About

    Welcome to the "About the AWF" section, by clicking here you must be interested in our history ( if u want news click news!) So here I go on a journey of describing our Amateur Wrestling Federation the best i can without using images or videos.


    There is an profound, complicated, bizarre and extensive history about the AWF behind all the hardcore fighting and mayhem. So here you are still reading this stuff ( you must be interested ) so it is about time for me to stop stalling and get the complete and somewhat complicated story of how the AWF came to be...

    The birth of the AWF was not too long ago, in fact it was about somewhere in late 2001, but there was something that led to the birth of the Amateur Wrestling Federation and that is the pre wrestling league we so lovingly called RWL. RWL stood and still stands for Retarded Wrestling League. Although a very childish name it was a brand of amateur sports entertainment that caught the attention of both the young and old members of our community. The RWL originated when myself and a very close personal friend who is a outstanding athlete in the AWF today got thinking after viewing an electrifying segment of WWF's Smackdown. After seeing the Undertaker last ride Spike Dudley though two tables we got the an intense urge to rough each other up. So following up on this urge we put on our shoes and ran up to a neighbors house and jumped on his trampoline and started flinging each other around.

    We took a strong interest in the art of wrestling, and a few broken teeth, bloodied nose's and intense bruises later the Retarded Wrestling League was born. My best friend and I practiced every day after school in a quest to be superior wrestlers. Eventually when other people saw our rapidly growing talent they gathered around the trampoline to watch. Not to many of our fans were willing to step onto the bouncy surface with us... except one. That is correct, originally the RWL consisted of three wrestlers, but just before we made the transformation to the AWF the RWL recruited young prospects and intensely trained them. Once they felt their skill and ability far surpassed that of their embarrassing battle field ( trampoline) the not so super stars of the RWL took their fighting to a new level and a far more un forgiving surface... the backyard.

    Along with the scenery change and the name of the federation changing from Retarded Wrestling League to the Amateur Wrestling Federation came the rise of young sure to be superstars. Also many big names changed in an attempt to leave our "Retarded" days behind and move forward to the new generation.

    By big names changing i mean that of *The Lost Cause* changing to * Mad Dog Madden *, another name change was that of * Devastation * changing to * Colin Van Dam * and along with that particular name change came a completely new style of fighting.

    When the RWL moved to the back yard and became the AWF the former fans gained far more interest in the AWF than they ever did on the RWL, we the superstars think the reason of that is the frequent use of steel chairs, metal sheets, ladders, tables and a far more elaborate storyline and setting. When our level of wrestling became better so did the music, costumes and wrestling ring. Much like the music and costumes ect. we became far more talented than we could have ever imagined. With the AWF continually improving our fans grow in numbers and our passion to entertain burn's hotter and brighter than ever before.
