DasRhodes Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 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..."

DasRhodes Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasRhodes Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasRhodes Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 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.
