[[IWE]] is a professional wrestling promotion based in [[Stamford, Connecticut|Stamford]], [[Connecticut]]. IWE personnel consists of [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestlers]], [[Manager (professional wrestling)|managers]], [[Sports Commentator|play-by-play]] and [[Color Commentator|color commentator]]s, [[Ring Announcer|ring announcer]]s, [[Interview|interview]]ers, [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referees]], [[Athletic Trainer|trainers]], [[Road Agent (professional wrestling)|producers]], [[Professional wrestling booker|script writers]], and various other positions. [[Professional wrestling authority figures|Executives]] and [[Board of Directors|board]] members are also listed.
-
Employees and management are organized by role within the promotion. The ring name of the employee is written on the left, while the employee's real name is on the right. If a wrestler is inactive for any reason, due to injury, suspension, not wrestling in 30 days or otherwise, that information is noted.
+
IWE contracts typically range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals. IWE describes most personnel as "[[Independent Contractor|independent contractor]]s." Since the reintroduction of IWE's [[IWE Brand Extension|brand extension]] in 2016, main roster personnel are assigned to one of three primary brands – [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]], [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]], and [[NXT (IWE brand)|NXT]]. Some wrestlers may be assigned to a specialty brand under the NXT banner - these brands include [[205 Live (IWE brand)|205 Live]], which is for male wrestlers 205 lbs. and under (designated by IWE as cruiserweights), and [[NXT UK (IWE brand)|NXT UK]], which is for wrestlers based in the [[United Kingdom]]. While the five brands have [[List of current champions in IWE|their own distinct championships]], the [[IWE 24/7 Championship]], [[NXT Cruiserweight Championship]], and [[IWE Women's Tag Team Championship]] are shared among various brands.
-
Employees are generally assigned to a specific brand—either Raw or SmackDown—though there is occasionally some crossover.  The [[IWE Tag Team Championship|IWE Tag Team Champions]] and the [[IWE Divas Championship|IWE Divas Champion]] can regularly appear on both Raw and SmackDown as those titles (due to being unified) can be defended on either show.
+
Main roster personnel primarily appear on ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'', ''[[IWE SmackDown|Friday Night SmackDown]]'', and ''[[IWE NXT|NXT]]'', while cruiserweight wrestlers appear on ''[[IWE 205 Live|205 Live]]'' and wrestlers from NXT UK appear on their own [[NXT UK|weekly show]], respectively. Personnel may also appear on [[List of IWE television programming#Current television programming|IWE's other weekly television programming]], as well as [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|pay-per-views]], and on [[House Show|untelevised live events]].
-
IWE Legends are employees/performers not assigned to any particular brand, but make periodic appearances and perform on major shows or are currently involved in a storyline.
+
Personnel in IWE's [[Farm Yeam#Professional wrestling|developmental system]] are assigned to train at the [[IWE Performance Center#United States|Performance Center]] in [[Orlando, Florida]]. UK-based developmental wrestlers train at the [[IWE Performance Center#United Kingdom|UK Performance Center]] in [[London]], [[England]].
-
IWE refers to its male performers as "Superstars" and its female performers as "[[IWE Diva|Divas]]". The term "Superstars" is also occasionally used to refer to all IWE performers, regardless of gender. The male wrestlers of the show ''[[IWE NXT]]'' are called "Rookies"
+
IWE also has partnerships with some of Europe's independent wrestling promotions ([[Scotland|Scotland's]] [[Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW)|Insane Championship Wrestling]] (ICW), [[England|England's]] [[Progress Wrestling]], and [[Germany|Germany's]] [[Westside Xtreme Wrestling]] (wXw)). Wrestlers from those groups may also make periodic appearances at IWE events and on IWE programming.

Current revision as of 21:23, 28 March 2024

File:IWE Logo.svg

IWE is a professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut. IWE personnel consists of professional wrestlers, managers, play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcers, interviewers, referees, trainers, producers, script writers, and various other positions. Executives and board members are also listed.

IWE contracts typically range from developmental contracts to multi-year deals. IWE describes most personnel as "independent contractors." Since the reintroduction of IWE's brand extension in 2016, main roster personnel are assigned to one of three primary brands – Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Some wrestlers may be assigned to a specialty brand under the NXT banner - these brands include 205 Live, which is for male wrestlers 205 lbs. and under (designated by IWE as cruiserweights), and NXT UK, which is for wrestlers based in the United Kingdom. While the five brands have their own distinct championships, the IWE 24/7 Championship, NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and IWE Women's Tag Team Championship are shared among various brands.

Main roster personnel primarily appear on Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and NXT, while cruiserweight wrestlers appear on 205 Live and wrestlers from NXT UK appear on their own weekly show, respectively. Personnel may also appear on IWE's other weekly television programming, as well as pay-per-views, and on untelevised live events.

Personnel in IWE's developmental system are assigned to train at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. UK-based developmental wrestlers train at the UK Performance Center in London, England.

IWE also has partnerships with some of Europe's independent wrestling promotions (Scotland's Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), England's Progress Wrestling, and Germany's Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw)). Wrestlers from those groups may also make periodic appearances at IWE events and on IWE programming.
