Bedlam Crew (EpicVizard)

Bedlam Crew is a professional wrestling faction, primarily appearing in the Japanese promotion Phantasmagoria Pro-Wrestling (PPW). In the U.S., the group appears most notably in Circle of Pride (CoP) and Legends' House, the latter of which also belongs under the FCWC system like PPW. Its spinoff group, Dearg Crew or The L.C., appears in the Universal Wrestling Confederation (UWC), consisting of Bedlam Crew founder and first leader Fergus DeWitt, third leader BJ Miles, El Puma, and D-69 Manmech. Several former members that comprised The Vanguard subgroup went on to establish Revolutionary Vanguard Wrestling and continue performing under that subgroup to this day. 
The group was formed in May 2013, when Irish wrestler Dewitt turned on his partner Yusuke Higuchi and came together with Filipino wrestler DeAndre O'Goodness, Canadian wrestlers Hank Jorgenson, and American Carl Johnson to form a villainous stable, which they subsequently named "Bedlam Crew". Before the end of the year, the stable was also joined by four other Americans; The Rough Studs (Luke Chase and Percy Chase), luchador El Puma, and D-69 Manmech. Wrestlers from the Mexican Federacion Mundial de Lucha Libre (FMLL) promotion have also worked tours of PPW as members of, which led to the formation of an offshoot group named Latinoamerica in CMLL in October 2013. At the end of 2013, Bedlam Crew held both the FCWC Junior Heavyweight and FCWC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships, while also having conquered three of PPW's five annual tournaments. The stable marked a major turning point for the career of DeWitt, a longtime fan favorite, who began his ascent out of the junior heavyweight division and into the FCWC Heavyweight Championship picture. DeWitt's challenge to Martello also forced the then-FCWC Heavyweight Championship into becoming an openweight title eligible for junior heavyweight challengers, also prompting a rename to the current FCWC World Championship.
In April 2014, DeWitt left PPW and was replaced in by American wrestler B.J. Miles. The following month, Bedlam Crew received its first Japanese member, when Yukio Tadahashi joined and helped Miles capture the FCWC Heavyweight Championship. The following June, members of also won the FCWC Intercontinental and NEAR Openweight Championships, meaning that the stable had now held all titles PPW had to offer. When NJPW added a seventh title, the NEAR Openweight Triads Championship, at the start of 2016, quickly won that as well. The stable continued adding members, most notably American Johnny Syns, who took over its leadership in early 2016, when Miles, El Puma, and Manmech all left PPW for WWE. In January 2018, Syns and Caloy Romero entered in a feud over the leadership of the stable, leading to Civil War storyline. After Syns cemented his place as the leader in July, the Civil War storyline continued after Tonga and Tanga Loa turned on Syns, leading the stable being divided in Bedlam Crew Chopping Bloc initially led by Carl Johnson and later Spencer Hall and the Bedlam Crew Vanguard led by Syns. The Vanguard would leave the stable in October, followed by Sal Jackson and Yukio Tadahashi that left the stable in December. Meanwhile, Hall became the fifth leader, following the departure of Syns and the stable would be simply renamed to Bedlam Crew and The Vanguard as the Civil War storyline concluded. On January 5, 2019, Jackson and Tadahashi would rejoin the stable, prompting another resurgence where the Crew captured the FCWC World, Intercontinental, Tag Team, and NEAR Openweight Championships throughout the rest of the year. The stable also rebuilt their numbers by adding El Espectro and MIYAKE to their roster, and with them, participated in two year-long storylines that saw Edward Skyway defect to CROSS after relentless bullying from El Espectro and MIYAKE's betayal of longtime friend Akira Masuda and subsequent feuds with Senkaku Tojo and Ben O'Morgan.
Universal Wrestling Confederation (UWC) saw DeWitt debut on September 25, 2014 on its Sparkplug brand, and he would go on to become the then-longest reigning Sparkplug Champion, the inaugural UWC Multiversal Champion, and UWC Intercontinental Champion. Miles debuted in the 2016 Royal Scramble Match to a massive reception, and El Puma and D-69 Manmech would team up as The Crew from the next day until the UWC Shuffle scattered the members in July 2016. DeWitt would subsequently team with Puma and Manmech as the Crom Crew from January 2017-September 2017.
