A recognized multiple-time World Champion in his own right, Black Tom Williams is a legend not only in Legacy of Champions but in the sport of professional wrestling at large. He's also trained quite a few other World Champions and had a hand in nearly every Legacy Champion's title reign. The man and success go hand-in-hand, and he will accept nothing less than that from everyone who surrounds him. He's crude, he's rude, and if it wasn't for him the Legacy of Champions would still be an idea in Daniel Pierce's head.
The first Legacy Champion in LoC's history and the man who laid the blueprint for what a Legacy Champion should stand for, Scott Riktor is the first LoC Grappler to be given Legend status. He continues to lead Legacy of Champions by overseeing that which he helped create as the Legacy Division Commissioner.
Scott Riktor has been a Champion in every federation he has ever been in save one, that being the IWF where he got his professional start. Scott's wrestling style is what lead him to be dubbed 'The Man Known as Rage' as that was the one emotion he appeared to be controlled by once the bell rang. He has had storied rivalries with many of the current LoC roster and his contributions can still be seen today with every RingRats Graduate that steps foot inside an LoC ring.
There has never been a more destructive force in the history of Legacy of Champions as the Man of War. Simply put, Alexander Jerusalem does whatever he wants whenever he wants and there's nobody that can stop him. During LoC's first run this man conquered the entire federation with his smashmouth, take no prisoners style that caught the eye of one Black Tom Williams. Tom took and molded this weapon of mass destruction into a machine for winning the Legacy Championship.
AJ did win the Legacy Championship and became the first man in LoC history to defeat Scott Riktor in a one-on-one match up at Rebirth. The Man of War ran through Scott Riktor during the main event of that show to become LoC's second Legacy Champion. Technically, nobody has ever beaten AJ for that title and should he return...nobody may beat him again.
He was the first three time Underground Champion in Legacy of Champions history and a man who would become sononymous with the Undergound Division. Turk's career in LoC was a roller coaster in which he found himself both at the very top of the mountain, as well as underneath it.
His competitiveness, however, was unmatched no matter what the official outcome of the match may be. It was this killer instinct that made Turk such a great Underground Champion. In a realm where the most violent mind wins, Turk rarely found an equal.
Donovan and Trevor Norman were the first tag team to hold the Team Championships. They paved the way for the highly competitive Team Division of today by proving that tag teams can main event a wrestling promotion.
Aligning themselves with Black Tom Williams and The League of Extraordinary Champions proved to be the best career choice they could have made, as they went on to hold the Team Championships for the entire span of LoC's first run. The Normans, along with the rest of the LEC, also had a storied feud with Scott Riktor while he was Legacy Champion. The brothers played a pivotal role in Riktor losing the championship to Alexander Jerusalem at Rebirth.
Actions speak louder than words, that seemed to be the motto of one of Legacy of Champions' most unique Grapplers of all time. Fanatic, nicknamed "The Enigma", was adored by the LoC faithful for always standing on the side of the just. Then, just like that, he vanished. Fanatic went off to travel the world and fulfill his destiny of becoming a true hero.
His triumphant return came not in LoC, but in uWrestling where he won the Lucky 7 Championship and has defended it successfully since. When will Fanatic finally return to Legacy of Champions? The answer to that remains an enigma.
When The Superbeast entered the fray in Legacy of Champions he did so by putting together the longest winning streak in LoC history. The level of dominance Sylo displayed in capturing both the Underground and Legacy Championships has yet to be matched and the fact of the matter is it may never be.
The mark he left on LoC is still felt today, reverberated through the Arena of Champions each and every time the lights go out and the LoC faithful scream "All Hail the King!" in unison. It's been made flesh in the monster Penance, formerly known as Kross until The Superbeast rechristened him in fire. And while Sylo has not competed in LoC in years he still carries the name with him wherever he goes, be that jOlt or the octagon. Sylo is proud to be an LoC Grappler and many believe it is only a matter of time before he makes his inevitable return. All hail the king.
