Draft:Lunatic Wrestling Federation

Submission declined on 24 May 2024 by JJPMaster (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

The Lunatic Wrestling Federation (LWF) was an Independent Pro Wrestling company that performed shows from 1993 to 2004. The group started as a backyard outfit in a suburb of Chicago known as Mokena Illinois. Over the course of a few years, the LWF grew to become an influential and highly attended Independent Pro Wrestling company. It is often credited as the starting place for WWE Superstar CM Punk, among many others in the local Chicago wrestling scene.

The Lunatic Wrestling Federation was best known for it's wild style, interesting storylines and ridiculous characters, which set it ahead of it's competitors at the time.

However, the LWF ceased operation in 2004.

In 2014, a book was published about the LWF, "The Mighty LWF".

There isn't a vast amount of public Lunatic Wrestling Federation footage, but occasionally clips will appear on the YouTube channel for Billy Whack. youtube/@billywhack

Some of the original wrestlers and creators of the LWF have since worked with other local promotions, and as of 2023 have started a new project called "The Superwrestlers" that runs shows in Chicago every 3 months at the Concord Music Hall. youtube.com/@superwrestlers
