National Backyard Wrestling Alliance (NBYWA) is a small backyard wrestling community founded by Skull Jr. on January 22, 2009. Despite having the term "national", NBYWA has not yet assembled a national gathering (it has federations only in two of the five regions of the United States, and only one country that makes up the United Kingdom).

The history of NBYWA can be considered to have started in July 2007, when Skull Jr.'s BYW federation Total Hardcore Wrestling (THW) went to the internet with it's own website. Without having a camera to take video of the events, THW wasn't taken too seriously (though there is known pictures of events out that are being searched for). This, and the fact that four of it's seven wrestlers wanted to retire, were huge factors in THW's closing on July 12, 2008. After talking to Jake Adams of WZW about a possible match, Skull Jr. advertised it on the GBYWN forums, causing a short verbal feud with popular wrestlers, claiming that he wasn't legitimate enough to wrestle Adams by not showcasing his own matches. After the feud ended, Skull Jr. had an abysmal match with RPK of HCW on November 29, 2008, which he was criticized more for. A good match versus RPK and AC occurred on January 10, 2009, which was completely ignored. (more)

The Featured Backyard Wrestler of the Month of April is Tek. Tek is an American backyard wrestler who competes in 2KW and Elite Wrestling Association. He began wrestling around 2001 in a small federation known as UCW. However, he is best viewed for his days in upscale backyard wrestling federation United Wrestling Alliance (UWA). Tek is observed as one of the best lightweight wrestlers in the practice, wrestling in high profile bouts with any size competitors, even having pursued pro championship belts in pro organizations. His additional claim to fame is his innovative catchphrase, "who wants to go swimming", a preceding to his patented Cannonball signature move. Tek's overall backyard championship accomplishments include being a UWA Cruiserweight Champion, 2 time UWA Tag Team Champion and EWA Elite Tournament 2009 winner. Also in 2009, Tek was the first inducted into the GBYWN Hall of Fame.
