The Nu Wave

The Nu Wave is a professional wrestling stable in Global Pro Wrestling.

First incarnation (2000-2004)
On the January 4, 2000 edition of 'PUMPED! 'Todd Richards put together a group of young upstarts in GPW to form the Nu Wave stable. The stable consisted of Richards, Drew Peters, Cody Cooper, Frank Hanley & Darnell Whitaker. The group formed after they regressed from the Alliance Against the Wagner's (AAW) thus turning them babyfaces. Then, because of a personal endorsement from the Wagner family, the group cemented their babyface turn by helping the Wagner's in their fight against the Alliance.

On April 23, 2000 at Wrestling Extravaganza, the Nu Wave defeated the Alliance in an Eight Man Tag Team Elimination Match. The following 'PUMPED! 'saw the Nu Wave add Shane Sloane to the group.

In the weeks leading up to Desire, the Nu Wave chose their championship matches by virtue of their win in the Eight Man Tag match. Frank Hanley chose to compete for the newly created Heritage Championship, Drew Peters and Todd Richards competed for the United States Tag Team Championship, Darnell Whitaker competed for the Television Championship and Cody Cooper chose to compete for the Light Heavyweight Championship. At Desire on May 14, the five members of the Nu Wave won their respective championship matches. Since Sloane arrived in the group after the original members were given their respective championship matches, Sloane won an open match contract battle royal on 'PUMPED! 'that following Tuesday.
