After wrestling in various promotions across America such as Ring of Honor and Internatioal Wrestling Cartel he would get an chance to join SFW by defeated Bruce "The Deuce" Maxwell an an tryout match. However he would be on an losing streak untin J.D. Bause would hold an Bistro in which was an lame duck attempt at reviving the Tag Team Division, he would find an equal and partner in Christopher Powell and togher, would bcome Impetuous Disaster taking on and defeating The Franchise and The Truth collectively known as The True Franchise.

[edit] ID vs. KB

The hottest Tag Team feud around at the time in SFW would go from September 2007 to January 2008. In the weeks leading up to City of Kings IV, iD and TKB would promo against one another, interfer in one anothers matches and promos. When the event finally came, using backstage politics and School Boy, Big Smooth Sonny would pin Rahab to capture the vacant SFW World Tag Team Championship.

However during the following months, The Don would use backstage politics to avoid Championship Defenses and eventually move to the Main Event at Exodus 2007 along with Steel, Tommy Polo and the (at the time) SFW US Brute Championship, Jim Rourke. During this match, Steel would win the SFW World Championship. However early in the night, the team of HaleTim, "The Jester of SFW" Harlequin and Tiny Tim Brown wold face in an triple threat handicap tag team match against Impetuous Disaster and Smooth Sonny with no titles on the line. By using the tandom finisher of The Knockaround Boyz, iD would steal the win. The next night, they would again beat TKB in an brutal Street Fight Match with no titles on the line however.

As Awakening approached, due to lack of interest by both The Knockaround Boyz and fans, Steel and Polo would invite ID and TKB to the main event. Steel would retain his SFW World Championship, as iD would steal the SFW Tag Team Championships with the aid of Christopher Powell new submission finisher. The next night on Underground, the former Tag Team Champions would submit Rahab to earn an return title shot, however due to once again an lack of intersted by TKB, they would not be on the PPV and would retire from SFW.

[edit] As SFW Tag Team Champions

During this time, Rahab would attempt to help another E-Fed known as Wrestling X Federation however, his attempts earned him an suspention until the Underground/Carnage AFTER One Night of Glory 2008. Prior, Rahab and Tommy Polo would engage in an series of promo feuding which was not only looked down upon by others, but completely ignored as well.

[edit] Rahab QUITS the SFW

After taking as much as he could from the The Corp at Supreme Federation Wrestling, Derek "Rahab" Wellings has choosen to QUIT the SFW. He has take his half of the SFW Tag Team Championships and left for greener pastures known as Pro Wrestling Council, inspecific Ultimate Wrestling Association. His wife Michelle Wellings of 18 years has joined his side, and followed him to greener pastures.

[edit] Life after SFW and the Pro Wrestling Council

Since leaving SFW, Derek and Michlle have both been working closely with Alexia Valentine and the Pro Wrestling Council. He heard about Busted Quad Wrestling Alliance, however the owners of BQWA feel PWC to be a threat and chose to waste hs time isntead of honoring him. However his efforts would not go unnoticed as a road agent of Enigmar Wrestling would notice him and give him a chance to prove his stuff. After only ONE appearance, he earned a contract as is now signed to Ultimate Wrestling Association and Enigmar Wrestling

[edit] Enigmar Wrestling

During his introduction, Ace Cannon, Sonny Williams, D.C., Alejandro Rodriguez, the last champions of MWE forced their into his introduction. Not taking crap from civilians, he reacted however MWE would over come him and he would be forced to break contact. The war with MWE is just beginning. His war would continue with MWE would be one sided as Derek and Michelle constantly would job out to MWEs' alumni talent. Several times throughout the tenure, Derek would be jobbed out for no reason except the MWE had all the backstage pull possible or his partner in his tag team matches, his opponent would not role play. As Star Struck approached and a second show loomed to come to Enigmar Wreswtling, Apocalyptic Pro Wrestling Championship owner and Micheal Scott (the owner of EW) would go into talks about combing. At Star Struck (EWs biggest and final Pay Per View) Derek would lose once more, and quit completely as he didn't hype his matches despite Mr. Scotts best efforts and promises to push him, Derek and many other talent could not be swayed into returning. Apocolyptic Enigmar Wrestling would close it's doors after three months of operation.

[edit] Extreme Wrestling Community

While recruiting affiliates for Pro Wrestling Council, having nothing better to do, both Derek Wellings and Alexia Valentine gave EWC a current affiliate of PWC a try. Dereks' first week was successful as he deffeateed Agnea in a squash match however he would lose his next match while Alexia won her first match despite not being a wrestler. Both were booked on Night of Champions X, Alexia with Dereks Aid would trade the 24/7 COmbat Championship back and forth with Mr. Strange throughout the night, nearly get arrest and killed (at once) but would miraculously compete in his match with Jade Dragon & The Gotham Knight. Unfortunately despite his best efforts again, not only did Derek manage to our role play both his opponents, but he clearly made better content then both. Jade Dragon would pull backstage strings and defeat Derek Wellings after throwing The Gotham Knight out. Derek and Alexia immedately left EWC for good.

[edit] Life After E-Fedding

Derek currently protects Alexia Valentine with Michelle Wellings in Pro Wrestling Council: Ultimate Wrestling Association. Tommy Polo and Derek have continued their feud along with their women Tracie Bottoms (Tommy Polos' GF) and Michelle Wellings getting into the fued as well. Derek is still currently looking for a new place to hone his skills, however the first hint of politics, Derek will continue burning bridges by quitting abruptly.

[edit] End of Pro Wrestling Council

Due to not enough people becomming interested in Pro Wrestling Council, as with many other feds before it, PWC & UWA closed their doors down in Febuary 2009, closing almost 9 months of operation. Tommy Polo, Alexia Valentine, Tracie Bottoms, The Masked Grappler among may other PWC:UWA Super stars disappeared. Derek attempted returning to Northern Championship Wrestling to mediocore success capture the NCW Extreme Championship and NCW National TV Championship at once. However he did not hold those titles long as his former partner and enemy Spike would regain the NCW Extreme Chammpionship and be stripped of the NCW National TV Championship. After being stripped, he would retire from Nothern Championship Wrestling. However this story does not end sadly as he was inducted into the NCW Hall of Fame on April 26, 2009. Currently Hells' Xtreme Championship wrestling has made him and Michelle an offer and they are currently employed in HXW. However after his first match, Derek & Michelle quit due to backstage problems with management and how once again poloticing is the way you win in HXC.

[edit] Retired... again

Once more Derek and Michelle sit on the sidelines anjoying life after fedding. They currently frequent NWAhowever after several arguements with management over his student Calypso both him, his wife and Calypso permanently left NWA days before a pay per view was to air. After a few weeks, at the behest of his student Calypso and his wife Michelle as well as his enemy Tommy Polo, Derek decided to make a return to NCW

[edit] Northern Championship Wrestling Round 3

After the behesting of his wife, student and enemy, Derek would make his return to NCW. After three matches, all of which he won, Derek would recieve what he's waited his ENTIRE life for: A World Heavyweight Championship shot. At NCW Terrior 2009, The Fixxer (Champion) and Derek would engage one another in a Colossal Cage, despite the beating he took at his enemies hand, Derek would land the Army Strong, and three seconds later win the NCW World Heavyweight Championship. After three long years, and many MANY feds that made him believe he was too old or too inexperienced or just flat out unworthy, Derek would win his FIRST World Heavyweight Championship, bringing a tear to his eye. He would defeat The Fixxer in a rematch along with Yosi "The Smark Boy" Hait and Black Wofl, however Judas Dathans would defeat him at World Tour Scottland. In World Tour: Germany, he would get his rematch against Judas Dathans, but also face off against RAIN and his so called partner, "The Living Legend" Mr. Torkkeli, a man he's never faced, the man who disbanded the Death Row Posse, his true home.
