Hello wrestling fans, and welcome to this month’s edition of Southwest Championship Wrestling. My name is Tom Oliver and I am happy to be back this month with another look at one of the most action packed regions of its day, SWCW.

We will kick off this month’s edition with a closer look at the former SWCW Heavyweight champion, "Cowboy" Scott Casey. Casey was a true hero in every sense of the word, he never backed down from a challenge. No matter what the odds, Casey always delivered a fantastic show for the fans he loved so much.

Casey wasn't blessed with the great size and strength of some of the other wrestlers, but what he lacked in size he made up for in heart. With his good looks and cowboy charm, Casey was a natural fan favorite, but it was his courage that set him apart from other wrestlers in the region.

Casey came close on many occasions to winning the SWCW title, but was often cheated out of the win by the rulebreaking style of Tully Blanchard. However it is listed that in 1983 Casey finally ended Tully Blanchard's SWCW title reign. He also beat Adrian Adonis in 1983 for the Undisputed World Heavyweight title in St Louis. Unfortunately the title was abandoned a short time later. He did however hold on to his SWCW title until February of 84 when he dropped the belt to Killer Brooks. Sadly he would never have the chance to regain the title due to the promotion folding in 1985.

In this time in wrestling history, if fans were asked about Texas wrestling in the 80's, the majority would most likely be remembering the great battles of the Von Erichs and the Freebirds, but let's not forget that in San Antonio, guys like Scott Casey were having their own wars with the same great intensity that shared in the magic of making wrestling in the 80's some of the most exciting ever in sports history.  More...
