Full Throttle Wrestling Full Throttle Wrestling is an American wrestling federation that was re - established in 2007 . The federation is best known for its incredible talent , fantastic staff , and 5 - star quality wrestling matches . = History = Full Throttle Wrestling began in 2007 with a fresh roster and many famous faces . The federation folded and it ' s library and rights were sold to Worldwide Wrestling Society . WWS went out of business and FTW bought back the rights to what was rightfully theirs to begin with . Full Throttle Wrestling was re - established in 2008 and had its return FTW Outbreak show on May 9 , 2008 . Every championship ' s history for the federation was erased and the federation was reborn in a new light . Since then it has gone on to crown a champion in every division and prove itself to be more efficient and powerful than ever before . = Version One : Establishment and Early Days . = During a time of stagnancy in the professional wrestling world , fans clamored for an alternative to the boring mainstream product being shoved down their throats . They wanted a company that could entertain thoroughly while introducing them to a new generation of stars that would usher in a new era in the industry . Successful venture capitalist and wrestling enthusiast , Chad Jamison , decided to take a leap of faith and invested significant time and money into a new wrestling promotion . Serving as a consultant for the recently defunct Fanatics Wrestling Federation , Jamison had amassed a significant amount of knowledge in what was needed to run a successful wrestling promotion . He decided to go forth and give the fans what they wanted . He decided to play on the popular initials " FTW " which commonly meant " for the win " . At the same time , he wanted to create a product that was in your face , offering non - stop action that put viewers on the edges of their seats with a combination of interesting storylines and drama that would captivate them . Suddenly , the concept of " Full Throttle " came to mind and FTW was born . Knowing that fans were growing tired of old names and established stars , Jamison took a chance on complete unknowns and plucked them off the independent circuit . He wanted stars that were passionate and skilled who he knew could help grow his business . FTW opened its doors with very little pomp and circumstance . Shows were being run out of a single , small venue on a weekly basis . Although FTW was small at the time , word had quickly spread about this little organization for it ' s awe - inspiring action and amazing stars . It didn ' t take long for FTW to gather a cult - following . Loyal fans filled into the small venue every week to see the warriors of Full Throttle Wrestling battle it out . Suddenly , names like Brandon Banks and Nick Corvo were becoming common . What helped to put FTW on the map was the formation of the Manifest Destiny faction featuring Ravi Moon as the leader , Billy Jackson and Joseph Rios as proteges , and Gabriella as a manager . With evenly distributed talent levels throughout the roster , the company was impressive from top - to - bottom . Unfortunately , Jamison found himself over - extended and occupied by other business interests . That eventually took its toll as the promotion folded due to lack of attention from Jamison . = Version 2 : Building A Legacy . = Even several months after the promotion ' s demise , after cultivating such a strong fan base , the fans and talent wanted to see FTW back in business again . Wrestlers who worked for the company either went back to the indy circuit or worked for other companies . Either way , they didn ' t feel fulfilled . FTW standout , Brandon Banks , took it upon himself to reach out to Chad Jamison yet again to try and revive the promotion . With the backing of fans and able - bodied roster , The Killah B managed to convince Jamison to give it another shot . With other investments proving to be quite lucrative for him , Chad Jamison had more disposable income to re - invest into the company . Now , instead of being run out of a single venue , FTW had grown to become a formidable regional promotion . The loyalty to FTW became infectious as the promotion spread throughout the Northeast and began pay - per - view offerings . It didn ' t take long for the scope of FTW to expand rapidly . A combination of FTW Originals and new talent being signed to the company offered an interesting mix and intriguing dynamics . The arrival of talents such as Nick Malone and Ryan Matthews were certainly big acquisitions for the federation . Also , unique ideas in regards to way the promotion was being run was revolutionizing the industry and grabbing attention from all corners of the entertainment world . The introduction of the Inferno and Shockwave division philosophies featuring different styles created a healthy debate in the industry of technical skills vs . aerial attacks . Both divisions were built by formidable champions in Brandon Banks and Code , respectively . Also , the organization flourished under the legendary FTW World Championship run of Ravi Moon protege , Billy Jackson . A feud between Jackson and industry standout Sam Horrey pushed the promotion to a new level . But the introduction of its flagship event , Divine Destiny , featuring Billy Jackson taking on his mentor and Manifest Destiny teammate , Ravi Moon had really shown that FTW had arrived . Still , rapid expansion seemingly backfired on FTW . Problems with talent began to arise which led to issues backstage and the exodus of some major stars . Eventually , Jamison became tired of the politics and decided to have the promotion shut down , yet again . = Version 3 : The Phoenix Rises Again ! = In life , one finds out that men are subject to many different extraneous forces . After the second demise of Full Throttle Wrestling , that saying certainly rang true for Chad Jamison . The founder of FTW saw his fortune dwindle right before his eyes . His investments tumbled , his assets possessed , and his spirit was broken . He was a shell of his former self . The only thing that kept Jamison going was the legions of fans who still stayed loyal to FTW despite it ' s disappearance from the wrestling scene . All their kind words and encouragement kept him trucking along . Despite Jamison ' s susceptibility as a man though , the ideas that he spawned from his mind were pure . One of his ideas of course was FTW and it refused to die . A group of investors certainly recognized that fact and reached out to Mr . Jamison . They offered to buy all FTW trademarks and copyrights from him and relaunch the federation with their financial backing . Even with no other options for CJ , he felt that this opportunity to breathe new life into his greatest creation was destiny . He took the offer and ran with it . The investment group formed the Board of Directors and made Jamison their top executive . After effectively putting Jamison back on his feet , the Board gave him complete creative control with a steady salary . With no other distractions , the founder of FTW was determined to resurrect the phoenix and ascend to the greatest heights of the professional wrestling world . As such he recruited Ravi Moon to be FTW ' s Enforcer to make sure the problems that plagued the company ' s second run wouldn ' t happen again . From there , the two friends rebuilt the organization yet again . Former stars flocked back to sign contracts with FTW and brought more talent with them . Within a day or two of announcing it ' s return , FTW was nearly at full strength ! It was a testament to the greatness that FTW had achieved during its previous two runs . And now , everyone was out to make sure that the third time would be the charm . The roster was united in restoring FTW to its former glory and did a pretty damn good job . With significant financial backing , FTW was able to expand to a national promotion . An ambitious touring schedule planned to take the company to all 50 states in the union . Already a well - respected name in the industry , now fans from all around the country could finally find out about the legend of FTW first hand with live shows . Despite a rocky first few months marred by instability and fleeting stars , the company weathered the storm and became stronger because of it . There was no way that it was going down this time . On the backs of veterans like Brandon Banks , Ryan Matthews , Nick Malone , James Magnum , and Sam Horrey , FTW reached a whole new level . And true stability at the top of the organization came when a star who started out as a manager at the very beginning of the company , Gabriella , had come full circle when she captured the promotion ' s World Championship . But the veterans weren ' t the only ones responsible for helping to re - invent FTW . There were stars like William Haze , Harmony , Lynch , Bobby Heart , and Mason Douglas who gave FTW a new and unique feeling that only emboldened an already die - hard fan base . FTW managed to recapture it ' s old essence by resurrecting the competitive dynamic between the Inferno and Shockwave divisions . It also expanded to include a new Octane division considered to be the grooming grounds for stars before moving up the ladder . The main event scene had become the strongest it ' s been in years . And with such speedy expansion , so many stars were signing with the company making Outbreak too small to fit everyone . FTW introduced a new weekly episode , Rampage , to meet the demands of its rapidly growing roster . Now , in its third and longest run , FTW is showing no signs of stopping . Or even slowing down ! With plans for international expansion and so many potential to be tapped , there are still many chapters to be written for this amazing wrestling company . = Championship History = = Roster = Wrestlers .
