History

Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE) was founded by Jordan Schneider in 2011, with the concept of all family wrestling.[1] On October 5, 2012, FWE held their first iPPV.[2] In October 2013, FWE held the Openweight Prix Tournament, which was won by Tony Nese. However, the promotion entered into hiatus until 2014.[3]

On February 7, 2015, FWE held the No Limits iPPV.[4] It was on this card that the Insane Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Championship was renamed the ICW World Heavyweight Championship[5][6] due to Drew Galloway successfully retaining against Matt Hardy,[7] which was the first defence of this Scottish title in the USA.[8]

On March 31, 2015, FWE announced the cancellation of their April events.[9] The promotion has not held an event since March 11, 2015.
