TOP STORY: DAN RAGE TO RECEIVE SHOT
AT MALAKI'S SCW BRASS KNUCKLES TITLE
Total Quality Management has been in
Southern Championship Wrestling for
less than a week now and they are already
making a huge impact on the title scene.
It was announced over the weekend that
Christopher Carmichael will receive
a shot at Seymour Snott's North Carolina
Heavyweight Title on June 27th at the
TV Taping at Kings. But the match everyone
is talking about this week is the "battle
of the monsters" between TQM's
Dan Rage and SCW Brass Knuckles Champion
Malaki. With the exception of that heartbreaking
loss to Otto Schwanz who was aided by
Count Grog's interference, Malaki is
undefeated in 2002. He has won two tag
matches and five singles matches this
year and that is just in SCW. The 2001
SCW Rookie of the Year is destroying
his opponents in other promotions as
well. Dan Rage is for the most part
unknown to the SCW fans and TV viewers
but he did compete in SCW back in 1998.
An official from the SCW Headquarters
had this to say about the upcoming match,
"Both Dan Rag! e and Malaki demanded
this match with each other after the
conclusion of the six man tag team match
at Kings last month. What we have here
is a couple of young lions who honestly
do not like one another and this could
get real ugly."
WHERE'S THE BEEF? OTTO SCHWANZ STRIPPED,
SCW TITLE NOW VACANT
In a surprising move that sent shock
waves throughout the SCW community,
Commissioner Count Grog told SCWProWrestling.com
Friday afternoon that Otto Schwanz has
been stripped of the SCW Heavyweight
Title effective immediately. No explanation
as to why the title was stripped from
the four time champion but Grog did
have this to say: “The SCW Heavyweight
Title is now vacant and we will have
a match on June 27th between Cham Pain
and Jimmy Cicero to determine a new
champion. We’re only having one
live event in the month of June so all
the board members voted against a tournament.
Cham Pain was chosen because he is extremely
popular with the fans and he has held
the title on three different occasions.
Jimmy Cicero was chosen because he was
one of SCW’s original competitors
during the 1994-1998 era. Even though
we don’t agree with the recent
actions of Jimmy Cicero and TQM, the
board felt he deserved a shot based
on all he did for the company in the
early days.” Wicked Walt of An!
ti-Social Society weighed in on the
situation by saying this: “Today’s
decision by SCW’s Championship
Committee is a good example of why I
am now the manager of Scab & Natrone.
No one in this company deserves a shot
at the title more than Scab. Scab has
held the belt three times and he is
by far the best athlete in SCW. The
politics in indy wrestling never cease
to amaze me. No telling what Grog was
smoking at that meeting.”
SCWProWrestling.com will continue to
cover this breaking story and we will
have more responses from the wrestlers
and fans in the days ahead.
RESULTS FROM TV TAPING ON MAY 30TH
SCW fans who attended RUCKUS at Kings
a few days ago saw just about everything
including blood, fire and even James
Thurston. Ali Steele continued his domination
of opponents by defeating the high flying
Skulletto in the opening match. After
the match Brandi Richardson came to
the ring and announced that William
Wealth had left Sex, Love & Money
and had been replaced by Malaki. Brandi
and Malaki were soon interrupted by
the members of Total Quality Management
which set up a six man tag match later
in the evening between TQM and SL&M.
The “Silicon Valley Death Match”
was up next and Seymour Snott successfully
defended his North Carolina Heavyweight
Title against Mervin Snead. At the conclusion
of the match, TQM rushed the ring to
destroy the nerds and tried to end the
career of Mervin Snead. (Note: SCWProWrestling.com
has learned that Seymour Snott will
defend the title against TQM’s
Christopher Carmichael on June 27th
at Kings)
Scab and Natrone held onto the SCW Tag
Team Titles in their match with Dave
Greco and Billy Reil when Wicked Walt
interfered and smashed Greco in the
head with one of the tag belts. After
the match concluded, Walt ripped off
his shirt and he had on the signature
A.S.S. shirt and he verbally assaulted
the producers of SCW TV for firing him
and then he burned the white jacket
he had been wearing as announcer for
the past three years. Count Grog then
called for an early intermission so
he could find a new announcer. He later
returned with Travis Bradshaw from Virginia
Championship Wrestling. Cham Pain and
Lazz rocked the crowd next with a great
match. The match went down to the wire
but Cham Pain’s years of experience
proved to be the deciding factor as
he recorded another SCW victory. In
six man tag competition, Brad Hunter
& Shawn Alexander & Malaki (w/
Brandi Richardson) beat Total Quality
Management (TQM)- Jimmy Cicero &
Christopher Carmichael & Brent Rage
(w/ Dan Rage & Br! ian Perry) and
in the evening’s main event, CW
Anderson defeated Dewey Cheatum in an
“I Quit Match”. Former SCW
Creative Director James Thurson returned
and joined Count Grog at the TV announcer's
table.
