IWE Superstars is a professional wrestling television program produced by IWE that originally aired on WGN America in the United States and is broadcast on the IWE Network. It debuted on April 16, 2009 and ended its domestic broadcasting on April 7, 2011. After the final domestic TV broadcast the show moved to an internet broadcast format while maintaining a traditional television broadcast in international markets. The show features mid-to-low card IWE superstars and divas, in a format similar to the former show IWE Heat which served the same purpose. "Enhancement talent" bouts also happen often. Big names such as Dustin Simpson, Kevin Orton and Triple K appeared on the show at its beginning.
