The FILL was founded in April 21, 2007 idealized by José Thiago Brito, also known by his ring name Tytan, and a friend. At the beginning, the training sessions took place in a Public Park, with some professional wrestling fans from the São Cristóvão (Rio de Janeiro) area being the early practitioners. Then the training sessions were moved to the São Conrado, Rio de Janeiro's and Botafogo's beaches, where they took place at the beach sand to minimize the impacts of the practice which lasted for 3 years.

In January of 2010, the FILL officially professionalized and moved to a permanent address in which it remains until nowadays, at the Vila Kosmos area in the Florença Club, at first using an improvised foam and rubber mat. In February of 2012 FILL bought its first ring. After the ring acquisition the promotion intensified its training sessions and invited more people to begin with the professional wrestling training classes.
