Encyclopedia
Southern Championship Wrestling (SCW) was a professional wrestling
promotion
that held events in the Southeastern United States
, especially in eastern and central North Carolina
, from November 1994 to November 2004, when it was run by Greg Mosorjak
. The promotion was based in Raleigh, North Carolina
, with offices in Fuquay Varina and Lenoir, North Carolina
.
while in the promotion, and was involved in a brief feud with CCWA television announcer Henry Dean, before becoming the manager for The Invader. There were few opportunities as a manager, however, and seeing a number of talent not being utilized by management Mosorjak decided to start his own promotion. "Wiseguy" Jimmy Cicero
and Chris Stephenson were among the CCWA roster who joined Mosorjak.
SCW held its first show at the Bethesda Athletic Association Gym in Durham, North Carolina
on November 5, 1994. The promotion crowned its first Southern Tag Team Champions on November 17, when The Rat Pack (Jimmy Cicero and Brian Perry) defeated Pat and C.W. Anderson
in the finals of a one-night tournament in Raleigh, North Carolina
. The first Southern Heavyweight Champion, Boris Dragoff, won the championship in a tournament held in Creedmoor
on January 7, 1995, when he defeated Ricky Lee.
), and was eventually promoting events throughout the Carolinas by the end of the decade. SCW event tours also included, fire halls, high school gyms and fairs in cities such as Butner, NC
, Creedmoor, NC
, Durham, NC
, Henderson, NC
, Louisburg, NC
, Southern Pines, NC
, Valdese, NC
, Wendell, NC
; and in Clover, SC
and Greer, SC
.
Part of SCW's success lay with its long relationship with many charitable organizations. Mosorjak and SCW participated in countless fundraisers and benefit shows local Jaycee groups, fire departments, and the Optimist Club. It also raised money for individuals in need of financial aid
due to natural disaster or sickness. One of these shows involved an independent wrestler, Josh "Tears" Duke, who wrestled for the promotion until a car accident left him paralyzed. The benefit show was held at a local elementary school in Louisburg, North Carolina, and all proceeds went to help Duke's medical expenses.
SCW also had a weekly 30-minute television show, produced by Eno River Media, which aired Tuesdays on Channel 6 in Durham
, Chapel Hill
, and Carrboro
, and Saturday mornings on Channel 10 in Raleigh. It later expanded to include Greensboro
and as far away as Manhattan, New York. The television commentary was originally performed by Mosorjak, with the addition of Walt Rabon later on, and most of SCW's live events would later be taped for television broadcast.

, Edge and Christian
, Lita
and The Hardy Boyz (Matt
and Jeff Hardy

The promotion presented a unique mix of traditional Southern-style 'Rasslin and modern hardcore wrestling
, what it described as "old time
hardcore", attracting Extreme Championship Wrestling
's Chilly Willy, Steve Corino
, Julio Dinero, New Jack
as well as older NWA Mid-Atlantic

, Ricky Morton
, The Barbarian, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
, Jimmy Valiant
, Wahoo McDaniel
. Mosorjak was present with many of these stars at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Convention and Fanfest in Charlotte, North Carolina
years later.
SCW had a longterm association with Anderson Academy, a wrestling school run by C.W. Anderson, as well as Cueball Carmichael's KYDA Pro Wrestling facility
. Its students were invited to several shows before SCW's close. Bill Camp of KayfabeMemories.com wrote an article on the promotion for WormwoodChronicles.com, under the alias "Lawrence Alegdrop", and later made a guest appearance for the promotion as the "manager, cousin, and chess partner" of Seymore Snott, Ulysses S. Snott.

, K.C. Thunder and Frank "The Tank" Parker.
Dragoff, under the management of Count Grog, won a one-night championship tournament in January 1995 to become the inaugural SCW Heavyweight Champion. The next two years saw Mosorjak manage Brotherhood members Gorgeous George III to the SCW Heavyweight title (November 1996) and K.C. Thunder to the North Carolina Heavyweight title (February 1997), defeating Big Slam in a tournament final to become the promotion's first-ever champion. On June 27, 1998, he again led Dragoff to recapture SCW title, and persuaded Boris Dragoff to rejoin the Brotherhood, who had left the previous year. Five months later, on November 21, 1998, he helped Cueball Carmichael
win the vacant SCW Heavyweight Championship from Big Slam, then substituting for an injured James "Poison" Ivey, in Louisburg, North Carolina
. Club Security (Rumble and Rukkus) captured the SCW Tag Team titles from Pat & C.W. Anderson and Otto Schwanz the North Carolina title, with assistance from Mosorjak, making it one of The Brotherhood's most successful years.
Mosorjak and The Brotherhood also toured the Southern independent circuit with many in the group, especially Major DeBeers, winning titles in most of the promotions they visited. In the summer of 1996, he and Major DeBeers were suspended from the Great American Wrestling Federation after Grog threw a fireball at DeBeers' opponent "Iceman" Mike Murphy. Mosorjak's antics saw him being voted by fans as "Manager of the Year" in both SCW and Southern States Wrestling
in 1997. The Brotherhood was also involved in a longrunning feud revolving around Mosorjak and "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant
which set attendance records in towns from Fall Branch, Tennessee
to Butner, North Carolina
. Many times, Valiant would manage to get his hands on Count Grog after defeating one of his goons. In 1999, Pro Wrestling Illustrated
called Count Grog the "least employee friendly boss around", due to his tendency of double-crossing his own wrestlers. Since forming the group, Mosorjak twice turned on Major DeBeers, Boris Dragoff, Otto Schwanz, Jimmy Cicero, and Venom, though many eventually rejoined the group.
, attempted to find a balance between his traditionalist roots and the newer style of wrestling popularized by Philadelphia's Extreme Championship Wrestling
, and later adopted by mainstream World Championship Wrestling
and World Wrestling Federation. The result was a combination of familiar "family friendly" Southern-style 'Rasslin with modern hardcore wrestling
, which Mosorjak described as "old time
hardcore", though it also used a variety of other styles.
The promotion became well-known for its wild brawls in the mid-to late 1990s, most especially at the Berkeley Café in Raleigh, described by Matt and Jeff Hardy as a popular bar "full of drunk college kids". At one of these shows, during a ladder match
between Steve Corino and Joey Matthews, the ceiling lights were knocked out causing sparks and fire which, according to Mosorjak, resembled an exploding ring match. Mosorjak, as Count Grog, was DDTed on the ladder by Corino near the end of the match though few people saw this because the lights were still out. In addition, Corino was arrested for assault at SCW's 3rd Anniversary show in Louisburg, NC, on November 22, 1997, when police were called after hitting manager Dexter Holly with a chair. The incident was sorted out by Mosorjak shortly after their arrival at the building. It was turned into an "angle", with Corino being arrested in the ring, and fans were asked to come down to the police station to sign statements verifying it was part of the show.
promotion, which ran in Cameron, North Carolina
, until the Hardys signed with the World Wrestling Federation in 1999. Mosorjak was also an active manager in OMEGA leading Christian York
to the OMEGA Junior Heavyweight Championship
in 1998. He also managed many of these younger stars in his own promotion, most notably, when Shane Helms defeated Otto Schwanz for the SCW title on November 29, 1999, in Raleigh. Mosorjak also managed Death & Destruction
(Frank Parker and Roger Anderson) in their feuds with Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms
& Mike Maverick) and Thug Life (Christian Cage and Sexton Hardcastle). SCW-OMEGA cross-promotional activities extended to included championship titles being both recognized and defended in both promotions. Prior to making their WWF debut, Surge
, Venom and Pain wrestled Toad, Mike Maverick, and Otto Schwanz in a 6-man tag team "WWF vs. SCW" elimination match which ended with Maverick turning on Otto Schwanz.
in October 2000. The retirements of Cham Pain and Major DeBeers also hurt the promotion's drawing power.
Mosorjak managed to keep the promotion running for another year or two. He was able to expand its visibility with SCW's television show being seen Greensboro, North Carolina
and Manhattan, New York, as well a regular internet television
series via ProWrestlingTV.com in October 2002. By late-2004, however, with several key shows being cancelled or postponed, Mosorjak eventually decided to close the promotion. The decision was finally made due due to declining attendance and Mosorjak working extra hours his regular job in educational research. SCW, like many independent promotions, tended to run above cost requiring Mosorjak to use his personal finances to keep the promotion going and put a strain on his budget as a result. SCW held its final show, "Blowout Bash", and featured Count Grog helping Otto Schwanz defeat C.W. Anderson to become the last SCW Heavyweight Champion. A number of former SCW alumni appeared for the event. Lexie Fyfe
, in particular, specifically requested a match against Brandi Wine for the SCW Diva Championship, a match which she won.

Territorial reach
Though not the first independent in North Carolina, Southern Championship Wrestling was one of the earliest and longest lasting groups despite competition from the numerous promotions in the Carolinas. For most of its 10-year run, its traditional "home turf" was primarily in eastern and central North Carolina. SCW initially promoted events in the Raleigh-Durham area during its first two years in operation, however, Mosorjak gradually worked to expand the promotion's territory. In 1997, he began holding monthly shows in downtown Raleigh, establishing a home arena at the Kings Barcade (and later at the historic Dorton ArenaDorton Arena

between Steve Corino and Joey Matthews, the ceiling lights were knocked out causing sparks and fire which, according to Mosorjak, resembled an exploding ring match. Mosorjak, as Count Grog, was DDTed on the ladder by Corino near the end of the match though few people saw this because the lights were still out. In addition, Corino was arrested for assault at SCW's 3rd Anniversary show in Louisburg, NC, on November 22, 1997, when police were called after hitting manager Dexter Holly with a chair. The incident was sorted out by Mosorjak shortly after their arrival at the building. It was turned into an "angle", with Corino being arrested in the ring, and fans were asked to come down to the police station to sign statements verifying it was part of the show.

Demise
The promotion began experiencing financial troubles, as did other North Carolina indies, with state legislation putting professional wrestling under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Boxing Commission in 2001. Regulation by the state commission tripled the cost of promoters to put on a wrestling show and, with the industry already in a post-"Attitude Era" recession, threatened to put an end to local independent wrestling entirely. SCW informed fans of the bill days after being passed and appealed to them to write to their representatives. Its roster was hampered by a string of injuries during this time, in addition to longtime talent splitting their time between SCW and other promotions, and was forced to fall back on younger less experienced wrestlers; one of these wrestlers, Jacey North, was featured with SCW in an article by The Free Lance–StarThe Free Lance–Star

series via ProWrestlingTV.com in October 2002. By late-2004, however, with several key shows being cancelled or postponed, Mosorjak eventually decided to close the promotion. The decision was finally made due due to declining attendance and Mosorjak working extra hours his regular job in educational research. SCW, like many independent promotions, tended to run above cost requiring Mosorjak to use his personal finances to keep the promotion going and put a strain on his budget as a result. SCW held its final show, "Blowout Bash", and featured Count Grog helping Otto Schwanz defeat C.W. Anderson to become the last SCW Heavyweight Champion. A number of former SCW alumni appeared for the event. Lexie Fyfe
