BRACKLA, BRIDGEND [June 3rd 2003] The Rebel Wrestling Federation, formerly owned by the ncW and the TWF has been brought back as a joint venture by former owner Rhys Reed. Reed held a meeting at TWF Towers today with the xWa, including Douglas Edwards, Nathaniel Job-Smith and TWF Wrestler Mr. BIG to confirm the deal. The RWF has gained a contract with the xWa Network for a weekly show to be held on Thursdays.
The biggest surprise however is the signing of former TWF Creative Consaultant Ben Shottle, who has signed on the dotted line and is the co-owner of the brand with Reed. Shottle, currently employed by ncW was quoted to be ecstatic by the deal. He is also believed to have signed his friend The Assassin, of ncW, to the brand.
"The Third xWa Member, the RWF will hopefully have a brand strong enough to compete at Xtreme Intentions in October, and if we are really lucky, at Xtreme Overdose in a few weeks time" said Douglas Edwards, the owner of the popular Total Wrestling Federation company.
