History
Origin
In August 2001, xCw was founded by 14 year olds Tazer and Jonny V. They began promoting shows in the Heathridge/Ocean Reef area of Western Australia, at the xCw Arena and xCw Skydome. xCw would continue on for 2 strong full time years till February 2004, where during this time they captured the spirit and attention of other backyard wrestling companies in Western Australia with their internet presence, which boosted roster numbers to as many as 20 at one stage, and almost organised a 4 federation interpromotional backyard federation card, before rising politics and logistical problems came into play.
Premature closure and hiatus
In July 2002, xCw closed its doors for several months after half the roster quit due to lack of interest. This was the birth of Ultimate Backyard Wrestling, which folded too shortly after. xCw was revived in late September and went back to full time events till February 2004. After this was a mass hiatus for xCw, where events were so sporadic they became only once a year reunions with 2005's Fight For Farewell and 2006's Return For Redemption.
Revival in 2007
In September 2007 a revival of sorts was announced and that several events were planned for the next several months. This lead to some of the best events they had, as with the rising in age, came the rising in organisation and production values. Events became night time events under lights, with a music video screen for entrance theme's and videos, to DVD's, CD's, merchandise on sale at live events and large sell out crowds of their shows.
xCw Warzone and other events
xCw Warzone was originally the taped shows that had been organised between supercard shows, along with the pre show xCw Electrode. The show, was usually taped at their Connolly arena 'xCw Staple Center', or Ocean Reef's 'xCw Skydome. Their biggest show of the year among all is Christmas Kaos held in December.
Overview

xCw has survived 10 years by a group effort with the top 5 stars of the federation. They have paid dues and strived to achieve every goal they have set, one by one till they completed them all. They achieved everything they ever set out to achieve. The vision of longtime owner Tazer has exceeded his, and everyones expectations.
Product style
xCw offers a mix in technical, hardcore wrestling, along with sports entertainment, with storylines and comedy involved in their shows. Their production values are high with a wireless microphone, fantastic editing equipment for DVD releases, a video screen for entrance videos and songs, along with skilled digital media technicians making great video packages and hype videos. xCw is offered as an alternative to cliche backyard wrestling with a more fun, action packed atmosphere.
