He is currently signed to the Pro Wrestling FIRE promotion, under Aiden Bamford and Jay T. Nitro, where he has been working since January 2009, although he is currently on a wrestling hiatus. Noble is perhaps most known for his involvement with Jay Jefferson's Universal Wrestling League, and his current run in Pro Wrestling FIRE. Despite beginning his wrestling career as a tag team specialist, Noble has won various midcard titles, and two Heavyweight Titles in his wrestling career. He has wrestled mainly in the United States and Canada, but has also wrestled briefly in Mexico and Japan.

[edit] Early Life

Noble was born on April 8th, 1969 in Alberta Canada. He spent the younger part of his life hooked on wrestling, before moving to the USA when he was 15. It was there that Noble met a wrestler known as The Phenomenal Blu, who quickly became Noble's wrestling coach. He spent ten years working with Noble, perfecting his technical style.When Noble reached the age of 26, he was signed to his first ever wrestling promotion, Tough Enough Wrestling, with a recommendation from Blu.

[edit] Early Career (Early 2006- Late 2006)

[edit] Tough Enough Wrestling

Noble was quickly signed onto the Tough Enough Wrestling promotion,and was thrown into his first ever match, which would be for the vacant TEW Television Title match, in a for person Elimination Match. Due to a lack of interest in his character, Noble would be assigned a typical heel gimmick. While he would perform well, Noble would lose to a man named Inferno. Despite the loss, Noble would be given another title shot, in an Eight Man Elimination bout for the TEW Hardcore Title. However, Noble wouldn't fair nearly as well, and was eliminated first by a man who would impact Noble's future career more than anyone, Chris Cage. The following week, Noble was scheduled to face Inferno and Ben Scott in a tag team match-up, but it never took place. Noble also began to experience problems with management, mainly due to the fact that Noble was avoided being paid due to the federation facing foreclosure. After a short stay, TEW closed, leaving a sour taste in Noble's mouth, but that would change quickly.

[edit] American Wrestling Federation

After the fall of TEW, Noble was hired by a new federation known as the American Wrestling Federation. Noble would once again be given a title shot, this time being partnered with a man named Tariq. The two would surprisingly win the AWF Tag Team Championships in their first ever match teamed together. Things would get even better, as the two would join forces with the Volkoffs, another team in the AWF, making a faction known as "The Regime." The faction would be short lived, as the AWF was having management problems. Noble's last match would be teaming with another man who Noble would get to know, a man known as the AWF World Champion, Matt Mathews.

[edit] Slamtime Wrestling Coalition

2006 was turning out to be a whirlwind year. Noble would approach the Slamtime Wrestling Coalition, hoping for a job. He would sign a long-term contract with the company, along with new-found friend and tag team partner, Tariq. The two would compete for the SWC Tag Team Titles, but they would be bested by the team of Chris Cage and Brad Ramsey. Tariq and Noble would feud with the team of Ramsey and Cage, but they would be unsuccessful in their attempts. However, Noble would be entered into his first ever World Title match for the SWC World Title against Matt Mathews, Tim Harrison, Christian Kane (Cage was originally scheduled for the match, but was replaced by Kane), Pat Doyle, and Rick Calderez. Noble would be unsuccessful in the match-up, which would be won by future ally, Pat Doyle. Noble's contract with the SWC was bought out, and Noble was left without a job, once more. However, it now be time for Noble to abandon his tag team ways, and enter the singles division of wrestling.

[edit] Breaking Out (Late 2006 - Mid 2007)

[edit] Ultimate Vendetta Wrestling

Noble's next federation would be run by Pat Doyle, friend of Kurt Noble from previous federations. Noble's gimmick developed during this time, with a much more philosophical side shining through.. Noble would sign on, and would once again be thrown into a title match, a battle royal, this time for the UVW Technical Title, the mid-card title. Noble would silence his critics, and would win the match, winning his first ever singles title. It was here that Noble's heel gimmick really began to develop, and Noble's arrogance was shown through. Noble would criticize fellow competitor Chris Cage, which would lead to a six person tag match against the team of Cage, Calderez (who Noble also bashed), and Spandex Man (who Noble defeated for the title). Noble's team would end up losing, but Noble would be challenged by Rick Calderez. Noble would also introduce his then girlfriend, Amy Register, as his manager. Noble would have his first ever defense of a title again Rick Calderez, and after a close match-up between the two, Noble walked out with his title reign intact. This earned Noble his second ever title match, this time in the King of the Mountain Match for the UVW Title against Matt Mathews, Chris Cage, Masked Man (Blade), and Rob Hero. Noble received a concussion during the match after being thrown off of a ladder, allowing Cage to win. The next week, Noble was cleared to wrestle, and defended his tile against all comers across the next few weeks, finally defeating Calderez once again. Noble would even end up facing his own manager in a defense, in which she would be partially set on fire by Rick Calderez. UVW would collapse shortly after, leaving Noble as the last, and only, UVW Technical Champion.

[edit] Independent Wrestling Coalition

Noble's run in the IWC would be short-lived. Noble would end up only having one match with the IWC, against Matt Mathews. Noble would be defeated quite easily, due to management wanting to push Mathews as much as possible. Due to backstage issues, Noble resigned with the IWC after two weeks. However, Noble would meet future tag team partner, Rob Hero, in the IWC.

[edit] The Kingdom of Pride

After a humiliating run in the IWC, Noble was approached by Jeremy Sterling, with the idea of participating in a small federation. Noble was intrigued, and quickly signed on, along with a large portion of the UVW roster. Noble would be booked in the first ever Main Event, against "The Egyptian Dream." Noble would end up tapping out to The Egyptian Dream, a move Noble was furious with backstage, due to the Egyptian Dream having real life problems with the company, which lead to his departure directly after the show. Noble's next week would be a familiar return to tag team wrestling, as he was teamed with rival Chris Cage to go against enemies Blade and Inferno, who were feuding as well. The match would be for the vacant Kingdom of Pride Scramble Championships, titles the two would end up winning. Noble would end up attacking Inferno with a cane, and pinning Blade shortly afterwards. Inferno would become injured in the match (kayfabe),thanks to Noble's attack. Cage and Noble constantly bickered as partners, and bashed each other constantly. Noble would next be entered into a Hardcore Match against Blade, in which Noble would pick up a huge upset. Directly after, Noble was entered into a qualifying match against everyone on the roster, for a spot in the "Elimination Revolution" for the KoP Valiant Title. Noble would win the match-up, last eliminating Obscene. Noble's arrogance would only be stimulated with the win, and Noble walked into the match, his head held high, despite Cage and Noble losing the tag titles to Obscene and Christian Kane earlier in the night. Noble also enlisted the help of Jet Carrington and Moss Carrington beforehand, forming a faction between himself, The Carringtons, and Amy. Noble's World Title hopes would slip through his fingers, as Noble was eliminated last by rival Blade. However, Blade's first World Title run wouldn't last long.

[edit] Main Event Scene - The Pride vs. Grind War (2007-Early 2008)

[edit] Kingdom of Pride

The loss to Blade would devastate Noble, and Noble's character entered back into the philosophical state. The very next night, Noble would face Bonesnap in a match, in which he would win via DQ, when Noble would was attacked by Blade for revenge from previous losses. Noble would get another shot at the Valiant Title, and faced Blade and Cage in a "Pride Dome" match. Noble's hopes were finally achieved, and Noble defeated Blade and Cage, making Blade tap out, to win the KoP Valiant Title. The title would stimulate Noble's character, bringing back out his arrogance. It was here that Noble also shifted from his black/pink color scheme to black/gold. Noble would also put blond highlights in his hair. Noble's next match would be against Cage, who was entered into a "Best of Five" series against Blade. The match would end in a tie, as Pat Doyle would attack both men. This lead to a match-up for Noble's World Title, against Pat Doyle. Noble would win the match, further pumping his arrogance. However, Pride was having money issues, due to a delayed loan. Noble would defeat Doyle in Ladder Match on Pride's last show, going out as champion once more. The Carringtons would also win the Scramble Titles on that very show.

[edit] Return to Tough Enough Wrestling

Noble's return to TEW would be short-lived. Noble, who resigned before due to management issues, saw that nothing had changed. Noble was entered into a Battle Royal match for the TEW Heavyweight Title, and would be beaten by Cage. Noble, who was furious with management, due to lack of interest in Noble's character, quit on the spot, and vowed never to return to TEW.

[edit] National Wrestling Alliance - GRIND

Around Pride's collapse, Noble would sign on with Chris Cage's promotion. Noble would continue to hold the Valiant Title, and was entered into the Main Event match, a battle royal for the NWA Grind Heavyweight Title. The match would come down to Calderez and Noble, but Blood Pump, who was eliminated earlier in the match, would attack both Noble and Calderez, ending the match. It was then declared that a tournament would occur for the Heavyweight title match. Noble would lose his first round match, against real-life close friend, Delikado, who was scheduled to win the Valiant title before Pride closed. The two would wrestle in a "House of Cards" match (essentially, a ladders match with tables). Noble would be attacked by a copycat Kurt, who was the reigning United States Champion. The two would feud for the title, and at Grind's first ever Pay-Per-View, Noble would win the United States Title. Noble also participated in the Lumberjack match between Cage and Blade. Jeremy Sterling would attack Blade, giving Cage the win. This would spark a feud between Grind and Pride, which reopened shortly before the show. Noble would quickly attempt to resign with Grind (kayfabe), but due to being US Champion, it was deemed that he could not. Noble would reignite his feud with Cage, and proclaimed his allegiance to Pride in the War. Noble would quickly drop the title, due to a real life leg injury. Noble insisted on wrestling his last match in Grind, due to Grind losing their sponsors. Noble would defeat long-time rival Cage, despite the injury. Noble had actually insisted beforehand that he lose to Cage, but it was rejected backstage. Noble would leave Grind after the match, and the federation closed.

It was here that Noble would meet Robert Banks, and the two would discuss ideas for a wrestling promotion. Noble would help in production, but wanted to stay out of the spotlight. Thus, the project received no public marketing from Noble.

[edit] Return to the Kindom of Pride

Noble would return to the Kingdom of Pride about a month after its closing. Noble's title had been vacated beforehand, but Noble was entered into a match for the vacant title against rival Blade. Noble would end up losing once again to Blade, and Noble's gimmick was once again changed into its philosophical state. Noble would quickly become almost depressive, and would lose his next match to Pat Doyle, while Cage feuded with Blade in both Grind and Pride. Noble and Pat would soon become allies, despite a competitive rivalry. The two would form an alliance, and wrestled once more, to a draw. Pride would soon be split by Factions, and Noble joined a faction called "The Abandoned Ancestry", along with Christian Kane and Rob Hero. Hero and Noble would once again team up against rival faction members, Pat and Blade, who were part of the faction "Generation Revenge."

It was here that Pride and Grind arranged a 5 vs. 5 Survival Match, with Team Pride consisting of Sterling, Blade, Noble, Doyle, and Delikado. Team GRIND would consist of Cage, Mathews, The Phenomenal Blu, Calderez, and Andrew Mcguckin. The match would not happen due to creative differences, however.

Back in Pride, Noble's body was beginning to wear due to a nagging leg injury. Noble would lose the tag match, and next week, was betrayed by Abandoned Ancestry. Noble took a few months off, and he participated in physical therapy. Noble would return to Pride one last time, in his final match against Smart Mark, in which he would win. Pride soon closed, but Noble would hear from Sterling quickly after.

Noble and Amy would also begin to have real life problems, partly due to the sex segments she was in with Chris Cage, who Noble felt were unnecessary. The two eventually split, but remain friends. Noble even promised her a job in his new federation when it opened.

[edit] Samurai Sword

For the first time in Noble's career, Noble would show little interest in returning to the ring. Noble spent some time in Florida, healing his legs, and opting out of surgery. A few months after Pride closed, Jeremy Sterling called Noble, and asked if he would like a short-term contract with Sterling's new promotion, the "Samurai Sword." Noble, who was very hesitant, bought into the idea, and moved to Japan. Noble wold end up making his debut, attacking Christian Kane and a man named Talsin. Noble would then be entered into the the Ying Yang Championship match against both men, in which Noble would win. However, Pride's old debts caught up to Sterling, who quickly had to close down Sword.

[edit] Running the Quixotic Wrestling League

The fall of Sword prompted Noble to sign on several members of the Sword roster for the QWL. Noble also began to establish sponsors, while Banks controlled the management. Noble would also re-encounter Tim Harrison, who he knew from SWC. Nobe would offer Harrison a job back in the States, in which Harrison accepted. After many months of planning, hiring, and getting loans, the Quixotic Wrestling League opened on June 10th, to a rather large show. Noble made his first appearance on the show at Independence From Imagination, the QWL's first PPV. There, Noble presented the Paramount Championship to Obscene, who won it in the Main Event.

Noble had been set to begin making more weekly appearances. Noble made his first appearance on Pride following Independence From Imagination. At the beginning of the show, Noble completly erased the card that Robert Banks had made, and made his own, sparking conflict with Banks. The idea of a feud between the two had been discussed backstage, with Noble unsure if it would be a positive angle. Afterwards, Noble was the center of a worked shoot interview, curteousy of The Phenomenal Blu, after Tim Harrison and The Phenomenal Blu lost the Tag Team Extravaganza. Blu then slapped Noble backstage, and challenged him to a match-up on Pride.

However, following Independence From Imagination, an un-named sponsor of the QWL backed out, forcing the QWL into bankruptcy. Luckily, Noble and Banks were able to settle on a buyer, that man being The Phenomenal Blu. Noble and Banks sold Blu the complete rights to the company on August 17th. On Pride, at the start of the show, Noble announced that he would be leaving the QWL, and possibly going into retirement (In reality, Noble had wanted to step down from mainstream wrestling, and wrestle in smaller promoitons). The Phenomenal Blu was then announced as the new President of the company, wich would be renamed the Phenomenal Wrestling Organization. The new federation was expected to debut the 25th of August, but for unknown reasons, the promotion was closed before it was opened. Despite the closing, Noble praised Blu's managerial decisions.

[edit] A New Noble (Late 2008 - Early 2009)

[edit] Gate City Wrestling

After the close of PWO, Noble was scheduled to undergo surgery on both of his legs to correct a nagging injury that he had been tormenting him since NWA GRIND. However, Noble opted out of surgery, and instead chose to practice a new form of physical therapy instead. With the green light from his doctor, Noble signed on with the Gate City Wrestling promotion, alongside his new manager and advisor, Robert Banks. On GCW's first ever show, Noble won a battle royal, comprised of the GCW roster, to become the first entrant into the GCW World Title match in October. Following the revival show, Noble was scheduled to team with the Phenomenal Blu to face Johnathan Worthington and Doug Ozzy, but GCW's weekly deal was pulled, due to unpopularity.

[edit] Universal Wrestling League

Shortly after signing with GCW, Noble signed a long term with contract with the Universal Wrestling League. Noble stated that once his contract with GCW ran out, then his contract with the UWL would be amended to be an exclusive contract. Noble's advisor Robert Banks also signed a contract with the UWL. Noble made his debut by defeating Michael Lock in the opening bout of the Spercard Pure Agression. The On the September 25th TV Tapings, Kurt Noble pulled off the biggest upset of his career, defeating the 2008 Coronation Cup Winner and UWL Tag Team Champion, John Anthony. After the match, Anthony assaulted Noble, and the two scheduled a rematch for the Supercard Venom vs. Hunter II. After defeating Johnny Dalton at the September 1st TV Tapings, Noble and Anthony met once more. Before their match, Noble challenged The Phenomenal Blu and Anthony to a Tag Team match-up. Later on in the night, Noble and John Anthony wrestled to a draw. After their match-up, Anthony assaulted Noble, and Noble's new ally Peter Obermyer, with a steel chain. The Phenomenal Blu would join in on the asault, and accept the challenge laid down by Kurt Noble.

At the next TV Tapings, Noble finally explained the origins of his revolution, naming it the "Rise of the Common Man." In a huge twist, Noble declared that he and Obermyer would not be partners in the tag team match-up, and that Noble's new partner was none other than Flap Flanagan. Later that night, Noble was defeated via count-out by UWL World Champion, Robbie Venom, prompting Noble's first loss in the UWL. Noble's night would not end, as he was involved in a brawl consisting of himself, Flanagan, the new BTE (Shawn Stevens, Robbie Venom, Ciaran McConnell), against E.P.I.C.. At Southern Comfort, Noble and Flanagan defeated John Anthony and the Phenomenal Blu to win the UWL Tag Team Championship. Immediately after the match, Flanagan attacked Noble with a chair. After defeating longtime rival Obscene, Noble and Flap lost the tag team titles to the pair of Matt Mathews and The Phenomenal Blu. At the Three Year Celebration, Noble and Flap ended their feud when Noble defeated Flap Flanagan. It was announced later that night that the UWL woul take an "offseason", and would resume in early 2009. However, during the offseason, the UWL was closed down, ending the promotion.

[edit] The Common Man (2009 - Present)

[edit] Pro Wrestling FIRE

Noble is currently signed to the Pro Wrestling FIRE promotion under an exclusive contract. On the January 25th Internet Taping, Noble made his debut, defeating fellow PWF newcomer, Jake Steele. The following week, Noble pulled off a huge upset, defeatig PWF World Champion Reck Maverick, breaking his winning streak. That same night, Noble spoke with Leon Tyrell about facing The Collective, the PWF's newest faction, consisting of Jack Benevolence, Chunga, Dustin Douglas, Russell White, and "Mad Dog" Marc Maddux. The next week, after having a minor confontation with both Robert Banks and Russell White, Noble defeated The Dan in a match that lasted about 35 seconds. Noble would go on later that night to participate in a brawl between Leon Tyrell, The Hangman, and MacKenzie Tyrell against The Collective.

The next week, Noble would go on to defeat Dustin's bodyguard Marcus Maddux, but was attacked after his match-up by Dustin and Chunga. Dustin stated during the attack that he would rid Noble of his painkiller addiction (kayfabe). At the DVD Taping "Beat Your Heart Out", Noble defeated Dustin Douglas in a Dog Collar Match-up. The following week, Noble defeated Camel Alive in a singles match-up. After defeating both The Punk and former teamate Flap Flanagan in a match-up, Noble and Banks were attacked by Dustin Douglas and Russell White. The following week, Noble would defeat Flap in a singles match-up, extending his winning streak. After the match-up, Noble would once again be attacked by Dustin Douglas and Russell White, but he was saved by Kailus Holmes. After picking up a victory over Orge Lambart and newcomer Chris Pheonix, Noble and Kailus were seen backstage, shaking one anothers hand.

At the DVD Taping "The Chi-Town Scuffle", Noble and Banks defeated Russell White and Dustin Douglas in a tag team match-up. Noble and Banks also enlisted the help of former longtime manager Amy Register. At the Internet Taping XVII, the team of Kurt Noble, Kailus Holmes, and Leon Tyrell defeated the team of Adam Abel, Frankie Alix, and Dustin Douglas, with Jack Benevolence as a special guest referee. By securing the pinfall in the match, Noble guarenteed himself a shot at Reck's PWF Heavyweight Title at the upcoming DVD Taping. The following week, Noble and Kailus Holmes were scheduled to face Frankie Alix and Jack Benevolence, but earlier in that night, Kailus was brutally assaulted by Collective members. Noble attempted to have Leon act as a partner, but due to his furious assaults on Adam Abel and Jeof Caravelle, Tyrell had been removed from the building, leaving Noble to face them alone. However, Tyrell came to Noble's aid, winning the match-up for his team. The following week, after having tension filled conversations with both Amy Register, and Kailus Holmes' father, TJ Holmes, Noble made a return to singles competiton, defeating Cyanide.

On the PWF's 20th Internet Taping, Noble was scheduled to face Frankie Alix. However, before the match, Noble was involved in a massive beatdown by Collective members Adam Abel, Dustin Douglas, Frankie Alix, and Russell White. Noble would go on to refuse medical treatment, and with a bit of assistance from Banks, defeated Frankie Alix later that night.

PWF Heavyweight Championship

At the DVD Taping "Arch Enemies", Noble accoomplished the impossible by defeating Reck Maverick once more to become the PWF Heavyweight Champion. This win marked Noble's fifteenth undefeated match, and Noble's second legitamite World Title. While he did not wrestle, Noble made his "Champion's Address" at the 21st Internet Taping, stating that he would be coming for The Collective members, who had been hunting Noble all during the show, in the upcomings week. Later that night, a Four vs. Four Elimination match was made between The Collective and the team of Kurt Noble, Leon Tyrell, Kailus Holmes, and an unnamed fourth partner. The "Ultimate Survivor" would be named the new PWF Champion.

On his May 17th return, Noble defeated Collective member Adam Abel in the night's Main Event. After the tough match-up, Noble was handcuffed to the ring, as The Collective attacked Robert Banks, who had been drugged by Abel's manager Melanie Young. After being rescued by rival Reck Maverick, Maverick attacked Noble, joining The Collective in the process. Earlier that night, Noble also was approached by longtime rival/friend Christian Kane about being a part of the Elimination match at Inconcievable Actions. That next week, Noble teamed with Leon Tyrell to defeat Reck Maverick and Frankie Alix. Noble's tag team experience was shown once again when Noble teamed with old ally Christian Kane (and fellow Elimination Match competitor), to defeat the Collective team of Jeof Caravelle and Dustin Douglas.

At the DVD Taping Inconceivable Actions, Noble outlasted Leon Tyrell, Kailus Holmes, Christian Kane, Jack Benevolence, Jeof Caravelle, Frankie Alix, and Adam Abel to become the "Ultimate Survivor", thus, retaining his title. While he did not wrestle at the next Inernet Taping, Noble attempted to stop a Collective assault on Leon Tyrell, costing Tyrell his match in the process. It was then announced that Noble would defend his title against Tyrell at the DVD Taping "Pyormania." Since the event was held in Mexico City, the PWF Title gained World status.

Noble made his return, defeating longtime friend Delikado by submission. Earlier that night, Noble had a rather conflicted run-in with TJ Holmes, who accused Noble of abandoing his friends. TJ's assertions came to life later that night, when Noble was attacked by Delikado after accidentally blindsighting him in an attack on Jack Benevolence. Leon Tyrell, Noble's closest PWF ally, merely watched as the attack happened. The following week, Noble defeated Johnny Slayer. After he match, Noble was once again attacked by Jack Benevolence, and this time, Leon came to the aid of his ally. After the match-up, Leon acted as if he was going to attack Noble, but stopped before actually attacking him. Leon and Noble would have a joint interview the following week, and a confrontational staredown later that night. Before his match with Leon, Noble received a strange note from someone named ACM, warning him about the future should he not treat his leg injury. Noble would go on to defend his title at PyroMania against Leon Tyrell, successfully pinning him. The title achieved World title status due to the event.

After defeating Dustin Douglas at the next Internet Taping, Noble and Leon had a confrontation, which lead to a brawl between the two. The next week, at the historic 30th Internet Taping, Noble sucessfully defended his title against Delikado in the Main Event. Earlier that night, it was declared that Noble would defend his title against Leon Tyrell at the DVD Taping "Feel The Burn." Noble also accused Jay T. Nitro of being ACM, who responded by telling him that the person stalking him could be someone he knows quite well. The followong week, after once again being taunted by ACM, Noble and Tyrell were delcared to be under a "zero tolerance" policy after their brawls. This, however, did not stop the two from having another confrontation later that night. The following week, in a climactic Main Event, Noble defeated longtime rival Jack Benevolence. Noble also came out during Leon's match, effectively costing him the match. In response, after being jumped by Paul York after the match, Leon stole Noble's PWF Title, and ran off. However, Noble was able to regain the belt by defeating Tyrell at the DVD Taping "Feel The Burn." The two embraced after the match, as Paul York, the Ring of Fire winner, watched on.

After his title defense, Noble was once again mocked by ACM, who cited the wrestler's addiction to Oxycotton, and his increasing leg pain, as vital warning signs for his future. His comments caused Noble and Amy to have a confrontation the next week. After learning he'd face Jeremy Sterling and Paul Sant in a triple-threat cage match for the title at "The Price of Freedom," Noble defeated Orge Lambart. The following week, Noble taunted Sant and Sterling, telling them that they would need to become serious if they were to be legitamite competitors. Noble would receive the most shocking news of his career when he discovered he had about three months left to walk due to his deteriorated leg. The news caused him to lash out against Amy and Banks, all while cursing ACM. In a fit of furiousness, Noble defeated Zachary Bearg later that night. The following week, Noble verbally lashed out against Aiden Bamford and Robert Banks, as well as getting into an alteraction with a fan. Despite the distrations, and threats of being fired, Noble teamed with Paul Sant and Zachary Bearg to defeat Jeremy Sterling, Orge Lambart, and Mark Semmel. The next week, after getting into an altercation with Delikado, it was revealed, through a videotape, that ACM was none other than Kurt Noble.

In an effort to block out the enormous leg pain he faced, Noble's brain had created an alternate personality, called ACM, that had been leaving Noble notes throughout the months. Despite the emotionally devestating news, Noble retained his title against Jeremy Sterling and Paul Sant by escpaing the cage...but Noble's night was not over. Only moments afterwards, York cashed in his Ring of Fire title shot, and defeated Noble, becoming the new PWF World Champion. Noble's undefeated streak ended after 31 matches, as did his year long unpinned streak.

At the following Internet Taping, Noble announced his resignation from PWF (kayfabe). His alleged return date is unknown (In real life, Noble was given time off to establish the training school for PWF).

Hiatus

In-character, Noble is currently participating in drug therapy at the St. Rivera's Rehabilitation Center. Out of character, he is helping establish the PWF Training School. While his return date is unknown, Noble has commented on his return, saying "I've got some huge things planned for my return. We explored a lot of emotional and physical themes with the ACM storyline, and what I've got planned is going to an even stronger storyline, filled with even more twists and turns. Let's just say, the demons aren't all gone."


[edit] United Wrestling Company

Supermania 5

On April 11th, 2009, Noble was contacted by former UWL manager Bobby McManus in the interest that Noble would be a part of the PPV Supermania V, an event formerly hosted by McManus' old promotion, the United Wrestling Company. Noble agreed to take part in the event, which would be hosted live from The New Yankee Stadium in New York City. After much talk, it was decided that Noble would face former ACW World Champion Jake Steele at the show, after being challenged by Steele for weeks.

At the DVD Taping "Inconceivable Actions" Noble publically announed his match with Steele at Supermania, momentarily breaking character to do so. He was not punished by PWF management for doing so.

Before the event, both men spoke to interviewers about the match-up. Noble, determinded to push Steele to the limit, stated he knew that Steele couldn't beat him. Steele, in a later Supermania segment, stated how he knew he could beat Kurt Noble, and even attacked the interviewer Kevin Anderson.

Later that night, Kurt Noble defeated Jake Steele via Te Noble Neck-Breaker, securing his second career win over Steele. Noble has expressed interest in working more with Steele, but their exclusive contracts prevent either from working in outside federations, unless approved by their respective companies.


Summerfest

On August 19th, Noble was once again contacted by McManus, who, after Noble's participation in Supermania, had interest in the PWF superstar. After a private meeting between Noble and UWC management, Noble signed on to participate in Summerfest 2009, held on September 16th. He has also signed on to participate in multiple UWC shows throughout 2009 and 2010. After the meeting, Noble declared that it was decided that he would face Chris Hart, a former PWF superstar himself, in the Main Event at Summerfest.

Both Hart and Noble promoted the match on not only UWC segments, aired before the show began, but also on their personal websites. Both men's segments were received favorably.

On September 16th, 2009, Noble and Hart wrestled their Summerfest Main Event match-up that saw Noble come out as the winner after pinning Hart. Since its 2009 return, Noble is the only man to have won both his matches at Supermania V and Summerfest (Steele at Supermania, Hart at Summerfest).

[edit] IPW Controversy

During the summer of 2007, Noble was approached by a small company known as the Independent Power Wrestling promotion, who had developed interest in Noble due to his run in SWC. Noble was originally hesitant to the idea, but signed on. Noble's first match would be booked against a man named Dwayne, for the IPW World Championship. Noble was told that he would be losing the match beforehand, in which Noble agreed would be an interesting angle. However, during a near fall in the match, the referee counted much too fast, giving Noble the victory. Noble then learned that the whole thing had been arranged so that Noble would win the title, while attempting to place backstage faults for the match on Noble. In a furious rage, Noble instantly resigned from IPW, and filed a suit against the company for breach of contract. The charges were eventually dropped. Noble stated in a shoot interview that he does not recognize his win, and does not acknowledge the World Title.

[edit] Wrestling Trivia

  • Of all of the partners Kurt Noble has won Tag Team Championships with (Tariq, Chris Cage, Flap Flanagan), the match-up that the titles were won was also the first pairing of every single team.
  • Noble was never pinned, nor did he submit, during his nine matches with the UWL.
  • Noble has stated his personal favorite match that he was involved with was the UVW King of the Mountain Match. Oddly enough, he received a concussion in the match-up.
  • Noble has had a recent history of winning streaks. He amassed a year long unpinned streak (9/5/08-9/20/09), and a near eight month PWF win streak (1/25/09-9/20/09; 30 victories).

[edit] Personal Life

Despite his rather loud-mouthed character, Noble is known to be one of the quietest wrestlers backstage. Noble has been known to not say anything to other wrestlers, despite the various hours backstage. When questioned about it in a shoot interview, Noble responded that it wasn't because he disliked anyone, simply because he just doesn't have a talkative personality.

When asked to describe his "Common Man" character, Noble sighted Gregory House (House MD), V (V for Vendetta), Tyler Durden (Fight Club), and Harvey Dent (from the Dark Knight) as influences for the character.

Noble is real life best-friends with wrestler Delikado. It was originally Noble's idea for Delikado to enter the wrestling business, and the two have wrestled in the same companies ever since. Noble also hired Delikado to be a member of the Quixotic Wrestling League.

Noble has close personal friendships with Matt Mathews, The Phenomenal Blu, Tim Harrison, Jerry McClean, Jeof Caravelle, and Christian Kane, most of which he worked with on the indy circuit in 2006 and 2007.

During Noble's time in UVW, Noble introduced his then girlfriend Amy Register as his manager. During early 2008, the two split up for unknown reasons, which Noble has refused to speak about. However, he has stated that the two remain friends, and that he does not regret hiring her as an interviewer for QWL. The two are currently working together in PWF, and have been quoted as being "great friends." The two are currently involved in a relationship angle in PWF.
