 Hello listeners! This is Call It With Conroy, where I call the action in the ring! That's right, I'm Mickey Conroy, and thanks for listening! I'm back for another round of Southern Country Wrestling, live from Prattville, Alabama, in the backyard of Burt Steel!


The show began with the BroBots coming out with the collection box again. They asked fans to continue donating money so that SCW can afford proper Tag Team Championships. The robotic begging was interrupted by The Jockey and The Thoroughbred, Diego Salazar and Enrique Mendoza. This was a standard “We challenge you because we're better than you” so hopefully these two teams can one day compete for actual existing titles!


We had a big five way match, The Blackbelt Arakaki, who had his arm in a cast, New York Ned, Adamus Valentinian, Father Time, and Connor Andrews. An advertisement also mentioned XxXFearSumXxX but I heard from a source he was grounded for failing a history quiz. But this match went better than the last time SCW tried a multi man match, as all competitors were given enough time and each had a moment to shine in the match. Arakaki managed to pick up the win when he clobbered Connor Andrew with his case. It may have actually reinjured his arm because he winced after he did it. He tried to celebrate but deep down I just felt bad, he can't catch a break. Except when he literally gets his arm broken. But altogether, fun match to start the show!


I want to mention that before the show started, I noticed around the neighborhood there was A LOT of missing dog posters on telephone poles. I thought nothing of it until....out comes Farmer Howard. Farmer Howard has some posters in his hand and he hands them to audience members, saying he can't find his dog Max. And...oh no! What is this? You mean to tell me Tristan Parker is coming out...with Max on a leash? The fans went ballistic, almost booing Parker out of the backyard, and Farmer Howard cut the promo of a lifetime, give it a listen.


Farmer Howard: Tristan Parker! You've done it now! You took my corn....you took my cow....you took my daughter...and you even took my house. But there's one thing a man don't take. You don't take a man's best friend! I'm fighting for Max!


Howard charged toward Parker and an impromptu match was on. Everyone was red hot for Farmer Howard, as he kept beating down Parker. And after losing nearly everything in his life, Farmer Howard defeated the evil Tristan Parker for the biggest pop of the night. Howard played with Max in the ring, and if the show ended here, everyone would have gone home happy.


Of course, the show kept going on, as Burt Steel was excited to announce ANOTHER women's tag match, this time saying it's an actual tag match. Ruby and Delilah came out, and Burt introduced Penny Downs and Lightning Lilly........who did not appear. After about thirty seconds of waiting, Burt went backstage leaving Ruby and Delilah alone in the ring. I'm going to give them the credit, knowing that their opponents were not showing up, probably after being repeatedly humiliated week after week, they decided to try to improvise an angle. Ruby was claiming Delilah cheated off of her on a college exam and now she won't be at the top of her class, and the two started to cat fight. It honestly kept the crowd involved during the awkward silence, but Burt Steel came out furious and said there was no match and ordered them to the back. He did not get a positive reaction from the crowd for that one.


The next match was Lionel The Lard vs Cool Spencer, and strangely enough, Cool Spencer was not high, but he looked super paranoid and freaked out. It was a very sloppy match, Lionel is a bad worker and either Spencer can't wrestle sober or he was freaking out. Lionel pinned Spencer, and it looked like Spencer took off towards the street after the match and drove away.


It was time for the big main event, and out came Clyde Steel. And what transpired next, will go down in wrestling history. Here's a quick clip!


Clyde Steel: Demon Lord Lenin May! You're going to feel the steel tonight! You are nothing! It don't matter if you're John Lennon or Joseph Lenin, or even...like, the fabric linen. Or even lemons. You're nothing! So come on feel the steel!


(Gothic Rock Music Began)


Demon Lord: Hey, Clyde. You want to feel the steel? How about the fact that you're only the champion because your daddy wants you to be?


Clyde: …What? You're not supposed to say that!


Demon Lord: Oh, am I going off script? How about this? All the money collected from the tag team title donation box last time? That went straight to the ladies of Club Nightlife right after the show thanks to Burt over there! Half of us in the back get screwed over on the pay every time, and he didn't even offer to HELP Arakaki with his medical bills.


Clyde: Why don't you..uhh...come down here and...Feel...the...Steel!


Demon Lord: No. I'm leaving this hell hole. Good luck dealing with them!


Mickey Conroy: Whoa...is that the real cops?


Fan: Oh **** it's Judge McCarthy! Babe we gotta go if he sees me here I'm screwed.


Clyde: ….Dad? Dad help!



And....that's where the show ended. Burt Steel apparently didn't have a permit to operate the show in his backyard and had broken a few other laws so the cops and Judge McCarthy took him away. Clyde seemed to follow them to....wherever, and then the cops escorted everyone out of the backyard. That was the show, and from what I'm hearing, the end of Southern Championship Wrestling, at least for a while.


To give a proper eulogy for SCW, it was a fun run. There's some talented individuals there, there's some good people there trying to do their best, and then...there's some that just aren't meant for the world of pro wrestling. In the end, I enjoyed traveling around Prattville and getting to know all these faces. I'm ready to put SCW to rest, and move on to the next show. If you have guys have any suggestions of what you want me to cover, be sure to email me so I can travel to the next show, so I can bring you more Call It With Conroy, where I call the action in the ring. I'm Mickey Conroy, thank you everyone, and remember to subscribe and eat at Big J's Truckstop and Diner.
