The National Wrestling League, headquartered out of Hagerstown, Maryland, was founded by Dick Caricofe in 1988, and has held professional wrestling events throughout the US and overseas in Guam, Saipan, Pohnpei, Hawaiian Islands, Palau, and the Marshall Islands. WWF superstar Mankind won his very first professional wrestling championship when he captured the NWL heavyweight title on the island of Guam in 1991. The NWL takes pride in providing quality professional wrestling training at the NWL's Superior Pro Wrestling Training Center, which continuously sets new creative standards and ideas, making it a popular place for many leagues to keep an eye on. The SPWTC is also the home of the very popular HOUSE of PAIN Wrestling Federation, founded by John Rambo in 1997. The HoPWF holds bi-weekly events in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, along with totally "free admission" events every Tuesday and Saturday evening at the NWL's Superior Pro Wrestling Training Center in Hagerstown, Maryland.
