In order to Patent and 100% copyright something you must:
* Have an original idea
* DO NOT disclose it to anyone
* Go about officially Copyrighting/patenting it
* Show it off to the public
EWC... On a side note, I've checked in to the viability of your company and there is no listing of it. Register it and stop moaning before I slip Companies House a nice crisp £20.... Remember, all's fair in love and business.
For a start, patents and copyrights are different things (you prolly know this already). You patent an Idea/Invention (basically a 'physical' _object_ or process), you copyright works or intelectual works, not ideas.
It true that in order to patent something you must apply to the patent office for patent rights. (Seen the advert about who invented the telephone? Classic case)
You do NOT have to apply to anyone for copyright on something that you have done (assuming the thing you have done is original). Copyright exists as soon as the work is deemed copyrighted by its creators. (As with all legal issues, if you intend to fight this point in court, you will have to have written a witnessed document stating that you have copyrighted it and when such a work was created, signed, dated etc at the time you copyrighted it)
This is the how the law stands with regards to Dance/Dramatical productions (closest to wrestling I could find really), and you can read the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 at this _link_

And I don't even know what your talking about with this 'You must show it off to the public' stuff. Thats just seems like nonsense. Not to mention you claim that you cannot disclose it to anyone. Doesn't that contradict itself? :?
