I have wondered; when backyard wrestling like its known as today actually started. Like with the ring building and lightbulbs and or awesome wrestling being put on. Not just wrestling around in a backyard and calling it byw.
Like was it done in the 80's and if so what about the 70's? hmmm...
Also, what is the oldest possible footage of byw that any of u all have? I am just wondering, and bored a little... ok a lot at the time and trying to find something rather interesting to do at the moment. Until I find sumtin better.
The oldest I have seen is like early 90's and thats it.

(lee again )...
matt and jeffs fed shouldnt really count eitehr should foleys.. when BYW really picked up was in 1999 which lead to it becoming the "cool thing" to do.. it became so popualr to a series of DVDs being relesed.. and thus eventually eveolving from crazy dives and random bumps to pro wrestling on a smaller scale. (that is unless your still doing it the wrong way like jumping on a tramp, swinging random weapons etc)

There has had to be some type though besdies the uproar in the late 90's. Like it just not called byw at the time though.
But The hardys is the oldest I have seen so far too. But I still wonder though.
I remember jerry lawyer saying something about him backyard wrestling before it was called that once...

Nick Mondo's BYW "ninja battles" are probably back there with their dating, probably around the time of the Hardy Boys stuff. He was a pro by 1998, and was BYWing several years before that, so I'm not exactly sure. MDogg20's flippy BYW stuff is probably around that time, too.
