[edit] History
[edit] Early History
In 1997, Canadian Trevor J. Derickson married Kim Blair who helped him find the funds to start a small wrestling promotion. In a matter of six months, using his wrestling knowledge and marketing skills, Derickson brought the company to national status. Derickson received major heat by stealing talent from weaker promotions with less money by using unethical business practices. In six months, Derickson had singed all the big names in the business including, The American Bulldog, Great White, Switchblade, Issac Locke, Ecko, Mr. Superstar and The Uzi Brothers. After a year, the SIW was went global after signing a huge television deal for Monday Night Brawl with TNT in the United States and TSN in Canada.
[edit] Merger
In 1998, The SIW picked up even more talent when the International Wrestling Organization filed for bankruptcy and in the progress picked up an influx on new talent including Conviction, Hardkore, Ninja and Jason Snow
[edit] More Television
Monday Night Brawl is moved to TNN now known as Spike TV. TNT picks up the new SIW program called Carnage. Later in the year, TNT picks up the new one hour explosive show called Wednesday War but is eventually dropped in a few months.
[edit] Deathrow
When three members of a highly specialized, top secret Canadian military operations group met up, they found a common bond in their passion for destruction. When the group was disbanded in late 1998, the members codenamed Death, Doc Shock and the Intoxicator found themselves unable to adapt to civilian life. The only place they could find to put their skills to use was in the violent world of professional wrestling. Making their ring debut in early 1999 for Super Internet Wrestling, the faction known as Deathrow dominated the promotion quickly. Death eventually ran Derickson out of the SIW and took over while single handedly destroying a multi million corporation in a few months.
[edit] The Return
Cyrus aka Dallas Nash started an organization to find the missing former CEO Trevor Derickson. After four years of searching, Nash found him gambling in Las Vegas and encouraged him to save his money and bring back the SIW because the people wanted what was taken away from them many years ago. Derickson puts everything he owns on the line and brings back the SIW in June 2004.
[edit] 2004-2005
The SIW rely on three very important people in Matt "Uzi" Johnson, Gary "Cyrus" Huprich and Kevin "Titan" McColl to get things back on track. In a few months, Derickson signs some of the biggest names in the business once again including Angel, The Renegade, The Uncanny Inferno, NuTz & extreme psycho Metalgod. Within a few months, the SIW becomes an American pop culture just like back in the day. The first year back into 2005 sees a brand split, with Greg Banks taking over MNB & Titan taking over TNC, the latter bringing in the SIW Heavyweight Championship to be first held by James Airington before moving through the likes of Gavin Paybe, Matt Uzi & Angel. On Brawl however, Glenn Kirby, Ryan Johnson, Duane Doogan and even Greg Banks are the holders of the biggest prize. SIW becomes a world-wide phenomenon, watching Gavin Payne and Matt Uzi tear each other apart on Carnage and the SIW battle the UWWE on Brawl which then turned into a cross promotion war between Duane Doogan & Ian Bishop. The year ends with Grunge the headliner on Brawl and Angel top of the pile on Carnage.
[edit] UWWE Monday Night Brawl
In the Summer of 2005, Duane Doogan signed an SIW contract to compete on Monday Night Brawl, Doogan owned his own promotion UWWE and a list of graduates from Doogan's company were now SIW stars including "Incredible" Ian Bishop, ABA, Envy & Amazing Desperado. Doogan acquired the services of some of his old employees along with the likes of James Airington, Glenn Kirby, Chris Adams to name a few. After Doogan helped then MNB general manager Greg Banks gain a victory over Ryan Johnson to win the SIW Championship, Banks himself joined the self proclaimed "Mayhem" and christened the show UWWE Monday Night Brawl. Jealousy over Doogan getting all the attention and an eventual SIW Championship run, the likes of Kirby, Airington & Bishop turned on their leader with "The Mayhem" collapsing in the process. Monday Night Brawl was then returned to SIW and the invasion was over.
[edit] Women's Divison
SIW's Women's division is born and anchored by the top female wrestlers in the world. Katie Mysfit, Angelica Hunt, Latesha, Xtina, and Summer Andrews are signed to big contracts to compete for the most pretigious women's wrestling title, the SIW Women's Championship.
