Belt presentation with Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman allows the ring to clear before calling out Madison Eagles to join himself and Jeff Cobb. Unveiling both the titles, Heyman has referee's put the belts around both wrestlers waists. After raising both their hands, Heyman tells both to hold their titles with pride.
Jeff Cobb takes a microphone and tells the crowd that he is ready to be a fighting champion, and he wants to start with tomorrow's show by offering a World Championship opportunity to anyone willing to take him on.
Madison Eagle is a bit more reserved in her approach, stating that she'll be keeping a keen eye on the pack that's chasing her championship.

Nice start. Will there be more info going forward? Roster? Titles? Teams? etc. Not knocking it, just interested.
Titles/Teams coming in upcoming shows as things play out. No "full-time" roster yet, as it's an indie fed being built from nothing, but there will be some consistent names appearing (if we can avoid the eventual WWE poach-fest)
-
Well, this is a bit of a twist from someone long considered the "mad scientist" of pro wrestling since his ECW days and who courted controversy even before then in the Northeast indies, Florida, Memphis, the AWA, Continental and WCW.
Count me subscribed.
That was the aim! Shaking the old nickname and prove that he's a "wrassling" booker

Special Announcement From Paul Heyman

My success has been attributed to a lot of things. Violence, sex and, the borderline anarchy of the 90s. Despite people making their name, making money, off of my ideas, I was always content with my place in professional wrestling. Well here we are in 2013. As the years tick by, people start to forget what I was - what I represented. Everything I built was no longer because of my genius, but circumstance. The right guy, with the right roster, at the right time.
They’re wrong. They were wrong 15 years ago, and I promise you I will prove them wrong again. From nothing, I’ll build a new dynasty, a new legacy. No money, no ring, nothing. Yet ten years from now, I will change this industry again.
Ladies and gentleman, my name is Paul Heyman, and this is the rise of Pure Wrestling.

Welcome to the Rebellion, Part IV
I suppose it’s ironic that a man named Regal was now leading a rebellion.
Not very Regal at all is it?
Either way, I’d accepted an offer to get this new company off the ground.
There were some terms, there’s always terms.
Firstly, this investor, whoever they are, is going to offset any losses for the first year.
Pretty good? Yeah, he only wants a TV deal within three years to compensate him for that.
Being based in Nottingham makes things tough too.
I get London is crowded, but what about Manchester? Liverpool?
The rebel aesthetic is the only thing making Nottingham appealing.
Either way, it’s time to make some calls – let’s put the first four shows live and see what people think.

Welcome to the Rebellion, Part III
The following is an announcement from Steven Regal
As you are likely aware at this point, I was removed from my creative post at WWE’s NXT brand.
My years helping to establish the NXT brand as a powerhouse in the world of professional wrestling were some of the best of my career.
It was a position I was content in and a position I was happy to see out my career in.
Of course, the world works in mysterious ways and I was removed from my position by the WWE.
Over the past few days, I have spoken with an investor who wishes to create a brand-new company in my homeland, England.
They wish to have me in charge of the day to day running of the company – and I have accepted their offer.
The British scene has fallen on hard times.
Attendances are down, the talent has upped and left. With the right vision, we can revive a dying Britwres scene.
This is the final mark I wish to leave on this industry. A revolution in British wrestling and a rebellion against all those who tore it down.
Our rebellion starts in the heart of the City of Rebels itself.
The home of Robin Hood. The city of Nottingham.
Welcome to Rebel City Wrestling.

Welcome to the Rebellion, Part II
As I watched the phone ring again, I couldn’t tell you why I decided to answer it this time.
An unknown number, ringing again for the ninth consecutive day.
I didn’t answer it last Monday. Maybe there was internal respect for their persistence. Maybe that's why I answered
Whatever the reason was, I picked up the phone.
I don’t know what I expected. AEW? Impact maybe. Christ, had I really fallen to Impact already?
“Hello, is that Steven Regal?”
“Hi, yes, this is Steven speaking. How can I help?”
“Blimey, Steve, you’re tough one to get a hold of. Look we’ve come to you with a proposition.”
So forward and unprofessional, maybe it’s Major League Wrestling?
I should have hung up there and then, but they’d only persist, so I may as well humour them for a bit.
“Steve, we’re a consortium, led by a wealthy investor who wishes to put their money into the wrestling business”
“Let me guess, you want a TV deal too. You want a slice of that revenue AEW and WWE are getting?”
“No Mr. Regal it’s not quite lik-“
“Look, whoever you are, you cannot take on Vince. And whatever is left in the US is AEW’s now. You’re too late.”
“No we don’t want the US, there’s nothing there. We’re aiming to conquer a more fragile market.”
“Like where?”
“Britain.”
“Britain? Mainstream wrestling died in the UK in the eighties, what’s the point?”
“Our investor believes in the talent there, they believe with the right visionary, something can be achieved.”
“I’m not so sure I follow. The British market is a hostile at best and volatile at wor-“
“We’re not asking for an answer right, Steve. Just let us send some info over and let us know what you think.”
The sigh wasn’t subtle. I agreed to the view their terms, but the plans sound foolish.
Conquer the mainstream wrestling market in Britain? Ha. There is no mainstream wrestling market in Britain.
Ah well, at least I can have a good chuckle at whatever they send my way.

Welcome to the Rebellion
The world works in mysterious ways. One moment, you're living comfortably. The dream job, set for life.
You've got it all.
I had given my body and my life to this business. I'd hung up the boots and settled in backstage.
I was creating some of the best wrestling shows the world had ever seen.
I was the happiest man in this business. Then, just like that, it all changed.
One phone call, and my life's work was torn right out of my hands.
"Hey, uh, Steve? It's Paul. You know, ah, with everything that's been going on in the world we've had to make some cuts recently.
I've just got off the phone with Vince and, er, I've got some bad news..."
