Many still claim to this day that Adam Browne doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, but looking past his arrogant and egotistical ways, Browne did have quite a few accomplishments. He started off as Adam Reign, an apprentice to Todd Reign. Not only is he a multiple time champion, Keith Strathem (his "protégé") made the beginning of the NGPW promotion, doing the impossible. Even before this though, Adam himself had quite a career.

Not only did he retire Vampiro (PetVyrus) in the first ever "Flaming Torch Match," but he also competed and won the longest match in RCWF's history, by defeating Poizon in a seven hour "Iron Man Match." His feuds against the entire Thad Family pockmark the beginning of his career, even as he began teaming with a young Tad Peters to form the T&A tag team. His attention turned to winning the World Tag Team Titles, and that is exactly what he did. With Peters at his side, T&A resorted to some of the most despicable things imaginable like kidnapping Torrie Wilson and WOY's Stacy Keibler for ransom.

As his career blossomed into mainstream, Adam Browne won the World Heavyweight Championship, and also became the first champion in RCWF history to no-show his own pay-per-view main event title defense! On a personal level, Adam and Tad could be was close as being brothers. Many remember the confusing arguments the two would have, then turn right around and call one another "duns," and rinse and repeat.

Even in the newest incarnation of RCWF, Adam Browne still represents his HOF name by being a permanent member of Team THAD and even winning two more reigns at Tag Team Championships in 2008 and 2009. Not deserving? We don't think that's correct. Looking beyond his personal problems with diva's and constant troublemaking with others on the roster, Browne has accomplished quite enough.

The wife of the CEO would be there from nearly the beginning and stick with her husband to the end. Ascenia never really stood out in front of the cameras until she was given a General Manager position of Demolition in 2009, but she had been working behind the scenes and ensuring that things ran smoothly, especially in the booming years of 2001-2002.

As an intricate part of the backstage happenings in the RCWF, she helped organize and keep things under control in areas that Thaddius didn't have time. Some of her handiwork can still be seen to this day here in and around the vault, ensuring that documents and related materials would be organized enough for anybody with half of a brain to read with comprehension.

Her in-ring talents would start to shine gradually, really starting in 2008 when she became a legitimate contender for the Women's Championship. She would actually claim the title with a win over Lisa Marie Varon on the July 15th edition of Tuesday Painkiller in 2008. She became more of an in-ring presence with her aforementioned job as the General Manager of RCWF's third brand: Demolition. To this day, Ascenia handles some portions of the backstage happenings and keeps things in order to make the promotion running as smoothly as possible.

If it weren't for her helpfulness in the beginning in keeping things steady and organized, there is a possibility that RCWF couldn't have lasted the length it has. Times were insane in the boom days, with literally hundreds of members coming and going with each passing month. It was in these crazy times that Ascenia really stood out and beyond in her commitment to making RCWF a well run promotion.
She was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame in the same night as Stacy Keibler and Nora Greenwald on July 13th, 2004 at Wrestlemania V.

Azrael Satan is who many call "the most hardcore female competitor in RCWF history." When looking back on her past and the things that she went through to get to the Hall of Fame, you can't really deny the fact. Probably her most famous incident is the fact she actually accepted a match against Krow in his very own match creation! In the end, Azrael Satan was powerbombed off the cage and landed on top of a limousine! It wasn't pretty, but really none of Azrael's career was ever about being pretty.

Because of her decision to become a no-holds barred type of competitor, her regular career was ended shortly because of nagging injuries she'd constantly get while wrestling in matches. Her couple of Women's Championship reigns didn't compare to the types of things she'd put herself (and her opponents) through in each and every match.

When not wrestling, she was also known for her managerial roles. She helped Poizon along the way early on in his career, guiding him to success in the hardcore division. She was also along the side of Todd Reign, Krow and others through her career. At Wrestlemania V, Azrael Satan made a surprise comeback, aiding Krow and Chris Craven as a manager in their match against Poizon and Scott Toker!
She was the first female inducted into the Hall of Fame and rightfully so. Her career started earlier on and was one of the most unique that the promotion had ever seen. Whether it was helping aid her client to victories at ringside or putting her opponents through hell, Azrael Satan was definitely the premiere women's talent in the early era.

Azrael officially returned in 2008 and began teaming up with Cypress Bloodjoy. The two despise the men's division, and call themselves "The Black Widows.

The whole career of Bryan Nutz could be looked at as one big joke after another. Even the man himself would probably proclaim that. From his shenanigans on Thaddius to his blatant disregard for respect and his old school submission moves he rubbed in the faces of his opponents, Nutz was the epitome of one big nice guy who just decided one day to wrestle.

There were numerous title reigns for B-Nutz, who always happened to be in the right place at the right time. While massive feuds and rivalries were going on all around him, Nutz just happened to slide right up the ranks while everybody else was busy dealing with one another. His ride up to his first World Championship would be a pretty easy route, as compared to others who are in the Hall of Fame.

Once he did become champion, he didn't stop there. The once active Hardcore Tag Team Championships were established and put on the line in one match. That match Bryan Nutz won by himself, and he'd continue to hold onto the belts for over a year until the titles were finally declared defunct. This blue haired rebel learned quickly how to say the right things and do the right actions to even piss off Thaddius himself.

The "Soap on the Rope" incident is a favorite amongst old school competitors, showcasing a special event that was held at Thaddius' private estate in which an accident occurred when Vampiro and Thaddius were in the bathroom together.

Little did the two know that Bryan Nutz had planted a secret camera in the bathroom and caught the CEO and the painted freak doing rather obscure things, like Thad handing a bar of soap to Vampiro, who in turn dropped it in the tub and asked Thaddius to pick it up. A naive Thad would comply, and Vampiro would get to know the boss a little better. This tape led to several battles between Nutz and Thad, until it was finally destroyed in a bonfire in 2002.

The two brothers known as Shifty and R.B. originally didn't team with one another. In the early days, it was Shifty Bradley and Matt Villas who followed John Kaos to the RCWF and the era of Team WOY finally began. Only later did R.B. arrive and the two brother began to own the tag team ranks, one tag team at at time.

From epic battles against Frequency and the Hardkore Hellhoundz, to overcoming tough odds against Adam Browne & Tad Peters, it always seemed as though the Bradley Brothers got the job done when they needed it the most. Their several reigns as Tag Team Championships also awarded them the rare commodity of having the PPW version of the Tag Team Championships named after them: "Team WOY Tag Team Titles." After the PPW Wars, the titles became retired with the team.

Their talents weren't only tied to the tag team system, however. Shifty Bradley defeated Chris Jericho at RCWF's first annual Halloween Havoc event to win and become the first ever Universal Champion, whilst beating Jericho in a "Buried Alive Match." R. B. Bradley would earn his first World Championship when he won the UW Championship in 2003.

It was during 2003-2007 when the Bradley Brothers began their transitioning phase of slowly leaving the business. Their time spent in the independent leagues provided for some great matches for the local audiences and they continued to live up to their moniker and name, but due to backstage views, their time in the RCWF seemed to finally come to an end officially.

It wasn't until 2008 when John Kaos began receiving eerie messages about him leaving someone behind. It was finally revealed a month before Wrestlemania VIII that the Bradley Brothers had finally returned officially to the RCWF for the first time since 2003! Since then, the brothers have been a pinnacle in the tag division

The first official member to join the RCWF. To fill out that contract and sign on that dotted line. To know that you were the very first person outside of Thaddius to officially become a part of this long and great tradition? That in itself should be more than deserving of a spot on the Hall of Fame, but Bret Hart did way more than that.

From numerous World Heavyweight Championships, to establishing the European Championship, Hart was almost always in a title picture in one way or another. His title retain at the first Wrestlemania on April 21st, 2000 also helped his chances in becoming a legitimate contender for the Hall of Fame. No matter what Hart did, he always seemed to be ahead of the game and his opponents.

There were countless nights in the beginning when Bret Hart would lock on the dreaded "Sharpshooter" onto Thaddius, and the evil CEO would find any loophole possible in the rulebook to counter that submission hold before his demise. It was a constant battle of wits between Hart and Thaddius that was almost primarily made up of the beginning of RCWF's legacy.

Bret "Hitman" Hart made one final farewell in NRCW when he returned on September 19th, 2003 and won the World Heavyweight Championship one more time. He announced on the following Painkiller that he was retiring for good and handed the World Championship to his apprentice, a young man called Chris Kaiser. That would be the last time we saw of Bret "Hitman" Hart in the old forum of RCWF.

While the skill and talents of Bret Hart will always precede him, so will his arrogance. Hart was always confident in his abilities, and some might even tell that he was too confident. Regardless of that, Hart was a dead ringer for this group

The always mysterious and solemn Chris Craven earned a spot in the Hall of Fame in the earlier days in RCWF's history. In just a couple of years, Craven held several championship belts with impressive wins over other inducted Hall of Famers. Feuds against Outlaw, Khaos, Bret "Hitman" Hart and Krow gave Craven the edge he needed, on top of his dark and brooding look at the time to become a main player in the promotion.

His identical look to Krow has always been a topic of discussion when dealing with one or the other, and both despise one another for that fact. In later years, Craven would gradually get away from looking like he did back in 1998, claiming that he "grew up and stopped dressing like it was Halloween all the time." Craven's time as a RCWF competitor is undoubtedly the shortest of the rest of the group, mostly due in part because of his choice to leave RCWF in 1999 and compete in other organizations for the next seven years.

His early ties with RCWF and being a part in helping launch the promotion in the first boom is what contributes to him being added as a Hall of Famer, as well as his unique look at the time. When all wrestlers looked the same and talked the same way, a mysterious character like Craven changed that forever and paved the way for future wrestlers to arrive and become accepted as "different."

His return in 2008 and 2009 has also helped solidify his name as a Hall of Famer, helping himself get more notoriety and in general, more ring time as a RCWF competitor. His reign with John Kaos helped garner him another championship title reign, and his 10+ year feud with Krow finally resolved for good at 2008 Halloween Havoc.

Chris Craven's early career couldn't have been any better, and it resulted in HOF.

The monster of a man known as Damon Steele started out as humble beginnings, performing and having a likeness to one of his favorite wrestlers: Chris Hero. As time went on, Steele gradually began to change over into a more intimidating force in the ring and began to have a reputation as a total ass kicker in and out of the ring.

His career revolved around having such friends like Tyson Hunt, Sean Kryle, Mack Leero and others around him and all became a presence in the RCWF between 2001 and 2003. Steele's career would immediately get a jumpstart when he won the Elimination Chamber 2.0 match at Snowbrawl 2002, defeating seven-plus other men to unify all of the PPW Federation World Championships and end the wars once and for all.

A year later, he'd win a Royal Rumble in the middle of the year to be crowned the RCWF World Heavyweight Champion, and would go on to defend the title belt against Gregg Martin at Badd Blood 2003, which would be the last RCWF event before the NRCW promotion started.

Damon Steele would take a break from the wrestling world, heading into the independents for a couple of years to showcase his talents there. By this time, however, his accomplishments had already reached a pinnacle. In 2008, Damon Steele began teaming with Tyson Hunt officially and appeared in several dark matches before being hired when the Meltdown brand became official in mid-2009.

Damon Steele has been one of the biggest powerhouse wrestlers to step into the ring, and was also pretty creative on the microphone. Whenever he decided to achieve a goal, he plowed his way through the competition to get what it was he wanted and there almost always was no stopping this raging bull.

The RCWF's resident Cajun first arrived in winter of 2000 and began his career out wrestling occasionally and then joining the commentary booth to spread his gospel about the happenings in the RCWF. Fortunately for him, another young man by the name of Roz had been doing that same exact thing. After a while, Thaddius decided to put these two new rookies up together as a tag team and the duo never looked back!

Dan Shoryu & Roz began to dominate the tag team scene as "Frequency," a team that looked to be unstoppable. All throughout 2001, Frequency and WOY would battle in action-packed, incredible tag team matches that headlined both the Homicide and Wrestlemania pay-per-views.

After a falling out, Dan Shoryu and Roz split to begin their own careers. This was when Dan Shoryu officially became a legit singles competitor. With several World Championship wins in the NRCW and GCW promotions, Dan Shoryu solidified himself as a main eventer in the eyes of his peers and the staff. Not only this, but Dan Shoryu was also a renowned booker in the backstage area, even leading several small-time training ground promotions for the RCWF. He also led the USHW promotion to win the PPW Wars in mid-2001!

In the end, Dan Shoryu turned out to basically become a jack of all trades, being able to dominate and finding success in all arenas in the RCWF promotion. In current times, Dan Shoryu is once again a dominant force no matter where he chooses to roam. In recent times, Shoryu has found himself back in the spotlight once again, beit in the World Heavyweight Title picture, an Intercontinental Title reign, or a strong supporter of Thaddius and Team THAD.

When it comes to doing just about everything there is to be done, Dan Shoryu can almost claim that crown. He's been just about everywhere and done almost everything, including being the close friend of an innocent little roman candle.

Lunar, or Ethan Darke as he preferred to be called towards the end of his career, began out in the earlier days of RCWF's legacy, much like a lot of the other Hall of Famers you will read about. His first accomplishments could be his win in the King of the Ring Tournament, defeating Dennis Rodman in the finals to win the RCWF World Heavyweight Championship. To this day, he is the only wrestler in history to win the event, as it has only happened once.

He was in constant competition with his two older brothers, Khaos and Mercury; as the two continued the raise the bar up in the family when it came to achieving greatness in the RCWF. When it all came down to it, Lunar outlasted both of his brothers and his career lasted a whole lot longer. His journey to fame is similar to that of Bryan Nutz, where he just happened to be at the right place and at the right time. His constant battles with stars like Outlaw, Thaddius, Krow and others gave him an even higher namesake in the RCWF legacy, as he continued to pursue his ultimate dream of someday being in the Hall of Fame.

In one particular 11-Man Battle Royal in 2001, Ethan Darke would win the match, throwing Loki out as the last participant to win the Intercontinental Championship. However, because he also won the match, Lunar would be the first person in RCWF history to receive a real true-to-life plaque sent in the mail to him!

His partnership with Khaos in 2002 would be the later part of his brother's career. The duo would turn to random acts of violence in random promos released, especially in the one as indicated in their famous 2002 Thanksgiving Promo.

Lunar's one foray outside of RCWF resulted in a stint in the BECW promotion, where he won their World Championship. He'd bring the title back to RCWF where Thaddius would trashcan it live on Painkiller, adding more fuel to that burning war.

Gregg Martin is better known in RCWF history as an executive consultant, a general manager and even a federation owner back in the PPW Wars. What most don't realize is that during the tenure of the USHW promotion in 2001, he won his first World Championship as an alias: "JayCee Kidd." Another known alias of Martin's is that of KidoMac. Between the three, Gregg was certainly a busy individual in the prime of RCWF's timeline.

His talents from building cards to commentating at the booth were widely known, as Gregg quickly became a jack-of-all-trades in the RCWF system. His abilities in the ring were often underestimated because of all of his time he spent in an executive position. His two returns after brief absenses were subject to big surprises from the locker room. Once in 2002, Martin returned as the mystery opponent to challenge Damon Steele's newly won RCWF World Championship. In 2004, Martin returned once again to join up with the NRCW promotion and actually competed in the same match that Guy Silencine won to win his first World Championship.

Martin has often flew under the radar as time went on, but his accomplishments all over the place can be greatly pinpointed if you think of them all in a broad prospect, rather than just subjecting him to just another wrestler in the ring. His optimistic views on the RCWF has always given him a good image with everybody who has known him, from his comedic roles to his serious times.

His return in 2009 also came as a surprise, as he was immediately appointed the general manager of Tuesday Painkiller. It was here when the "Timeoot" became a regular term on the Painkiller brand, as well as his war against rookie JaX and his alliance with Marcus "The Killa" Daniels.

Even today, Gregg continues to show why he's been an important asset to RCWF.

Guy Silencine started his career out as a lowly rookie, looking for anywhere and anyplace to catch a break. When his cousin (known as Twiztid in RCWF lore) stopped his career, Silencine assumed the identity of his cousin and began his. He would later change his name into Guy Silencine, a name that would forever be synonymous with the RCWF tradition.

In the early days, Silencine was all about opportunities in the midcard division. If you have happened to look into the match index, you will see how busy Guy Silencine was between the years of 2000 and 2002. Fighting for the Continental, Bad Ass, Intercontinental and several Shores Championships, Silencine was definitely the pinnacle of a midcard talent in this era.

It wasn't until NRCW in 2003 when Guy Silencine, after four years; would finally achieve his greatest dream. For four years, Silencine wrestled in midcard and waited for the day that he too, would become the RCWF World Heavyweight Champion. His dream finally came when he eliminated Fire as the last participant, winning Chris Kaiser's World Championship! The entire locker room would erupt to the stage, celebrating and cheering with Guy Silencine as he shouted: "I DID IT! I FINALLY *&$@% DID IT!"

After this, Guy Silencine finally reached the peak of the mountain and there he stood. In 2004, Silencine was inducted into the Hall of Fame for all of his efforts, his hard work and his dedication and loyalty to the RCWF. He would later go on to win several more World Championships and become one of the more famous wrestlers in RCWF's history.

Guy Silencine was never a heel, and was always adored by the fans. His babyface methods gave him the nickname "Superface" in 2003, and it has stuck ever since.

The egotistical one himself. People either like him, or hate him but you cannot deny his accomplishments in the ring. From an early career, Kaos quickly rose through the ranks in 2001, leading up to a win over Gregg Martin for his very first World Championship. From that point on, Kaos invited his fellow family into the RCWF: The Bradley Brothers. Matt Villas, Shifty Bradley and R. B. Bradley carried the WOY's ownage to tag team and midcard levels while John Kaos dominated the main event passage.

With several World Championship reigns under his belt in under a year, John Kaos quickly became one of the fastest rising stars in RCWF's history, which also brought a lot of hate, resentment and jealousy. Of course, Kaos and team WOY didn't help matters much when they constantly bragged about what they were in the very process of doing to the rest of the locker room!

During the PPW Wars in '02, WOY physically dominated the Universal Championship when Shifty Bradley first defeated Chris Jericho to become the first champion. John Kaos and Jake Michaels would later go on to win the same championship before the title was declared defunct. After the screwjob of Royal Rumble 2003, Kaos and his cohorts decided to wrestle on the indy circuit for a while.

When Kaos finally made his official return in 2008, he was ready to once again compete in the RCWF full-time and see where he could take his career. Not only has he captured just about every championship there is to wrap around your waist, but he's battled just about everybody through the annals of RCWF's timeline. John Kaos is here to continue to spread the word: "Yes, I am THAT DAMN good!"

He plans to prove that statement as time goes on, reminding the next generation superstars of RCWF one match at a time what it's like to be owned.

The young man known as Jordison first entered the RCWF just like everybody else, searching and seeking for a chance to become a big name and be remembered for years to come in the RCWF legacy. His first arrival from CNX to RCWF resulted in a short stint to which he floundered and continued to work in the lower ranks, proving himself each and every week that he could become a top player.

It wasn't until the GCW promotion in 2004 when Jordison finally began to break out and become noticed. His midcard championship wins had been decent to this point, but his involvement in the Man of the Globe Tournament is what did it for Jordison. The midcard newcomer won the very first tournament, then won the next two consecutively! It wasn't until Eliminator defeated him three months down the road that he was finally dethroned as the MOTG Champion, but Jordison's triple header as the king of MOTG will never be overlooked.

His rivalry against Nosferatu can also be accredited for bringing him up to the mainstream in RCWF, contributing both the careers of Jordison and Nosferatu together as they rampaged for five long years in numerous match types and bloody brawls. This long rivalry wouldn't end until the two massacred one another in a match in 2005's NGPW promotion.

Then finally, his World Heavyweight Championship arrived! In 2005, Jordison defeated Nathan Moore to win the NGPW World Heavyweight Championship, more than five years after he debuted as an idolizing Slipknot fan named "Joey Jordison."
His alignment with Moore Peters in the New World Order kept him in the "know-how," but it was in 2006 when Jordison officially declared his retirement from the wrestling ring, leaving behind a classic story of bright-eyed rookie working the hard way to become a main event player in a handful of years.

There was hardcore in RCWF before the arrival of Khaos, as in steel chairs, steel ring posts, ring bells and tables; but there wasn't HARDCORE. From the moment Khaos filled out a contract, he changed the RCWF forever. What he brought through the door were some of the most ingenious items and weapons you could ever imagine, especially for the time.

It wasn't uncommon for Khaos to bring out a cactus, bed of nails, bucket of piranhas, light tubes and C-4 exploding tables to the ring with him and laugh the entire time while he punished his own body, and his opponents. Now that his prime has come and left well over six years ago, it's hard to sometimes remember and look back at what Khaos exactly did for the RCWF, but make no mistake, he paved the way for future extremists later down the timeline.

His hardcore philosophies in his matches earned him the moniker earlier on in RCWF's history as one of the most dangerous men to step into the ring with. This also carried on when he captured his share of championships in the promotion all throughout his career.

If that weren't bad enough, often times Khaos would team up with one of his two brothers: Mercury or Ethan "Lunar" Darke and the pain would be brought twice as much. The bloodbaths that were the early hardcore matches in RCWF will always be remembered as brutal, too much to handle and the origin of all things extreme for the RCWF promotion.

From his manager, the Fat Bearded Lady, to his infatuation with Kaylie Martinez and using bed of nails and explosives, Khaos quickly rose to fame as a very unique and interesting competitor in the ring, and a laid back and easy going guy in the locker room. For this, Khaos deserves all the credit in the world in the Hall of Fame.

"The Black Bird" is probably the most recognizable figure in all of RCWF's long history. From the mask of tragedy to the black trenchcoat and the irritable attitude, Krow's reign of pain started very early on the RCWF timeline. From his numerous reigns as World Heavyweight Champion, to his very own match creation dubbed the "Krow's Match," the man has been there and done it all when it comes to achieving greatness in the RCWF.

Krow's first World Championship came at an unexpected time. A house show booked between then-champion Nick Crimson and the young and determined Krow. In the end, Krow would end up raising the title belt for the first time in his career, but it wouldn't be the last. On January 1st, 2002, Krow would win an open invitational to win the World Championship yet again, defeating Dark Angel in the finals. He would hold onto the belt until losing to John Kaos on April 9th, 2002.

His mean spirit, angry temper and constant arguments would give him a bad image when it came to his reputation backstage, so he wasn't very well liked by the mass majority of RCWF's roster to say the least. Those who could overlook his faults there still respected the man for what he had been through in the RCWF and what he was able to accomplish. From some of the most extreme matches caught in RCWF to classic confrontations between Thaddius and himself, it was all true gold RCWF at its finest.

Despite his likeness to former friend and partner Chris Craven, Krow continued to stay and work in the RCWF, and as years passed on, his accomplishments and fame grew widespread. Krow literally started to become, as previously stated, one of the most recognizable names in RCWF, if not the most.

Krow entered the Hall in 2002, but that doesn't stop him from still cracking skulls.

The brother of Khaos and Ethan "Lunar" Darke entered the RCWF in the earlier era with Khaos and the two quickly became a force to be reckoned with when they did team up. In his solo career, Mercury rose to fame faster than his two brothers, catching onto the World Heavyweight Championship and aligning himself with Outlaw to create their own version of the nWo Wolfpac. Their trademark quickly became that of stuffing their opponents into body bags and mauling anybody in their way.

Of course, being of the same blood to Khaos has its advantages. Mercury was ruthless in the ring, resorting to all types of measures to ensure that he got the win. Often times, he'd bring weapons into the ring in a regular match and use them even though he knew he'd get disqualified. If you ask anybody who was around for the first era of RCWF, they will tell you that one of the most dreaded finishers in the promotion was Mercury's "Mercury Rising," which planted many opponents into the canvas during his time as champion and then some.

Mercury can also be accredited for starting out the North American Title division, his name being synonymous with the championship in itself. Mercury held the title belt longer and more times than any other person in RCWF history. Mercury helped guide the early RCWF into its booming period and his career ended right before, as he retired from the wrestling world after having achieved everything he thought he could do.

Unfortunately for that, Mercury has never been a more memorable competitor in RCWF because of his early retirement. If he had stuck around a few years more he might've become just as popular as other Hall of Famers. Regardless of this fact, Mercury's domination in the earliest years of RCWF and his accomplishments will not be overlooked. For that, this big man has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Michael Juskiw and The Road Dogg became the very first team in RCWF history to become exactly that: a team. Others had paired up for short stints and then broke apart, but MJ & Dogg had become the very first duo that stuck together through thick and thin. It was partially this reason why the two were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The decision wasn't made until mid-2009 to induct the two together as a tag team because their sole induction was primarily for starting out the RCWF Tag Team division. As you'll read, Khaos gave us a little of his extreme methods, while Mysterio jumpstarted the cruiserweight side of things. MJ & Dogg gave us our very first memorable tag team, and with talents to boot! Not only did they dominate in the early days when tag team wrestling was at a bare minimum, but they'd later go on to become prestigious singles competitors as well.

Road Dogg would leave the wrestling world in 2001 after achieving several solo championships in his short time in the RCWF, but MJ was far from finished. He'd continue on a path of destruction in the RCWF, feuding with Poizon which led to the man being ran over in a vehicle in a parking lot brawl at one point. Juskiw would help guide the RCWF into winning status with his undercover work as "Matt Flame" in the BSTW Wars of 2001. He'd win the BSTW World Championship and help seal the BSTW's fate by bringing the belt to RCWF territory.

As time went on, MJ continued his career without any second thought to Dogg and continued to create his own solo legacy in the promotion he had helped launch start. In 2008, MJ returned full-time to the ring and began to rock and roll. He immediately capped a new U. S. Title win, only to be defeated by his own returning partner, Road Dogg for the belt! The two would bring the house down at Wrestlemania VIII in a 30-Minute "Iron Man Match" which was brought to overtime!

Nathan James first entered the RCWF in late 2000 after finding out through the BSTW promotion. He would officially be the first of the three James Brothers to arrive on the RCWF timeline, although his career wouldn't get taken to the peak until the PPW Wars of 2001. His first World Championship came unexpectedly when he won a multiple man "Casket Match" for the RCWF brand in the PPW Wars. From that time on, Nathan James would continue to serve was a nonchalant main event player for the RCWF.

The career of Nathan Jams would only get bigger and better as time went on. In NRCW and GCW, Nate James was constantly in the big picture, with numerous World and Federation Championships locked around his waist. In 2004, he'd do the impossible and eliminate Thaddius with a superkick, sending his own friend and ally out of the ring to win his very first Royal Rumble! At Wrestlemania V, he faced Guy Silencine in the first ever "Ultimate X Match," where both men pulled the World Championship down at the same time, and Nate was given the Federation Championship as a brand split occurred after this night.

His career began to wind down by 2005, serving only as a guest appearance here and there, and almost always seen at the side of Thaddius. The two had been through it all together, from hardcore brawls to teaming up against their sons.

From the New World Order to The Coalition, James spent the better half of his career continuously being the "right hand man" to the CEO.

His greatest challenges and rivals came in the form of not only his own brothers: Scott Toker and The Eliminator, but Guy Silencine as well. Nathan James has always had phenomenal matches, whether it be a "Texas Bullrope Match" or any other kind of competition. One thing is for sure, the first night Nathan James accepted an RCWF contract and rejected the World Title shot, his fate was sealed.

When Nathan Moore first appeared in the ring in 2005, many wondered if he could top the accomplishments of his own father, the already-inducted Nathan James.

His career first started out alongside his partner and best friend Tad Peters, but eventually revolved around himself getting singles exposure as a main event player. His win at the 2005 Royal Rumble gave him his first launch up the ranks to face Peters at Wrestlemania VI for the World Heavyweight Championship, a match in which he won.

Nathan Moore would go on to capture several more World Championships in his career, and would even dominate the rival IWA promotion's 2005 Royal Rumble and earn their World Heavyweight Championship before IWA owner Christopher Craven reversed the decision on everything that had happened.

Along with Tad Peters, Nathan Moore would represent the black & white colors of the New World Order for the better half of the NGPW promotion's existence and allowed other members like Trent Reign, Mike Theory, Brian Aguirre and Kayen Storm to also join the group as time went on. His rivals against his own partner, Roz, Trent Reign, Cody Miller and Christian cage were some of the most epic battles in the NGPW timeline.

As Moore's career continued to stretch on, he and Peters began to accumulate a great career as a tag team unit. Together, Moore Peters held down the tag team division in RCWF between the years of 2005 and 2008 with their talent and luck. In the 2009 Royal Rumble, both Moore and Peters eliminated one another at the same time, giving RCWF its very first co-winners of the Royal Rumble event.

Many now claim that Nathan Moore achieved more than what his father did before him, its a constant argument. Regardless of that, Moore is now a second-gen HOF.

The cocky and arrogant Nora Greenwald first entered the RCWF and somehow knew that she would become a big time player in the promotion before she even started! It wasn't very long before she won her first Women's Championship and began dominating the female's division with wins left and right. Her talents in the ring would definitely make her a presence during the time.

She would soon find that competing against men wasn't too hard, either. She often times would compete in the men's division, fully expecting to get awarded with their championship belts as well! She had become one of the more recognizable faces in RCWF during the years of 2001 and 2002. Her time spent in the 2001 Royal Rumble was almost well worth it, until a conniving Chris Jericho eliminated her out of the match as the last participant.

She was also the only female participant in the "Remember RCWF Match" at Snowbrawl 2001 and she lasted quite a while, despite being surrounded by so many men in the very same match. Some say that she deserved to carry the attitude that she did simply because of what she was able to achieve in such a short time, but others found her to be rude and despicable.

She would soon retire from the business after having come "this close" to winning the World Championship and move on with her life. That would've been the case until the 2009 Royal Rumble when Nora Greenwald made a surprising return for the first time since being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004! She quickly began an attempt to derail Marri Tribal, who looked to be the next rising star in the women's division. Greenwald's efforts in the Rumble once again, but she would later get her revenge alongside partners Lisa Marie Varon and Rita Caliendo by winning the Women's Championship from Tribal on July 3rd, 2009. Say what you want about Nora Greenwald, but her accomplishments have landed her on the map in the HOF.

The classic big man in RCWF's history. Outlaw first came and destroyed, using his sheer size and strength to capture wins over his hapless opponents at every corner. Back in the beginning when being of a normal weight and height was average, the playing field of opportunity was wide open for Outlaw. This led to him getting championship victories in RCWF's early era and a whole lot of success.

His allying with Mercury served for some of the earliest moments of group domination, as the duo would come to the ring and promise to put their opponents in a body bag after they had beaten them down to a bloody pulp. Outlaw would use his trademark glass baseball bat to often times seal the deal in cases when his own physical leverage couldn't help get the job done.

Outlaw was known as an easy going, laid back kind of guy and was friendly to everyone in the locker room, enjoying the fact that he could rib and play jokes on anybody and there'd be quite a laugh. Once you got his game face on and he was staring at you across the ring, however, it was a totally different story. His all-around domination of the ring in RCWF's earliest years lead to a couple more years, but by the time the PPW Wars had begun in mid-2001, Outlaw had already started to call his career in wrestling quits.

A few special appearances from Outlaw would happen here and there throughout RCWF's history, like his 2005 Cyberslam appearance, originally scheduled to face current champion Batista for the World Heavwyeight Championship, but was changed to Tad Peters instead. Outlaw has served as a backstage agent for a lot of these years, staying very much a part of the RCWF tradition, but prefering to use his talents behind the scenes.

Nowadays, this big man has returned with a vengeance, dropping foes like flies.

Back in the early days, Rey Mysterio tagged along for the ride that was RCWF. He joined Bret Hart, Thaddius and "Hollywood" Hogan in the early endeavors to create the promotion and keep it afloat before anyone else. Mysterio quickly rose up the small ranks that there were and helped keep those small RCWF shows afloat by keeping up with his commitments of showing up to the shows and doing his part.

In return for his help and loyalty, he was given several opportunities at the RCWF World Heavyweight Championship and got himself thrown into the middle of the huge rivalry that was Thaddius and Bret "Hitman" Hart at the time. The underdog came out the victor a few times, and as the RCWF began to expand slowly he found other avenues of success in the lightweight divisions.

He is accredited for being one of the most brilliant and talented high-flyers to ever grace the squared circle in real life, and the same could be said for his career in the RCWF. He added dazzle and awe to the matches that were all about suplexes and wristlocks. Just like how Khaos added another layer to RCWF with the extremism, Mysterio added another height to the RCWF with lightweight athleticism, paving the way to allow future cruiserweight stars to enter the promotion later down the timeline.

Rey Mysterio's career would get ended shortly and he was out of the business within a few years. It was for this reason that he hasn't really ever received a whole lot of credit and recognition for what he did earlier on. When the RCWF finally started to enter the boom period and all of their hard work began to pay off, Mysterio had already been gone for several months.

One can only wonder if Rey Mysterio Jr. could ever come back to see what happened to the RCWF and how far it has come since those early years.

The man who hails from Brooklyn, New York began his career out as yet another rookie, much like you'll read about in the rest of these Hall of Fame biographies. His fate immediately became intertwined with Dan Shoryu's, when the duo were placed into a tag team match and found that they could actually work well together as a tag team. Much like Shoryu, Roz's career began as a tag team performer and then later on he'd achieve success as a singles competitor.

After a falling out between the two, they competed against one another in a steel cage match at Wrestlemania III which stole the show. It was at this point when the crossroads occured and Roz officially began his singles career. After obtaining several midlevel championships like the Continental and Intercontinental Championships, Roz would win his first World Heavyweight Championship when he defeated both Rac and Tad Peters in a triple threat match at 2001's Great American Bash pay-per-view! His reputation for having long, incredible matches would then begin to frame his career, as seen at Homicide 2002 against the Bradleys!

Shortly thereafter, Roz would begin to take a leave from the business, resulting in several long absences between the years of 2003 and 2005. His on-again, off-again career left him enough time to work his art and ensure that the one day that he did return after his sabbatical, that he would rampage through the competition like he had never done before!

This leave of the wrestling world would continue to take place until Roz finally got serious about competing again. This time, he returned in mid-2005 during the NGPW promotion and the hurricane known as Roz began to destroy everything and everybody in his path! He quickly won several World Heavyweight Titles, defeating Nathan Moore and Christian Cage respectively and by that time, had achieved enough to be nominated into the Hall of Fame in Fall 2006.

Where Rey Mysterio Jr. open the gates of the RCWF with his high-flying and quickness in his matches, Shaggz took that same ball and went miles with it. By the time Steve Dope, a complete fan and idolizer of Insane Clown Posse, arrived in the RCWF, it had been months since Mysterio retired.

During the BSTW Wars of 2000, a lot of the regulars on the RCWF roster left for BSTW, leaving a huge dent on the roster. In an effort to qualm what was happening, Thaddius opened up a huge recruiting drive. It was this very recruitment drive by Thaddius to find the "next generation of superstars" that led to Dan Shoryu, Roz, Shaggz, Rainer, Gregg Martin and others finding their way into RCWF's legacy. Shaggz quickly became a fan favorite and his laid back style earned him a lot of friends during his time in RCWF.

When not wrestling, he would love to shamble down to the commentating booth and join The Dude for a couple of matches, always finding the appropriate negation to everybody's character name just to mock them. Shaggz' first run at the World Championship would be in January 2001. He had just won a #1 Contendership Match and now looked forwards to facing Thaddius for the World Championship at a pay-per-view that he could pick. "Anarchy Rulez" would be Shaggz' pick and rightfully so.

It was on this night that Shaggz defeated Thaddius, fulfilling this honor a lot sooner than others had in the Hall of Fame. From this point on, Shaggz continued to be a leading force in the RCWF, whether it be in the Lightweight division, taking part in ladder matches or dominating the tag team scene with his group called "Da' Original Gangstas."

Shaggz was a jack-of-all trades in RCWF, and for that he joined the HOF in 2004.

When Khaos' active career finally came to a complete end, it was time for someone new to pick up the reigns as the hardcore mastermind and many will say that Rainer Crimson did a pretty good job of carrying that on, but there was also Simon Dope.

Where many hardcore athletes in the past resorted to certain unique measures, Dope actually brought in some likeness of CZW, ECW and XPW into the RCWF. We hadn't seen the type of barbwire, light tubes and concoctions Dope brought to the ring before his coming, even though Khaos had been busting himself and people open for years prior to Dope's arrival. It was Dope's invigoration that gave all of his matches a type of "independent" kind of feel anytime he wrestled.

He wasn't too big on being a regular wrestling athlete, he was just out to create this biggest pop he could with whatever he could find. It was this type of chemistry that truly gave Simon Dope and every match he was in the kind of effect like you were watching the XPW take place in the middle of the RCWF wrestling ring. From his fascination to fireworks and roman candles, to his brutal shots with steel pipes, it was Simon Dope that was becoming quite a threat to all hardcore competitors between 2001 and 2003.

It seemed as though as quickly as Simon Dope entered the RCWF, it was that quick in which he left. During his time in the RCWF, he did manage to rack up several championship reigns. A World Heavyweight Championship he defeated John Kaos for, and also teaming with that same man to win the Tag Team Championships.

In the short amount of time he was here, Dope certainly did put himself on the map. In 2008, Dope returned to the RCWF and looked forwards to busting heads all over again while coming back for a final run to prove that he was HOF worthy.

What made Team WOY so sexy? Well, it sure wasn't Ralphus. You'd definitely have to point all fingers at WOY's leading lady friend: Stacy Keibler. Not only was she an eyesore in and out of the ring, but she helped WOY get several wins with her trickery. At one point, word even started spreading that she could've even been the leader of the entire group!

She first arrived on scene was a humble manager for the group, but she eventually found herself getting on the card more and more as an active wrestler. This led to her reigns as the RCWF Women's Champion on separate occasions. Her friendship with Torrie Wilson and Ascenia was common knowledge around the years of 2001 and 2002. You wouldn't see one without the other and even when the two had to face off for the Women's Championship at one point, they barely love-tapped one another!

When she was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004, she was joined by fellow friend Ascenia and they entered the most prestigious honor in all of RCWF, just like they had been beside one another throughout their entire careers. Her accomplishments both at ringside and in her matches made her one of the most popular female athletes during this time in RCWF.

Helping guide the numerous members of WOY to championship victories, Keibler certainly made herself a presence during this time. In one popular moment in RCWF's history, she was kidnapped by Tad Peters & Adam Browne and held hostage for the Bradley Brothers' Tag Team Championships. In a heroish comeback, the Bradleys retained their World Tag Team Titles and saved the day, rescuing their friend from the cage that was hanging up above the ring.
It is definitely no wonder why she was able to achieve Hall of Fame status.

The man who established it all. Is there really anything else to say? Who else can claim that they started a promotion and even after ten years, it's still running like a clockwork? If it weren't for this man getting mocked at and told that "he couldn't do it" then none of this would even be around. It's true that members also help make the legacy what it is, but not one person in RCWF's history can say that they sat at those events every single night, week-in and week-out, and ensured that the promotion was running smoothly. Not one person except for Thaddius.

Being around for almost the entire time also has its major advantages! Thaddius was able to rack up several championship titles and event victories throughout his prestigious career. He was the first person in RCWF history to win the World Heavyweight Championship, and he'd later go on to win it several more times.

The earlier part of his career consisted of feuding with Bret Hart and Rey Mysterio in an attempt to keep RCWF afloat in the beginning. As time went on, he found himself actually taking advantage of his role as CEO, using it to strike down his opponents through the years. It wasn't uncommon for Thaddius to plan out giant hit-squads, ordering certain members of the roster to come out unexpectedly and attack his rival in one of his matches.

He was also a master manipulator and would later be known as the "Ultimate Mastermind," for obvious reasons. His stints as leader of The Coalition, The Corporation and the Thad Family were super-charged, with legions of competitors following the boss at every step.

Thaddius believes that his intentions are the only way to achieve anything, and that anybody who thinks otherwise simply must be "dealt with." In an effort to get what he wants, Thaddius does whatever it takes to get the job done at any cost.

The most controversial addition to the Hall of Fame would have to be The Eliminator. His early days in RCWF back in 2001 consisted of leading a group of men called "L.O.D." to the ring. Among his crew were Loatar, Stick Boy and Duran Slade, among others. The group would terrorize the ring and eventually feud up against Eddie Guerrero's Latino World Order. The two groups would settle their differences in a giant gauntlet match that took place at 2001 Snowbrawl.

After this brief appearance, Eliminator wouldn't reappear until mid 2003 when the PPW Wars had ended and the NRCW promotion had began. Almost immediately, Elim became a well thought of presence backstage, showing his superb talents at helping with the website and providing graphical logos and pictures that looked professional. To this day, some of Eliminator's work can still be seen used in and around the RCWF.

It was around this time that Eliminator finally began to achieve great things in his solo career. He was a member of Team WOY for a short time, dubbing himself the "Backbone" of the group, but was later dismissed. In retaliation, Elim created his "TNR," or The New Revolution. The TNR group manhandled the NRCW and GCW promotions between '03-'04, with almost every member of the group holding title belts. Eliminator's biggest achievement would take place in 2004's GCW when he dethroned Jordison as MOTG and also defeated Guy Silencine for the World Heavyweight Championship, ending his streak at over 100+ days.

Eliminator had some issues and left the RCWF to begin his promotion, and it wouldn't be the last time. He would go on to set up multiple promotions in the future, leading to some hostility from the RCWF. Despite his choices in the end, Eliminator was placed into the Hall of Fame in 2004 for all of the accomplishments he had achieved between 2001 and 2004.

Todd "Acid" Reign is probably one of the earliest wrestlers to be added into the Hall of Fame, but one of the latest to be added. Todd's career started in early 1998 when he first joined as a young, punk-mouthed anarchist who defied the rules and did anything he wanted. Whatever he did back in those early days surely worked for him, because he soon began making dominant runs in just about all title paths.

Todd quickly became a United States and Tag Team Champion in a matter of a year, lambasting his opponent and rising to fame. He also helped several newer stars out with their careers and his reputation as "the guy to help you" increased as time went on. Todd Reign can be accredited for helping both Guy Silencine and Adam Browne learn their way around the wrestling ring in the RCWF.

In 2001, Todd Reign's campaign for the World Championship came to new heights when he became the challenger for "Hollywood" Hogan's title belt. A huge battle now began with Todd Reign standing at one corner and Hogan and his nWo cohorts standing on the other. In an amazing turn of events, Reign would defeat Hogan in a cage match, and captured the RCWF World Championship! It wasn't his first and wouldn't be his last.

Todd Reign was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006, over four years since he had last been seen in the ring. To many, it was a long time coming and for Todd Reign, a dream finally come true. This wasn't the last time we'd see Todd Reign; however.

His appearance at Halloween Havoc 2008 would surprise the entire RCWF in his first actual signing with RCWF since 2001. He defeated Trent Reign, "the other Reign" for the World Heavyweight Championship and his mark on RCWF was once again left. Todd Reign was there for the beginning, and knows what RCWF's all about.

X-Fighter was the first person to be inducted into the RCWF Hall of Fame who had not won a World Heavyweight Championship, which is one of the requirements for the men's division. Andrew Hernandez was a friend who was well liked by just about everybody he came in contact with while he was in the RCWF. His closest friends would remember him as the humorous type, always enjoying cracking up a joke, even when it was about his own character.

He passed away on October 14th, 2004 after battling with cancer his short life. The morning of his death, word spread like wildfire through the RCWF community, and quickly a memorial show was held in his honor. It was first the decision of Nathan James, Guy Silencine and others to induct X-Fighter into the Hall of Fame, despite not qualifying for the means, but in the end it was absolutely the right thing to do, so that his old friends could always remember him and the next generations of RCWF could always see what a true friend he was.

The X-Fighter character wasn't totally overlooked, however. He was well on his way to climbing the ranks after constant feuds against Mortis, Adam Browne and others. His involvement with Eliminator's TNR propelled him from just another rookie into a recognizable foot soldier with title reigns he could be recognized for. His battles with The Zombie earlier on in his career helped mold him into what he'd become years down the road.

After 2004, the X-Fighter character has been carried on as a staple in RCWF to honor and remember Andy himself. In 2009, X-Fighter did the impossible and won the Deadly Games event, even with four brands involved in the entire show! His affiliation as The Eliminator's right hand man goes without saying and his loyalty to the RCWF knows no bounds. The life of Andy Hernandez might have ended in 2004, but the storied career of X-Fighter in the RCWF lives on in his memory.
