History
Federation origins
Five founders in Chris Cryptic, Curt Unearth, Michael Diablo, Blair Vertigo and Underminer had formed the In Your House Wrestling Alliance federation in October 2005, following their inspiration from Australian federation, Hunter Valley Wrestling Alliance believed to have paved the way for them after engaging in several of their shows.
IYHWA began producing video compilations online in April 2006, their first one entitled "Backyard Wrestling" from their earlier offline lucha libre exploits in a ring. This triggered a vast onset of fans and became a widely popular video across YouTube influencing the support and emulation of thousands. Taking in the success, IYHWA was able to create a sophiscated website and held supercards such as Dawn of the Immortals, Seven Deadly Sins, Damnation, Destiny's Challenge, Nightfire, and Rise to the Throne which were along some of their top viewed events. Also, a short-lived home federation called Upstairs Wrestling Federation was created. Thereafter, IYHWA members gradually developed their talent.
In 2007, the federation reached an abrupt premature end due to backstage politics and issues overcoming settlement consequently believing to have plunged Australian backyard wrestling shortly after, referencing closure of top federations in the Australian circuit.
Revival as IYHWA V2
Discontent with the plummet of the Australian backyard wrestling circuit, the concept of IYHWA V2 was birthed out of the dire need to revive it. Fans calls for a resurrection were heard as interest recirculated proceded by the announcement of a return in 2008 for the event, Withdrawal Symptoms.
