Ryan Wilson is an American professional wrestler currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment in the Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental promotion as Jacob Duncan where he was a former OVW Heavyweight Champion. He is best known for his appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where he was known by his ring name, Trytan.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
Wilson joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in September 2003 as one-half of a heel tag team, Redshirt Security, with Kevin Northcutt. Northcutt and Wilson were corrupt, physically imposing security guards (who wore red t-shirts) loyal to Don Callis and Jeff Jarrett, and regularly butted heads with the diminutive face "Blackshirt Security" (Chris Vaughn and Rick Santel). After Redshirt Security was expanded to three members with the addition of Legend in November 2003, the trio began feuding with the rebels who opposed the administration of Jarrett and Callis, namely Erik Watts, The Sandman, and Raven. This led to a six man Clockwork Orange House of Fun match on November 19, in which Wilson suffered a broken arm. in 2004 He was fired for steroid abuse and was replaced by Legend.
Wilson returned to TNA one year later as Titus, the bodyguard of Jonny Fairplay. The character was never televised, although Wilson made several dark appearances, including a victory over Dallas on November 19. Fairplay was not employed by TNA on a regular basis, and the Titus character was eventually discarded.
In early 2005, video packages were aired hyping the debut of Wilson's latest incarnation, Trytan. The Trytan gimmick had aspects similar to The Terminator, in which Wilson would wear a pair of shades and attire similar to the cyborg, act cold and ruthless like the cyborg and even extending his hand in a way like the Terminator would do before the cyborg would say the infamous line, "come with me if want to live". Even Wilson's finisher, a Spinning fireman's carry facebuster was dubbed the T-3, the shortened name of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Wilson began stalking Monty Brown, and would disrupt his matches, extending a hand towards Brown from the entranceway. This culminated in a match at Destination X on March 13. Brown eventually gained the upper hand over his much larger opponent, but as he prepared to hit his signature Pounce finishing maneuver, the arena lights went out. When the lighting was restored, a masked man was in the ring in place of Wilson. Brown Pounced and pinned the masked man and was awarded a victory, although he had been unable to gain a victory over Wilson. The masked man was later identified as Mideon, but was never properly included in the storyline.
Wilson's push was virtually halted following what many had perceived to be a disappointing match with Brown. He wrestled sporadically for TNA until May 2005, when he was placed in a tag team with Simon Diamond. Diamond and Wilson appeared at Slammiversary on June 19, defeating Apolo and Sonny Siaki in a tag match. However, Wilson left TNA the following month when his contract expired and was not renewed.
Ohio Valley Wrestling
On November 14, 2005 Wilson signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. He was assigned to the WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling. He originally went by the name Tytus, making his debut at the January 18, 2006 OVW TV show, coming out alongside Da Beast. At the July 25 Smackdown/ECW Tapings, he defeated Funaki in a Dark Match.
He now wrestles in OVW under the name Jacob Duncan, a gimmick where he is a man who lives in the woods speaking to his "momma" about getting his revenge on those who made fun of him growing up. He wears a mask similar to that of Mankind.
After a match Jacob was confronted in the ring by the Boogeyman and began a short feud with him. On August 23, 2006 after a brutal match The Boogeyman unmasked the losing Duncan to reveal Titus / Ryan Wilson. On OVW's 400th anniversary show, Duncan defeated the Boogeyman in a table match. On the October 25, 2006 edition of OVW TV, Duncan won the OVW Heavyweight Championship from Chet the Jett in an impromptu title match. On the December 15, 2006 edition of OVW TV taping , Chet the Jett won the OVW Heavyweight Championship from Jacob Duncan in a title match in 2006.
