Backyard wrestling has a home again.
Founded in Australia in 1997 to help backyard federations find each other, the Link became where a worldwide scene met. Now it's back. The community lives in the Discord, the history lives here, and the BYW Link game is on the way.
In the Discord
- Meet wrestlers and the old crowd
- Promote your federation
- Share footage, photos and flyers
- Talk backyard wrestling history
- Plan supershows and joint events
- Follow the BYW Link game

Hundreds of federations. Thousands of wrestlers, editors and camera guys. All of them building the same thing in their own backyards, most of them sure nobody else was.
