HIW

HIW stands for High Intensity Wrestling and it is a CAW wrestling league created by Karnage in January of 2008. HIW attempted a form of CAW in which normally shows are done in a fantasy setting, using fantasy characters and doing fantasy based storylines (or concepts) with them, and only using wrestling as a form of decision or closure for storylines. Many of these are based on science fiction literature and other works of fiction such as video games, films, comics, anime and such.

History
The first incarnation of HIW ran from January to October of 2008. A second incarnation is currently in the works. This section covers all that is remembered from the first incarnation.

Early HIW:
In the beginning, HIW tried to interact with the CAW community by making a news post signaling its arrival. In said news post, Karnage explained what the league would be about and announced a complete roster and three title belts, the HIW World Title, the HIW National Title and the HIW Underground Title.

Merely weeks after that, a show was posted. HIW - Road to the debut was shown to the CAW world and two episodes were produced. The purpose for Road to the debut was to showcase some of HIW's characters to the viewers. Road to the debut is non-cannon to current HIW continuity.

Traditional CAW Era:
(This era goes form HIW - Episode 1 to HIW Last Rights.)

During this time, HIW made it full time debut into CAW. There was not much support for it but episodes kept being produced regardless. After the fist episode was posted, it was made known that female characters would no longer be a part of HIW(this has since been changed.), since a female division was taking place in HIW. There was not much to the shows during this era, not much storyline, no character interaction. Just matches set in a tame, real life environment.

HIW's fist mega event, Last Rights, was the fist attempt at anything fantasy-based. During this mega event, Ravenous went on to become the HIW Underground Champion and would go on to be the main antagonist of one of HIW's most talked about storylines in the lower card scene. The event also crowned the fist HIW National Champion and HIW World Champion in Orochimaru and Ermac, respectively. At this point, the Ravenous storyline was a sign of the things to come from HIW.

Fantasy CAW Era - Phase 1:
