[edit] History

Originally known as "Nu-Wrestling", the company was first used to round up the best of wrestling within Italy. In 2005, however, American wrestling star Kishi redeveloped it into an actual independent promotion, using his connections to bring in top name American workers. NWE would also be known for using many workers from the British wrestling circuit, who compete on regular tours with NWE.

Kishi would compete during early shows for the promotion before later being involved in an angle with Scott Steiner and Vampiro that saw Kishi suffer a storyline concussion that kept him out of in-ring competition, allowing him to concentrate on the backstage workings of the company. After this, Kishi's character was used as an on-screen commissioner only.

NWE aired its own television series, NWE Destiny, on La7 Sport, and more recently Odeon TV as well as internationally via the United Kingdom based satellite channel TWC Fight!, now known as The Fight Network. NWE programming can also be seen on French channel Direct 8. Italian commentary for the show would be performed by a historical voice of wrestling in Italy, Dan Peterson, while the English commentary was done by American wrestling columnist Bill Apter.
