History
In late 2006, Tommy Cairo formed the Force One Pro Wrestling promotion and training school. This was a cooperative effort between Cairo, Phil Varlese, former wrestling talk show host, trainers Pat (White Lotus) DiGiacomo and James (Diego DeMarco) Pillman. Additional assistance was provided by Dan Brown of D. Benjamen Brown Productions, who produces many MMA pay per views and other shows in both Atlantic City, New Jersey and Las Vegas, Nevada.[2] Force One’s debut show took place on Saturday, May 19, 2007, at Egg Harbor City, New Jersey. The show was titled Pledge of Allegiance.[3]
In 2010, changing their name from Force One to Force 1, F1PW relaunched as a member of the National Wrestling Alliance.
