Southwest Top Programs & Feuds

Southwest Heavyweight Championship: Dory Funk Jr.

Texas legend Dory Funk Jr. continues to turn back the challengers for the Sourhwest belt he has held for the last four months. Dory has had his hands full with the young big 'Dangerous Dan Spivey who has come close on a few occassions but hasn't been able to wrestle the belt from the champ.Spivey has managed to win a Texas Death match over the champ but that will not get him the belt. Also making noise for the belt are Mexico's Perro Aguayo and Japan's The Great Kabuki with manager Sir Oliver Humperdink. Dory is looking from Amarillo to challenge World's Heavyweight Champ Ricky Steamboat the next time he comes to the Southwest territory. Biggest news is the Honky Tonk Man and Peggy Sue are on their way to Southwest.

Southwest Tag Team Champions: Demolition w/mgr. 'Precious' Paul Ellering

Demolition hit the territory two months ago and knocked off the popular tag champs Manny Fernandez and Chavo Guerro from El Paso in two weeks in San Antonio. The very night the challengers brought in 'Precious' Paul Ellering as their manager and he was the decisive factor in the match. The wiley Ellering has made an unpopular impression on the Texas fans with his outrageous comments on the fans. The champs have their hands full with the rough and tough but popular tag team of the Texas Hangmen who scored a TV non-title challenge win over the champs last week. The champs and their manager protested the decision but SW President Joe Blanchard said the decision stood. They face title matches against a team as vicious as them.

Southwest Junior Heavyweight Championship: 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal

The equaly unpopular jr champ Steve Regal drew the fans hatred when he cheated to take the Southwest Jr. Belt off of the popular Luche Libre star Blue Demon Jr. three weeks ago in Laredo. The cocky blonde champ has avoided the Demon with wins over Steve Simpson and Guerrero. The Blue Demon, Jr. has vowed to get his belt back and the fans are behind him.

Southwest Women's Championship: Wendi Richter

The ever-populer Wendi Richter from Dallas captured the title in an 8-woman battle royal six weeks ago in Austin and has been a busy champ with defenses against the cocky Magnificent Mimi and the improving Allison Royal.

Sir Oliver Humperdink's House of Humperdink is made up of the Great Kabuki and Kendo Nagasaki and they have been creating havoc. They tried to sign the up-and-coming Masa Chono but he refused. His reward for a a brutal attack on San Antonio TV by his fellow countrymen. Rurmor has it that Chono is bringing in Kensuke Sasaki to help him with his battle with the House of Humperdink.

Other stars appearing in the territory include: Tony Atlas, Nord the Barbarian, El Canek, Mr. Wrestling with more stars coming.

Muta's in WCW man. Think you mean Kabuki, no?

Good little intro though. Love the use of the women. Also look forward to what you do with Spivey. Funk is an interesting choice as a champion for '92, but it could really be fun.

I did mean Kabuki so I went back and fixed it. Jr. will not be champ much longer and I thought having him come in as champ put immediate credibility to the promotion. Thanks.

Good back story, I'm a big Aguayo mark so having him into the heavyweight title picture.

[Grape Ape]

Missed a Kabuki.

Interesting backstory. You have some stars that should dethrone Dory.

Nice layout. You seem to have the table set with a good beginning, for sure. I'm liking your lineup of champs & challengers. This territory looks & feels like Texas, with a roster that's truly custom-made for the area. Such a fun blend of characters here, too.

You've got the foreign guys, some quality mouthpieces for them, the Latino market is covered, the local Southern flavor is in full effect, and HEY. You even brought out a women's division! Kudos for all that, man. Excellent starting stages, I'd say.

My full attention is on Spivey & the waves he might make at the top. I like the note about him defeating Dory in a non-title Texas Death Match. Also digging the idea of the Demos coming up against a roadblock in the equally tough Texas Hangmen. Good possibilities in those battles. And with Ellering added to the mix? That situation is fully freaking combustible, man.

Chono & Sasaki? Tony Atlas? Heck yes. I'm on board for this one. Can't wait to see you start posting some shows soon.

Funk and Spivey could, indeed, fill any arena. Demolition, with Ellering at their side, is a contrast to the real life Road Warriors that really pulls me in. Regal is a good choice for the inagural Junior champ. Really excited that you have chosen to feature a ladies title.

Can't wait for more southwest action.
