Rob Conway teamed with Nick
Dinsmore under the names Limited Edition (MCW), Borkcin Brothers (OVW), Lords of
the Ring (OVW) and was also a member of Bolin Services with The Prototype, Nick
Dinsmore, Recon, and Mark Henry in OVW.
As the Lords of the Ring, Conway
and Dinsmore won the OVW Tag Team titles on 11 occasions and once captured the
MCW North American Tag Team titles
On April 28, 1999 Rob Conway
defeated his own partner Nick Dinsmore to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship,
which Dinsmore regained from Conway on May 7 of that year. Conway won the OVW
Heavyweight Championship a second time on August 17, 1999, pinning Damaja. He
lost the title to Rico Constantino on November 10, regaining it on September 6,
2000, with a victory over Nick Dinsmore.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Conway debuted in the then-World
Wrestling Federation on the May 20, 2000, episode of Jakked, where he was
defeated by Bull Buchanan. Over the next three years, Conway appeared in tryout
matches on Velocity and Sunday Night Heat, losing to wrestlers such as A-Train,
Randy Orton, and The Hurricane.
In a match taped for the July 17,
2003, episode of SmackDown!, Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore appeared under masks
as "Los Conquistadores", losing to Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman. On July 27,
2003, at Vengeance 2003, Conway once again competed as the masked Conquistador,
this time with Johnny Jeter as his partner, as part of the APA Bar Room Brawl.
Rob Conway made his proper debut
for the company on the August 18, 2003, episode of RAW, planted in the audience
dressed as an American soldier. After Conway was "harassed" by the heel tag team
La Résistance, he was invited into the ring by The Dudley Boyz, who were then
feuding with La Résistance. While "celebrating" with the Dudley Boyz and waving
the American flag, Conway suddenly hit them both with the flagpole, revealing
himself to be in cahoots with La Résistance. La Résistance operated as a three
man team until René Duprée was drafted to SmackDown! following WrestleMania XX.
Conway and Sylvain Grenier continued to team together and had renewed his
nickname as Robert Conway. They even won the World Tag Team Championships on
three occasions. The team was separated after Grenier was drafted to SmackDown!
in the 2005 Draft Lottery.
Despite the return to RAW of Duprée
in the same lottery which claimed Grenier, Conway began wrestling in singles
competition, brought back his original identity as Rob Conway, making a new
persona and developed a new appearance and gimmick reminiscent of Buff Bagwell.
He now refers to himself as "The Con-Man" Rob Conway.
