The NAFW served as the pinnacle of wrestling greatness for almost six years between 2000 and 2006. It was the home to some of the wrestling world's greatest and most famous superstars, including "Griever" Tyler Hyatt, Sean "Spaz" Thomas, "The Word" David Kurresh, "Mr. Entertainment" Paul Colard, and "The Judge" James Batty. The North Atlantic Foundation of Wrestling went through various owners over the years, including Hector Gonzales, Sean Thomas, and Destiny. Like any business, the NAFW went through various periods of ups and downs. However, in the classic NAFW's final days at the beginning of 2006, turbulent times hit the Foundation, and in a revolutionary coup d'état, Hector Gonzales seized control of the Foundation from Destiny, Inc. and did the unimaginable by closing it down. This marked the first time in its entire existence that the Foundation was not a running operation.

However, the oil tycoon did what he felt he had to do in order to save what was a struggling promotion. He dedicated his time to try and develop a product better than the NAFW of old. This new product is known as the North American Foundation of Wrestling, a name indicative of the Foundation's growth and dedication to touring the North American continent that it has called home for so many years. Hector made the necessary upgrades and changes around the company and even struck a national cable television deal to bring NAFW's style of wrestling back to prime time television.

Unfortunately, a string of bad luck plagued the relaunched promotion over its two year run from 2006 to 2008. First, contract disputes from wrestlers who did not have the company's best interest at heart plagued the Foundation while Hector Gonzales was conducting business negotiations overseas toward the end of 2006. Then the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike brought show production to a screeching hault. This resulted in the NAFW's flagship show, Annihilation, changing networks from TNT to Versus. After that, the world wide economic recession in 2008 weakened the company fiscally and lawsuits against the NAFW relating to a botched movie premiere starring a wrestler-turned-actor absorbed most the administration's energy. Following the NAFW's biggest Pay Per View of the Year, OBLIVION, Hector Gonzales made the decision to cease production of new shows and released the wrestlers from their contracts.

What is next for the NAFW? No one is quite sure. Hector Gonzales is still the owner of the company and maintains rights to its assets. At any moment, he may decide to recruit the best and brightest back into the squared circle. Will the world ever see another NAFW show? Like they say in the wrestling business... "Never say never."
