GroundZero Wrestling 2K1

GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 (GZW2K1) is an American professional wrestling promotion founded by Tate "Troublesome" Edmonson in 2001. The promotion operates out of Atlanta, Georgia and the majority shareholder is GroundZero Enterprises.

Formation
GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 in its current form was formed in 2001 as a result of an acquisition of defunct wrestling promotion Extreme Wrestling Organisation (EWO) by media giant GroundZero Enterprises. Many of the EWO-contracted talent such as "The First" Paul Spartan transferred over to the newly formed company at EWO's aquisition and became mainstays of the new federation. Now they are affectionately referred to as the "old guard".

It forms part of the global wrestling franchise known as "Ground Zero Global" which includes GroundZero Wrestling 2K1, the Hong Kong Wrestling Federation, Canadian Stampede Wrestling and United Japan Wrestling. Rivalry between wrestlers from these different federations is not uncommon and has formed the basis of many storylines over the years.

In its long existence, GZW2K1 has put on hundreds of hours of programming, including television tapings, special live events and Pay Per Views. At present, all media transmissions are via GZW2K1's dedicated network (GZG 360) which is handled by Ultimight Media, one of GZW2K1's business partners and its primary distributor.

Wrestling promos and interviews are usually transmitted via GZG 24/7, or via the online magazine Hotwire.
