## Resource

After WCW closed up shop, there was a void in wrestling, Chris stumbled up a pre-TNA federation that tried to fill that void: XWF. It was a wrestling promotion that couldn't get a TV deal, did a bunch of house shows, had plenty of titles no one won during tapings, and included names like Hulk Hogan, The Nasty Boys, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and more.
