In 1996 the formation of Freestyle World Wrestling was a breath of fresh air to the Rockford region.
Basing all shows in the area not only built a cult following, it also boosted tourism for the area.
Eventually FWW split into 2 companies, the 2nd company being Extremely Violent Wrestling.
With their newfound freedom EVW stripped away all limits by incorporating
glass, tacks, nails, bared wire, fire and many other weapons.
The intoduction of the Weapons Pit made many weapons readily available at all times.
EVW pushed the boundaries with matches like
the Architecture of Aggression structure
or the 9 hour match between Nujak and Jerry Lawler.
Quickly becoming the number one wrestling attraction in the Rockford region,
EVW outlasted the competition and are preparing to celebrate their 30 year anniversary in 2026.
With their largest roster ever, EVW looks forward to many more years of extreme action.
