HWF
HWF stands for: Hardcore Wrestling Federation.
The creators of HWF are Shelton Golden and Mark Smith.
HWF takes place on a trampoline. (for the most part)
Which later gets dubbed the "Tramp-o-Ring"
When we first began HWF, it was all choreographed.We had a notebook laying next to the Tramp-o-ring, and on this notebook we had the moves that we would do, and who will do them. For example; If you watch the first match ever, you will see us looking over the edge of the tramp-o-ring. We didn't do it much, but we did. The reason we could look at the notebook not very often is; before the first match, and others that we may have choreographed, we practiced what we must do. We tried to memorise all of it... But, this was too hard, so we ended looking at the notebook every so often.
The above was pretty much a failure. We ended up just making the matches up as we went... This made the matches much better. At the time, it was just Shelton and Mark wrestling. And before we knew it, one of our friends, Matt wanted to join HWF. Our empire was growing.
As time passed, Mark, Matt and myself (Shelton) got better at wrestling, so therefore, the matches got better. Then one day Mark had the great idea of using weapons in our matches. Enter the weapons... If I remember correctly, the first weapon we ever used was the top of a long cardboard box. Then we had the idea of having "tables" (large cardboard boxes set up on two chairs). This invention revoloutionized the HWF forever.
Once again, more time passed. Now we are good wrestlers. We are getting more daring around this time, exspecially Mark. This was his time. He was the elite. At this time we where jumping off of "the roof" (you'll know when you see it), having more advanced weapons, more advanced tables, and most importantly... The ladder. The ladder is the key for many matches. Such as the TLC (tables, ladders, chairs), hardcore, ladder table, and a few more. This is about the time where HWF was growing the most.
Then, BAM!!!
It stopped...
For some reason HWF was shrinking instead of growing. We lost about a third of our wrestlers. There was a spot of no matches for about three months. Some think it was because we where getting older, others, like me, think it was just a stage in HWF. A stage of darkness.
One day... Mark and I decided to wrestle. For no reason. Not on camera, not on tape, not for others to see. Just for the hell of it. At that moment in time, the greatest and most hardcore era of HWF began.
The New HWF...
is what we called it. This is the favorate era of all the wrestlers and all of the viewers. In this era many new idea popped up, most of them being succsessful. Such as, the metal trashcan, the wooden table, nails, barbed wire, and the gate. But, these weapons don't have much to do with the succsess. It was the wrestlers behind (and in front) of them that mattered. The weapons just gave us more to work with.
The new HWF lasted for about a half a year, then the HWF died. Everyone was too busy to wrestle anymore. And many of the wrestlers where moving to other places (like myself).
So, sadly... The HWF is dead.
For now...
