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.
In 1997, he began holding monthly shows in downtown Raleigh, establishing a home arena at the Kings Barcade,[5] and was eventually promoting events throughout the Carolinas by the end of the decade.
Mosorjak and SCW participated in countless fundraisers and benefit shows for local Jaycee groups, fire departments, and the Optimist Club.
The benefit show was held at a local elementary school in Louisburg, North Carolina, and all proceeds went to help Duke's medical expenses.
Even in its earliest years, SCW was able to feature some of the top independent wrestlers in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States from Jimmy Cicero,[10] Chris Stephenson, and Tom Brandi in the early 1990s, with later mainstays including C. W. Anderson, Caprice Coleman, Cham Pain, Scab, Juice/Gotti, Dewey Cheatum, Lazz, Lexie Fyfe,[11] Mickie James, Matt Stryker, Rob McBride,[12] Shawn Alexander, Seymour Snott, The Stro, Trailer Park Heat, Venom, The Dupps (Bo and Jack Dupp), Death & Destruction (Frank Parker and Roger Anderson), Dangerous Minds (Toad and Lodi), and New Skool (Joey Matthews and Christian York); Matthews, still in high school, had his debut match on an SCW show.
[5][6][8][13][14][15] The promotion presented a unique mix of traditional Southern-style 'Rasslin[8] and modern hardcore wrestling, what it described as "old time hardcore", attracting Extreme Championship Wrestling's Chilly Willy, Steve Corino, Julio Dinero,[16] and New Jack as well as older NWA Mid-Atlantic legends Buddy Landell, Ivan Koloff, Manny Fernandez, Ricky Morton, The Barbarian, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Jimmy Valiant, Wahoo McDaniel.
Initially consisting of Major DeBeers and Boris Dragoff, it would come to include many of the region's top "rulebreakers" such as "Beastmaster" Rick Link,[14] "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez, K. C. Thunder and Frank "The Tank" Parker.
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.
[19] The Brotherhood was also involved in a long-running feud revolving around Mosorjak and "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant which set attendance records in towns from Fall Branch, Tennessee to Butner, North Carolina.
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".
[7] 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.
[19][21] Mosorjak also managed Death & Destruction (Frank Parker and Roger Anderson)[24][25] in their feuds with Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms & Mike Maverick) and Thug Life (Christian Cage and Sexton Hardcastle).
In an effort to explain the hardship, the promoters attempted to blame a rumored bill in the NC State Assembly to regulate professional wrestling.
[11][29][30] After spending several years in semi-retirement, Mosorjak resumed running wrestling shows out of King's Barcade in Raleigh under the GOUGE (Gimmicks Only Underground Grappling Entertainment) banner.
