The concept of Legion was brought to Russel David, a wrestling reporter, by an old friend, who would bankroll the enterprise but keep to the shadows. They sought out the son of Peter Duke to gather the rights, though found he had died of a heart attack months prior... and the rights had gone to his oldest child, Peter's grand-daughter, Sonja Duke. David then wrangled in James Boyd, the former co-owner of ACW, to help control the day to day operations of this new wrestling fed.

The Legion Cup was renamed the Dunn Cup, in honor of Charles Dunn. Dunn had been the other half of James Boyd, his stalwart business partner.

The Soul of Legion, thought lost, was given to David by The Fourth Man, as a show of good faith.
