God Bless...Memphis? 1997 C-Verse

From the Notebook of Referee Billy

December 1996

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii147/ajcrible/Texas%20Wrestling/NeilFearn.jpghttp://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii147/ajcrible/Texas%20Wrestling/FloydBowmn.jpg

“So what do you ****in’ think Billy?” Floyd Bowman asked after laying out his proposal. I idly stroked my stubbly chin and stared at the papers in my hand. “I ain’t sure,” was all I could muster. “Gonna take me some time to digest.” “Well hurry the **** up and digest…partner. We’ve got a ***-***** show in a couple of weeks and need a ****in’ booker!”

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii147/ajcrible/Texas%20Wrestling/JohnnyBoyTucker.jpg

Despite Floyd’s impatience, I leaned back in my seat and took a good, hard look at each of the four men who’d met me for dinner at Floyd’s ranch. To my immediate left was John Tucker – once a promising wrestler known as Johnny Boy Tucker or Johnny Lawless. He was a freakishly athletic former TWL (Texas Wrestling League) champion before ripping his knee apart in the early eighties working up north for Eisen. Now he was just a bored, thrice-divorced stockbroker sipping on an expensive single malt scotch while pensively awaiting my decision, his chin resting in his well-manicured hands.

Beside Tucker perched ‘Mean’ Mark Green, wearing a perpetual scowl and a ten-gallon black hat while tossing down glass after glass of cheap whiskey. Michael (Trailer Park Kid) Montana lounged back beside his former tag team partner, distractedly peeling a soggy label off an empty beer bottle. And then there was Floyd. Though he’d obviously aged in the years since I’d last seen him, he remained unmistakably…Floyd. ‘F-Bomb’ still wore loud floral print shirts, let loose strings of nearly-unrecognizable profanity and found reasons to flip off at least ten people a day. Though he’d traded liquor for club soda after a liver transplant back in ’91, he remained as brash and indiscreet as ever.

“Tell ya’ what, lemme see that tape y’all brought and I’ll give y’all a call first thing. We got a deal?” Four heads bobbed in agreement and I stood, shaking hands all around before taking my leave. Driving home I thought about what the former Texas Outlaws had proposed. They wanted back into wrestling and had decided to collectively invest fifty thousand dollars into some harebrained scheme called Southern Championship Class Wrestling cooked up by former TWL jobber Shane Sneer. And they wanted me to help them book, remembering what I’d done for them back in Texas twenty years earlier as Referee Billy. I didn’t need to put up a dime, but I’d have to move Mrs. Barrowman (and Thom if he wanted to go, though he’s 19 and can make his own decisions) to Memphis.

When I got home I popped the video tape into the player, kicking off my loafers and propping my feet up on the coffee table. I took a sip of ice cold beer as the highlight reel rolled. After two hours of spliced together “highlight reels” of various indy wrestlers, I’d made my decision.

“Nope,” I told Floyd the next morning. “Thanks, but I’m pretty happy with the gym here. Plus I’d have to move the missus.” Floyd let loose a loud “Goddamnsonofabitch!” into the telephone, forcing me to pull my receiver away from my head. “**** Billy, I thought I could ****in’ count on you.” He slammed down the phone and I took a deep breath. Maybe I’d made the wrong choice.

OOC: Two and a half years ago, I ended a diary called "God Bless Texas," set in the 1977 Cornellverse. My character was 'Referee' Billy Barrowman, the Texas Wrestling League's referee and eventual booker. When I stopped writing, I promised myself and my readers that I would one day return to Billy's story. It took a little longer than expected, but I look forward to continuing his tale.

The next weekend, I received a FedEx package from Mikey Montana, who I’d secretly asked to send me a tape of some guys Floyd hadn’t been too keen on. My initial reaction was the same as my viewing of the highlight tape – lots of sizzle without much steak. But after watching for about an hour, I began to notice little things – a wrestler here who needed to pull back a little more on his Camel Clutch to sell the pain of the hold; another who had great charisma but a god-awful gimmick; and a third who obviously didn’t know a wristlock from a wristwatch but who could crack walnuts with his biceps. Crap, I was hooked.

A week later, I was on a plane with Mrs. Barrowman and Will, at 5 years old our youngest of two kids, headed to Memphis. Floyd 'F-Bomb' Bowman picked us up at the airport wearing his nicest Hawaiian shirt and a big ol’ ****-eating grin.

Mrs. Barrowman and I’d settled on renting a little place near the arena – close enough to some shopping and parks to keep her and Will occupied while I spent hours cajoling, pleading, and otherwise begging wrestlers to round out our roster. The rest of my time was spent in meetings with the Outlaws (as my new partners collectively dubbed themselves) weighing the pros and cons of SCCW’s product. I urged them to start off simply – keep the faces easy to cheer and the heels easy to boo. Plenty of time to add in shades of gray.

Despite the difficulties convincing wrestlers to join Southern Championship Class Wrestling, by the day before the big event, christened Bluegrass Brawl by the Outlaws, I had our webmaster post the upcoming card on our newly-debuting website. We even had fans (all four of them who had both internet access and the desire to browse any non-pornographic sites) send e-mails to our webmaster posting their predictions on the outcomes of the matches.

They are a middle-of-the-road-brothers tag team late in their careers. Sometime soon, I will post a few "Who Is..." segments to catch up readers with some of the 1997-specific characters. But the Skinner Brothers are on roughly the same level, push-wise, as their opponents - The McAlister Clan.

Bluegrass Brawl

January 1997

Attendance: 2,000

Memphis Coliseum

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii147/ajcrible/Texas%20Wrestling/JohnnyBoyTucker.jpg</div>

The Bluegrass Brawl, SCCW’s inaugural event, kicked off with Johnny Lawless in the center of the ring. “Welcome, folks, to Southern Championship Class Wrestling,” he drawled to scattered applause. “Tonight, you are a part of a new era in professional wrestling; the era of SCCW. So sit back, enjoy…and God bless Memphis!” Lawless winked toward me and the rest of the Outlaws, subtly acknowledging how the old Texas Wrestling League shows used to start back in the late 1970s. I grinned. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

‘The Arizona Assassin’ Genghis Rahn v. The Gambler

Billy’s Take:

The first match of the night featured TWL alum Genghis Rahn, carrying a length of chain and wearing boots covered in fur, against The Gambler, known in some indy circles as Gareth Wayne. As Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hills” blared over the arena’s loudspeaker, Genghis ran to the ring, a wild look in his eyes, swinging the chain ominously over his head and forcing The Gambler to back into the ring. Once the match began, the tide quickly turned in favor of the Wildman Genghis Rahn. After several big power moves, the self-proclaimed ‘Arizona Assassin’ hit a huge Rahn to the Hills on The Gambler for the relatively easy win.

Winner: Genghis Rahn via Rahn to the Hills

Match Rating: D-

Shane Sneer came down to the ring with a wrestler in tow. “This,” Sneer…umm…sneered, indicating the bald, goateed, well-muscled man standing next to him, “is the ‘Straight Shooter’ Joel Bryant. This man has fought all over the world, holding titles in America and Japan. But he’s come to Memphis to demonstrate what southern class is all about. Tonight his victim is a dumb hick like all of you – barely able to spit out coherent sentences between missing teeth. And when the Straight Shooter takes out Cousin Ezra with his One Shot Drop, you will see the true meaning of class.”

Cousin Ezra v. “The Straight Shooter” Joel Bryant w/Shane Sneer

Billy’s Take:

With Bryant already in the ring, bouncing around and stretching on the ropes, Cousin Ezra made his entrance. The good ol’ boy, wearing overalls without any sort of footwear, slapped hands with fans as he made his way to the ring, chewing idly on a piece of straw hanging from between tobacco-stained lips and bopping to some unheard musical soundtrack playing in his head. The crowd cheered as he spat a wad of tobacco juice at the disgusted Joel Bryant. But this just infuriated the Straight Shooter, who floored Ezra with a double-leg takedown before the bumpkin could even enter the ring. Bryant unleashed a fury of right hands, knocking Ezra – well, I would say stupid, but he’s already halfway there – nearly out cold. Once Bryant rolled the hayseed in the ring, it was just a matter of time before he hit his One Shot Drop slam for the win, much to the delight of Shane Sneer.

Winner: Joel Bryant via One Shot Drop

Match Rating: E+

Leon Williams v. “The Trouble From Tennessee” Henry Bennett

Billy’s Take:

The crowd was divided in this match. Despite Leon Williams’ obviously patriotic facepaint and attire, Henry Bennett received his share of cheers from fellow Volunteer fans. Bennett did his best to turn the fans against him, but it was obvious that they wanted to cheer the orange trunk-clad troublemaker. In the end, it was Williams who beat Bennett black (as well as red and white) and blue and finished the match with a rollup for the win.

Winner: Leon Williams via Roll Up

Match Rating: D-

Two shirtless men wearing blue jeans escorted by a young, attractive lady wearing daisy duke shorts and a tied-off flannel shirt came down to the ring, the men slapping hands with fans along the route and the lady drawing wolf whistles from men in the crowd. She took the microphone. “Howdy y’all,” she began in a thick southern twang. “This here’s ma cousin Matty Skinner,” she pointed to the man to her right, “this here’s ma cousin Dukie Skinner,” her arm swung to the left, “and I’m Jakki Skinner.” More wolf whistles. “And these’re the Skinner Brothers. Our kin’s been livin’ in the hills of Tennessee for generations, but we ain’t just all looks,” she winked. “We came to Southern Championship Class to kick some ass – and we’re startin’ with the McAlisters!”

The Skinner Brothers (Matty Skinner/Dukie Skinner) w/Jakki Skinner v. The McAlister Clan (Blackjack McAlister/Whisky Jack McAlister) w/Boss McAlister

Billy’s Take:

The McAlisters wasted no time in getting this match started, running down to the ring and attacking Matty and Dukie even before the bell could ring. I tried to get control, but it was difficult as these four men obviously have some sort of inborn (or is that inbred?) hatred of one another. I was finally able to separate them long enough to get the match underway. It was a back and forth affair, with neither team really gaining a distinct upper-hand. Boss McAlister, the seersucker-suit-wearing manager of the heel team, tried his best to distract the Skinner boys, but their fireplug manager Jakki managed to neutralize Boss and keep the match an even one. In the end, though, it was Boss’ presence that decided the match. I was in the heels’ corner trying to keep Whisky Jack from entering the ring illegally when – as I found out later – Boss McAlister tossed Blackjack McAlister something that looked like a bag of coins, which Blackjack used to lay out Dukie. When I turned back around, Blackjack, who must have stuffed the coins in his trunks, pinned Dukie Skinner for the three count to give his team the tainted win.

Winners: The McAlister Clan via pinfall

To hype the night’s main event, two men came down to the ring. One was enormous – fair-skinned, nearly seven-feet tall and well in excess of 300 pounds of pure muscle. By comparison, the other was dwarfed – though he was by no means a small man. The pale-skinned giant wore a crimson red singlet accented by a golden hammer and sickle insignia and carried a huge Soviet flag. The swarthy-skinned man wore a keffiyeh and an ankle-length white thawb. The latter, well known by old Texas Wrestling League fans as Sheik (or Ayatollah) Mustafa, grabbed the house microphone. “Stupid American fans,” he began, inciting a round of boos and scattered “U…S…A” chants, “Allah has willed that I bring to you the future of SCCW. This,” he gestured to the giant, “is the Krusher Karloff. His power is the strength of Mother Russia. Krusher hates capitalist swine as much as I.” He soaked in boos from the crowd and continued. “And so tonight, the Krusher will make an example of your American hero, the Whistler. He will show why Russia is number one and America is…”and the Sheik spit on the ring floor, indicating what he thought about Americans.

<div style="text-align:center;">---------------------------------------------------------------------

Whistler v. Krusher Karloff w/Sheik Mustafa

Billy’s Take:

With Krusher already in the ring, Whistler came down to the Marine Corps Anthem echoing through the arena. In contrast to Krusher, who stood stock-still in the ring holding the Soviet flag, Whistler was ardently waving the red, white, and blue. Not surprisingly, the crowd was solidly behind the American hero, breaking out in a loud “U…S…A” chant. Once the match began, it was much as you’d expect from these two. Punch, kick, slam, rinse and repeat. In the end, Whistler bodyslammed Krusher and backed up, positioning himself for the Rebel Yell. Sensing that his man was in trouble, Sheik Mustafa jumped up on the ring apron and blasted Whistler with a chair taken from ringside. I immediately called for the bell, ending the match with a disqualification.

Winner: Whistler via DQ after the interference of Sheik Mustafa

March Rating: D-

</div>

After the match, Krusher Karloff and Sheik Mustafa continued their assault on Whistler, double-teaming the champion until, from the backstage area, Leon Williams ran down to save Whistler. As the show ended, the crowd was enthusiastically chanting “U…S…A.”

Jesse will easily be your 3rd biggest face if you give him enough time to develop, I think. Not sure how long you'll have Joel Bryant as well, but easily your top heel if Karloff/Mustafa wind up gone in the short-term.

Volunteer Slam

February 1997

Attendance: 1,627

Memphis Coliseum

Volunteer Slam kicked off with Shane Sneer swaggering to the ring, leading the sole member of his Sneer Corporation, Joel Bryant. “Another day, another classless opponent,” Sneer began. “Last month, my client – the ‘Straight Shooter’ Joel Bryant – decimated your toothless, clueless hero Cousin Ezra.” A few scattered boos. “And this month he’ll do the same to Cousin Ezra’s, ummm, cousin – Pete the Hillbilly.” A mild reaction. “The Sneer Corporation is determined to bring a touch of class to Memphis. Forget God blessing Memphis – you inbred rednecks need a lot more help than even the almighty can provide!”

Pete the Hillbilly w/Cousin Ezra v. Joel Bryant w/Shane Sneer

Billy’s Take:

Once again, with Bryant already in the ring, one of the wrestling Hillbillies came down to meet him for a match. And, once again, Pete got a good reaction from the fans at ringside cheering for the overall-and-straw-hat-wearing bumpkin dipping a big ol’ chaw of tobacco. Unfortunately for Pete, this match was a near carbon-copy of last month’s affair as Bryant dominated throughout and finished off Pete with a One Shot Drop.

Winner: Joel Bryant via One Shot Drop

Match Rating: E+

‘The Straight Shooter’ Joel Bryant, while leaving the ring, passed Genghis Rahn, headed to the squared circle. As they passed, Bryant made some sort of remark to Rahn, who turned and glared at the ‘Straight Shooter’ before shaking his shaggy head and stalking to the ring for his match as Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hills” played over the loudspeaker.

Genghis Rahn v. ‘The Drifter’ Leo Davis

Billy’s Take:

Rahn was in the ring first, swinging his ever-present chain over his head and stomping around wildly in fur-covered boots (much as his idol, Wild Man Sullivan, had done in the mid-1970s). ‘The Drifter’ Leo Davis came to the ring second and appeared in little better shape than Pete the Hillbilly. Like Pete, Davis wore no shoes and smelled like a barnyard. But unlike Pete, Leo wore several days of stubble on his chin and constantly scratched at his apparently flea-infested body. But Genghis did not let a few bugs keep him from locking horns with the Drifter, as the ‘Arizona Assassin’ brutally pummeled Davis around the ring. He even threw Davis to the floor, and I threatened to disqualify him, but Rahn seemed unconcerned and continued his unrelenting attack. He did manage to slide ‘The Drifter’ back into the ring long enough to connect with a Rahn to the Hills for the relatively easy win.

Winner: Genghis Rahn via Rahn to the Hills

Match Rating: D-

Some generic banjo music hit as Boss McAlister made his way to the ring with Blackjack McAlister and Whisky Jack McAlister in tow. “Look real close,” Boss began in a thick accent, gesturing to his kin standing alongside him in the ring and distractedly tossing in the air the bag of coins he’d used to help secure his team’s victory last month. “This here’s the greatest tag team in the whole damn state. This here’s the McAlister Clan,” he continued. “My nephews Whisky Jack and Blackjack are the best. But Rocky Top ain’t big enough for both them boys and that damned Skinner clan. So we’re fixin’ to rid the state of them Skinners. And we won’t rest until them no-good sister stealers is outta wrasslin’ for good!” At this he jingled the bag of coins in his hand and laughed. The crowd seemed perplexed about the sister-stealing line and the importance of the coins in Boss’ hands, but still booed the McAlisters as they prepared for their upcoming match.

Dario Shelton/‘The Hardcore American’ Chris Caulfield v. The McAlister Clan (Blackjack McAlister/Whisky Jack McAlister) w/Boss McAlister

Billy’s Take:

The McAlisters dominated this matchup against the debuting Dario Shelton and the self-proclaimed ‘Hardcore American’ Chris Caulfield. In the end, it was the McAlisters picking up the win with a combination bearhug-lariat Boss McAlister later told me they’d dubbed the Moonshiner.

Winners: The McAlister Clan via Moonshiner

Match Rating: E+

After the McAlisters’ victory, Whistler and Leon Williams came down to the ring, both waving American flags above their heads and slapping hands with fans sitting alongside the aisle-way. Whistler grabbed the microphone as an impromptu chant of ‘U…S…A…’ echoed around the arena. “Last month,” Whistler began, “that no-good, dirty dog Sheik Mustafa smacked me with a chair before I could finish beating up his Commie lackey Krusher Karloff.” The crowd’s chant intensified. “Well this month,” Whistler was nearly yelling to be heard above the patriotic posturing of the crowd, “I brought some backup.” Whistler slapped Williams on the chest. “And tonight we’re going to whip them yellow dogs from sea to shining sea! I’m gonna bring out both the Halls of Montezuma,” Whistler gestured at his right bicep, “and the shores of Tripoli,” now gesturing at his left bicep, “to take care of that Axis of Evil!” More flag-waving and high-fiving before Whistler and Williams returned to the back.

Jesse ‘The Power’ Christian v. The Masked Mauler

Billy’s Take:

Whistler and Leon Williams talked briefly with Jesse Christian as he made his way to the ring, apparently wishing him luck in his contest against regional wrestling stalwart The Masked Mauler. Christian, a muscular former football player from nearby West Tennessee State University, got cheered wildly while the Mauler – if for no other reason than his trademark black mask and his opposition to a hometown hero– was booed lustily. Christian has a lot of potential and could be a really good hand for us in the next couple of years. Inside the ring, this was a clash of styles. Christian utilized extensive power moves and throws while the Mauler preferred a mat-based approach. In the end, it was Christian’s power attack that allowed him to soften up the Mauler enough to lock in the Tennessee Torture Rack for the win.

Winner: Jesse ‘The Power’ Christian via Tennessee Torture Rack

Match Rating: D-

</div>

Patriotic Pride (Whistler/Leon Williams) v. The Axis of Evil (Krusher Karloff/Sheik Mustafa)

Billy’s Take:

The bad guys came out first, Karloff led by Mustafa and each waving their own flag (Karloff’s the old Soviet flag and Mustafa the red, white, and green of Iran). The crowd booed them heavily, and a ‘U…S…A…’ chant broke out almost at once. The noise intensified when the newly-named team of Patriotic Pride entered the arena. It took me several minutes, but I was finally able to successfully wrangle all of the flags being waved by the participants and get the match underway. The contest was a brutal affair. It went back and forth at first, with the faces gaining the upper hand. But soon Karloff and Mustafa had Williams isolated in their corner, wearing him out as Whistler desperately sought the tag. Williams was finally able to make a hot tag and Whistler cleared house. While Karloff hit a huge lariat to nearly knock Williams out cold, Whistler rolled Mustafa up for the quick three-count.

Winners: Patriotic Pride via roll-up

Match Rating: D+

<div style="text-align:center;">---------------------------------------------------------------------

</div>

Incensed at losing the match, Krusher Karloff picked Leon Williams off the mat and delivered a towering powerbomb, folding him up like an accordion. He then turned his wrath on Whistler and connected with a giant lariat, nearly decapitating the American hero. Sheik Mustafa and Karloff stood, admiring the carnage they’d created as the show came to a close.

Overall: D+

They kicked around the independent scene for the better part of a decade before catching on with NYCW in the late-1980s. There they were a serviceable team, but never held the organization's tag titles. When Philly Power Pro opened in 1993, the Skinners left New York for Philadelphia and have been there ever since. Although we've billed them as hailing from the "hills of Tennessee," the Skinner Brothers are actually from rural West Virginia. Jakki Skinner is better known to some as Jakki White Trash or Debbie Nair. She is a wrestler for AAA (and prefers wrestling to managing), but has been pleased at being put into a storyline for SCCW. She's been watching a lot of Dukes of Hazzard to prep for her run as the company's Daisy Duke-like manager and, as a result, really wants to drive a General Lee. While I do not expect the Skinners to become top draws, they're reliable midcard talent with an interesting storyline family feud of sorts brewing with the McAlisters that could be rather fun moving forward. </div></blockquote> OOC: In my past diary, I included a number of "Who Is/Are..." posts for workers that might have been unfamiliar with the 1977 C-Verse. If there is anyone in particular you would like to see a "Who Is..." on for the 1997 C-Verse, just let me know and I will get one worked up!

So far, three McAlisters have shown up in Southern Championship Class Wrestling. Blackjack McAlister (known elsewhere as Blackjack Robbins) is a 32-year old brawler actually hailing from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He's a veteran of the East Coast wars, also wrestling for XFW, and is a legit tough guy. Whisky Jack McAlister (who usually wrestles simply as Whisky Jack) is a 21-year old brawler who is, actually, from Tennessee. Like his partner Blackjack, Whisky Jack has a reputation for being a real bad ass outside the ring and has been on the winning side of several bar fights. Just ask him, he'll tell you. Boss McAlister (better known as Boss Man Brayfield) got his start in the mid-80s in the Texas Wrestling League, so I knew him from that. Since then, he's bounced around small indy feds. Joining SCCW is his first 'big name' promotion since TWL closed in '95. As his attire suggests, Brayfield spends his off-time sipping bourbon and badmouthing Yankees. And yes, he drives a 1978 Cadillac El Dorado that has horns. </div></blockquote>
