Southeastern Championship Wrestling

[Z unit]

A little back story here... I graduated college. With an accounting degree. Worked in a CPA firm for two years before I decided that I hated taxes, hated bookkeeping and hated auditing. After a two tear stint there, I made the move and opened my own company. I saw an opening in the market and started a weekly entertainment based newspaper. Flash forward 10 years... Now the company that I started was the owner of 12 different weekly entertainment newspapers. We had done well for ourselves. You know the kind of papers I'm talking about. They are found in bars and clubs. The goal is to make you laugh and find out where the cheapest drinks are each night. We sponsored and promoted events in the different bars that we dealt with. I had also convinced my shareholders (best friend and brother) to start a monthly magazine a few years ago that would focus on wrestling in the southeast. We had reached a point now in the company that we were flush with cash and could now branch out even further. I had been a wrestling fan my entire life. When you grew up in North Carolina, there was no WWE. There was no Hulk Hogan. There was only one, Jim Crockett Promotions. I was there the night that Ric Flair landed in the helicopter in Memorial Stadium. I watched the Road Warriors throw Jim Cornette off of the scaffold at Starrcade 86. I made fun of my brother when he hung a poster of the Rock N Roll Express on the wall. I was a fan of the horseman as they fought with Dusty, Wahoo, Magnum and Ronnie Garvin. I thought Precious and Baby Doll were the hottest women I had ever seen. I was a fan! I knew a lot of the workers and people in the business from the magazine. I approached the board with a little trepidation as I made my proposal for this. My instincts had been right in the past but I wasn't sure how they would feel about this. I knew that some of them had been fans in their childhood, but I wasn't sure how they would feel about moving into this new business Board Room for Carolina Publications “Gentleman, we have just heard from out CFO about the business and our cash position. The time has now come for us to expand into new areas. We have done well in the print industry. We have done well promoting events and selling advertising. We have done well selling a magazine about professional wrestling. My suggestion is to marry these three revenue streams into our next venture. Southeastern Championship Wrestling! Gentleman, it is my pleasure to introduce you to two men that can make this dream come true.” I buzzed the secretary and told her to let the two gentleman in. “Gentlemen, this is Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jim Cornette.” The board obviously had questions about this new business. After a 30 minute question and answer period, I introduced the next two people to the board. They were representatives from Sports South and The Sunshine Network. Both networks had agreed to televise our weekly event on Thursday nights. In the end, we decided to go on with this venture. In the beginning, we would only promote shows in the cities that we had papers in. That way we would be able to promote the shows in our publications. We would also be able to promote the publications at the shows. It was also made very clear that they were not going to fund a losing venture forever. Jim, Roddy and myself then went on a worldwide tour to find the performers that would make this venture a success. Within 2 months we had signed on some of the greatest workers in the world. Andrew Martin, La Parka, Steve Corino, Matt Weiss, Vampiro, Colt Cabana, Masato Tanaka, Doug Williams, Elijah Burke, Mark Magnus, Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, Mark Briscoe, Jay Briscoe, Nigel McGuinness, Shannon Moore, Chris Hero, C W Anderson, Scoot Andrews, Ricky Landell, Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase Jr, Lizmark Jr, TJ Mack, Krazy K, Kevin Steen, Lodi, Jerrelle Clark, Mikey Batts, Dropkick Murphy, Sterling James Kennan, Billy Dalton, Tony Schiavone, Amber O Neal, Krissy Vaine, Don Callis and Abdullah the Butcher. We had what I felt was a great roster for the start of the company. Now all we had to do was actually put on a show that would bring back the fans of the south that had been turned off by TNA and WWE.

Township Auditorium, Columbia, SC In the locker room before the show begins “Gentleman, I want to welcome you all to the first night of SECW. We are going to put on the greatest professional wrestling show in the world. Many of you have worked in Orlando and in Connecticut. Many of you have seen what happens when the booking of a show is not done well. I promise all of you that we will give each and every one of you the tools to not only survive in this business but also to shine. One last thing. I am not a person that craves the spotlight. You will never see me acting like Vince and Jeff, putting myself over. That spotlight belongs to you. You never will worry about me making myself a David Arquette like champion. Go out there, have a good time, entertain the fans and put on a hell of a show!”

We are here in Columbia SC at the Township Auditorium. A location that has seen it's share of memorable wrestling shows. Tonight Columbia plays host to the first ever event by Southeastern Championship Wrestling!” “That's right, Scott. Tonight is the beginning of a new generation of professional wrestling. Gone will be the times of cartoon characters and constant angles that the kids can't watch. Tonight it's wrestling the way you love it, the way you remember it.” At that time, bagpipes begin to play as Commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper makes his way to the ring. “Ladies and Gentleman of South Carolina, are you ready for the greatest show ever held. It's SECW Thursday night here in Columbia, SC. Home of the game****s!” (Cheap Pop) “Tonight we will start the journey to crown the first ever Southern Heavyweight Champion. Tonight, we will have a 25 man battle royal. The winner of that match will get a guaranteed spot in the semi finals of the tournament. Once again, thank you for helping us make history tonight!” B- [CENTER][/CENTER] The camera moves to the back of the arena where a limo pulls up and shows the Extreme Horseman getting out. Ted Dibiase, Ted Dibiase Jr, Steve Corino, Rickly Landell and CW Anderson make their way into the arena. C [CENTER][/CENTER] The camera then moves to the ring where Don Callis and his client Luther Weiss are in the ring. “Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to the biggest, baddest monster in professional wrestling. The one, the only Luther Weiss. We are not here for glory. We are here for gold. Not the championship type. The type that goes jingle jangle all the way to the bank. I want to announce that Don Callis incorporated in officially open for business. No wrestler is too big! No wrestler is too bad! No fee is to big! We will take out anyone for a price!” C- [CENTER][/CENTER] In the first match of the evening, Shannon Moore defeats Jerrelle Clark in 4 minutes with a Mooregasm. D

[CENTER] [/CENTER] As the entrants make their way to the ring Ted Dibiase Sr walks over to Don Callis and whispers in his ear. They shake hands and Callis makes his way to Luther Weiss and gives him instructions. The match begins when all 25 men are in the ring. The Extreme Horseman make their way into one corner and stand there watching the battle taking place in the ring.

The Horseman go after The Sultan first and eliminate him. Andrew Martin then eliminated Ted Dibiase Jr, only to follow him over the top rope 10 seconds later. CW Anderson and Steve Corino stare each other down for a few seconds before Steve Corino points to the ropes, telling CW Anderson to eliminate himself. CW looks ready to fight it out before Ted Dibiase Sr comes down and yells at CW to get him out of the ring. The camera stays on CW face as he walks out of the arena, ending the show. C- Final Show Rating- D Attendance- 5,000

[CampCornetteNWA]

Looks like Mr. Corino has a price to pay, but C.W. ultimately can be bought. I'll say one thing though, hopefully, you can get some better top faces. Test kind of scares me as a top face. Heels look good, nice mixture. I usually shy away from Vampiro though, he's a backstage problem.

[CENTER][/CENTER] [B]From SECW.com[/B] Don't miss the next episode of SECW Thursday night as the tournament to crown the first Southern Heavyweight Champion will continue. Also Roddy Piper has promised to address Steve Corino and Luther Weiss about their actions in the Battle Royal last week.

[cobra20]

Dude, this is awesome! Just wondering is the SECW a created promotion? And I agree with CampCornetteNWA. Test scars me as a top face! But still a very good first show for SECW. Double kinks blank blank! :-)

[CENTER] [/CENTER] May 2007 Week 2 SECW Thursday Night In a dark match, Michael Murphy defeated Mikey Batts in 8 minutes. [CENTER][/CENTER] The show begins with the camera on Tony Schiavone and Jim Cornette ringside at the announce desk with the Southern Heavyweight Title in front of them. “Jim Cornette, last week we saw Steve Corino buy his way into the semi finals of the tournament. We saw Don Callis sell the services of his monster Matt Weiss and help the Extreme Horseman get their man into the semi finals.” “That's right Scott. Sometimes it's the smartest man that wins in this business. I see nothing wrong with what he did. It's the free market society here in America. There was a demand for a service, a buyer for the service. Steve Corino got what he wanted and Don Callis and Matt Weiss made a quick little profit.” [CENTER][/CENTER] At that point the bagpipes begin to play and Roddy Piper makes his way to the ring “Ladies and Gentleman, once again welcome to SECW Thursday Night. Our first order of business is the Southern Heavyweight Title Tournament.” At this point a graphic appears on the screen showing the pairings for the quarterfinals of the tournament. La Parka vs. Vampiro The Sultan vs. Colt Cabana Andrew Martin vs. Masato Tanaka “As you can see, there are two distinct ommissions from that list. Steve Corino, you won the battle royal last week. Never let anyone say I am not a man of my word. These six men are all trying to get in the ring with you in the semifinals. You have your spot in the semi finals. However, you are not going to have an easy road. I am going to make sure that you have to fight your way into the semi finals. By the way, your spot is up for grabs in each match. If you loose to any of them, you are out of the tournament.” “Now on to other business. I have to report that Doug Williams suffered a concussion last week at the hands of Luther Weiss. He also suffered from 4 broken ribs and will be out of action for the next 6 weeks. Luther Weiss, you and Don Callis are suspended from action here for the next 6 weeks. I can't say anything about you taking money from the Horseman. There is no rule against it, it has happened in this business before. I do take issue with you for your reckless and violent attack on Doug Williams and the security force here at SECW. Ladies and gentleman enjoy the show!” C+ [CENTER][/CENTER] In the first match of the night, Nigel McGuinness defeated Sterling James Kennan in 6 minutes with a Tower of London. After the match, Nigel grabbed the ring microphone. “Luther Weiss, Don Callis! You had better be glad that Piper sent you packing to whatever hell you came from. Piper, I want to challenge you! Let them back in time for the May Supershow. Let me have a crack at Luther Weiss in a cage. Atlanta GA you are going to be in for a treat that night! Me, The Pride of the Motherland! The maniacal Monster Luther Weiss! Piper, prove to be the man that you have always claimed to be and let me avenge this ruthless attack! Match- C Promo- B [CENTER] [/CENTER] The camera then moves to the back where the Horseman are watching a monitor. CW Anderson looks at Ted Dibiase. “What the hell, Ted? I leave the ring, give Steve the win and now I'm not even in the tournament!” Ted looks at him for a moment before turning to the entire group. “Listen and listen to this well. We had a plan. World Champion, Steve. TV champion, you. Tag champs, Ricky and Teddy. We are not going to veer from this plan. At all!” After listening to Dibiase, CW looks at the whole group and leaves the room. Ted looks over at Corino who has been staring at the floor the whole time and says “Come on champ, let's go see what Piper has lined up for us now.” [CENTER][/CENTER] In the second match of the evening, Steve Corino kept his spot in the semifinals by defeating Abdullah the Butcher in a surprisingly clean match. The match lasted 10 minutes with Corino winning with an Old School Expulsion. C- [CENTER][/CENTER] In the first quarterfinal match, La Parka defeated Vampiro in 9 minutes with a chair shot. C [CENTER][/CENTER] In the main event of the evening, The Sultan defeated Colt Cabana to advance in the Title Tournament in 14 minutes with a camel clutch. C Final Rating-C

[CampCornetteNWA]

Just a question? Corino was looked at and told "You. World Champion". I thought it was going to be the Southern Title and though, I know it was probably a typo, Jim Cornette calling Tony Scott at the beginning of the show was classic.

[Z unit]

Out of Character Camp Cornette: The thing about the World Champion/Southern Champion was a typo. The thing where Cornette calls Tony Scott was on purpose. I wanted to make Cornette into a character where he is a lot like the real Jim Cornette. Doesn't know and doesn't care who is talking to. He makes his point and doesn't spend the time to learn the names of who is talking to. I was hoping someone would pick up on that. I didn't think it would be this soon! BTW- after the second show Vampiro got into a fight! Now Back into character

[CENTER] [B]May Week 3 Spartanburg SC[/B] [/CENTER] The Briscoe Brothers beat Mikey Batts and Jerrelle Clark in a dark match. D+ [CENTER][/CENTER] The show begins with the camera on Scott Hudson and Jim Cornette ringside at the announce desk with the Southern Heavyweight Title in front of them. “Jim Cornette, tonight we are going to see three matches for the Southern Heavyweight Tournament. Last week we saw a tremendous amount of action. This is the only program on television that shows fans the best in wrestling each week. Not a lot of watered down interviews and backstage soap opera.” “That's right Larry. Also don't forget, we still have an unhappy Horseman in the house with CW Anderson. It's SECW Thursday night. Wrestling the way you like it. The way you remember it.” [CENTER][/CENTER] As the familiar bagpipes begin to play, Roddy Piper makes his way to the ring. “Ladies and Gentleman. Let me be the first to welcome the city of Spartanburg to SECW. Tonight we are going to see the next round of the Southern Heavyweight Tournament. Tonight, we will see the final quarterfinal match for The Southern Heavyweight Title. Also, Steve Corino will defend his spot in the semifinals. Now on to other business. Last week Nigel McGuinness asked me to allow him to take his revenge on Luther Weiss and Don Callis. Nigel, I always give the fans what they want. At the May Supershow in Atlanta, GA, you will get Luther Weiss in a cage. Also that night we are going to have 3, count 'um, 3 three way dances to decide to top contenders to the TV Title. Add those matches into the finals of the Southern Heavyweight Title, you have got a hell of a show!” C+ After Thursday Night comes back from commercial, a video message is played. “In 6 weeks, the Past becomes the Present!

While the Horeseman are waiting, the bagpipes begin to play. [CENTER][/CENTER] Commissioner Piper makes his way to the ring. “You know, Steve. I had you go up against Abdullah last week. I had to find someone bigger and badder for you to go against. He may be a bit past his prime, he may be a little slower than he was, but his is still big, he is still bad, he is still King Kong Bundy. [CENTER][/CENTER] After 7 minutes of wild brawling all over the arena in which Referee Billy Dalton was knocked out, King Kong Bundy sits on top of Steve Corino. CW Anderson makes his way to the ring and hits Bundy with a chair. He puts Corino on top of Bundy and then puts Billy Dalton back in the ring to make the count. C [CENTER][/CENTER] After the bell rings, CW takes the ring microphone. “Steve, I didn't do that for you. Ted, I didn't do this for any plan that you came up with. I did this because I am a Horseman. I know what that means. Horseman are for life.” [CENTER][/CENTER] In the main event of the evening Andrew Martin defeated Masato Tanaka in 15 minutes with a TKO. D+ Final Rating- C- The show had an audience of 1.59 on Sports South and 1.28 on The Sunshine Network when it aired.

[CampCornetteNWA]

I really don't like Corino needing help to beat King Kong Bundy. For a top heel, barely getting past Bundy doesn't seem right. Test bothers me as a main eventer. Have I said that? I think Elijah Burke could turn out to be your "diamond in the rough" so to speak in terms of star power and The Briscoes will probably run the tag team scene. Dibiase Jr. is the future of your diary and I don't know how long he'll play second fiddle to the aging Corino.

No one wants to talk about how the Horseman are going to bring home the gold tonight. No one wants to talk about how the first Southern Heavyweight is going to be around the waist of the Horseman. CW is a happy horseman. CW Anderson is going to be the next TV Champion.” [CENTER][/CENTER] Andrew Martin is interviewed by Krissy Vaine about his match tonight against Steve Corino. “You know Krissy, this is my chance to put my name in the history of this great sport. Put my name in for something other than being the one that being forced to propose to the bosses daughter. Tonight I win, the Southern Heavyweight Championship! No more jokes about how I can't lead a promotion. No more jokes about how I don't belong in main event matches. No more kids on the internet talking about how I don't belong in the ring.

I pounded that no talent hack from one end of the ring to the other. By now, he is probably headed back up to Connecticut. Maybe, you can be part of another botched wedding. As I see it, you have no business back in a wrestling ring. Do everyone a favor, retire. Don't hint at it, don't talk about it, just do it.” Ted Sr. takes the microphone back from Corino. “Don't you just love it when a plan comes together. Southern Heavyweight Champion, Corino.
