History

In the summer of 2005, Bsnow, Calib Hoffman, and Troy Slone started running a federation they called Xtreme Hardcore Wrestling (XHW) in a no man's land area in Mount Gilead, Ohio. Lots of matches were recorded that included its wrestlers such as Xwire, Hagard, Jason Sterline, Chris Chillic, and Xcalliber. For a few months in 2006, an intermission period was taken to revamp the federation. In July 2007, the federation rebirthed as Candlewood BackYard Wrestling. Bsnow still on board, was joined by other wrestlers Khatonic, J Kelly, and Bigon.

At CBYW 8 in September, Bsnow defeated Khatonic in a 2 Out of 3 Falls match to become the first CBYW Champion. A week later, Bsnow also beat Khatonic in a Bandana vs. Title match forcing Khatonic to partner with Bsnow leading to the formation of one of the standard tag teams seen in CBYW known as Elite. By January of 2008, weekly show CBYW Avenged began being broadcasted. Throughout the next months, Livewire, Ice Joker, Alex Woggle, Yeti, Tony Sheets, DC Doom, Skeletor, The Bouncer, and Justin Beach joined the roster.

In September 2008, CBYW was compelled to shutter following repettively pressure from local officials in the city. However, the federation returned in October temporarily based in Johnsonville, Ohio until November after finding a beach house to host events in Mt. Gilead.
