Reliving SCW Wrestling with Eddy Mansfield & Cowboy Scott Casey

Cowboy Scott Casey

Scott Casey began his wrestling career around 1970 and in his early career spent nine years in Joe Blanchard's Southwest Championship Wrestling promotion. On August 30, 1983 Casey defeated Adrian Adonis to win the Southwest Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship.[2] A month later, on September 11 he defeated Tully Blanchard to win the SWCW Southwest Heavyweight Championship.[3] In September, Casey also held the SWCW Southwest Tag Team Championship with Buddy Mareno, replacing the 'injured' Bobby Jaggers.[4]

After leaving SCW he went to World Class Championship Wrestling where he was managed by Sunshine. Casey and Sunshine would also bring in The Great Kabuki in a feud with Jim Cornette and Midnight Express, and later Kabuki after he turned on Scott and Sunshine. John Tatum and Missy Hyatt would also show up and work a program with Casey and Sunshine too. However he would leave WCCW in the middle of the program and Sunshine would keep the program going with other wrestlers involved.

Eddy Mansfield

Eddy Mansfield, a successful producer of television programming for over twenty years, heads up Mansfield Entertainment's executive management team. His dynamic leadership makes possible the development, production, and marketing strategies and drives revenue streams and cash flow, while building asset value and ultimately, enhance shareholder value.

Eddy worked in the spotlight as a professional sports figure for many years before endeavoring to pursue a career in television; first as a professional baseball player, then as one of the top ten professional wrestlers worldwide. Eddy held that prestigious position for ten years. A move to New York enabled him to do what he enjoys doing best - produce television programming.

Southwest Championship Wrestling

Southwest Championship Wrestling became the first weekly wrestling program on the USA Cable Network, airing Sundays at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. As a result of the new national exposure, SWCW staged a one-night tournament in Houston, Texas, to determine an "Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion." Adrian Adonis was the winner of this tournament, and as a result he was presented with the oldest existing championship belt by Lou Thesz as well as a brand new belt. The 75-Year Old Belt is now on display at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa
