DFW was the first professional wrestling promotion to hold it's show at the Goodwin Super-stadium in Jade, Beringer State with a crowd of 255,000, the largest in the promotion's history.

Decline and Boucher's death (2000-2006)
In the early 2000s, the burgeoning popularity of mixed martial arts (MMA) in Magisteria was noticed by Boucher, who wanted to integrate elements of shoot wrestling to make the company appear more realistic. The company would partner with martial arts organization K-1 and begin to insert wrestlers into MMA fights, with the goal of pushing DFW in a more realistic direction and to make it appear as an actual sport. DFW declined, so as Boucher's health as he died from a heart attack on December 25, 2004.

Resurgence and worldwide expansion (2006-present)
In 2006, DFW hosted its first ever pay-per-view (PPV) event, WrestleRave I on December 16, 2006.

The promotion debuted it's own version of NJPW's NEVER, OMEGA (Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts), designed to be a series of events spotlighting younger up-and-coming Dragon Fire talent and feature more outsider participation in the promotion. OMEGA is still ongoing but is set to end on April 17, 2021, in the final event of OMEGA named "OMEGA: The Final Countdown"

Contracts
Up until the 1980s, DFW signed its workers to multi-year contracts, before changing to a system where the promotion signed its wrestlers to one-year deals that expired at the end of every January. Following the departures of A.J. Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura, DFW chairman Horace Winston announced in December 2015 that the promotion was returning to the multi-year contract system.
