History
Origin
In early 2006, Steven Hardy, Stone Hardy & The Joker started up the Hardcore Wrestling Organization (HWO). Steven Hardy defeated Stone Hardy in a ladder match on January 20, 2006 to become the first HWO World Heavyweight Champion. In early 2009, HWO changed in's style of wrestling from a hardcore base to a pure wrestling style hoping to draw in a new brand of fans, but the change came at a disappointment to the hardcore wrestling fans. So instead, Steven Hardy created Backyard Wrestling Entertainment (BWE). Since then BWE has gained it's own fan base and has become one of the most known byw federations to-date. Steven Hardy has focused more on technical wrestling then hardcore wrestling as it's HWO counterpart, and has added in a storyline base, so people will be more entertained.

Real World Entertainment
On January 1, 2011, Backyard Wrestling Entertainment came under management of a management group by the name of Real World Entertainment. The groups job is to increase interest in the product by creating wild and crazy storylines rarely seen in byw. The first order of business was to shut down BWE After Shock until a new bigger ring was built. The new ring will be 18x18 and have a strong frame then the last BWE ring which was a 12x12 ring.
BWE/HWO Merger
Backyard Wrestling Entertainment owner Steven Hardy and Hardcore Wrestling Organization Owner Stone Hardy, came to an agreement to merge the two federations, after Stone Hardy lost his career in a career vs. Streak match. Since then, Steven Hardy has started uploading past HWO videos to the BWE youtube channel and Stone Hardy has become the General Manager of BWE After Shock. All BWE events have been postponed and is unknown when BWE is return to action.
Real World Entertainment will be bringing in the HWO Championship as the new Hardcore Championship.
