Storm - Part 2

After the match between Storm and Wild Thing, Storm began to beat the tar out of the unconscious Wild Thing. The beating became so severe that a very unlikely hero showed up to confront Storm...

With the big Legacy Championship Wrestling show coming up in Greenwood this Saturday, it had us thinking about that town and the amazing wrestling fans there. We were able to dig up the never-before-seen footage of the NWA North American Champion, "The Colorado Kid" Mike Rapada defend his title against Jerry "The King" Lawler with Miss Stacy!

NWA Mississippi, Chris Champion v Tommy Rogers
NWA Mississippi, Chris Champion v Tommy Rogers

We were lucky to find this one in the archives! This is a "dream match" put together by promoter at the time, Billy D. McLain, pitting two of the NWA's greatest together! It was the main event at the Balloon Festival in Greenville, MS! We loved this match so much at the SGWF, we put the fire ball on the intro! These were truly two of the greatest in the sport and they are both greatly missed. Such a great match! Chris Champion vs. Tommy Rogers

NWA Southern Tag-Team Championship, "The New Orleans Fight Club" John Saxon and Kevin Northcutt vs Brother Heaven Lee Love and A.C. Brown
NWA Southern Tag-Team Championship, "The New Orleans Fight Club" John Saxon and Kevin Northcutt vs Brother Heaven Lee Love and A.C. Brown

This is a fantastic match if you can get past the audio and video issues from this old video cassette. We thought it was definitely worthy of being catalogued in our video library.

In 2005, a world class Jr. Heavyweight took it to the big boys and won the Mississippi Heavyweight Title at the Battle Zone in Magee, Mississippi! There will never be another like Brother Love! Hallelujah!

NWA North American Championship, Colorado Kid v Terry Taylor 1999

The Colorado Kid puts the NWA North American Championship and his career on the line against Terry Taylor in Nashville, TN - NWA Worldwide 1999.

In a truly "Where the hell else..." moment, The NWA Southern Brass Knuckles Championship is decided between Max Pain and "Pitbull" Bob Serio. True to form, Billy D. McLain shows he's still in charge after being banned from the NWA with the arrival of his cousin from Las Vegas in the studio and the obvious faction-finish at the end. Some things never change, including the hilarious lengths he will go to just to be in control!

Big Daddy Storm takes on Shiro Jin in this match from IWF Slam wrestling in Louisville, Mississippi, 2001.

"Mr. Nasty" Ken Massey takes on the Shogun Warrior in this classic from the IWF in Crystal Springs, MS, 1998.

The South’s Greatest Wrestling Fans

The South’s Greatest Wrestling Fans was a local (LP) television show that aired in the late 1990s. It started when a group of wrestling fans wanted to share local independent wrestling with a rural syndication across Northern Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas. It developed a good following across the south and on the internet. The SGWF became known for their fun approach and signature “Up Close and Personal” (fan cam) type videography and interviews. The company later evolved into the NWA Promotion for the state of Mississippi, which is a completely different story! Be sure to follow these over-dramatic, sometimes goofy, but always “serious wrestling fans”. We will be sharing some great memories!

Special thanks to any and all of the Original SGWF Crew; Jim Griffin, Billy D. McLain, Wes Jenkins, Joey Gray, and all of the other helpers, promoters, workers and fans that supported this group of enthusiasts successfully for so many years. “Where the hell else can you see something like that?”
