Ultimate British Wrestling
From Bywpedia
UBW is an internet based backyard wrestling federation which was founded in 2008. It formed from the ashes of the now defunct BBW (British Backyard Wrestling) after internal arguments had caused that federation to fall apart! The group is different from most backyard feds as it tends to concentrate on in ring skill over weapon use, although the federation operates under NO DQ rules in all matches!

History
British Backyard Wrestling
The history of UBW begins in early 2008. Youtube "shooters" marcrpearson101 (Marc Pearson, also known by his in-ring name Cham Pain) and ps2peter (Peter Gethins) got into a war of words over various issues, unlike most fueds that fizzle out Marc & Peter decided to settle their differences in the ring! Marc travelled to Peters hometown of Keighley and they fought in a brutal, bloody, weapons filed match that only ended when Peter (using his in ring name of ps2peter) passed out to the pain of Pearsons ankle lock! Talks begin almost immediately about a rematch, possible even with a hair vs hair stipulation involved but nothing ever came of it.
In August 2008 Peter formed his own wrestling company, BBW. Financed by a rich uncle he began to scour the country for the best talent he could find, calling on old nemisis Marc Pearson plus other enemies James Eden, Liam Wood and another youtube "shooter" named extreme dave the first show was announced - BBW Prove It - to be held on the 30th of August 2008!
In the end James Eden no showed after allegidly getting the day of the show wrong and Liam Wood was unable to attend so the show was just two matches. In the first Extreme Dave defeated Cham Pain and ps2peter to become the first BBW champion in a truple threat match, surviving interferance from former CRCW wrestler The Mighty Queef and eventually hitting a swanton bomb on peter for the win! In the second match the long awaited Cham Pain Vs Ps2peter rematch happened, Cham Pain defeating Peter in a Last Man Standing match to become the number 1 contender for Daves new BBW Championship!
Prove It drew over 14,000 views on YouTube, prompting BBW to put on a second show a month later. Held in Hanley Park in Stoke On Trent BBW Retribution saw newcomers Jonny Magnum and Liam Styles put on a technical masterclass, threatening to steal the show in the process! Then Magnum took on ps2peter in a weapons filled number 1 contender match, peter getting the win after an F5. In the main event Cham Pain put the CRCW championship on the line against BBW champion Extreme Dave. Although CRCW had gone under almost 2 years before, Cham Pain still proudly carried the CRCW championship and the match was contested as a title unification match. Both men gave it there all but an acid drop by Dave through a table got him the win and the unified championships!
