THE HISTORY
OF THE XWF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 11/21/2001 - 8/31/2006 X-Treme Wrestling Federation was founded in November of 2001 by Vince McMahon (Gary Shaw). It operated until September of 2006. Unfortunately, the title history was not maintained fully and many handler names and exact dates have been lost to time. This is the most accurate account of the events in XWF history located anywhere today. We include this world title history as complete and uncut as possible out of respect for the championship, the promotion, and the competitors who worked to make it what it was. |
