The HiWF, an online wrestling federation, or e-fed, was founded on April 24, 2002. With a dedicated wrestler base, the HiWF has gone on to become one of the few e-feds that survive longer than a few months, still surviving to this day. May 25, 2004 would be Eric Böhringer’s final swansong after running HiWF for Year 1, Year 2, and a majority of Year 3. At first Eric Böhringer was going to close HiWF, citing failing membership, and also being influenced by an addiction to the popular MMORPG game City of Heroes.
