	He came into the WWA in 2002, appearing on the scene just after the 2002 Labor Day Brawl. In his second televised WWA match, he won a shot for the TV Title. He failed in his first title shot, but came out the victor in a No DQ TV Title match. He defended the title at the Birthday ~~Brawl~~, but on his first show on PTC, he lost the title to Christyan Payne due to interference from a tag team called Mack Tenn. From that point up until [[Rage In The Cage]] VI, Adams fought to regain the title, but never got a shot.		He came into the WWA in 2002, appearing on the scene just after the 2002 Labor Day Brawl.

	At RITC, he barely lost a fatal four-way cage TV Title ~~match~~ to Grunge. From that point until May Revolution, these two had a heated rivalry, fighting back and forth over the TV title. There were other competitors, but Grunge was Nick's main target. It eventually blew up into a full-out All Wrestlers Banned From Ringside No DQ Submission match for the United States title. While Grunge won the match, Adams was suddenly tossed to the forefront of the fans' minds.		At RITC, he barely lost a fatal four-way steel cage match for the TV Title to Grunge.

It eventually blew up into a full-out All Wrestlers Banned From Ringside No DQ Submission match for the United States title.

	He wound up joining Grunge in the stable known as Youth United, working his way around the WWA with no real accolades of which to speak, until the Independence Day Rumble. He won that match, and hoped to get the World Title. To do so, he reinvented himself, making a "New and Improved" Nicholas Adams.

But after losing the World title shot and being taken out of the WWA on the following Meltdown by an injury, Adams went to the sidelines.

	He returned with a fury only a month and a half later, but was still feeling the effects of the damage. He fought his way through it, suffering wins and losses along the way. During this time, he had an intense battle with Tracer Bullet, mostly fueled by Adams's pranks and threats. Finally, Tracer struck back, and it began a downward spiral for Adams. Eventually, the feud went to a 60-minute Iron Man match inside a modified Elimination Chamber. Though intense, Tracer, managed to win by only one pin right as the match ended. Tracer then managed to defeat Adams in a match at the Bourbon Street Brawl, forcing Nick to leave the NWC, but not the WWA.

	Using this loophole, Adams managed to get back in to WWA competition. Unfortunately, he also suffered a concussion that gave him amnesia. He eventually came to believe that he was a vigilante crime fighter like Batman. As he had the nickname "The Rainmaker", it made sense.
