Xtreme Pro Wrestling Xtreme Pro Wrestling ( XPW ) was an independent professional wrestling promotion which was owned by Rob Zicari , who alongside his wife , Janet Romano , appeared on shows as the owner of the company under the name of Rob Black . The promotion focused on hardcore wrestling and had connections to the Los Angeles porn industry . XPW was founded in the summer of 1999 . It attempted to carve a local niche on the West Coast , particularly Los Angeles , California and its roots can be traced back to Verne Langdon ' s Slammers Wrestling Federation , which ran shows in Southern California from 1990 - 1996 and trained many of XPW ' s future wrestlers . Many consider the existence of XPW to consist of two different versions : the original West Coast version and the All - New XPW East Coast invasion . The original West Coast version was mainly based in California where controversy and X - rated content were of huge importance . The East Coast invasion featured XPW garnering some success in cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh thanks to promotional efforts on the part of Shane Douglas . The original XPW : West Coast Edition : 1999 - 2002 . XPW was a hardcore wrestling promotion that featured many violent matches , reminiscent of the Japanese death matches popularized overseas . XPW also kept a huge focus on the soap opera aspect of wrestling , as the storylines involved porn stars , alternative lifestyles , profanity , and sadistic violence . The announcing duo for XPW 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 . Kris Kloss ' trademark was an inhuman high pitched scream when something shocking occurred in a match . Larry Rivera would often side with Rob Black , and his trademark announcing consisted of referring to Kloss as " chico " , and the occasional breakdown of Spanish announcing . In this period , the promotion ' s main stars were homegrown wrestlers . Eventually , many former ECW stars passed through XPW at one point or another . From 2000 to 2002 , XPW held an annual deathmatch tournament called Baptized in Blood , which was XPW ' s version of the legendary IWA - Japan King of the Deathmatch . The main storyline for most of 2001 concerned the heel stable called The Black Army . The Black Army was run by Rob Black , assisted by his wife ( porn star Lizzy Borden ) , and feuded with Sabu . XPW was in large part responsible for catapulting Sabu back into the national spotlight after he left ECW . Before coming to XPW , Sabu had wrestled in Mexico once over the course of his 20 year career . After joining XPW in March 2000 , he started getting booked by Xtreme Latin American Wrestling every month . He had only made sporadic appearances in Canada during his 20 year career , but after joining XPW , he started wrestling for Stampede Wrestling and Border City Wrestling multiple times per month . Very shortly after joining XPW , he also started wrestling on a monthly basis in Japan ' s FMW . Towards the end of 2001 , another heel stable called the " Enterprise " emerged to feud with the " Black Army " . Originally consisting of former " Black Army " henchmen Steve Rizzono , porn star Veronica Caine and GQ Money , the stable was completed at the Damage Inc . show when Kid Kaos won the XPW television title , turned his back on his uncle , Supreme , and aligned himself with the Enterprise . After this surprise heel turn , Kid Kaos dropped the " Kid " from his name and nicknamed himself " The Rock Superstar " Kaos . At " Baptized in Blood III " in 2002 , Shane Douglas made his return to XPW as the mystery opponent of Johnny Webb , and won the XPW title . Following the match , the shocking revelation that Shane Douglas and Lizzy Borden were allies emerged , which would crush Rob Black to the point that Lizzy inherited the power of XPW . The organization would now base its operations in Philadelphia at the ECW Arena . Incident at ECW Pay - Per - View . In 2000 , Rob Black purchased six front row tickets for ECW ' s annual summer pay - per - view , " HeatWave " . The tickets for the show were given to a cadre of XPW talent , as their mission was to make it clear that ECW was on enemy ' s turf . At the beginning of the main event , the XPW contingent donned shirts emblazoned with the logo of their home company , gaining the attention of security and Tommy Dreamer . Security ejected the XPW group . A brawl in the parking lot then broke out between the XPW ring crew and the ECW locker room , but the XPW wrestlers were not involved . In the parking lot , several of the ECW wrestlers brutalized the XPW ring crew in a street fight until - according to Balls Mahoney - several of the ring crew members were left in pools of their own blood . . Initial reports claimed that Kristi Myst somehow touched Francine and that prompted the incident , but Francine herself has since gone on record as saying that she was never grabbed or in any other way touched by any of the XPW crew , and other eyewitnesses support the story that Francine never had a hand laid on her . XPW was not acknowledged on the telecast , and the XPW contingent consisted of The Messiah , Kid Kaos , Supreme , Kristi Myst , Homeless Jimmy and Kris Kloss . The All - New XPW : East Coast Invasion . XPW debuted at the ECW Arena in June 2002 at the Hostile Takeover event , and Shane Douglas was the promotion ' s focal point for the rest of the year . As XPW continued to run on the East Coast , the risque storylines that made XPW infamous were quickly phased out , and a majority of XPW ' s west coast employees were not a part of the " All - New XPW . " The relocation to the East Coast also resulted in many former ECW stars passing through XPW , whether it be on a regular basis or one - night appearances . At one point , Kris Kloss was dropped from the announcing booth and replaced with Joey Styles ; this would only last for one event , as Styles only commentated on XPW ' s " Exit Sandman " event . The End of XPW . In April 2003 , Rob Black and Lizzy Borden were indicted on obscenity charges due to pornographic material produced by XPW ' s parent company , Extreme Associates . Federal agents in Pittsburgh had ordered the offending material , which depicted scenes of rape , urination , and murder . The stress of the trial took its toll on the owners of the company , and XPW could no longer be subsidized financially . In January 2005 , the charges were dropped but on December 8 , 2005 an appeals court revived the charges . The Memory Remains . Although XPW shows no signs of ever returning again , XPW DVDs exist and are distributed by Xtreme Entertainment Group , who purchased the rights to XPW ' s video library from Rob Black in 2004 . XPW matches have been extras on several different independent wrestling DVDs , including Forever Hardcore and the Hardcore Homecoming series . XPW has also been mentioned on various wrestling events such as the first Hardcore Homecoming in June 2005 ( by Shane Douglas ) , by Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman on a June 2005 edition of " Byte This , " and in a veiled reference by Heyman in a promo on a Viking Hall show on June 24 , 2006 ( " I don ' t care what losers and wannabes and porno rejects have run here " ) . Several XPW alumni participated in the TV tapings for the new wrestling show / promotion called Wrestling Society X , which was produced by Big Vision Entertainment ( a DVD distribution company created by former XPW Vice President Kevin Kleinrock and former XPW Television announcer Kris Kloss ) . In December 2006 , Big Vision Entertainment released a 2 - disc DVD set called " After the Fall " that features some of the best matches from XPW ' s history . The 2 - disc set focuses on the debuts and " Best of . . . " matches of many ECW alumni who were a part of XPW , as well as matches that have gone previously unreleased and even unaired on television . Featured are matches from the likes of the Public Enemy , Shane Douglas , New Jack , Sabu , and Axl Rotten . Return . A second XPW reunion show called " Ten Year Anniversary Spectacular ! " took place on August 22 , 2009 . The show and official website implies a full return for XPW , as " The Real Deal " Damien Steel was named XPW Commissioner and an XPW World Championship tournament began . Supreme also defended the XPW King of the Deathmatch Title against " The Artist Formerly Known As The Hardcore Homo " Angel . Matt Cross & Scorpio Sky wrestled to a time limit draw , only to have Luke Hawx come out and challenge Matt Cross to put his XPW Tag Team Titles on the line ( despite his partner Josh Prohibition not being in attendance ) . Cross accepted , asking Sky to be his partner . However , after Scorpio agreed , Luke Hawx revealed that Sky was in fact HIS partner . Luke Hawx & Scorpio Sky defeated Matt Cross in a handicap match and walked away as the new XPW Tag Team Champions , even though there were no physical belts . MEXPW . In late 2011 it was announced by the official XPW site MEXPW and through various social media that XPW will to return under a new name ; MEXPW ( Mexican Xtreme Pro Wrestling ) , following the success of a Perros del Mal show entitled " XPW vs Perros del Mal " ; which featured numerous XPW alumni taking on the regular Perros del Mal roster . This new outfit intends to be run both shows in both Mexico and Southern California , and is owned XPW alumni Damien 666 . According to the XPW official website , the new outfit has been founded and they are looking for extra wrestlers to make the lineup . Numerous XPW alumni , such as Kaos , Supreme , Johnny Webb and Halloween appear to be attached to the project .
