Note: The Global Wrestling Alliance was started by Al Snow (who had previously promoted the Independent Championship Wrestling shows in Lima). He promoted the Bodyslammers Gym shows in 1993 and 1994. The two shows held in Dayton in 1994 were promoted by Dale Grow, the host of a cable access wrestling show. The shows held in Michigan in 1994 and 1995 were promoted by Dan Severn and run as fundraisers for high school sports teams. The Bodyslammers Gym shows in 1995 and early 1996 were promoted by Snow’s assistant trainer D-Lo Brown. The shows from late 1996 through December 1998 were promoted by new assistant trainer Wayne Cryderman (Crusher Kline). In December 1998, Snow sold the gym and promotion to a businessman in Cleveland. A handful of shows were run by the new owner in 1999. After the sale, Cryderman began to promote shows under the World Wide Wrestling Association banner. In May 2007, Dusty Dillinger (one of Snow’s former students) revived the GWA name and began promoting shows in Lima.
