Other Wrestling

X Wrestling Federation - commonly known as XWF - was a short lived professional wrestling promotion from late 2001 to early 2002. XWF's slogan was "No more prima donnas, no more politics, in your face!". more...

They looked to promote a product that the whole family can watch and enjoy by bringing back pro-wrestling with a 21st Century spin as an alternative to sports entertainment. As such, the letter "X" in XWF stood for the missing variables from the current wrestling scene and not "Xtreme" as sometimes written.

Beginnings

The XWF assembled an impressive array of wrestlers, announcers and other wrestling related individuals. This included many major stars such as Hulk Hogan, The Road Warriors and Curt Hennig, alongside young up-and-comers like A.J. Styles, Carly Colon, Christopher Daniels and many more.

Additionally, Tony Schiavone and Jerry Lawler were the commentators, along with the talents of Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan. Rena Mero was the on-screen XWF chief executive officer, with Rowdy Roddy Piper being the XWF Commissioner. Gene Simmons of KISS, also taped vignettes with The Demon Dale Torborg.

Here, the XWF taped over ten hours worth of wrestling at Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida, of November 13 and 14, 2001. Primarily, these tapings were pilot episodes to show television executives in the hope of securing a major TV contract. The stage, lighting and overall production was considered to be of the highest quality, said to be like that of the World Wrestling Federation.
