Barely Legal[]
On June 30, 2007, EMW showcased it's first EMW Mega Event entitled Barely Legal. The name was inspired by ECW's first Pay Per View under the same name.

First Brand Extension[]
At the start of Season 2 of EMW back in 2008, EMW decided to split the EMW roster and developed its first brand extension. EMW was divided between two brands, the EMW ShowTime Brand and the EMW Wired Brand. The Brand Extension concluded in June 2008.
Hiatus and return[]
From June 2008 to October 2008, EMW went a hiatus due to a failed attempt of a CAW conversion. The re-emergence of the company happened in October 2008 and EMW was back to one roster.
Partnership with National Internet Wrestling Alliance[]
In the spring of 2009, EMW entered into a partnership with the National Internet Wrestling Alliance (NIWA). This partnership allowed superstars from both the NIWA and EMW rosters to make appearances on both companies' shows. The first co-promoted show was EMW/NIWA Disturbing the Peace which was on June 10, 2009 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. A second event co-promoted between the two promotions was EMW/NIWA Supreme Showdown. The event feature interpromotional and non-interpromotional matches. The interpromotional matches counted towards the score for the respective promotion and the promotion with the most points would be awarded the Supreme Showdown Cup. In the end, EMW would take the Supreme Showdown Cup with a score of 2-1 The two events proved successful and more co-promoted events would be in the works for the future.
Second brand extension[]
At the start of season 4 in 2010, EMW went with the second brand extension. The brands were the EMW ShowTime Brand, which now showcased the male superstars of the EMW Roster and the EMW Starlets Brand which showcased the Women Superstars of the EMW Roster.
Relationship with NIWA[]
- EMW had a business partnership with NIWA starting in 2009. The two companies have a great business ship with one another until 2014 when the two promotions didn't see eye-to-eye and the writing has been on the wall for a while what EMW had been planning to do and NIWA does the same thing as well. But in early, the relationship strained when NIWA advertized a Tag Team Championship Match for an Saturday Night Showdown event, only for Mr. CC, the owner of NIWA to find out during the show that his champions The Warios, were no longer champions because they were sent to EMW for a show that he was never informed about, to take part in a Tag Team Turmoil Match that he gave no permission or authority to have, and thus The Warios lost the titles, and there was no championship match. So he decided to take matters into his own hands, and state that NIWA was breaking all ties to EMW, including including the Tag Team Championships, thus crowning their own tag champs at Breakdown 2K15 thus ending the business relationship between the two companies after a very long partnership between EMW and NIWA for the last five years.
Move to Facebook[]
- Starting with Season 9, all EMW shows and cpvs will be posted on Facebook due to membership to the EMWNation forums been pretty low and the followers for the EMW Facebook Page had been on the rise as of late. The EMWNation Forums will still be up for historic value so new EMW fans catch up to the old shows on the forums.
EMW Separates into Three Different Entities[]
- Before season 10, a brand new EMW President was appointed and that person was none other then EMW Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. He then made a huge bombshell during his State of EMW Address when he announced that Extreme Madness Wrestling as of the start of the new season in Late February 2016 will be separated into three different entities. He also announced that EMW will be continued and the EMW Starlets Brand will be re-branded as SCW, Starlets Championship Wrestling with all their champions and title reigns still intact but the titles will now have different names. The EMW World Women's Championship will now be known as the SCW World Championship, the EMW Starlets Championship is now the SCW Social Media Championship and the EMW World Women's Tag Team Championship is now the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Also, the third and new organization will be called the MWF, the Multiverse Wrestling Federation as they will have their own individual championships from each division. The titles will be called the MWF World Heavyweight Championship, United States Championship, and MWF World Tag Team Championship.
