SWCW would soon hold an 8-man tournament
on May 26,1983 in Houston, Tx. to crown an undisputed world heavyweight
champion. Adrian Adonis defeated Bob Orton
Jr. in the finals to become the first titleholder and would hold on the
belt until August 30th losing the belt to Scott Casey in St. Louis,MO.
Unfortunately the title wasn't accepted by the wrestling community and
was abandoned in September, 1983. Casey would soon win the heavyweight
title from Tully Blanchard who defeated Sweetan for the eighth &
final time of his career on June 13,1983. Casey would keep the title
until
February 27,1984 losing it to "Killer" Tim Brooks in San
Antonio. "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers would defeat Brooks for
the title in June,1984 but lose it back a month later. Kevin Sullivan
would win the title on December 9, 1984 for the first & sadly only
time of his career as the title would be abandoned a little more than 5
months later in April,1985 when the promotion is sold to Texas All-Star
Wrestling. A dynasty would
come to a close but a new one would soon follow.
