The National Wrestling Council (NWC) was created by Christopher S., Marcus H., Al Lucente, Ray C., and other members of the America Online (AOL) defunct pay for play e-wrestling league known as the Cyber Sports Wrestling Association (CSWA). The founders strived to create a more open and dynamic e-fed that would be modeled after the real life National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) system of regional federations under one umbrella, each having their own champion but recognizing one set of World Champions (Singles and Tag).

The original territories of the NWC were, Motor City Wrestling (MCW), Empire State Wrestling Association (ESWA), West Coast Wrestling Association (WSWA), Canadian Championship Wrestling (CCW), Big Apple Wrestling Federation (BAWF, and Lonestar Wrestling (LSW). The NWC was presided over "in character" by Christopher S. and then retired wrestling Ken "Warrior" Nemesis as the figureheads in-character (Handled by Christopher and Marcus H.)

The first pay per-view and signature event that brought all the federations together was called "A New Era". While many people put hardwork into the NWC, the brainchild of most was Christopher S. and Lucente, Christopher working on the logistical side of the NWC, while Lucente was more creative and "people" manager of most of the federations.

The first ever NWC Champion was crowned at "A NEW ERA" and was an outside "handler" and "character" new the fold by the name of White Tiger, who was a face (good guy), whom defeated many of the established names who came over from the CSWA, "Sexy" Steve Sire, Ronny Smith, Tony Pride, Ray Pierce, Scorpatoa, Rockshade, Jon Atlas, Dread Saxon, among others.

NEWS - New England Wrestling Syndicate, Hawaii Island Wrestling, Sin City Wrestling, Loki Championship Wrestling were some of the most successful feds to come and go during the years of NWC's reign atop the efed world.

NWC even boasted of having it's own NWC Magazine at one point, created by Steve Gaines and ran by a numerous group of individual contributors from each of the independent feds.

NWC was seen by many as the first great efed and one of the pioneers of the new world wide web ewrestling phenomena that blossomed in the 90s. Often imitated but never duplicated the NWC boasted the top roster of roleplaying ewrestlers ever assembled as voted by Pro Wrestling Insiders in 2000 whose readers also voted it efed of the year in 1997 & 1999.
