In the summer of 2008, The Shooter entered a promo into the GBYWN 2008 promo challenge, declaring himself the very first GBYWN World Heavyweight Champion, a claim that was soon sanctioned by GBYWN forum owner Cam, effectively creating the first championship in the alliance (GBYWN would not officially declare itself an alliance until late 2008-early 2008 when more titles were sanctioned. On December 7, 2009, Battle Born Wrestling was formed by Rad Hazard, a known internet personality from his web show [[Backyard Wrestlign Weekly] , beginning another major backyard wrestling alliance for the community to choose from. Over the course of 2009, GBYWN acted as a mainstream BYW alliance while BBW showcased lesser known federations and talent. This would continue until the federations began to jump ship & join both alliances in order to reach maximum exposure, initiating the idea to shut both alliances down and start anew, utilizing the entire community under one unified banner.

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 go defunct in order to creat a new alliance, also known as the GBYWN (GBYWNation)in order to keep the change simple for it's followers. As a result, a new alliance was made with Cam as president and Rad Hazard as chairman.

Federations soon began being inducting into the GBYWNation alliance on Backyard Wrestling Weekly. Over a course of episodes for the first time ever, the 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.

By late 2010, Hazard had effectively established himself as the "Chairman of the Board of Directors" of the GBYWNation federation alliance which reached lengths in causing some confusion between the two GBYWN's (the alliance and the forum). Rad sanctioned over 30 GBYWN championships across the Nation, and while a wildly fun idea in theory, became a hindrance abroad as many titles lacked in defenses and overall prestige in the eye of it's followers. Cam was unaware of these changes as he had taken a brief hiatus from which, upon his return, disapproved of. When negotiations were brought to a deadlock between the President & Chairman, both parties agreed to once again utilize two alliances with Cam reactivating the GBYWNews brand while Rad continued his GBYWNation brand under a new name, the Global Backyard Wrestling Alliance (GBYWA), in order to differentiate the brand's initials from one another.

Global Backyard Wrestling Alliance (GBYWA) is a globally outreaching, backyard wrestling social, media-sharing online forum community devised and created by Rad Hazard and Cam in 2009.

History

Before the Alliance

In the summer of 2008, The Shooter entered a promo into the GBYWN 2008 promo challenge, declaring himself the very first GBYWN World Heavyweight Champion, a claim that was soon sanctioned by GBYWN forum owner Cam, effectively creating the first championship in the alliance (GBYWN would not officially declare itself an alliance until late 2008-early 2008 when more titles were sanctioned. On December 7, 2009, Battle Born Wrestling was formed by Rad Hazard, a known internet personality from his web show [[Backyard Wrestlign Weekly] , beginning another major backyard wrestling alliance for the community to choose from. Over the course of 2009, GBYWN acted as a mainstream BYW alliance while BBW showcased lesser known federations and talent. This would continue until the federations began to jump ship & join both alliances in order to reach maximum exposure, initiating the idea to shut both alliances down and start anew, utilizing the entire community under one unified banner.

Backyard Wrestling Nation (2009-20011)

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 initially started the negotiations in October), Hazard exclusively broke the news on the first episode of his reincarnated Backyard Wrestling Weekly series that both alliances would go defunct in order to create a new alliance, also known as the GBYWN (GBYWNation)in order to keep the change simple for it's followers. As a result, a new alliance was made with Cam as president and Rad Hazard as chairman.

Federations soon began being inducting into the GBYWNation alliance on Backyard Wrestling Weekly. Over a course of episodes for the first time ever, the 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.

By late 2010, Hazard had effectively established himself as the "Chairman of the Board of Directors" of the GBYWNation federation alliance which reached lengths in causing some confusion between the two GBYWN's (the alliance and the forum). Rad sanctioned over 30 GBYWN championships across the Nation, and while a wildly fun idea in theory, became a hindrance abroad as many titles lacked in defenses and overall prestige in the eye of it's followers. Cam was unaware of these changes as he had taken a brief hiatus from which, upon his return, disapproved of. When negotiations were brought to a deadlock between the President & Chairman, both parties agreed to once again utilize two alliances with Cam reactivating the GBYWNews brand while Rad continued his GBYWNation brand under a new name, the Global Backyard Wrestling Alliance (GBYWA), in order to differentiate the brand's initials from one another.
