| + | '''Steve and Ross Wrestling''' ('''SnR''') also known as '''Steve N Ross Wrestling''' or '''SnR Wrestling''', was a [[backyard wrestling]] online-based promotion formed by [[Steve Weezy]] and [[Rosstaman]] who pulled double duty as founders and performers of the Northwestern federation. SnR allegedly began in 2003 but initially began promoting in 2006 under the imitation of stars in {{Wikipedia|World Wrestling Entertainment}}. In 2007, they officially became an original backyard wrestling federation, appealing to several youths, pre-teens and adolescent fans via {{Wikipedia|YouTube}}. | ||
