Steve and Ross Wrestling (SnR) also known as Steve N Ross Wrestling or SnR Wrestling, was a backyard wrestling internet-based promotion formed by Steve Weezy and Rosstaman who were known to pull double duty as founders and performers of the Northwestern federation. SnR allegedly began in 2003 but initially began wide-spreading in 2006 under the imitation of stars in World Wrestling Entertainment. In 2007, they officially became an original backyard wrestling federation, appealing to several youths, pre-teens and adolescent fans via YouTube.
The federation was based in Lancaster, Wisconsin with a P.O Box Address to support the production line of DVD sales and merchandise. After broadcasting their final event in November, Last Stand in which was a LIVE Free Per View aired on Justin.tv, SnR publicly announced on YouTube that the promotion was due to return for a one last show in the Spring of 2009 while promoting a match between Rosstaman and Steve Weezy.
However, SnR has already auctioned off all SnR superstar clothing, merchandise and equipment, appearing to indefinitely be folded after claims that YouTube removed all videos for copyright matters as they've pursued music careers on independent label, SnR Entertainment.

History
Steve and Ross Wrestling was said to undergo deep structuring and promoting to get kick-started as a Wisconsin-based internet promotion, which under the words of Rosstaman, initially began in 2003 much in childhood period. In 2006, SnR would spread virtually, first considering to banner under Backyard World Wrestling Entertainment and various other names prior to the mutual decision by co-owners Steve Weezy and Rosstaman labelled the federation after themselves as Steve and Ross Wrestling.
June 2006, co-owner Steve Weezy travelled abroad to visit his father in California, meanwhile co-owner Rosstaman constructed a trampoline-ring with the assist of his long-time friend, Jeff, which in its completion was presented via YouTube for the internet visionary of Weezy, allegedly averaging 1,000 views in a week's time, marking the ignition of the establishment. When Weezy returned to Wisconsin in late July, both co-owners organized SnR and started off as a product imitation of World Wrestling Entertainment, molding themselves after their favorite superstars but incorporating their own storylines all to create SnR: WWE holding shows using WWE's popular flagship broadcast name after their initials, SnR: RAW, consequently gaining numerous viewership.
They would follow through acting out as WWE performers until April 2007 that proved beneficial to their fanbase and popularity before SnR opted to launch their own original product. The original SnR took form when SnR refreshed their image and soon acquired a full gimmick roster of created characters. They promoted as SnR Wrestling (which was approved in a poll by fans when SnR considered a change) with their sole internet broadcast uploaded weekly in the summer, SnR Meltdown.
The online promotion carried on throughout its first season and into its second when the ultimate question stumbled upon SnR. It was a deciding factor of preference, it was whether they should rather make the move to promote and host local shows with the exception of live internet shows or adhere to the supportive fan base that has trailed behind the federation from day one and proceed as a genuinely ran and progressing organization endorsed by the online community. SnR preferred their online fans.
The federation delivered to the fans under SnR Wrestling for two years and has earned in a portion of the SnR community to be the greatest backyard federation of all-time. While that is reckoned, for safety concerns SnR performers lack the display of adept wrestling prowess and physicality wrestling on a soft surface, but compensates presentation-wise with a pro-organized backyard wrestling set-up, a bounceless trampoline ring and few characters to entertain.
Historically, SnR has accomplished themselves as the inaugural backyard wrestling promotion in the world to produce "live" weekly-new Meltdown broadcasts online while having full seasons in inclusion; and first backyard federation in the world to host a live successful pay-per-view and package them to the production line. In their self-respects and notability, the promotion has succeeded financially and intercontinentally on an entertainment level and has been able to reduce the risk of high injury and prevent mutual affliction to themselves by vastly lessening their strike-and-lift physicality.
They strive to make the fans content and entertained, hosting on several social video sharing sites, well-promoting the federation. They are highly appreciative of their fans for the length of which they have thrived and succeeded, having recently finished concluding their second season after what was enlightened to be their last following the events of the Last Stand Free Per View. In Spring of 2009, SnR Wrestling will return for another season as indicated by an SnR YouTube production promo and in the return will host Steve Weezy and Rosstaman in a one-on-one match.
