Rush Pro Wrestling (known better as RPW) was an angle wrestling federation based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The brainchild of Will Otto and Skylar Green as part of a larger group of companies linked for a singular purpose, RPW was the only project to come to Fruition. Pete and Mat were instrumental in making RPW a stand out among the other projects in the wrestling world.

Rush Pro Wrestling

A small, independent wrestling company founded by Rush Mason in Charlotte, North Carolina, RPW was at the forefront of a trend of smaller, non-touring wrestling companies in 2003 and 2004.

Championships

RPW Championship

A rarity in the world of Championships, The RPW Championship was not designed to be, nor thought to be an "end all, be all" championship, despite the holders of the belt being known as some of the best wrestlers of their day.

The Eclipse Championship

Founded to highlight and showcase the insane spot-fest activity of the lighter wrestlers on the roster, the Eclipse belt was thought of by some wrestlers as the belt in RPW.

The Mid-South Championship

A throwback to the NWA:Crockett and UWF days, the Mid-South Championship was all about wrestling, wrestling, and nothing but the wrestling, a direct opposite from the much spot and pop focused Eclipse Championship.

Owners

Despite it's short tenure, RPW had no less than three owners. Rush Mason and his benefactor were first, Mason being the on camera head of RPW, then suddenly selling the company to Little Al, rumored to be a second generation wrestler, and son of a very well known wrestler, seeking his father's approval. At 16 years of age, Little Al proved to be an incapable owner, and Rush Mason's benefactor, Xavier Kannon came forward at Adrenaline 18 to take over the company he founded, albeit as a defacto fedhead.

Kannon owned RPW until it's closure.
