The 13

Edward "Eddie" Singleton, better known as "The 13" is a professional wrestler signed at CWL under the **Vindication** brand.

## Early Career

The 13's past before he became a professional wrestler in unknown as there is little to no information on 13's life before getting into professional wrestling.

## Moline Wrestling Federation 2012 - Present (Owner)

Eddie made his way onto the wrestling scene at MWF (Moline Wrestling Federation) in 2012 going by the name "Lucky 13" telling everyone that even though 13 may seem unlucky, luck is always on his side. In his first few years in MWF, 13 didn't have much success and was let go in 2014.

After a year of being gone 13 made his return to MWF now going by "The 13" and started referring to himself in the 3rd person. This was prime 13 as he captured the MWF World Championship for the first time defeating Blake Blackwell. As The 13's success grew in MWF so did his arrogance as now he began to believe that he was the greatest wrestler alive. The 13 would find more championship success capturing the MWF United States Championship 3 times and becoming the longest reigning MWF United States Champion in company history.

In 2016 though, his contract was up with MWF and they couldn't reach an agreement and The 13 was released. A few years after his release in 2020, The 13 realized that MWF was about go out of business and out of respect for the company, The 13 donated lots of money to MWF to keep them from going out of business and eventually bought MWF to become the new owner.

MWF is still thriving as a wrestling company to this day ever since 13 became their new owner and has made more revenue than ever before.

## BCW (2017-2018)

After parting ways with MWF, The 13 made his to BCW in 2017. 13 didn't spend that much time in BCW and didn't accomplish anything notable.

The only notable thing 13 did in his time in BCW was that he fought Cassidy Clark in an intergender Symphony Of Destruction match. The match had back and forth action and close finishes including 13 hitting Cassidy with a bell clap with cymbals and Cassidy locking in a flute assisted crossface on 13. Cassidy Clark ultimately came out victorious though after nailing 13 with a Canadian Destroyer on a drum for the win. Their Symphony of Destruction match was ultimately awarded the Match of The Year in 2017.

In 2018 though, The 13 was released from BCW.

## Xtreme Wrestling Association (2020-Present)

A few months after buying the MWF and becoming the new owner The 13 made his way to Xtreme Wrestling Association owned by MD. XWA helped The 13 become a more known person across the wrestling scene battling with most notably Devin Isaacs, Hermano De Leon, and Cristi. Although he never had a match with many of them, The 13 crossed paths with many CWL roster members including the likes of Jay Scott, Drake Harrison, and Dr. Wrestling Jr.. The 13 hopes to encounter them in CWL more and eventually have a match with them.

The 13 respects XWA and its owner MD very much as he believes it was what gave him the boost and more opportunities to shine.

On Vindication 5.2, after a match between Xistro Horror and Ryan Quinn, The 13 made an unexpected appearance announcing he was now on the Vindication brand and proceeded to mock Xistro's failures to "get to the top of the mountain" and him being called "The Nearly Man" saying how he might never be able to get his moment and that he should just quit.

The 13 made his official debut match on Vindication on Vindication 5.5. He fought in a losing effort against Max Shearman. After the match however, Xistro came out and told 13 that he has made a big mistake messing with the Crimson Dragons.

Vindication 5.6: The 13 fought against Crimson Dragon member Phil X in a losing effort. After the match Xistro came to the ring and hit a Siberian Claymore on The 13 signifying war. After the attack, The 13 challenged Xistro to stop hiding behind the other Crimson Dragons and have a match against him at Shadowbanned which Xistro later accepted.

The Vindication before Shadowbanned 13 wanted Xistro to promise to everyone that he will bring back the "Age Of X-Termination" Xistro back at Shadowbanned.

Shadowbanned (Vindication 5.8) has arrived. The 13 vs Xistro Horror. Xistro Horror fulfilled his promise and the "Age Of X-Termination" returned as Xistro Horror made quick work of The 13 defeating him with "The X-Termination."

### A Golden Opportunity

On Vindication Episode 5.9 there were many Gold In The Bank qualifying matches to see who will enter the ladder match. One of the matches, was Ricky Valentine vs El Rayo Dorado vs The 13. A CWL legend who has won the briefcase in the past and 2 Genesis upstarts. The match was very chaotic. There was breakups of moves, diving to the outside and much more. Ultimately The 13 came out victorious after hitting a “Triskaidekaphobia” on Valentine to qualify. After the match 13 gloated his victory in an interview stating that he will win that briefcase no matter what.

Before Gold In The Bank, The 13 had a match against others who were in the Gold In The Bank ladder match in forms of Ryan Quinn and Lucas Button. The match was all over the place as Ryan Quinn ultimately picked up the win after hitting the "Quinnshot" on The 13 giving Quinn major momentum heading into Gold In The Bank.

At Gold In The Bank, the participants where ready. Everyone was ready to see who will come out on top and possibility have their career changed forever. Ultimately the winner of ladder match was none other than "The Firestarter" Jacob Nitro.

### Calling a Friend

On Vindication 5.13 The 13 announced that him and his unknown partner who would be revealed on Vindication 5.14 were next in line to challenge The Broken Standard for the CWL Tag Team Championships.

But, no one expected what would happen next. On Genesis 2.14 a shock occurred as Culture Inc became new CWL Tag Team Champions after defeating The Royale Pains and The Broken Standard in a warfare match. Rather being enraged about the situation, The 13 commented on Culture saying that he actually glad that Culture Inc were the new champions as his quest to the gold became easier.

On Vindication 5.14, The 13's partner was revealed to be Troy Winters who defeated Edward Bronson in 1v1 competition gaining momentum for their title match against Culture Inc at the Vindication SuperShow.

On Vindication SuperShow it was an all out war between the two teams with Culture Inc showing off why they are the tag team champions. But, it wasn't to defeat the determined Troy Winters and 13 as they became the new CWL Tag Team Champions after 13 hit "Triskaidekaphobia" on Malik Bosede to capture his first title in CWL.

After winning the tag team gold, Troy and The 13 fought Jack Thunderheart and Jasper Star in an absolute barn burner of a match on Vindication 5.17. Ultimately 13 and Troy came out victoriously after Troy Winters dropped Thunderheart with a vicious spinebuster. After the match Thunderheart shockingly betrayed Jasper Star when he hit his former Crimson Dragon brother with a devastating forearm.

During the week between 5.17 and 5.18 it was announced that finally The 13 and Troy Winters and The Broken Standard were set to collide at Merry Mayhem for the Tag Team Championships. On Vindication 5.18 The 13 fought Bruhbble in a losing effort after a very determined Bruhbble locked in the Bloke Breaker on 13 passing him out.

Merry Mayhem, The 13 & Troy Winters (who were showing their Christmas spirit) vs Broken Standard for the CWL Tag Team Championships. A match that was supposed to happen a month earlier but because of Culture Inc didn't happen, now it happens. Ultimately Bruhbble made Troy Winters pass out with the Bloke Breaker making The Broken Standard two time tag team champions.

### Betrayal

The Vindication after Merry Mayhem (5.21) we saw Troy Winters attack The 13 near his limo officially disbanding their partnership. Later, Troy Winters revealed that he was being used by The 13 and that he was blinded by him getting the chance to face off against Edward Bronson.

On episode 5.22 of Vindication The 13 revealed all of this true and admitted that he kinda deserved the attack. 13 also said his thoughts on his partnership with Troy stating that Troy Winters wouldn't have gained the success that he did without their partnership and he made Troy Winters more relevant than ever. After the episode when off the air The 13 challenged Troy to a match at Global Warning to which Troy accepted.

Before their clash at Global Warning, The 13 set out one final message to Troy Winters giving thanks to him for helping him achieve the tag team gold and saying you're welcome to Troy for bringing him back to the pool of relevancy.

5.24. Global Warning. The former tag team champions clash. Troy Winters vs The 13. This was an absolute war of back and forth action showing that these two know each other very well. Ultimately however, when the dust was settled The 13 picked up the victory after hitting Troy Winters with Friday The 13th for the pinfall victory.

### Friendly Competition

On February 15, Ebak and Jay Scott bumped into each other backstage and had a confrontation about which brand was superior. They both decided that they would 3 people from each of their respective rosters and compete of a series of competitions based on a certain attribute to see which brand was better.

First up was Ricky Valentine vs Samuel Black in an arm wrestling contest to see which was the strongest. It was a very close battle between the two but eventually the Motor City Monster was able to pick up the victory putting Nemesis up 1-0.

Next up was the speed competition of The 13 vs Dr. Wrestling Jr. in a ninja warrior type obstacle course. The race was back and forth the entire time and came down to the final obstacle, the warped wall. Right before DWJ was about to attempt the obstacle 13 came out of nowhere and low blowed DWJ and completed the warped wall winning the race and tying up the score 1-1.

Then it was up to Johnny Gemini and Xander Woods to win the promo battle for their respective brands to break the tie. But, right before the battle Chris Princess attacked Xander Woods and took his place in the promo battle on Vindication 5.31. Never the less, the promo was absolute "baller" as people would say but ended as Jay Scott rose up from the commentary desk and congratulated the two on their promo battle. However, he also stated that since Chris Princess interfered with the original competition of Gemini vs Xander he and the judges had no choice but to deem it a no contest leaving the score 1-1. Luckily, Jay and Ebak planned for a tie just in case and the tiebreaker was going to be a 4v4 elimination match at Battle Lines, Valentine, The 13, Chris Princess, and their captain Ebak versus Samuel, DWJ, Gemini, and their captain Jay Scott to firmly prove which was the better show.

Battle Lines was set and it has come upon us. Despite being "friendly competition" everyone that participated in the 4v4 ended up bleeding and it was a long and brutal matches on both sides. Ultimately Nemesis was able to pick up the victory with Samuel Black lastly eliminating The 13 to secure the victory for Nemesis.

### Supremacy Cup

The 13 competed in Season 5's Supremacy Cup. The following are the results.

Vindication Block

1. Ricky Valentine, 4-1
2. Xistro Horror, 3-2
3. William Black, 3-3
4. Colin Prince, 2-3
5. The 13, 2-3

6. Matty Mire, 1-4

The finalists Ricky Valentine and Chris Edwards had an iron man match at Supremacy 5 to determine who would win the Supremacy Cup. The winner was Chris Edwards with a final score of 10-9.

### Revolutionary Warfare

Since Will Sheridan's arrival on Vindication on 5.38, him and Alexander have been having a grudge against and trying to be to prove who is the better wrestler with ended with Sheridan always being the victor.

However, after Alexander's second loss to Sheridan, he decided to declare war and gathered the team of The 13 and Morgan Sharpe to face off against Will Sheridan who recruited Ebak on Vindication 5.43. They all met face to face where it was announced that they would be facing off in a Warfare Match at Endgame 5. Because of Team Sheridan being outnumbered, they were being beat down by Team Alexander until Gretery came out to make the save and making it an even 3v3 with Team Sheridan standing tall to close out 5.43.

Over the course of a few weeks leading to Endgame, members of Team Sheridan and Team Alexander would face off in one on one competition with The 13 vs Gretery, Alexander vs Ebak, and Morgan Sharpe vs Will Sheridan. Ultimately Team Alexander would end up cleaning sweeping Team Sheridan with a 3-0 advantage heading into Endgame.

At Endgame 5, it was the complete opposite of the one one one matches because Team Sheridan absolutely mopped the floor against Team Alexander with a 3-0 sweep winning the Warfare Match and proving that building a team with chemistry is better than a team of people who are good on their own but fall apart as a team.
