Ewan Edwards

Ewan Edwards (Born June 26, 1986) is an English Professional Wrestler, best known for his work in FWA and FTW. Ewan is currently signed to an exclusive contract with the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance.

Early Life
Ewan Edwards is one of the few people in the wrestling industry today who can claim to be "Born Into the Business". For over a century the Edwards Family had dominated the independent wrestling circuit across Europe, Japan and Mexico. Over the years Ewan's ancestors had amassed a collection of over 1000 different championships and awards from across the wrestling world. Despite their great success in the industry, the Edwards family never achieved mainstream notoriety. Due to their less than perfect physiques and refusal to adopt elaborate gimmicks, Ewan's predecessors were not considered "Marketable" in the world of Sports-Entertainment. This fact made Ewan very bitter from an early age, as he felt it was a great insult to his family name. This would prove to be one of the greatest driving forces in Ewan's career, as he trained intensely under his Grandfather, Edward and his Father, Ian for most of his life, so that one day he might become the biggest name in professional wrestling and restore his family honour.

At the age of 20, Ewan was discovered at an open tryout for the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, and instantly signed to a full contract.

A Debut To Remember
Ewan made his in-ring debut on July 22nd, 2006 at one of FWA's most prestegious Pay-Per-View's, Mile High. A ten-man, over the top rope Battle Royal was held to crown the first-ever FWA Television Champion. Ewan entered the match ninth as a surprise participant and shocked the world by eventually going on to win the match by eliminating the odds-on favourite, Dmac. But this impressive debut attracted the attention of the returning FWA legend Jack Of Diamonds, who attacked Ewan after the match, leading to a bitter rivalry between the two which would wage for the weeks to come.

Because of his instant championship status, Ewan skipped FWA's developmental show Smash and went straight to the company's flagship program Fight Night, where over the course of the months that were to follow, he racked up a series of impressive victories. Including decisive pinfalls over the young up and comer American Rebel, FWA Veteran Oblivion and in what many people considered an upset, top World Championship contender Jillian De Silva.

The Royal Family
By this point Ewan had earned himself one of the longest undefeated streaks in the history of the FWA, and in doing so, had earned the respect of FWA Legend and fellow Englishman, Hardware. Hardware was assembling a group of the most elite young talent in the world to form "Professional Wrestling's Royal Family", and Ewan had been selected to be his "Prince". So Ewan, along with Hardware, Jillian De Silva, Ashley O'Ryan, Thew Carvell and eventually Livewire formed a faction which in theory should have dominated the FWA, but for Ewan "The Royal Family" turned out to be more of a curse than a blessing, as his career suddenly took a sharp downward turn.

Shortly after forming The Royal Family, Ewan was scheduled to defend the FWA Television Championship at Trial By Fire. His opponent was meant to be Jack Of Diamonds, but due to Jack's mysterious disappearance from the company, the match became a triple threat match between Ewan, the undefeated Gourika Giannopopoulis and Juvenile, a member of The Royal Family's rival faction, Empire X. Trial By Fire would mark Ewan's first career loss, and also, the beginning of Ewan's most memorable feud (with the winner of the match, Juvenile). Seeking a measure of retribution following his loss at the Pay-Per-View, Ewan stepped into the ring with Gourika once again, in a match which Edwards would lose, but the result was ultimately overshadowed by the aftermath. Following the match, Gourika struck Edwards in the throat with a steel chair, crushing his larynx and putting him out of action for several weeks.

While Ewan was recouperating, The Royal Family was gradually dissolving. Hardware had retired, Jillian De Silva defected to rival stable The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and a rift was gradually forming between the team of Thew Carvell and Ashley O'Ryan. Ewan saw that something needed to be done. So as soon as he was healthy, he took over the role of "King" of The Royal Family. The first step in Ewan's plan was to get another championship around his waist, and conveniently an opportunity presented itself. A Hardcore Open Battle Royal was held for the vacant FWA Hardcore Championship, and just like his debut Ewan entered the match as a surprise participant, survived the gruelling encounter and won the match. But this time, he did so by choking out his arch rival Juvenile with "London Dungeon".

The battles between Ewan and Juvenile were some of the most intense the company had ever seen, and as a result FWA management decided to hold a final battle to see who was the best. They even created a brand new match for the occasion "Ladder In A Cage". On the night of the match, Juvenile had an altercation with FWA General Manager, Daniel Sinclair, who then declared that the match would become "All Or Nothing" The winner would become both Hardcore and Television Champion and the loser would be fired from FWA. After a long and gruelling match, which many called a Match Of The Year candidate, Juvenile was victorious and Ewan was forced to leave, with a standing ovation from the fans. Once Ewan was gone The Royal Family finally ceased to exist.

Semi-Retirement
In the months following Ewan's sudden departure from FWA, he was in a state of semi retirement. On several occasions, he tried to get his career back on track by working for a series of up and for coming new promotions. First, on the advice of his friend and mentor, Hardware, he agreed to join WP-World Fantasy Wrestling. But the challenge of promoting their first pay-per-view, New Era, proved to be too much, and the company closed before Ewan could even make an appearance. Shortly after this, Ewan became one of the first men signed to the roster of the new promotion Next Generation Wrestling. This promotion seemed to have high hopes for Ewan Edwards, scheduling him to face Chris Jericho in the first round of their World Championship Tournament at their debut show. But much like WFW, Next Generation Wrestling was forced to close before Ewan could debut.

At this point, Ewan made a brief return to FWA he made only two appearances during this run with the company, one at Back In Business in 2007, competing in a fatal four-way, North American Championship Number One contenders match, against Mountain Rush, Sean Moore and his old nemesis Juvenile. Once again Juvenile got the better of Ewan Edwards in this match. His second appearance was at the following Fight Night, where Ewan and his tag-team partner Rodel Montanez, were defeated by the team of Mountain Rush and Nate Richardson. Ewan left the company once again, following several arguments with management.

Full Throttle Wrestling
Despite the failures and setbacks, Ewan was granted one last shot to get his career straightened out. At the request of his long time friend and student Thew Carvell, Ewan took a chance on one more new promotion, Full Throttle Wrestling. Edwards quickly rose to stardom in this company, instantly earning the ranking of Number One Heavyweight in FTW, thus earning himself a place in the tournament to crown the first ever FTW World Champion. Ewan progressed through the tournament with impressive victories over Ace Spencer, and Thew Carvell, as well as competing in various traingle matches, tag matches and four corners matches (including numerous victories over his later World Championship opponent Jason "Diamond Jay" Guerrieri) on his path to becoming FTW World Heavyweight Champion. But at FTW's first Pay-Per-View Boiling Point, Ewan finally recieved his first World Championship opportunity. It was "The Legacy" Ewan Edwards vs Jason "Diamond Jay" Guerrieri in a two out of three falls match to crown the first ever FTW World Heavyweight Champion. A match which Ewan won decisively, picking up the second fall via pinfall using "Cruel Britania" and the third fall via submission using "London Dungeon".

Ewan lost his championship in controversial circumstances. In a title defence against Ravi Moon, the match ended with a simultanious "Double Pinfall" Thus making the match a draw. Under normal convention the champion would retain, but instead FTW management chose to strip Edwards of the belt.

Shortly after this occured, FTW went out of business. A new champion was never crowned. Ewan was officially the first and last FTW World Champion.

Ewan was (technically) undefeated in his FTW career.

FWA: The Legacy Continues
Following lengthy negotiations with the new management of Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, Ewan signed a new exclusive contract with FWA in October 2007. He is scheduled to make his in-ring return at Trial By Fire 2007, facing off against fellow returning veteran, AJ Hart.
