nWd for the day to fill out numbers for the second IPW hosted show cause the 2 days before the show nearly everyone pulled out. When questioned why they were breaking their commitment, the majority of the roster stated they were told the day had been cancelled by a certain member of the roster and had made other commitments in its place which they could not break. Andrew, just 12 hours before they were due to arrive at the venue cancelled the show and moved it back to a yard where they would save all the rental fees.

Ryan McShane was determined not to have the show cancelled and he and his ‘West Side Alliance’ were able to gather just enough money so that the show would go on. The second pro show went ahead and was almost a failure. 2 hours of footage was filmed over 6 hours as everyone who did show up decided that they wanted to muck around. Andrew’s one rule that he really enforced is when it’s time to wrestle you wrestle, time left over is yours. The show’s main event was ruined when Callum Phoenix / Konvict decided to change his storyline mid match leaving the Andrew red-faced and lost. Andrew after the show announced to nWd that he intended to leave the federation to concentrate on IPW. Ryan McShane and Chris Goode were placed as the bookers (as Andrew trusted them the most ) with Andrew assuming overall ownership.

As Andrew travelled to Warwick with IPW, nWd slowly crumbled. Andrew saw that nWd was going to die so stepped back in to organise and run the shows, but kept out of the storyline development. But things started to fall apart when an nWd/AWL Alumni that was wrestling for IPW informed Andrew that Peter Ball was going to throw him out of IPW for taking photos. Andrew and Peter had a brief confrontation, which Andrew mistakenly took as the throw out and left Warwick. Andrew returned to Brisbane and dedicated himself to the running of nWd. nWd was able to do one more smaller show before Ryan McShane announced the recreation of his original backyard fed which was to run side by side (almost as a separate brand) with nWd. However McShane took over the debut duel tapings and after he had what he wanted McShane encouraged a sit down so that the nWd footage would not be filmed. Fearing a repeat in history (WrestleFest) and decided it was time to end the day and reconvene when more time was available. McShane led an insurrection that afternoon declaring he would end nWd.

nWd ceased promoting after an individual calling himself "The Mastermind", "Kirsty Kleen", "Matt Falkner" grew jealous of he success of nWd, with nWd taking the place of his federation as Australia's Biggest, and decided to destroy the reputation of nWd and promoter Andrew Venables. At first is stories and lies were beleived by the roster however his continuous 'attacks' have become so comical (including badly photoshopped 'nude photos') that his posts are now the topic of humourous conversations. HOWEVER The Mastermind was successful in creating mistrust between several nWd members as his hacks and attacks coincided with a 'Truth Gathering Session' from two senio nWd performers. Hacker made the hacks look like it was done by the two senior Superstars but failed to take into account that nWd was more than just wrestling, it was the one thing that brought 7 groups together, become best friends and it will take a lot more then a jealous yarder from Sydney to break that up. If anything it has inspired EVERYONE to succeed more than nWd did whether as a group or individually.

New World of Disorder

PhoniexFloyd — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:58:08 GMT

PhoniexFloyd:

The nWd was a true example of a dream come true and a nightmare all at the same time. It started with a thought and started a legacy that impacted both Queensland Pro Wrestling Federations.

nWd started as BPW, Brisbane Pro Wrestling as an idea in mid-2003. [[Jaxon Hart|Jack Stannastret]] and [[Andrew Venables]] met a a Bayside Café at Sandgate, Brisbane, to discuss the transformation of [[Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling]] (TNTW), a backyard federation run from Shorncliffe. TNTW had a few skilled guys, a little deluded about just how good they were but their hearts were in the right place and had the potential to go far. Jack was designated Chairman of BPW with Andrew the second in charge (as BPW was a re-branded TNTW and Andrew agreed since Jack “owned” the wrestlers he would be in charge). We began to plan and but items needed but nothing ever happened on Jack’s end. BPW became a federation with no wrestlers. TNTW continued to promote on the side with all TNTW wrestlers refusing to change over to the BPW name.

In response Andrew began searching for brand new wrestlers not associated with TNTW and discovered there was a federation in Algester that was going well and expanding. The [[Australian Wrestling League]] (AWL) was the brain child of [[Jason West]] and featured his brother and best friends. With interesting concepts like the Chicken Coop Match and the Pool Match, Andrew contacted AWL and soon joined with them as a camera operator and adviser. AWL agreed to join BPW in 2007 and became the flagship brand producing a monthly online show using BPW as distributor and eventually was game enough to transform their monthly show into a bulk weekly taping. AWL BattleZone! Was a hit on YouTube and MySpace TV and BPW was finally born while TNTW still promoted separate.

[[RC Sic|Ryan Stacey]] contacted late 2007 Andrew from Bribie Island andintroduced the [[Full Throttle Wrestling Academy]] (FTWA) which was a re-branded Jacaranda Drive Wrestling Alliance and featured Ryan and his family and friends. Andrew travelled to Bribie Island and started to produce a weekly 1 match show for FTWA under the BPW Cyberized name. Ryan performing as Ryan Lawless brought a more Hardcore element to the BPW name and attrracted it’s own unique viewers again on YouTube. FTWA officially joined BPW and formed a second brand for the federation while TNTW continued to promote seperatly.

As 2008 began, BPW promoted the very strong AWL and FTWA on YouTube and BPW was finally up and running sucessfully. More and more people started joining thru BPW and the new wrestlers were assigned to their brands depending on what side of the Brisbane River they lived on (AWL Southside, FTWA Northside). Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were struggling internally. Jack and his best friend Andrew James (Kid Courage) booked themselves to win everything. Jack (as Kid Vicious) and Kid Courage were invincible creating new titles just so they were adorned with championships. The frustration within TNTW finally reared its ugly head when Jack realised that BPW has skyrocketed without him ad now featured more superstars than TNTW meanin Jack had lost his grip on BPW. In February 2008 Jack secretly tried to assume control of FTWA and AWL, threatened to sue for the name and rights and ‘fired’ Andrew Venables as his second in charge and proclaimed himself the sole leader of BPW. However Jack did not relies that AWL and FTWA had no interested in working under Jacks leadership as they feared their brands would end up like FTWA with Jack and Kid Courage holding all the titles.

As a result FTWA and AWL with the guidance of Andrew left BPW leaving Jack with the federation but only again the TNTW side of things. TNTW continued to promote almost no shows yet Jack still promoted himself as Undisputed Champion. AWL and FTWA formed Wrestling Entertainment Queensland, a new federation without the influence or participation of Jack or TNTW and once again WEQ dominated Backyard Wrestling on YouTube. Even with a promotional agreement with In Your House Wrestling Alliance, WEQ became bigger than BPW was producing 4 small weekly shows (AWL BattleZone, FTWA Thunder, FTWA Carnage and AWL Weekend Slam later Sunday Slam). AWL began taping once a month on a Saturday and FTWA the next Sunday in their respective territories even featuring cross promotional matches with wresters from each brand through Andrew as transport participating on the other brands shows.

nWd Tapes at the nWd Arena
Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were all but doomed. TNTW had split down the middle. Those that were fed of Jacks Dictatorship style booking left TNTW taking top superstars as [[Jimmy Superstar Jacobs]] and [[Wade Mitchells]] and formed the World Wrestling Corporation (WWC) and started performing in Bracken Ridge. WWC and WEQ soon signed a promotional deal, in which WWC would do the wrestling whilst WEQ would host, produce and distribute their shows on DVD and online. 2 WWC shows were produced before they decided to go on hiatis to contrate on senior school exams. TNTW was left in shambles.

AWL in the meantime had struck a deal with the Logan City Council. Through wrestler [[Josh Ives]] and his mum Susan, AWL began to promote backyard style shows in community halls around the Logan Council District. This allowed the greater freedom of equipment and days we could use as weather was no longer a factor and gave AWL a different feel to the viewer. However the cost facto became extraordinary and it was decided to return to the yard and AWL started producing shows from the Ives’ Frontyard.

With 2 strong brands and 1 ‘little brother’, WEQ began to dominate the scene again. WEQ attracted the attention of Chris Kenny of [[Extreme Neighbourhood Wrestling]] (ENW) and struck a deal with Andrew and WEQ to produce a cross promotional storyline featuring FTWA’s Ryan Lawless and ENW’s [[Ted Desus]]. The kayfabed rivalry crisscrossed both ENW and WEQ Shows causeing a lot of intrested from the Australian Wrestling Fraternity as most of the Lawless/Desus matches were realistic enough that people began thinking the two were really fighting each other.

As WEQ, WWC and ENW jointly took over YouTube viewership Jack and what was left of TNTW began to take notice and realised that they were missing out on the action and quietly begged WEQ to re-join. WEQ agreed on the condition that WEQ Rules were followed which meant Jack could not book himself to hold every title. As the second annaul Championship Challenge (WEQ’s Wrestlemania) came close, TNTW quietly remerged with WWC and became the third brand of WEQ. For the first time TNTW, AWL and FTWA promoted as one group and WEQ became the biggest Backyard Federation in Brisbane history.

Whilst WEQ grew, Andrew was quietly gaining the resources of 18 other smaller backyard federations which had decided to close down. One of these resources was the talented Chris Goode who wrestled under the name Atticus Floyd. The newly unified WEQ now had a wide range of wresters and plenty of talent turning up to the monthly bulk-weekly tapings. Titles from all three former brands were unified to allow a new look and feel to the federations and there was harmony between the federations. Before long, Andrew approached Jack about reforming TNTW as Total Nonstop Turmoil Wrestling and turning it into a new weekly show on YouTube in order to capitalise on the name recognition that TNTW claimed to have.
In September 2008, Chris Goode promoted WEQ; Wrestlefest which was going to serve as the relaunch of TNTW as a WEQ Show. However Jack had other ideas. Unknowing to the majority of the roster, Jack came out for his match, destroyed the WEQ set, destroyed the nWd Title belt and declared himself TNTW Undisputed World Champion and offended the majority of the roster. The AWL Alumni walked out of the show immediately and Andrew shut the show down and ordered everyone to go home. For the second time Jack had screwed WEQ. Andrew fed up wit the lies and betrayal of Jack shut WEQ down handing respective ownership of AWL and FTWA back to the original owners. Again TNTW split and WWC re-emerged however this was just a ploy to give TNTW two shows.

The alliance destroyed Andrew was happy to leave WEQ die in the shadows whilst fulfilling his commitment to release previously recorded footage. However WEQ would not stay dead for long. The remainders of FWA and AWL, and the newcomers not aligned to TNTW or WWC agreed to stay together and form the New World of Disorder (nWd) with Andrew had lead-booker. Andrew agreed and just as WEQ had done before nWd regained the respect lost by Jack and his TNTW/WWC Alliance (which really only featured the original TNTW Wrestlers). However Jack could not control himself in his new TNTW and again all the titles began filtering towards Jack and again TNTW split with the majority of guys heading back to WWC.

In a talent exchange, nWd again promoted with ENW with the very first nWd matches occuring at an ENW Event. The main evernters, Chris Goode, Peter Oliverini (PJ Twisted) and Ryan McShane (Ryan Phoniex) went toe to toe with the ENW again launching nWd into the spotlight. Meanwhile several AWL Alumni and Andrew Venables joined Impact Pro Wrestling (IPW) Formally Major Impact Wrestling, a professional federation on the Gold Coast. NWd was now learning from the pros who hosted training sessions. It was a hope of Andrew that nWd would join IPW as a second brand in some form and help achieve the dream that nWd would go pro.

Ryan Stacey / RC Sic and Smantha M / Underlord
As relations between nWd and WWC disintegrated (WWC tried to illegally unify the nWd World Championship with heir WWC Title) nWd excelled in skill as the main eventers trained with IPW and Andrew worked closely with IPW Promoter Peter Ball (aka Hawk). Andrew apyed close attention to what Peter Ball did to promote IPW and slowly Andrew took what he had learnt back to nWd. As a referee and announcer for IPW Andrew kept his ears and eyes open for the day that he would be promoting on the professional level. However Andrew did not know that the seeds of deception were being sewn for the ultimate downfall.

Andrew actively encouraged the nWd roster to join a pro federation and gain as much training as possible. Many saw nWd as the stepping stone into the big time of Australian Wrestling. Peter Ball was even confident enough to offer several nWd superstars spots on the full time IPW Roster which Andrew in no way discouraged any of them from taking them however all pretty much refused preferring to remain with nWd. With the help of Peter Ball’s soon to be Girlfriend and long time nWd supporter Susan Ives, nWd bought a low lever boxing ring to continue their rehearsals and soon the IPW Ring was made available to nWd for shows.

Seeing this as the big break, nWd gladly accepted the offer of IPW Ring usages and hired the ring to perform the shows. It is now apparent that this was an attempt to ruin the reputation of nWd which was averaging 500 to 600 views per part on YouTube. IPW encouraged and almost forced nWd to make their very first pro ring show open to the public. Whilst Andrew was reluctant at first due to the fact that the guys had no or extremely limited experience in te ring, he agreed to open the show to the public as a potential way to help finance the hire fees charged by IPW. A good crowd turned out for the debut pro nWd Show which featured the most people ever to perform in a single show.

With the use of the pro ring Jack and the majority of WWC and TNTW returned to the nWd Federation and all signed behaviour contracts written by Andrew and Peter Ball. The first show was considered a huge success. Everyone behaved, the matches went to plan and IPW were generally pleased with the overall day. Peter Ball approached Andrew after the show and asked whether he could talk to the boys from the perspective of 35 years in the business. Andrew agreed thinking that Peter was going to give them tips on where to improve, however this was not the case and Peter ripped the nWd roster a new one telling them that they had no hope of ever making it pro. Andrew was extremely offended by the actions of Peter Ball and many on the nWd roster saw this as a betrayal on Andrew’s part but Andrew was determined to make nWd a success and reluctantly booked a second show at the IPW facility however this time refused to charge public entry.

The show’s main event was ruined when Callum Phoenix / Konvict decided to change his storyline mid match leaving the Andrew red-faced and lost. Andrew after the show announced to nWd that he intended to leave the federation to concentrate on IPW. Ryan McShane and Chris Goode were placed as the bookers (as Andrew trusted them the most ) with Andrew assuming overall ownership.

As Andrew travelled to Warwick with IPW, nWd slowly crumbled. Andrew saw that nWd was going to die so stepped back in to organise and run the shows, but kept out of the storyline development. But things started to fall apart when an nWd/AWL Alumni that was wrestling for IPW informed Andrew that Peter Ball was going to throw him out of IPW for taking photos. Andrew and Peter had a brief confrontation, which Andrew mistakenly took as the throw out and left Warwick. Andrew returned to Brisbane and dedicated himself to the running of nWd. nWd was able to do one more smaller show before Ryan McShane announced the recreation of his original backyard fed which was to run side by side (almost as a separate brand) with nWd. However McShane took over the debut duel tapings and after he had what he wanted McShane encouraged a sit down so that the nWd footage would not be filmed. Fearing a repeat in history (WrestleFest) and decided it was time to end the day and reconvene when more time was available. McShane led an insurrection that afternoon declaring he would end nWd.

nWd ceased promoting after an individual calling himself "The Mastermind", "Kirsty Kleen", "Matt Falkner" grew jealous of he success of nWd, with nWd taking the place of his federation as Australia's Biggest, and decided to destroy the reputation of nWd and promoter Andrew Venables. At first is stories and lies were beleived by the roster however his continuous 'attacks' have become so comical (including badly photoshopped 'nude photos') that his posts are now the topic of humourous conversations. HOWEVER The Mastermind was successful in creating mistrust between several nWd members as his hacks and attacks coincided with a 'Truth Gathering Session' from two senio nWd performers. Hacker made the hacks look like it was done by the two senior Superstars but failed to take into account that nWd was more than just wrestling, it was the one thing that brought 7 groups together, become best friends and it will take a lot more then a jealous yarder from Sydney to break that up. If anything it has inspired EVERYONE to succeed more than nWd did whether as a group or individually.

New World of Disorder

PhoniexFloyd:

The nWd was a true example of a dream come true and a nightmare all at the same time. It started with a thought and started a legacy that impacted both Queensland Pro Wrestling Federations.

nWd started as BPW, Brisbane Pro Wrestling as an idea in mid-2003. [[Jaxon Hart|Jack Stannastret]] and [[Andrew Venables]] met a a Bayside Café at Sandgate, Brisbane, to discuss the transformation of [[Total Nonstop Teenage Wrestling]] (TNTW), a backyard federation run from Shorncliffe. TNTW had a few skilled guys, a little deluded about just how good they were but their hearts were in the right place and had the potential to go far. Jack was designated Chairman of BPW with Andrew the second in charge (as BPW was a re-branded TNTW and Andrew agreed since Jack “owned” the wrestlers he would be in charge). We began to plan and but items needed but nothing ever happened on Jack’s end. BPW became a federation with no wrestlers. TNTW continued to promote on the side with all TNTW wrestlers refusing to change over to the BPW name.

In response Andrew began searching for brand new wrestlers not associated with TNTW and discovered there was a federation in Algester that was going well and expanding. The [[Australian Wrestling League]] (AWL) was the brain child of [[Jason West]] and featured his brother and best friends. With interesting concepts like the Chicken Coop Match and the Pool Match, Andrew contacted AWL and soon joined with them as a camera operator and adviser. AWL agreed to join BPW in 2007 and became the flagship brand producing a monthly online show using BPW as distributor and eventually was game enough to transform their monthly show into a bulk weekly taping. AWL BattleZone! Was a hit on YouTube and MySpace TV and BPW was finally born while TNTW still promoted separate.

[[RC Sic|Ryan Stacey]] contacted late 2007 Andrew from Bribie Island andintroduced the [[Full Throttle Wrestling Academy]] (FTWA) which was a re-branded Jacaranda Drive Wrestling Alliance and featured Ryan and his family and friends. Andrew travelled to Bribie Island and started to produce a weekly 1 match show for FTWA under the BPW Cyberized name. Ryan performing as Ryan Lawless brought a more Hardcore element to the BPW name and attrracted it’s own unique viewers again on YouTube. FTWA officially joined BPW and formed a second brand for the federation while TNTW continued to promote seperatly.

As 2008 began, BPW promoted the very strong AWL and FTWA on YouTube and BPW was finally up and running sucessfully. More and more people started joining thru BPW and the new wrestlers were assigned to their brands depending on what side of the Brisbane River they lived on (AWL Southside, FTWA Northside). Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were struggling internally. Jack and his best friend Andrew James (Kid Courage) booked themselves to win everything. Jack (as Kid Vicious) and Kid Courage were invincible creating new titles just so they were adorned with championships. The frustration within TNTW finally reared its ugly head when Jack realised that BPW has skyrocketed without him ad now featured more superstars than TNTW meanin Jack had lost his grip on BPW. In February 2008 Jack secretly tried to assume control of FTWA and AWL, threatened to sue for the name and rights and ‘fired’ Andrew Venables as his second in charge and proclaimed himself the sole leader of BPW. However Jack did not relies that AWL and FTWA had no interested in working under Jacks leadership as they feared their brands would end up like FTWA with Jack and Kid Courage holding all the titles.

As a result FTWA and AWL with the guidance of Andrew left BPW leaving Jack with the federation but only again the TNTW side of things. TNTW continued to promote almost no shows yet Jack still promoted himself as Undisputed Champion. AWL and FTWA formed Wrestling Entertainment Queensland, a new federation without the influence or participation of Jack or TNTW and once again WEQ dominated Backyard Wrestling on YouTube. Even with a promotional agreement with In Your House Wrestling Alliance, WEQ became bigger than BPW was producing 4 small weekly shows (AWL BattleZone, FTWA Thunder, FTWA Carnage and AWL Weekend Slam later Sunday Slam). AWL began taping once a month on a Saturday and FTWA the next Sunday in their respective territories even featuring cross promotional matches with wresters from each brand through Andrew as transport participating on the other brands shows.

nWd Tapes at the nWd Arena
Meanwhile Jack and TNTW were all but doomed. TNTW had split down the middle. Those that were fed of Jacks Dictatorship style booking left TNTW taking top superstars as [[Jimmy Superstar Jacobs]] and [[Wade Mitchells]] and formed the World Wrestling Corporation (WWC) and started performing in Bracken Ridge. WWC and WEQ soon signed a promotional deal, in which WWC would do the wrestling whilst WEQ would host, produce and distribute their shows on DVD and online. 2 WWC shows were produced before they decided to go on hiatis to contrate on senior school exams. TNTW was left in shambles.

AWL in the meantime had struck a deal with the Logan City Council. Through wrestler [[Josh Ives]] and his mum Susan, AWL began to promote backyard style shows in community halls around the Logan Council District. This allowed the greater freedom of equipment and days we could use as weather was no longer a factor and gave AWL a different feel to the viewer. However the cost facto became extraordinary and it was decided to return to the yard and AWL started producing shows from the Ives’ Frontyard.

With 2 strong brands and 1 ‘little brother’, WEQ began to dominate the scene again. WEQ attracted the attention of Chris Kenny of [[Extreme Neighbourhood Wrestling]] (ENW) and struck a deal with Andrew and WEQ to produce a cross promotional storyline featuring FTWA’s Ryan Lawless and ENW’s [[Ted Desus]]. The kayfabed rivalry crisscrossed both ENW and WEQ Shows causeing a lot of intrested from the Australian Wrestling Fraternity as most of the Lawless/Desus matches were realistic enough that people began thinking the two were really fighting each other.

As WEQ, WWC and ENW jointly took over YouTube viewership Jack and what was left of TNTW began to take notice and realised that they were missing out on the action and quietly begged WEQ to re-join. WEQ agreed on the condition that WEQ Rules were followed which meant Jack could not book himself to hold every title. As the second annaul Championship Challenge (WEQ’s Wrestlemania) came close, TNTW quietly remerged with WWC and became the third brand of WEQ. For the first time TNTW, AWL and FTWA promoted as one group and WEQ became the biggest Backyard Federation in Brisbane history.

Whilst WEQ grew, Andrew was quietly gaining the resources of 18 other smaller backyard federations which had decided to close down. One of these resources was the talented Chris Goode who wrestled under the name Atticus Floyd. The newly unified WEQ now had a wide range of wresters and plenty of talent turning up to the monthly bulk-weekly tapings. Titles from all three former brands were unified to allow a new look and feel to the federations and there was harmony between the federations. Before long, Andrew approached Jack about reforming TNTW as Total Nonstop Turmoil Wrestling and turning it into a new weekly show on YouTube in order to capitalise on the name recognition that TNTW claimed to have.
In September 2008, Chris Goode promoted WEQ; Wrestlefest which was going to serve as the relaunch of TNTW as a WEQ Show. However Jack had other ideas. Unknowing to the majority of the roster, Jack came out for his match, destroyed the WEQ set, destroyed the nWd Title belt and declared himself TNTW Undisputed World Champion and offended the majority of the roster. The AWL Alumni walked out of the show immediately and Andrew shut the show down and ordered everyone to go home. For the second time Jack had screwed WEQ. Andrew fed up wit the lies and betrayal of Jack shut WEQ down handing respective ownership of AWL and FTWA back to the original owners. Again TNTW split and WWC re-emerged however this was just a ploy to give TNTW two shows.

The alliance destroyed Andrew was happy to leave WEQ die in the shadows whilst fulfilling his commitment to release previously recorded footage. However WEQ would not stay dead for long. The remainders of FWA and AWL, and the newcomers not aligned to TNTW or WWC agreed to stay together and form the New World of Disorder (nWd) with Andrew had lead-booker. Andrew agreed and just as WEQ had done before nWd regained the respect lost by Jack and his TNTW/WWC Alliance (which really only featured the original TNTW Wrestlers). However Jack could not control himself in his new TNTW and again all the titles began filtering towards Jack and again TNTW split with the majority of guys heading back to WWC.

In a talent exchange, nWd again promoted with ENW with the very first nWd matches occuring at an ENW Event. The main evernters, Chris Goode, Peter Oliverini (PJ Twisted) and Ryan McShane (Ryan Phoniex) went toe to toe with the ENW again launching nWd into the spotlight. Meanwhile several AWL Alumni and Andrew Venables joined Impact Pro Wrestling (IPW) Formally Major Impact Wrestling, a professional federation on the Gold Coast. NWd was now learning from the pros who hosted training sessions. It was a hope of Andrew that nWd would join IPW as a second brand in some form and help achieve the dream that nWd would go pro.

Ryan Stacey / RC Sic and Smantha M / Underlord
As relations between nWd and WWC disintegrated (WWC tried to illegally unify the nWd World Championship with heir WWC Title) nWd excelled in skill as the main eventers trained with IPW and Andrew worked closely with IPW Promoter Peter Ball (aka Hawk). Andrew apyed close attention to what Peter Ball did to promote IPW and slowly Andrew took what he had learnt back to nWd. As a referee and announcer for IPW Andrew kept his ears and eyes open for the day that he would be promoting on the professional level. However Andrew did not know that the seeds of deception were being sewn for the ultimate downfall.

Andrew actively encouraged the nWd roster to join a pro federation and gain as much training as possible. Many saw nWd as the stepping stone into the big time of Australian Wrestling. Peter Ball was even confident enough to offer several nWd superstars spots on the full time IPW Roster which Andrew in no way discouraged any of them from taking them however all pretty much refused preferring to remain with nWd. With the help of Peter Ball’s soon to be Girlfriend and long time nWd supporter Susan Ives, nWd bought a low lever boxing ring to continue their rehearsals and soon the IPW Ring was made available to nWd for shows.

Seeing this as the big break, nWd gladly accepted the offer of IPW Ring usages and hired the ring to perform the shows. It is now apparent that this was an attempt to ruin the reputation of nWd which was averaging 500 to 600 views per part on YouTube. IPW encouraged and almost forced nWd to make their very first pro ring show open to the public. Whilst Andrew was reluctant at first due to the fact that the guys had no or extremely limited experience in te ring, he agreed to open the show to the public as a potential way to help finance the hire fees charged by IPW. A good crowd turned out for the debut pro nWd Show which featured the most people ever to perform in a single show.

With the use of the pro ring Jack and the majority of WWC and TNTW returned to the nWd Federation and all signed behaviour contracts written by Andrew and Peter Ball. The first show was considered a huge success. Everyone behaved, the matches went to plan and IPW were generally pleased with the overall day. Peter Ball approached Andrew after the show and asked whether he could talk to the boys from the perspective of 35 years in the business. Andrew agreed thinking that Peter was going to give them tips on where to improve, however this was not the case and Peter ripped the nWd roster a new one telling them that they had no hope of ever making it pro. Andrew was extremely offended by the actions of Peter Ball and many on the nWd roster saw this as a betrayal on Andrew’s part but Andrew was determined to make nWd a success and reluctantly booked a second show at the IPW facility however this time refused to charge public entry. Whilst people were encouraged to come along no entry fee was to be charged. The nWd roster agreed to pay $20 each to cover the rental fees.

nWd heavily promoted the in-ring shows and sought new talent to fill I the gap and expand the quality of wrestling. Two backyarders from Noosa came down and joined nWd for the day to fill out numbers for the second IPW hosted show cause the 2 days before the show nearly everyone pulled out. When questioned why they were breaking their commitment, the majority of the roster stated they were told the day had been cancelled by a certain member of the roster and had made other commitments in its place which they could not break. Andrew, just 12 hours before they were due to arrive at the venue cancelled the show and moved it back to a yard where they would save all the rental fees.

Ryan McShane was determined not to have the show cancelled and he and his ‘West Side Alliance’ were able to gather just enough money so that the show would go on. The second pro show went ahead and was almost a failure. 2 hours of footage was filmed over 6 hours as everyone who did show up decided that they wanted to muck around. Andrew’s one rule that he really enforced is when it’s time to wrestle you wrestle, time left over is yours. The show’s main event was ruined when Callum Phoenix / Konvict decided to change his storyline mid match leaving the Andrew red-faced and lost. Andrew after the show announced to nWd that he intended to leave the federation to concentrate on IPW. Ryan McShane and Chris Goode were placed as the bookers (as Andrew trusted them the most ) with Andrew assuming overall ownership.

As Andrew travelled to Warwick with IPW, nWd slowly crumbled. Andrew saw that nWd was going to die so stepped back in to organise and run the shows, but kept out of the storyline development. But things started to fall apart when an nWd/AWL Alumni that was wrestling for IPW informed Andrew that Peter Ball was going to throw him out of IPW for taking photos. Andrew and Peter had a brief confrontation, which Andrew mistakenly took as the throw out and left Warwick. Andrew returned to Brisbane and dedicated himself to the running of nWd. nWd was able to do one more smaller show before Ryan McShane announced the recreation of his original backyard fed which was to run side by side (almost as a separate brand) with nWd. However McShane took over the debut duel tapings and after he had what he wanted McShane encouraged a sit down so that the nWd footage would not be filmed. Fearing a repeat in history (WrestleFest) and decided it was time to end the day and reconvene when more time was available. McShane led an insurrection that afternoon declaring he would end nWd.

nWd ceased promoting after an individual calling himself "The Mastermind", "Kirsty Kleen", "Matt Falkner" grew jealous of he success of nWd, with nWd taking the place of his federation as Australia's Biggest, and decided to destroy the reputation of nWd and promoter Andrew Venables.
