IWE History
IWE
This series walks through the history of International Wrestling Enterprise, a short-lived but important Japanese promotion that built around Shozo “Strong” Kobayashi as its top native star and used foreign stars such as Billy Robinson, Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel and a young wrestler named Monster Rousimoff, who was later billed as Andre the Giant. I would strongly suggest doing a deep dive on this forum if you’re especially interested in learning the history of IWE.
