What on earth has gotten into “The Thrillbilly” Silas Mason, Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor?!

*For approximately one hour at* **NWA 75***, The Southern 6 held two of NWA’s coveted singles championships!*

While many might wonder what has the three — who oddly refer to themselves as The Southern 6 — acting like a trio of boozed up frat boys, nobody can argue their success. Since banding together during the World Is a Vampire tour of Australia, they’ve basically run roughshod through the National Wrestling Alliance.

“They are quite challenging to deal with,” admits Sam Laterna, who first encountered The Southern 6 during the company’s annual two-day anniversary pay-per-view NWA 75.

“As a group, they are loud, over-bearing — even obnoxious — and extremely cocky,” stated the backstage interviewer. “With that said, I can’t help admire how focused and determined they are to be the future of the NWA.”

Their collective aspirations have merit. When The Southern 6 joined forces, Morton was the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, Mason was a top contender to the National title and Taylor a free agent after an unproductive partnership with Jeremiah Plunkett.

Now the NWA landscape has changed dramatically, with The Southern 6 bubbling even closer to the top. While Morton was up-ended for his title by Colby Corino, “The Thrillbilly” is the newly-minted National Champion and Taylor’s on a winning streak as “The American Gigolo.”

“I don’t care how successful they are; I have nothing positive to say about The Southern 6,” gripes Pollo Del Mar for obvious reasons.

At NWA 75, the ever-colorful personality led Mason into a triple-threat against Kratos and Odinson for the National title. Though the Blount Co. Tennessee native walked out with the gold, he definitively broke ties that night with his long-time manager and love interest — delivering his devastating “Thrill Ride” finisher to her and celebrating victory with his Southern 6 brethren after.

“Silas is somebody entirely different than the man I joined NWA with a year ago, and I blame Kerry Morton,” Del Mar says. “Those three are absolutely disgusting together — and I can’t wait for someone to knock The Southern 6 all off their high horses!”

While undoubtedly others could feel the same way, it’s not yet clear who might be up for the challenge. Thus far, setbacks like Morton’s title loss aside, they have dominated all comers.

“You haven’t even seen the beginning of what’s ahead for The Southern 6,” boasts Morton, who appears to be the faction’s de facto leader.

“Colby Corino will only be Junior Heavyweight champion until I decide to take it back,” Morton continued, “Or maybe AT [Alex Taylor] will take that belt, and I’ll focus on the Ten Pounds of Gold. Who knows? There’s no stopping The Southern 6!”

“We’ve put the whole NWA on notice!” Mason agrees. “This is Southern 6 country now, and nobody better forget it!”
