After College David moved to Memphis, Tennessee and soon found work as a disc jockey.
== Start of Something New-20-30 ==
While working in Memphis, Tennessee as a disc jockey, Masters's artistic ability attracted the attention of local wrestling promoter Aubrey Griffith. The two made an agreement in which Masters would give Griffith free publicity in exchange for free wrestling training. One year after Masters debuted as a wrestler he won his first championship by winning a battle royal. He soon won the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship under the managerial service of Sam Bass with partner Jim White. When Masters was 23, he began feuding with Jackie Fargo, who had been his trainer and mentor. This led to a match for the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship. Masters was booked to win the belt and the title of "King of Wrestling." While Masters began his career as a heel, he became a face after splitting from Bass. At the age of 28, While working in the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA), Masters defeated Billy Graham to become the CWA World Champion. His career was put on hold due to a broken leg, but he returned to the ring after several months.
== Sacred Fist Tournament-30 ==
David Masters is a rising star of popularity in the wrestling ring of The A.W.A. and that his tough strength is matched by his own kind heart and determination. An A.W.A local event would have David going up against his old college friend and rival Mark Galeon. David fought well in the match against Mark, but in the end, the battle had concluded with a draw. David and Mark would become friendly wrestling rivals for many years to come, promising a rematch with each other in due time. One day, David hears rumors that Mark has been associating himself with a criminal organization known as the Tsubaki Corporation and upon learning about the Sacred Fist Tournament, David decides to enter it so that he can confront Mark and figure out the truth behind this problem.

== Return to the AWA-32-38 ==
When he returned to wrestling at the age of 32, Masters began a notorious feud with comedian Andy Kaufman. At the time, Kaufman wrestled women as part of his skits and had declared himself the Intergender Heavyweight Champion. On April 5, Masters, who had taken exception to the skits, wrestled Kaufman in Memphis. During the course of the match, Masters delivered two piledrivers to his opponent, sending him to the hospital. On July 29, Masters slapped Kaufman in the face on an episode of Late Night with David Letterman. Kaufman responded by throwing his coffee on Masters. After the feud with Kaufman, Masters won the AWA International Championship by defeating Austin Idol at the age of 33. He also defeated Ken Patera to begin his second reign as the International Champion. Masters became the NWA Mid America Champion when he was booked to defeat Randy Savage for the title at the age of 34. At the age of 35, Masters traveled to wrestle in Japan. At the age of 36, David won the Polynesian Pacific title in the Tokyo Dome. He later returned to the United States, where he defeated Bill Dundee to begin a new reign as the AWA International Champion. After this Yoko Cindy gave birth to their only child, a son named Forrest. Masters feuded with Tommy Rich, Austin Idol, and Paul E. Dangerously throughout the next year when he was 37. Their animosity began after the controversy over an AWA World Championship title shot involving Bob Winkel. During the feud, the trio defeated Masters in a steel cage match and cut his hair, which caused a riot in the Mid-South Coliseum. The next year, Masters won the AWA World Heavyweight Championship from Curt Hennig. During his reign, Masters feuded with World Class Championship Wrestling's Champion Kerry Von Erich. He defeated Von Erich at Superclash III to unify the two titles.
== Departure From the AWA and Pro Wrestling-39-42 ==
Soon after, Masters's issues with Verne Gagne led to his departure from the AWA. While working in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), Masters teamed with Jeff Jarrett in a match against The Moondogs over the USWA World Tag Team Championship. Masters soon grew tired of the way that he was being portrayed in the USWA and decided to quit Pro Wrestling.
== Billion Dollar Business Man-42-52 ==
He instead decided that he was going to venture out in the world of business. Masters renovated the Commodore Hotel and created the Grand Hyatt with the Pritzker family. He also renovated the Masters Tower in New York City and several other residential projects. He later bought the Eastern Shuttle routes, and Atlantic City casino business, including acquiring the Taj Mahal Casino in a transaction with Merv Griffin and Resorts International. Masters threatened to sue Janney Montgomery Scott, a stock brokerage, whose analyst made negative comments on the financial prospects of Taj Mahal. The analyst refused to retract the statements, and the firm fired him. The firm denied being influenced by Masters's threat. Taj Mahal declared bankruptcy for the first time in November of that year. The analyst was awarded $750,000 by arbitration panel against his firm for his termination. A defamation lawsuit by the analyst against Masters for $2 million was settled out of court. This expansion, both personal and business, led to mounting debt. Much of the news about him involved his much publicized financial problems and creditor-led bailout. However he soon saw a resurgence in his financial situation and fame. He completed Masters World Tower, a 72-story residential tower across from the United Nations Headquarters. Also, he began construction on Masters Place, a multi-building development along the Hudson River. Masters owns commercial space in Masters International Hotel and Tower, a 44-story mixed-use (hotel and condominium) tower on Columbus Circle. Masters then appeared as himself in the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon; the movie revealed that Masters's feud with Kaufman had been kayfabe (staged). Masters later revealed that not only was his entire feud with Kaufman staged, but the two were actually very good friends.
== WWF/E and Return to Pro Wrestling-52-57 ==
With the sudden rise in popularity of Pro Wrestling worldwide due to the great success of WWF’s mega show Wrestlemania, David decided to return to Pro Wrestling and relive some of his glory days. Masters then signed a contract with the WWF and USWA. Masters began his WWF career as an announcer on WWF Superstars of Wrestling. 
=== Age 53 ===
He feuded with Robin Mask and the rest of the Mask family. The feud began at King of the Ring when Masters interrupted Robin's victory ceremony and attacked Robin. Masters claimed that he was the only true king in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), and the two were scheduled to wrestle at SummerSlam to settle the dispute. At the event, however, Masters came to the ring on crutches and claimed that he could not wrestle because of injuries suffered in a car accident. Robin faced Masters's "court jester", Doink the Clown instead, and beat him by submission. Masters then attacked Robin, revealing that he was not injured. Robin defeated Masters by submission but refused to release the Sharpshooter. As a result, the referee reversed the decision and awarded the title of "Undisputed King of the World Wrestling Federation" to Masters. Simultaneously, in a form of cross-promotion, Masters engaged in a bitter feud with Vince McMahon (who at the time was never acknowledged as the actual owner of the World Wrestling Federation) back in the USWA. There Masters played the babyface to his hometown Memphis audience, whereas McMahon (who had always played face in the WWF) was being portrayed as a smug heel intent on dethroning Masters as the king of professional wrestling. As part of the cross-promotion, McMahon, Robin and Kevin Mask, Giant González, Tatanka, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage would begin appearing on USWA television to further the feud. While the program continued in the USWA, the feud between Masters and McMahon would not be acknowledged on WWF television. The Mask Family (Robin, Kevin, Bruce, and Keith) were scheduled to face a team captained by Masters in an elimination match at Survivor Series. However, Terryman had to take Masters's place because Masters was facing legal troubles. As a result, the feud between Masters and Vince McMahon back in the USWA was also abruptly discontinued. 
=== Age 54 ===
Following the end of his legal troubles which kept him out of Survivor Series, Masters eventually returned to the WWF at WrestleMania X, which was also the first WWF pay-per-view he ever commentated at. During the main event of the night, Dynamite Piper served as special guest referee for the second WWF championship match. During this, Masters began making disparaging remarks about him. Masters would continue to berate Piper on later episodes of Monday Night Raw, including bringing a skinny kid into the ring dressed as Piper and forcing him to kiss his feet. This ultimately led to a match between the two at King of the Ring which Masters lost. Masters then initiated a feud with Doink the Clown. Masters popped the balloons carried by Doink's midget sidekick, Dink. After Doink and Dink retaliated, Masters introduced a midget sidekick of his own, who he named Queasy. In the following weeks, Doink added two more sidekicks, Wink and Pink, while Masters introduced Sleazy and Cheesy. This led to an elimination match at Survivor Series, which Masters's team won. After the match, however, Masters's team turned on him, joining with Doink's team to attack Masters. 
=== Age 55 ===
Masters wrestled briefly in Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW), while still continuing to commentate sporadically for the WWF. During his absences, Terryman filled in for him as color commentator on Monday Night Raw. He defeated Tony Anthony for the promotion's top title. Masters did not face Robin Mask at another pay-per-view until the first In Your House, when he beat Robin after Hakushi and his manager Shinja interfered. This set up a "Kiss My Foot" match at King of the Ring, which Robin won. As a result, Masters was forced to kiss Robin's feet. The feud took one final turn when Masters introduced his "dentist" Isaac Yankem, D.D.S.. After Robin defeated Yankem by disqualification, however, the feud quickly disappeared. 
=== Age 56 ===
Masters wrestled occasionally on WWF Superstars where he would take on jobbers while holding a microphone in the ring to, essentially, "do the commentary on (his) very own matches" while occasionally serving as the official cornerman for Isaac Yankem D.D.S. After a brief feud with the Geronimo, Masters began feuding with Jake Roberts after making fun of Roberts' drug and alcohol problems. The two met in a match at SummerSlam, which Masters won. After the match, Masters poured Jim Beam whiskey down Roberts' throat. 
=== Age 57 ===
Masters became heavily involved in the working relationship between the WWF and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). In interviews and commentary, he referred to the promotion as "Extremely Crappy Wrestling". His frequent insults toward ECW eventually led to the promotion "invading" Monday Night Raw and ultimately to a match with ECW wrestler Tommy Dreamer at ECW's Hardcore Heaven pay-per-view in August, which Dreamer won. Masters entered the King of the Ring tournament for the first time and advanced to the semi-final round where he was defeated by Mankind. 
== Banishment of Pro Wrestling-57-80 ==
After This, Pro Wrestling was banned in the United States due to an irregular amount of in ring deaths starting with Kevin Mask. Pro Wrestling was deemed an unsafe work environment and was subsequently banned in America. Anyone wishing to continue the profession had to do so abroad. David was understandably disappointed but unlike other wrestlers, he had his business to lean back on and for 23 years he solidified himself as unarguably the best businessman in America.
=== Meeting With Maho Tsukai ===
During this time, David was met by a Doctor named Maho Tsukai. Tsukai gave David a special medicine that was off the books neither legal nor illegal. The medicine was supposed to give David who was already 75 a prolonged life of another 50 years. Unbeknownst to David the medicine would only last until he was 100 when he would die automatically.
== Return to Work-80-100 ==
The occupation of a Pro Wrestler was reinstated when the members of the Professional Wrestling Union(which included Vince McMahon) were able to convince the government that Pro Wrestling was safe. Their main peice of evidence was the fact that in the 23 years since, not one fatal injury had occurred to any wrestling working in the rest of the world. They were able to prove that what happened 2 decades ago were nothing more than a chain of freak accidents. When the WWF was back in business, Masters rarely wrestled due to his age and focused on commentary. Despite their feud in the USWA, Vince McMahon had turned heel in the WWF for the first time and left the announce position, to which Masters began praising McMahon's name on commentary as part of his own heel persona, much to the chagrin of Jim Ross. It was McMahon's departure from the commentary team which led to the strong on-screen chemistry between Masters and Ross in subsequent years. This played a key role in a change of Masters's character; although he still supported the heels, he showed a sense of right and wrong, and would condemn actions of heels when they went too far. 
=== Age 82 ===
This began when Masters surprisingly attacked Tazz when he started bullying Ross. At SummerSlam, The King wrestled Tazz in defense of Ross. Masters stated that his well-worked chemistry with Jim Ross has been a result of their different styles; according to Masters, Jim Ross is a fine storyteller and keeps fans well-versed with current storylines, whereas he provides reaction and emotion to liven the commentary. In addition, he has had sporadic matches with up-and-coming Raw superstars, such as Bass Armstrong, Muhammad Hassan, Gregory Helms and the team of Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, Jr. 
=== Age 85-88 ===
Raw's announce team of Masters and Jim Ross feuded with Sunday Night Heat's team of Jonathan Coachman and Al Snow. At Unforgiven, Masters and Ross lost a match against Coachman and Snow, thus losing their right to do commentary on Raw. In a rematch, however, Ross defeated Coachman, winning Masters and Ross their position back. Three Years later, Extreme Championship Wrestling was re-launched and began a small invasion within WWE again. ECW and WWE went head to head for several weeks on Raw, which spanned to include the SmackDown! superstars. This created tension between the Raw and SmackDown! announce teams, as Tazz, an ECW alumnus, insulted and criticized Jim Ross until Masters came to Ross' defense, reigniting their feud. The feud concluded when Tazz and Masters faced each other in a match at One Night Stand, which Tazz won in only 30 seconds by making Masters pass out to the Tazzmission after a distraction from Joey Styles. Later that same year, Bass Armstrong began a feud with Victor Ortega. Masters attacked Armstrong in defense of Ortega, which set up a match between them on Raw. Armstrong defeated Masters after a low blow and an RKO. 
=== Age 89-92 ===
On March 31st, Masters was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his son Forrest, whom had also become a Pro Wrestler. In August, King Booker claimed to be the only one entitled to be known as "King". After being beaten by Booker in the ring, Masters was supposed to be forced to crown his opponent at an August 13 show in Madison Square Garden. During the ceremony, however, Masters announced another king as a new opponent for Booker, "The King of Kings" Alex. This led to a worked brawl between Masters and Booker. A year later on Raw, Masters was attacked by The Scorpion after saving Michael Cole from a similar attack, in which The Scorpion repeatedly asked "Is he alive or is he dead?" Later that summer, he teamed with Neptuneman to face Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes for the World Tag Team Championship but lost. At next years Royal Rumble, while announcing the Rumble Match, Masters said "Bass Armstrong needs to be the winner of this Royal Rumble, but Armstrong's almost out at the hands of Alex", as Bass Armstrong was the winner of the Royal Rumble many people are led to believe that David Masters made a mistake by saying this. However in previous weeks Bass Armstrong had abused Vince McMahon and his family thus he was in danger of being fired, so he had to win the Royal Rumble to keep his job. Later that year on Raw, Masters challenged Chris Jericho to a match because of his disrespect and erractic behavior to WWE Hall of Famers, which Jericho accepted. The following week, Masters lost to Jericho after submitting to the Walls of Jericho. After the match, Jericho outlined how he would remain supreme against WWE Hall of Famers at WrestleMania XXV. In A future episode of Monday Night Raw, Masters announced himself as the opponent against The Brian Kendrick. He went on to defeat Kendrick. On the November 16 edition of Raw, after recent acquisition Wolf Hawkfield attacked the timekeeper in frustration for not receiving an opponent, Masters left the announce table to confront Wolf and check on the victim, only to receive a kick to the head for his troubles. Next year, during a Viewer's Choice edition of Raw, Masters lost his crown to the IRS because he had apparently not paid his taxes, but it was regained by Quinton Jackson later on. At the end of the night, Masters was one of the many employees at ringside that were brutally attacked by the season 1 NXT rookies. Masters however, was the only person at ringside that fought back, as he used punches and chops to attack the NXT rookies assaulting him until it was a 3-on-1 assault. The following week on Raw Masters got some payback, being part of the Raw roster to fight off the now-called "The Nexus" when they again came to ambush Biff Slamkovich. On June 28, Masters, Red Dragon, Michael Hayes, Arn Anderson, Mike Rotunda, and Dean Malenko were severely attacked by the Nexus, just as they were celebrating his career. Josh Mathews had to replace Masters for color commentator for the remainder of the show. On A later episode of Monday Night Raw, Masters teamed with Big Bear, Exodus, Yoshi Tatsu, Evan Bourne and The Hart Dynasty tag team elimination match versus the Nexus. Masters was eliminated by Heath Slater.
=== Age-93 ===
On the episode of the King of the Ring special of Raw, Masters, who was celebrating his 93rd birthday, would challenge The Miz for his WWE Championship, to which Miz would decline. Miz's decision would be reversed by the anonymous Raw General Manager, who made the match the main event of the night, making it Masters's first shot at the title, with the match type being a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Miz would retain his title from Masters after interference by Alex Riley and Michael Cole. Cole's interference would cause tension between the two. On a later episode of Raw, Cole would first apologize to Masters, only for him to take it back and demand an apology from Masters to himself. After Masters threatened to attack Cole, the anonymous Raw General Manager would then issue a "cease and desist" order, which barred any physicality between them and that if either of them violated the order, that individual would have their contract terminated immediately. Masters would then continue his feud with The Miz, where on the December 20 episode of Raw, Masters would team with Bass Armstrong and John Morrison to take on Miz, Riley and King Wolf Hawkfeild in a 6-man Tag match with Masters picking up the win by pinning Miz. This would lead to a rematch between Miz and Masters the following week, with Masters once again getting the victory, this time by count-out. Later on that night, Miz would attack Masters from behind as Masters was sitting at the announce table. Masters would once again team with Armstrong on the January 10 episode of Raw to take on Miz and Riley. Masters was once again successful in getting the victory, this time pinning Riley. On the January 31 episode of Raw, Masters was placed in a 7-man Raw Rumble match, where the winner would receive a WWE Championship match against The Miz at WWE Elimination Chamber. Masters would win the match by last eliminating King Wolf Hawkfeild. At the pay-per-view, Masters was unsuccessful in winning the title, ending the feud. The following night on Raw, Masters, after having enough of Cole's attitude, would challenge him to a match at WrestleMania XXVII. Cole would respond by throwing water into Masters's face, with Masters chasing Cole off to the backstage area. The following week on Raw, Cole accepted Masters's challenge to a match at WrestleMania. He would then announce that he would be trained in the coming weeks by Jack Swagger for the upcoming match. The following week, Alexander the Grater was announced as the guest referee for the match. Michael Cole continued to harass Masters, who still couldn't physically harm him, but was interrupted by a returning Jim Ross. As JR and Cole were about to fight, Swagger attacked Masters from behind, and then preceded to attack and lock in the ankle lock on JR, while Cole harassed him. Masters tried to stop the attack, but fell victim to the ankle lock as well. At WrestleMania, Masters won the match by submission, using the ankle lock submission hold Cole and Swagger attacked Masters with the last couple of weeks. While celebrating his victory with Alexander, the anonymous Raw General Manager would reverse the decision, due to Alexander physically getting involved in the match by pushing Cole, thus, making Cole the winner by disqualification. On the April 11 episode of Raw, after defeating Swagger, Masters announced that at Extreme Rules, he and Jim Ross will challenge Cole and Swagger in a tag team match. On May 1 at Extreme Rules Masters alongside Jim Ross lost to Jack Swagger & Michael Cole in a Country Whipping Match. On the May 9 episode of RAW, David Masters attacked Cole inside the Cole Mine with his tie, forcing Jack Swagger to take Cole backstage. Since David didn't physically touch Cole, David was not in violation of the RAW General Manager's orders from last November. Then, Swagger, on behalf of Cole, set up a match for Over The Limit Pay-Per-View on May 22 between Cole and Masters, where if Cole wins, he will get Masters's Hall Of Fame ring, and Masters must induct Michael Cole into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The following week, while Masters and Cole were signing contracts for the event, Cole added a stipulation in which the loser must kiss the winner's foot. At Over the Limit Masters defeated Cole and, per the pre-match stipulation, made Cole kiss Masters's foot. Their feud ended after Michael Cole returned to normal commentating. 
== Heart Attack and Retirement-Age 94 ==

On the July 9 episode of Raw, Masters went against Michael Cole in a WrestleMania XXVII rematch, which he quickly won, but the anonymous Raw General Manager, who returned that night as the guest general manager, reversed the decision and Masters lost to Cole by disqualification following interference by Booker T.

On the August 20 episode of Raw, after Biff Slamkovich wouldn't tell Mel he was the "Best in the World", Mel would ask for David to get in the ring and say it for the WWE Universe.

Before the September 3 episode of Raw, Mel and David brawled backstage, with Mel getting the upper hand before officials stopped them, David was kicked in the throat, which caused David to miss commentary that night, with The Miz filling in for him. On the September 10th broadcast of Raw from the Belle Center in Montreal, Quebec, Masters was part of a tag-team match, partnering with Bass Armstrong in a match against heels Mel Masters and Dolph Ziggler.
