'''''Total Extreme Wrestling''''' is a series of [[Simulation Games|simulation computer games]] based off of [[Professional Wrestling]]. It was started in 1995 by British-programmer Adam Ryland initially as a card game but quickly became a computer program due to the complex rules and long setup required. It was initially called ''Extreme Warfare''.
 
The series gained a bit of popularity when ''Extreme Warfare Deluxe'' was released, but gained an even higher level of fame when ''Extreme Warfare Revenge'' was released in 2002.

The series jumped from freeware to a professional product in 2004 when the first ''Total Etxreme Warfare'' was released. The series soon changed its name to ''Total Extreme Wrestling''.
