In 2019, the promotion unveiled the IWC Network which allowed streaming of live events and a back-catalog of past events as far back as 2002. Produced by 2:1 Media, events began streaming live for IWC Network subscribers or available as one-time purchases. The IWC is known for their annual Super Indy Tournament, started by former Norm Connors because local wrestlers were annoyed they weren't in the main event spots. The local wrestlers would refer to popular, well known wrestlers as "Super Indy" and the tournament was born.
