Prelude: The Rise of the NCPW

Hello, students. Welcome to The squared circle. My name is Professor Rusty, and the following is the Rise of the NCPW, and how it became the number one wrestling promotion in the world. See, in the 1990's there were two wrestling promotions fighting against each other. WWF and WCW. Eventually WWF would win the ratings and overtake WCW. The two were merged together and became the WWE.

I was a kid watching wrestling when this merger took place. I watched WWE become the most powerful wrestling promotion of the world, and I watched as Vince McMahon took control of the wrestling universe. I made the decision that I wanted to become involved in the wrestling business and eventually create a wrestling promotion that would be able to compete and overtake the WWE, the way they overtook WCW. This is that story.

My wrestling career started in 2009. I got involved in a promotion in Chillicothe, Ohio. I was trained by a man by the name of Bud to be a referee. After a few months of training, I was thrown in the ring to test my skills. I was horrible at first, very rusty, you could say. Over time, I got better, and it was time for me to ref my first main event. It was Christmas Chaos at the Backstage. The IWA Heavyweight Champion and IWA Cruiserweight Champion, Ron Mathis and Devon Maximus, Adrenaline X, went against Tom McClain and Deacon McKnight. The match was really great. My referee skills on the other hand, were lacking to put it nicely. The next night, I started writing my resignation. I wanted to end the humiliation. Bud, the senior ref, and my trainer, Charlie Brown, a wrestler and Jacquelyn Hyde, the commissioner, wouldn't hear of it. So, the next Sunday, we had a show in the cafeteria of the mall. One wrestler, at the time, the IWA United States Champion, David Lanning, was announcing for the show, the regular announcer couldn't make it that afternoon, and Dave was injured, so he couldn't wrestle on the show, but wanted to help somehow. I didn't bring my gear, and I had just got out of service for the military. They made me ref a match in my military uniform, and announced me as a special guest referee. This is where I got my name. Dave forgot what I said my name was, even though I had a name tag and he was looking right at it, he introduced me as Private Rusty. After that, not only did I receive referee training, I received wrestling training. After I learned the basics, and some advanced moves, I was ready to debut as a wrestler and put the stripes away.

"This match is scheduled for one fall. It has a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, from your local Sunday morning newspaper, Charlie Brown." The announcer said as his music played and he came out to the ring. "And the opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, Rusty the Ref." I came out and walked around the ring high fiving the fans. Charlie Brown got most of the offense. I got to reverse a couple moves and show my skills to the fans before Charlie finished the match, and hit his finisher, the Backstabber. After a couple matches of losing to those who trained me, I got to finally win a couple matches. Then, I got to become a number one contender. Dave was still IWA United States Champion. I decided with the booker, Bull, that I would feud with Dave, since he also helped me train.

"Introducing to the ring, Professor Rusty." The Announcer said to bring me out with my music. I was in a black suit, with a black tie. When I got to the ring, I asked the announcer for the microphone, and helped Angel leave the ring. "Listen up, students, I've been in this company long enough to know one thing. David Lanning is a chicken. David Lanning has been the IWA United States Champion for the past year. Every time he has a defense, he either cheats, or uses his arm injury as an excuse to not compete. Well, I'm tired of seeing a chicken as a champion. It's time someone stepped up to the plate, and challenged him to a match, he can't escape, he can't have help, and he can't say no to... A steel cage match! And it just so happens, next month here at the backstage, is Red, White and Bruised, where every match takes place in a steel cage. So, David, what do you say? Do you agree to this match, or you going to try to find a way to chicken out?" I had done my first promo, it wasn't great, but it was effective. The crowd was behind it. Dave came out. "Rusty, listen to me man, no offense, but you're no competition for me. You are still just a rookie. You don't deserve a title as prestigious as this US belt, yet. Get a few more victories in the ring, and then we will talk." Dave replied. Jackie Hyde came out. "No, Dave. You are not getting out of this match. I am officially declaring that next month, you will defend your US belt against Rusty in the cage." She declared. "This is not fair." Dave protested. "It doesn't matter. I'm the Commish, and what I say goes. The match will take place." Dave had a fit.

IWA RED, WHITE & BRUISED

"This match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, the challenger, from your high school classroom, Rusty BoShankles." We decided it was time to give me a wrestling gimmick. I would be a school teacher like Matt Stryker. "And the IWA United States Champion, from Columbus, Ohio, Doctor David Lanning." David came out with his belt around his waist. He pointed at me and started throwing insults at me and the crowd. He finally got in the ring. He handed his belt to the referee. The ref held it up and showed it to us and the audience and had the bell rang to start the match. The ref on the outside closed the door to the cage, and locked it.

We grappled. He tossed me into the ropes. He went for a clothesline, I ducked. He threw me into the corner and gave me ten chops. I countered and gave him ten chops. Then I pulled him from the corner and gave him a clothesline. I climbed on the top turnbuckle, and was trying to escape the cage. David got up, so I turned around and jumped off the turnbuckle. He countered and I hit the mat. He picked me up, and gave me a suplex. After taking most the offence, he performed his finisher on me, and went for the pin. The ref didn't count. Dave argued with the ref that a cage match can be won by pinfall, the ref argued back, that it can only won by escaping the cage. Dave, angrily picked me up, and went to hit his finisher again, I countered, and hit my finisher, the Rusty Rule. It's a close variation of Matt Stryker's Golden Rule finisher. I climbed the cage, and escaped.

"Winner, and new IWA United States Champion, Rusty Boshankles." The announcer said as the outside ref handed me the belt and raised my hand. I celebrated the moment, then went into the locker room. Everyone congratulated me and told me how awesome I did for a rookie. Dave got up in the ring, and grabbed a mic.

"Rusty, come back out here." Dave said. So I did. "Listen, boy, you may have beaten me, but this isn't over. And with that belt in your hand there, you just became a target to all the other wrestlers in the back. Word of advice, just hand it back over to me. That's the safest thing for you. You are not ready to have that title." Dave continued. "Dave, thank you for the advice, but let me tell you something, I don't give my students anything, they earn it, so just like them, you want this belt back, you got to earn it from me, as the previous champion, you are allotted a rematch. But I will not just hand this title over to you." I told him, then went to the back again.

I held the IWA United States belt for eight months. I feuded with Dave as a new worker was arriving to the promotion, and wrestling his way up the ladder of IWA success. His name was Link Landon. He was a cool kid, and he had an amazing and unique gimmick. He based himself off of Link from the Legend of Zelda series. I would drop the belt to him. After that match was the most important thing that ever happened to me.

A man, roughly in his forties approached me. "Hey, Rusty." He called to me.

"Yes, sir." I responded.

"I work for the National Championship Wrestling Alliance, the NCWA. We have been scouting for new talent to come wrestle for us and I have been very impressed with what I've seen from you in the past few months. I'd like to see you come out for a try-out and maybe make wrestling more than just an once a month gig."

"Well thank you, sir, I'd be honored to go try out." I responded. I never thought losing a title would lead to a job opportunity. Only in the wrestling business. I went and tried out, and they offered me a contract. Two years later, we were all in the locker room getting ready for the show as the owner came in.

"I've got some bad news. This is J-Rocc's last night here in the NCWA. The main event will now be a battle royal to determine the new GM. Every wrestler will be in the match." The owner said. "Good luck." He walked out of the locker room. I won that match, and I became the new onscreen GM of the NCWA. It wasn't a bad job. I learned a lot about how to make promos and act like I was in charge. It was a good accomplishment for my goal. I became a lot of friends with the wrestlers there in the time I spent there. Meeting superstars and legends of the WWE, TNA, and ROH. Some of the wrestlers that I worked with would later join with those companies.

Three years later, March 2011 the owner announced that the company was financially going downhill, and it would be our last show. I went back to Columbus, Ohio and I returned to the IWA. Bull was getting old and tired of running the company. Learning that being GM on screen was about the same as being the owner, I talked Bull into letting me buy the IWA. He accepted. I used my influence to book some of the workers from the NCWA to get publicity for the shows. We started booming. We started booming to the point we picked up a late night TV show. I started gathering a group of staff to help produce the TV shows and keep the company afloat. We rose through the ratings and started to ascend to National status. We came up to being on the same level as ROH and TNA at the end of 2011. The beginning of 2012, I got a phone call from a friend in WWE. Hunter Levesque, you might know him from his ring name, Triple H. He was offering me a job in the WWE.

"We would like to offer you a job within the WWE." HHH said.

"Okay. You do realize that I own the IWA now, right?" Rusty said.

"Yes, we do. But we want your experience to help give pushes to the up and coming talent." HHH responded.

"Ok. Am I going to be on camera?" Rusty asked.

"Yes. You are." HHH said.

"Ok. I want to wear a mask then." Rusty said.

"Ok. We can do that." HHH said.

So, the plan was set up. I would come to Smackdown and help the NXT superstars that were brought up to the main roster get over with the audience. The problem was, I grew with the fans, and the fans wanted to see me pushed, not the NXT superstars. Vince and Hunter, wasn't listening to what the fans wanted. I decided that it was time to accomplish my dream. I started buying WWE shares. The IWA was rising and gaining popularity. I changed the name of the promotion to the NCPW and was able to pick up more TV time slots and hire some new talent. The NCPW started a ratings war with the WWE. I sat down with Teddy Long and Triple H and discussed a new plan.

"Listen, honestly, the fans want to see my character pushed. And I think that it would help teach the others to see me pushed. So, I suggest that I get a title reign, and hold it till around Wrestlemania. I can draw fans for you."

"I like that idea." Teddy Long said. "It really would be great for them to learn the ropes from this."

"I like this idea as well. It brings freshness to Wrestlemania's hype." HHH responded.

So, we went with it. I won the Intercontinental Championship. I held it for three months. The NCPW was beating WWE in the ratings war, and I owned about 80% of the shares of WWE at that time. The Tuesday after Extreme Rules, they started the qualifiers for the Smackdown participants in the Money in the Bank ladder match. I was not on the schedule as a qualifier, I had a promo spot.

"Listen up, For those of you who have been delirious for the past three months, I am the Devistator, and the intercontinental Champion. Now, tonight starts the qualifiers for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Problem is, I'm not in a match, and I want that briefcase so that I can cash in and become the top champion of the WWE. I demand that Teddy Long comes out here, right now, and tell me why I cannot have a shot at that briefcase." I said.

Teddy Long came out. "Playa, here on Smackdown, we like to be fair. You already hold gold, so I'm not putting you in the match."

"What if I drop the title?" the crowd booed as I said that. "If I vacate this belt, do I get in the match?"

"Yes, you would automatically be inserted into the match." Teddy replied.

So, I stepped out of the ring, and walked to Teddy Long at the entrance ramp and handed him the intercontinental championship and we both walked backstage.

Now, I'm going to fast forward a bit. NCPW won the ratings war. And WWE was losing money trying to create ideas to win the war. I won the briefcase at the Wrestlemania PPV. To keep you in track with time, it is March 2012. Vince was showing up on TV more to get ratings, but it wasn't working.

I came in to the WWE Headquarters building in Connecticut to talk to Vince. He was filing for bankruptcy, and I was going to give him an offer he couldn't refuse.

"Mr. McMahon, it was a great fight, but we are not done yet. I want to buy this company from you." I said.

"Well, you start with fire, don't you? Have a seat." Mr. McMahon said.

"I try to keep things professional. This is what I see as being the plan." We sat and talked and he actually liked my plan and gave it the green light.

December 2012: PPV TLC

"John Cena wins." Michael Cole shouts.

"John Cena just won and defended his belt against Randy Orton in the most brutal TLC I've ever seen." King said.

"Here is your winner, and still WWE Champion, John Cena." Lillian Garcia announced. John could barely stand. But he held on to the ropes and his WWE championship and tried to celebrate. Orton was upset about losing. He took a chair, and hit Cena in the face. Cena fell to the mat. I came out, holding the briefcase. I came down and told the ref I wanted to cash it in. The ref took the briefcase, held it up and rang the bell. I picked Cena up, hit the Rusty Rule and pinned Cena. The ref counted the three count, and I was the new WWE Champion.

"Wow. The Devistator just became the WWE Champion." King said.

"He has held the briefcase since Wrestlemania and chose to cash it in, when the champ was at his weakest state. That is low." Cole said. "We are out of time ladies and gentlemen. Join us tomorrow night at 9 pm on the USA network for Monday Night Raw. Goodnight everyone."

December 2012: Monday Night Raw:

The opening of the show played, pyro shot off, Cole and JR introduced the show and slightly recapped the PPV last night. A decoy of me was standing behind the curtain of the entrance ramp waiting to come out. Then my music hit, and he entered the stage with the belt around his waist. He walked to the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the new era for WWE. I am the new WWE Champion after cashing in my briefcase last night on John Cena." I said. Vince's music began to play, and Vince came out to the ramp, did his funny walk and entered the ring.

"Who do you think you are?" He asked me.

"The Devistator." I replied.

"I want to know who you are under the mask, you idiot. Unmask, now." Vince demanded.

"Um, Vince, you do not want that to happen. You will not like what you see." I said. At that moment, Cena came from behind and delivered the attitude adjustment to the decoy. Then Vince removed the mask. And made the decoy stand up.

"What? You're not supposed to be wearing the mask." Vince said. I appeared on the titantron.

"What's wrong, Vince? It looks like you're looking for someone. It wouldn't be me, would it?" I asked him.

"Rusty, what are you doing here?" Vince asked.

"Well, as you know, I am the owner of the NCPW. I have a couple of revelations I would like to give to you." I responded to him.

"Ok." Vince said.

"Well, first, I am the real Devistator, which also means, the owner of your rival company is holding your top championship, and you didn't even know it. Second, I have bought the WWE, and its fate rests in my hands. Is this too much of a déjà vu for you, Vince? You seem a little pale." I said.

Vince was speechless in the ring. It went to a commercial. When it came back on, Cole and Lawler recapped what had happened and the show continued with the scheduled matches. After the main event, I came out to the ring.

"For now, the WWE will remain, but be warned, changes are coming soon." I said. So, from the time of the Royal Rumble to Wrestlemania, the whole hype was how WWE was bought out by the NCPW. But, Vince wasn't willing to give up his company so easily. A feud between him and I ensued, and cultivated to a match at Wrestlemania. Rusty vs. Vince, owner vs. owner, company for company.

Wrestlemania March, 2013:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is set for one fall. Introducing first, the CEO of WWE, from Greenwich, Conn. Vince McMahon." As Vince came out to the entrance ramp, and did his walk to the ring, the announcer, Lillian said. "And the opponent, from Columbus, Ohio. The CEO of the NCW, Professor Rusty." I came out to the entrance ramp and headed to the ring. HHH and Shane came out and attacked me. Vince went for an early pinfall. I kicked out at a one count. Vince stood me up, and irish whipped me into the ropes, followed by a clothesline. I rolled out of the ring when I hit the mat. I regained my composure, and then climbed back in the ring, as the ref counted to seven. HHH and Shane didn't leave ringside, but they couldn't touch me, or else Vince would have been DQ'd. When I got back in the ring, Vince went for a kick. I grabbed his leg, and reversed with a leg sweep. Then I picked him up and power bombed him. The match went back and forth. There were many chants for both of us, and many near falls. Vince Irish whipped me again, aiming for a corner, and I hit the ref, and knocked him out. Shane and HHH entered the ring and with Vince, started attacking me again. NCW superstars, David Lanning, Charlie Brown and Link Landon came to my rescue. At this point, Vince was knocked out by a steel chair, Lanning was holding. I picked Vince up, while the ref was recovering, and hit the Rusty Nail. I pinned him, for the three count and won the match.

"Here is your winner, Professor Rusty."

And that was how I became the owner of the WWE and NCW. After many meetings, and arguments, all the factors came to play and the names of the shows, PPVs, and championships were made, within the next 24 hours, the first show of the NCW Monday Night Murder was about to start live in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio…
