History
Kids Championship Wrestling
Kids Championship Wrestling was founded by Chris Castle, who was then known a Streetfighter, in 2003 in the state of Anderson, Indiana. The federation, however, commenced to embark on a more serious, storyline-driven run and officially became publically seen on the web in 2007. KCW's wrestling festivities, were in the beginning years, hosted on a trampoline and the federation usually implemented fireworks to add to the flair of their events. Their weekly episodic tapings took form with their show called KCW Xplosion that typically preceded free per views like most organized backyard federations. Together, the entire group of whom were friends wrestled attracting a cult following online featuring full taped and edited wrestling events prepared by Chris Castle.

Indiana Championship Wrestling
In May 2008, Kids Championship Wrestling was renamed to Indiana Championship Wrestling which was referenced as their "new era". They joined the Global Backyard Wrestling News community that same year, and eventually formed working relationships with other federations that had been integrated. By June 2009, ICW invested in a base to replace their trampoline debuting it on June 13 at their first two-day supershow, ICW This is Our House, which took the place of Unleashed event.
ICW started to host to and attend other backyard wrestling supershows such as BWA Global Domination, X2X Wrestlegasm, ICW Midwest Extravaganza and ICW It's Bsnowing Because of Khatonic and entered in on the interfederation supershow alliance, REVIVAL.
On the December 9, 2010 edition of Backyard Wrestling Weekly, ICW was inducted into Global Backyard Wrestling Nation.
Demise of ICW
By 2010, ICW encountered problems with their wrestling base due to its dilapidation and decided to return to the trampoline for an interim time. However, Bonecrusher made the ultimate choice to discharge it out of his hosting backyard consequently leaving the federation stuck without an area to carry out its events. At the CCW Welcome to the Real World supershow on its second day, March 21, 2010, Chris Castle and ICW World Heavyweight Champion Devin Bliss came to a mutual consensus to close down the federation and made the announcement legitimately on camera with Bliss putting the ICW Title on Castle.
The Reintroduction
On May 9, 2010, a video was posted on the ICW website, announcing the return of Indiana Championship Wrestling. On May 15, 2010, ICW made it's return with ICW Xplosion. ICW continued to make their run as the "New ICW" until the July 11, 2010 edition of Xplosion when ICW once again ended.
Second Return
On May 23, 2011 a video was posted on the ICW Website promoting a second return of ICW on May 28, 2011. On June 17th the first part of the May 28th edition/return of ICW was posted.
