History
Origination
Rad Hazard (first known as real name Daniel Baldwin), a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, had taken an interest in backyard wrestling actually having a prior history in participating in the practice. In September 2008, he began promoting his backyard wrestling community on YouTube video pages and channels and later released advertisements on Youtube promoting his community and new weekly backyard wrestling program Backyard Wrestling Weekly over two weeks leading to its premiere.
The initial beliefs from Daniel Baldwin were full of skepticism for the show as he felt insufficient interest was garnered from the ads. Backyard Wrestling Weekly debuted as a 10 minute formatted program and was a success for Hazard, taking helm of the attention of the small backyard wrestling world. Shortly, then known as Daniel Baldwin, he altered his name to a backyard wrestling name Rad Hazard and introduced segments including "Top Rope News", "Backyard Wrestling Spotlight" and "Mark Out Moment" to his show sheding news and media on talented backyard wrestling federations.
Hazard subsequently commented on his status in the third edition thanking viewers and stating that, "at the very beginning, I didn't expect anyone to watch this show. Why would they watch some random guy from Las Vegas who has no matches on YouTube". With the promotional help of Georgia Wrestling Circuit channel on YouTube, the program gained 1000 plus views a week in combination on both accounts. In November, the show shifted to a two-part program with a more cutting-edge opening sequence to the previous.
Progress delay
In November 2008, Rad Hazard discovered the existence of backyard wrestling federations in his Vegas area. His first Backyard Wrestling Weekly ad had explained that he would wrestle if there were any in his location. Soon, after announcing the formation of a Vegas backyard wrestling alliance, Battle Born Wrestling debuted and conflicted with the BWW program schedule that caused time constraints with Hazard, ending up with BWW eventually taking a back seat to an upstarting BBW.
Return of Backyard Wrestling Weekly
In February 2009, Rad Hazard addressed to the community that the Backyard Wrestling Weekly schedule was to be resumed beginning on March 1, and repremiered adapting a new 50 minute 5-part format in an office-like settings using the initial opening sequence. However, after the show shortly returned, Hazard realized how time consuming it was for the editorial process of the show and other project such as BBW. Instead of discontinuing the program, he presented the Faces of Backyard Wrestling Initiative concept to feature backyard wrestlers as new hosts during every show with the first host being Cassias Chaos.
