XBW Wrestling
From Bywpedia
XBW Wrestling (XBW) formerly known as Xtreme Backyard Wrestling that confused fans with the contradicting fashion of the federation's first name and the product, is a well-known American backyard wrestling group of friends based in Maryland that had been established by Nemesis in the fall of 1999. While its events originally occured on ground prior to trampoline and now permanently mattress, it progresses on a series of season episodes composed of regular shows and Supercards and has succeeded to Season 5, their scheduled final season. XBW has been variously owned by wrestlers in storyline such as War, Jesse James and latest, Deathwarrent. But factually, XBW is not particularly owned by anyone and instead has been a collaborative effort since it had been turned into a backyard wrestling tribute promotion to fallen leader Nemesis, who is the genuine real-life brother of Deathwarrent in which died in a bicycle accident on March 28, 2001.

Federation history
Season 1: 1999-2001
Youth period
XBW Wrestling (known once as Xtreme Backyard Wrestling) debuted in Maryland in the fall of 1999 and was created by Nemesis. It incepted with the likes of young boys that imitated professional wrestling during its boom period that is more notoriously recognized as "The Attitude Era". As by this time the craze of backyard wrestling was at an all-time high and of a vigorous violent nature, XBW differed from it, adapting a style that was anything but wreckless however definitely entertaining. The federation hosted their first offline show in the backyard that was Inferno. Episodes were not posted online during this season.

XBW Decline
A drastic plummet in the XBW fan base happened consequently when XBW Wrestling experienced a devastating slouch in progress by the near end of Season 4 (2007-2008) which moved fans away from the product when episodes were untimely despite the management giving a specific week of the upload and were extremely slow in the works of editing and being hosted online that disappointed fans. The announcement in Season 4 that Season 5 would officially become the series finale was another contributing factor that ensued a departure of many fans and forum members, not to mention the fact that the season would not entirely finish or conclude as envisioned by many because of real-life conflict.
Within all the seasons, however, XBW has slowed their rate of progress down due to personal issues within the group unseen backstage and personal life business and proceed to inevitably milk the anticipation on the forum boards of an upcoming episode until it is completed. Moreover, as XBW wrestlers (who some are staff as well) have actual lives outside of the hobby they find delectable, they laboriously dedicate their time and efforts to ensure that in the end, the fans are contented with worth-waiting visionary showcases.
