Xtreme Nonstop Wrestling

Xtreme Nonstop Wrestling is an American independent professional wrestling promotion in Los Angeles owned by Rob Zicari. Zicari appeared on shows as the on-camera owner under the name Rob Black alongside his wife Lizzy Borden. The promotion focused on hardcore wrestling, and under Zicari, it had connections to the Los Angeles porn industry as real life owner of Extreme Associates. Every year, XNW held an annual deathmatch tournament called Nonstop Action in Blood.

Early beginnings (1999-2002)
XNW started as Xtreme Combat Wrestling from 1999 to 2002, XCW (now XNW)'s first show was held on July 31, 1999. The announce team for XNW consisted of Kris Kloss and Larry Rivera, with Kloss doing the play-by-play and Rivera taking on the role as a heel color commentator. Kloss's trademark was screaming expletives or shrieking a high pitched scream when something shocking occurred in a match, typically ruining the effect of the high spot. Rivera often sided with Rob Black, and his trademark announcing consisted of referring to Kloss as "chico", using "chico" in nearly all of his sentences.

Feud with Violent Championship Wrestling (2003)
In 2003, in a VCW November to Remember PPV, Paul Heyman never expected that a invasion will happen in the front row of the show, Before the 3rd match of the PPV starts, the XNW members started to show off by jumping on the barricade, making a name for themselves. According to Paul Heyman - "I have never expected a invasion will happen to my show, No promotion that has ever invaded my company until XNW invaded.", Heyman did not sue XNW than just ignoring it.
