In an exclusive interview with Scott Mitchell and PWMania, the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Thrillbilly Silas Mason, opened up about The Southern Six, where it all went wrong, and getting his hands on Kerry Morton. Watch the interview in its entirety below.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring up The Southern Six. Your group with Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor was one of my favorites. What was it like to work with them, and where did it all go wrong?

“Man, you’re asking me. Where did it all go wrong? I thought we were doing great. We had accomplished so much. I was the National Champion. Alex had been the World Juniors Heavyweight Champion, and he and Kerry were the NWA US Tag Team Champions. Finally, we did it, we got the big one, bringing it home to the Southern Six compound. But during that story, maybe you didn’t hear a lot of individual success for Kerry. He is one of those guys who, his dad told him to step over people and show himself to the limelight, as he’s teaching him down at the School of Morton and stuff.

I remember that. I used to go down there, and maybe he’s teaching him to do that more, too, step over people, show himself off. He already tried to screw me out of the ten pounds of gold, the most prestigious championship in the history of this sport, once. He tried to do it by putting Bryan Idol’s limp carcass over me. It’s going to take more than that, boy. You’d better bring an entire army with you in Atlanta, Georgia, because at Hard Times, I’m going to destroy Kerry Morton and the entire Morton lineage.”

At Hard Times in Atlanta, Georgia, you will finally be getting him one-on-one. What can we expect from this match, and what’s your mindset heading into it?

“You want a good match? I think a good match will see a lot of blood and screaming from Kerry Morton when I take my size 16 and stick it up his pampered little backside. He’s a punk… We were the only friends he had. We were his last chance at having real friends in this business, and he flushed it down the toilet.”
