History
The FWA initially started out as the Fratton Wrestling Association in Portsmouth.
This promotion follows the same rules as seen in most of professional wrestling but has adopted the Yellow/Red Card system from Football (soccer), with the yellow card serving as a warning, and any red card offence resulting in disqualification. Piledrivers are banned under FWA rules and can result in a fine as well as disqualification.
On March 4, 2004, FWA announced that they had signed a five-year contract with The Wrestling Channel, making them the sole and exclusive UK based promotion to feature on the station.
Along with a new weekly Frontier Wrestling Alliance television show (FWA TV), viewers could expect FWA Unsigned, FWA home shopping, a fly-on-the-wall documentary series, and sit-down interviews.
