Revision as of 13:55, 10 July 2020

XBA Xtreme Backyard Assault is a media entertainment company that is primarily known for Backyard Wrestling, based in Adelaide, South Australia founded in 2001 by Shawn Montague and had its last show in 2005.

They are well known by their "Death Death Documentary" DVDs which were distributed with licensed soundtracks by Industrial Strength Records featuring; Lenny Dee, The Berzerker, Delta 9, Moshpit and more.

All though the company and match types are mainly inspired by WWE and CZW, they perform minimal professional wrestling manoeuvres and focus more on hardcore violence with weapons and perform jackass style stunts and comedy skits.

"They cover the grass in glass and bloody bodies on the floor, somebody lock these guys up!"

The group was first established in 2001 by Shawn Montague, however ownership roleplaying was done by the anonymous Malakian. Two shows occurred each month, one was a house show raw event entitled "Darkness" followed by a pay-per-view. Most wrestlers were personally trained by Montague, some of which have never wrestled before.

They had several unique violent match types, most notable; The Drunken Death Match, which 3 individuals were filmed drinking throughout the night and then thrown into a ring together. Another included being Buried Alive In Hell's Pit, which the object was to throw your opponent into an 6 foot grave full of glass to win.

"Don't try this at home, Try it at ours!"

Their obscure insanity captured audiences mainly throughout their website clips and VHS/DVDs sold locally, as the live events were closed to the public. However the group gained some publicity by featuring on Russel Gilberts "Wild Wacky Sports". Witnesses to the live events and recordings critic how violent and shocking some matches become, while others are just fun to watch.

The group narrowed down in size by its last year standing, however they were hitting harder than ever. In 2006, two new arena's were under construction with their own full size professional ring. However the owner put the group on hiatus to focus on a musical career.

A new web-series was promoted by Montague in 2020 featuring new commentary over remastered VHS matches, to release in the near future. A reunion show has been discussed since 2012 with Bitch vs. Shawn Montague being pitched as the main event, KidCrusher noted this may come into reality after the launch of the upcoming web series.
