Although a critical success, commercially they were a flop and struggled badly, under owner and founder Tyler Baker. Many people within 21CW knew it was going to be a tough battle heading into a car crash for them to survive and succeed. Baker tried his hardest, using his years of being a businessmen and his natural motivational speaking ability to push his workers on. However, in September 2006, on the brink of bankruptcy, they were taken over by UK celebrity Jeff Nova. His vision was to take the Sports Entertainment style that had made SWF a global power and give it a uniquely English twist. He used his fame to get them a TV deal, gave the promotion a virtual makeover, and the result was a complete change in fortunes. Nova's vision and fresh injection into 21CW worked, they turned over a profit and for the first time had the UK taking notice of professional wrestling outside of North America. The promotion has gone from strength to strength, and for the first time ever the UK has a promotion that has the potential to make a genuine impact on world wrestling.
