History

Origin

In July 2008, HGEW was formed as a trampoline promotion between friends. Live events were a regular feature of the promotion, with many local wrestlers joining to have some fun. 5 minute highlight packages of the events began to be broadcast on Youtube under the title "HGEW Implosion". President Payne and Hardcore Hudson became the faces of HGEW, main eventing and having the best matches. Other such as Chris Turner and Ryan Shadows became revered in the early days, having the first endurance match in the company history. Turner and Payne began a feud, solely intent on delivering great matches for the fans. Both wrestlers earned each other's respect at the end of the feud and HGEW became solidified as a company which highlighted wrestling.

HGEW decided to take a more serious turn as many wrestlers felt unchallenged and bored of the current regime. An influx of new wrestlers saw HGEW becoming a more variety based product, highlighting various styles of wrestling. HGEW's first major event was Trepidation 2009, which saw JKH win the HGEW Heavyweight Championship. President Payne began a feud with Alex Page which to this day is revered as HGEW's best feud.
