'''NWF Kids Pro Wrestling''' or '''National Wrestling Federation: Kids Pro Wrestling''' was an independent professional wrestling promotion founded and owned in 1984 by Shawn Crossen. NWF was ambiguously and loosely connected to the form of [[backyard wrestling]] due to its early occurrence in a basement, one of various places so-called "backyard wrestling" occurs. In a remarkable story told in documentary ''NWF Kids Pro Wrestling: The Untold Story'', the league transitioned into a local professional wrestling promotion showcasing rather kids who performed professional wrestling in front of hundreds of paid spectators while receiving viewership from nationwide cable audiences, vastly differentiating from typical backyard wrestling seen today in its professional aspect and organization. It lasted from 1984 to 1989.
