Waldo Wagner was a big Air Raid Pro Wrestling fan and volunteered to work as a ring crew member while working at Speckles Co. SuperCenter in the Dairy department. Wagner was promoted to department manager and sometimes helped struggling pro wrestlers secure jobs at Speckles Co.

Wagner learned from a wrestler/coworker that ARPW promoter Jerry Hamilton was shutting down the company because he could no longer afford his financial obligations and owed the wrestlers and staff money. Wagner, who is a fan of Hamilton, reached out to Hamilton to see if he could help in any way.

Hamilton informed Wagner that he wanted to return to practicing law full-time to make a living, leaving pro wrestling behind him. Wagner offered to buy him out, as Hamilton laughed at the idea of a Speckles Co. Supercenter employee and ring crew volunteer could run a pro wrestling company. Hamilton told Wagner that he wouldn't last long in the business, and to keep his job at Speckles Co if he had any brains, but Wagner insisted. Therefore, Hamilton made him an unfair offer of $200,000. $100,000 to cover his debts, and another $100,000 for profit... Wagner agreed.

The Purchase of ARPW

With only $9,000 saved in his bank account, Wagner applied for a loan with Watchtower Bank, and it was denied. Wagner went to a ruthless lender in Midas Financials, owned by Midas "King Midas" Young of J.Y.L Law Firm, the same company Hamilton owed. Hamilton warned Wagner about dealing with Young, but Wagner took the risk and borrowed $300,000 to start his company by buying ARPW and rebranding it as All Petalverse Pro Wrestling (APPW).

Hamilton decided to put his law practice on hold to help Wagner as the company's trainer. To maintain Hamilton's reputation, he gave money to Hamilton to repay the wrestlers he owed.

A pro wrestling fan, Wagner is known to personally scout his talent in unique ways. He's recruited top babyfaces such as Big Larry Green, and Robbin READY, and top villains such as Raheem Rahim Raheim and Mymphis Morbia to make APPW a household name in the Carolinas.
