“This is the biggest day in the history of the planet,” says Mason of his victory.

“Thom Latimer was one helluva champion,” he continues, “But there is only one ‘Thrillbilly’ Silas Mason — and the world is about to get a true taste of what the first homegrown National Wrestling Alliance star of the modern era looks like! ‘Big Daddy Thrill’ is on a mission to ‘Thrill ‘Em All!’”

The new NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion is one-third of The Southern Six faction currently dominating the National Wrestling Alliance. Joining him in the trio are NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion “Too Hot to Trot” Alex Taylor and second-generation star Kerry Morton, collectively the NWA United States Tag Team Champions.
