Hey all, It's me, Mickey Conroy, and welcome to my new podcast, Call It With Conroy where I call the action in the ring! Thanks for listening, or if you're reading the transcription, thanks as well. I'm down in Alabama for college, and just heard about this wrestling promotion that started up, Southern Country Wrestling, or SCW, and I decided to go check it out. So here's my thoughts, and if you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe!

SCW takes place tonight in in a gym in Prattville, Alabama. Some of the fans said it used to take place in Montgomery but the owner, Burt Steel, had some dispute with city officials with his “old” promotion and started his “new” promotion here Prattville. I think it's the same thing, but Burt Steel got in the ring and told the crowd that this was a new era of wrestling. I think he's drunk and he starts to ramble on about the law not stopping him. Here's a clip of some of the audio.

Burt Steel: ...So I don't give a damn about what Judge McCarthy orders! I know my rights! I don't give a damn about what any of my ex-wives say, and I don't give a damn about what the doctors say! But you know what? I know what my body says, and sadly, I just can't wrestle anymore. I need to retire. It's sad, I know, but I can rest easy knowing I retired as champion. But we'll have a new champion tonight! New York Ned will take on the only good thing Audrey ever gave me, my son Clyde Steel, for the championship!

Yeah, the owner couldn't wrestle so he's already booking his son in the title match. Spoiler alert for the end of the show, Clyde Steel wins. Burt tries to make his retirement seem like a national tragedy but he got the idea to cut his promo short when a “We want tables” chant broke out.

Our first competitors finally came out, Tristan Parker, a young kid wearing a football jersey with the number “69” on it, and an older fat guy in overalls named Farmer Howard. I heard one fan talk about how Tristan was going to be a 5 Star Recruit for the Auburn Tigers if he didn't tear his ACL, so I guess the kid is stuck here now. Burt Steel says that the winner of this match gets to see who owns the rights to Farmer Howard's corn harvest, which I don't understand.

The match is pretty basic, Parker is green, and I think Farmer Howard is just basically out there training him on the fly. None the less Parker heels it up pretty well and yells to the crowd how he's going to take the corn and give it to the Crimson Tide, which I guess is a horrible thing to do since the crowd erupted in boos. Parker ended up winning after putting his feet on the ropes,and I guess he won himself an endless supply of corn.

The next match saw The Demon Lord, Lenin May, take on Connor Andrews with Lilly Collymore. The Demon Lord has a good build, cool tattoos, some awesome gothic-rock music and even a fog machine for his entrance. Conor Andrews just looked like an average skinny dude, and Lilly literally did nothing the entire match but stand outside the ring. Demon Lord Lenin May wins, hitting some big power moves on Connor Andrews, but that Andrews kid could sell well. With a little luck he can be a full time jobber somewhere.

We had tag team action, as the Black and Blue Bruisers, Wade Henson and Nasty Harley, took on The Bro Bots, Mecha-Mason and Techno John. Their respective gimmicks are that Wade Henson wears black, and Nasty Harley wears blue, and the Bro Bots are robots. There was no story at all behind this match, both teams just came out. No defined face and heel teams. Decent wrestling though, but no emotional investment. Techno John got the win after making Wade Henson tap out to a crossface, and to celebrate, the Bro Bots did the robot dance in the ring. Honestly the match of the night, but I'd give it maybe two stars tops.

We then get our first women's match of the night. Penny Downs took on Ruby in....well, it was something. Penny actually looked decent in the ring, she has potential to be good. But Ruby? Well, when she came out some fans started chanting “Club Nightlife” which google tells me is a local strip club. She seemed annoyed at the chants but Burt Steel sat at ringside laughing. And I think that's probably where he hired her from, since she only did slaps and hair pulls and could not bump at all. The crowd chanted boring, and Penny ended the match with a clothesline on Ruby and securing the victory.

With this next match, I saw why Burt Steel was having legal trouble. Cool Spencer took on, according to the program, XxXFearSumXxX. That's alternating capital and lowercase X's and S-U-M. But he was just introduced as Fearsum. I saw Fearsum before the show getting dropped off by his Dad and thought it was a 15 year old kid ready to watch the show, but I guess he's actually on the card. Cool Spencer came out and the smell of pot instantly filled the air, and he was clearly high. Although, he is actually sorta cool with his mannerisms...but having an impaired worker wrestle a high school kid? Not a good idea Burt, but he didn't care, he was talking to Ruby at ringside and drinking a beer.

Anyway, Cool Spencer was actually able to go, and can probably be really good if sober. Fearsum? Well, he just....didn't sell. Didn't follow any psychology. He just kept jumping off the rope to hit horribly executed moves and would yell “I am fearsum!” It probably looked a lot cooler in his head but I'll give the kid a break for now. Cool Spencer hit a suplex for the victory and had to actually forcibly pin Fearsum to the mat for the match to end.

We finally got our main event, Clyde Steel vs New York Ned. Ned and Clyde cut a promo before the match, here's some an audio clip.

New York Ned: You see Clyde, I have the advantage here because I have something you don't have...Money! With my money, I am richer than every person in this room. I'm going to take this title and bring it right back to my New York mansion where it belongs!

Fan1: They were out of hotdogs!

Fan2: What?! There were 20 left!

Fan1: They said they closed it down!

Mickey Conroy: Hey can you two shut up I'm recording this for a podcast!

Clyde Steel: …..and that's not where the title belongs. It belongs.....that title....the title that....it belongs here. Right here. Tonight, in this very ring, I'm going to win you. Win you that title off of you. New York Ned, it's time to feel the steel!

Sorry for the fan audio in there, but I needed to share just how bad Clyde was on the mic. He does not belong in the main even what so ever. And the match was horrible. It was about a 10 minute squash of Clyde looking good, then about 1 minute of Clyde in trouble, followed by 5 more minutes of domination before Clyde hits a powerslam to win the SCW championship.

Clyde and his father hugged in the ring and thanked the fans, reminding everyone to come to the next show and to stay after to buy merchandise and autographs. I left since I had classes in the morning but I'll try to stay next time. Until then, this was Call It With Conroy! Have a good night and remember to subscribe!
