2KW (formerly 2000 Wrestling) is an independent park action wrestling federation based in Manhattan, New York and founded in 1999 by Vinny Mac, Kid Krazy, and SyNN, who is in predominant ownership while it operates under management department, Divided World Entertainment. Limitedly known, 2KW has developed a significant consideration as a topflight federation with an open-circuit approach to all backyard wrestling practitioners.
The federation name was previously abridged to solely 2KW, a three-initials symbolism left to trademark the hard work and dedicated labor given towards it. Increasingly gaining new fandom, it is known for its mix of various sized performers, its focus on technical, lucha libre and riskily stunty showcases and its extreme sports-like shoot wrestling intensity usually defying the stereotypical hardcore nature of backyard wrestling.
Although 2KW Wrestling is not presented in a "backyard", it is linked ambiguously to backyard wrestling for its pre-existing popularity. 2KW has recently returned from a 5-month off-season hiatus on March 7, 2009.
