Horizon Wrestling League is a fictional wrestling promotion run with the help of the TNM-7 wrestling simulator and created by TJ Baker. The HWL has no affiliation with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Total Nonstop Action (TNA) or Ring of Honor (ROH). All characters used are real, but storylines/angles are all fictional and created by the owner. The latest card was April 25, 2010 (in TNM time).
History
Beginning
In January 2009, Randal Baker - a southeastern billionare - struck a deal with the owners of the three major wrestling promotions in the United States: Vince McMahon of WWE; Dixie Carter of TNA; and Cary Silkin of ROH. For a substantial sum of money, Baker was given the rights to sign any number of wrestlers, referees and other talent that he found necessary. Baker struck deals with a number of talent, and announced that the HWL would broadcast it's first show - on the G4 Network - that summer.
