Southern Wrestling Association Presents Cross The Line

Saturday, October 11, 2008
National Guard Armory
Forest City, NC

1. Derek Driver defeated Rob Killjoy

2. Max Cortez w/ Miss Felonie defeated Tim "The Machine" Thomas w/ Luscious Laura
- After the match, Miss Felonie, for some reason, attacked Cortez, giving him a low blow. I. M. Righteous, who had been at ringside on commentary, joined her in the ring, asking Cortez if he would repent for his sins. Cortez was confused, but repeatedly said no and Miss Felonie dropped him in the middle of the ring. Righteous told the crowd that he had seen the light and received the message and the message was, "Do unto others, before they do unto you." Miss Felonie and Righteous left together.

3. The Corporate Mafia (Doctor Feelgood & Christopher Stevens) & James Drake defeated Stumpy Grimmett, Junior Grimmett & "Boogie Woogie" Mickie Richards

4. Super Law defeated Manchild

The Stro sent this in:

Former WCW and current NWA star The Stro is set to star in the upcoming horror film "Deader Country" which is set for release in 2009.

Whilst wagging school, two teenagers stumble across a strange hybrid creature, a beast that is half man, half alien and ALL zombie, which has managed to make its way unseen across desolate countryside to the town of Pleasance. Upon nursing the mutated zombie back to health, the teens unwittingly unleash a deadly new plague of the undead on the town's populace. Now with a conscience and accompanied by a small group of eccentric locals, Orion is back to help battle the second legion of zombies. However, he is soon to discover a startling revelation that will alter the very fabric of his existence…

The film is a sequel to Dead Country (2008), which is currently available to buy worldwide on DVD through Midnight Releasing.

Also starring: Ted V. Mikels (Cult director of "Corpse Grinders", "Astro-Zombies"), Venesa Talor (Star of "Femalien" and Charles Bands "Blood Dolls"), Andrew Merkelbach ("Dead Country") and Sara Karloff (Daughter of horror legend Boris Karloff).

The films produced and directed by Andrew Merkelbach.
