Xtreme Wrestling Alliance (XWA) is an international professional wrestling promotion founded by British professional wrestling booker and entrepreneur Gregor Magnum and a partner in October of 2005. The partner would split up with and sell his shares to Allen a year later. The current majority share owner in XWA is Allen. The company, which trades as XWA Wrestling, CORP., operates out of an area that has come to being known as XWAville, with shows being held at a different country each month as part of XWA's global image.
Upon its formation, XWA proved to being one of the main wrestling promotions on the planet, with the company's World Title regarded as one of the most prestigious championships in wrestling history. In later years, XWA would develop the Cruiserweight, Xtreme, Pure, and Tag Team titles as well. Currently, the Tag Team Titles are vacated, with the Xtreme Title being re-activated at the Supremacy PPV on March 9th, 2008 and the Pure Title being re-activated at Gateway To Glory III PPV on May 18th 2008.
Later that year, XWA gained acquisition of COMBAT, a Canada-based wrestling promotion that gained fame as a result of XWA Superstar Genesius Annaya being its initial COMBAT World Heavyweight Champion. Currently, XWA promotes under 2 brands: Collision and the newly acquired Combat

[edit] Unique features
[edit] The "X" In Xtreme
XWA prides itself in providing it's fans with a unique alternative to other wrestling promotions. XWA is uncensored & seemingly unscripted. Also, it came to become known as the most unpredictable show ever. In the past 2 years we've seen wrestlers carried away in ambulances, wrestlers set on fire, hellacious title matches, great comedy, lovely divas & to top it all - technical, pure wrestling. This mix of styles really got everybody's attention and XWA wrestlers became some of the highest-regarded athletes in sports-entertainment.
[edit] Championships
XWA introduced the XWA World Title soon after it's inception, and the first wrestler to carry the belt was then-XWA wrestler Damien Diablo. Currently, the title was one of the only 2 active titles in the company. Later, XWA introduced the XWA Cruiserweight Title, the XWA Xtreme and Pure Titles, and the XWA Tag Team Titles. The first ever Cruiserweight champion was then-XWA wrestler Charly. The first ever Xtreme Champion was Sparx, who still wrestles weekly on Collision to this day. The first ever Pure Champion was then-XWA wrestler and former Zenith member James Harrier, and the first ever Tag Team Champions was then-XWA stable The Outbreak.
With the introduction of COMBAT as a 2nd brand, a new World Title arrived to XWA in the Combat World Heavyweight Title as well as a mid-card title previously called the Combat Openweight Title (now promoted as the XWA Pure Title).
