The Class A Connection actually began about a year ago in the CWF where Dustin Kennedy who was the leader of the Horsemen at that time brought in Shane Smith.  Kennedy was no doubt the franchise of the CWF.  Although using different characters Kennedy won the CWF World, Intercontinental, Hardcore, and Tag Titles.  Shane was brought in at the CWF's first PPV.  He was to face Kennedy for the Intercontinental Title.  Keep in mind that Kennedy wasn't the World Champion at this time.  At the PPV Shane came out first but Kennedy never came out.  The president of the company then announced that if Kennedy didn't show up that the title would be forfeited to Shane Smith.  Kennedy never appeared and so Shane got the title.  At the end of the night there was a triple threat ladder match for the CWF World Title.  After the match was over Kennedy and the rest of the Horsemen came out and attacked the champion who was named Hunter.  Shane Smith then came out as the fans cheered but he turned his back on all of the fans when he sided with Kennedy and joined the Horsemen.  Eventually time passed and Kennedy won the World Title.  The problems between Kennedy and the president of the company then began to brew.  The problems were in the ring as well as out.  Kennedy and Smith eventually got tired of it and decided to quit after the owner said that the CWF could survive without them.  Low and behold what happened the night after they quit.....The CWF shut down!  So Smith took some time off while Kennedy joined the PCW.  He won the World and Intercontinental titles there and decided to quit due to lack of competition.  Kennedy was out for a while until Smith notified him that the CWF was going to reopen.  The president of the CWF asked both Kennedy and Smith to come back.  There was a battle royal held to crown the new CWF World Champion.  The last two men in the ring were Smith and Kennedy.  Brian Lee interfered and knocked both of them out with a lead pipe.  Shane eventually eliminated Kennedy to become the CWF World Champion.  The president then decided he couldn't run the CWF any longer and shut it down.  So both men took alot of time off before Kennedy found the GWF.  The GWF held one show where Kennedy won the World Title and after that the GWF was shut down.  Within the GWF were 2 wrestlers named Carson Davis and Rey Rey Psycho.  Carson had informed Kennedy that Rey Rey was in a new fed called the XWA and that he was using Kennedy's rps.  Kennedy then joined the XWA and on his first night there layed Rey Rey out and defeated Kysis to win the XWA Hardcore Title.  After that Carnage was held where Kennedy pinned Kysis again to retain the Hardcore Title but lost it to T Amazing due to the 24/7 rule.  Kennedy then took some time off due to the death of his dad and when he came back he brought Shane Smith to the XWA.
