The First
Brian Aaron Nadalny better known by his ring name The First is an American professional wrestler currently competing in EPW and A1E. His gimmick is born from his real life belief in reincarnation, paranormal events, and spirituality. He alleges that he is the first soul to ever enter into a human being, and has existed in various incarnations for roughly 6,000 years.
History
The First spent his life in the North Shore of Massachusetts. At the age of 16 he had epiphany brought about from a series of dreams after a past life regression, in the dreams he saw himself amid a group of humans who did not show the spark of a soul in their eyes, he was the only one who had undergone ensoulment. Over time others in the group began to show they had souls also and thus what we know of as humanity began.
With this knowledge, he managed to convince his friends in high school of this fact and began calling himself and being addressed as "First" or "The First". Around his 18th birthday he began training at Supreme Wrestling Academy in Boston. After 2 years in school he worked local New England based leagues for a year before getting a call to UCW.
In UCW The First quickly established himself as one of the top stars of the company, debuting with a win over Jonathan Marx, he went on to win the UCW World Title in a three way dance with Dan Ryan and Irishred. After holding the belt for a while he lost it to Irishred in a Last Man Standing match, in which First was tied up the ropes and then repeatedly and brutally chairshotted in the head by Irishred. First returned and was the ref when Irishred retained the UCW World Title over Jonathan Marx. Then in a Multi-way Steel Cage match for the UCW Title, First again won the title from Irishred, before the company went out of business.
First wasn't seen for a while before resurfacing in EPW, this time with a tag partner who was a masked man named 'Dope' who would end up revealing himself to be Felix Red. The team sputtered in it's attempts at gaining an EPW World Tag Team Title Shot, and then finally broke apart with Felix revealing himself, but they quickly reformed and then defeated The Proletariat for the EPW World Tag Team Titles. After that the Forsaken went on a 15 month run with the titles, before finally losing them to Jared Wells and Larry Tact of Anthology
During his time as tag champion, The First challenged EPW World Champion Sean Stevens to a match and was defeated, but only after having had Stevens pinned while the ref was knocked out, this match was an important turning point in First's career as it established him as a real contender for the EPW World Title.
When seeking another title shot The First had his promo interrupted by Cameron Cruise and the two ended up meeting for the EPW Intercontinental Championship a match that ended up with Cruise winning with aid from Copycat. After that match First tagged with Sean Stevens and they defeated Copycat and Cruise when Shawn Hart accidentally hit Cruise with the EPW World Title Belt.
After that match, a win over Shawn Hart, and a draw with Layne Winters, First again sought a title shot, this time seeking to be added to the main event of Russian Roulette but before he could stage his sit-down strike, he was attacked by former tag partner Felix Red, and is now set to face him in a street fight at Russian Roulette.
In A1E First has won his first three matches, a three way dance against Castor Strife and Mac Flasher. A six man tag, and then a conventional tag match. His next bout is a TLC match for the A1E Challenge Championship
