Scott Braddock

Braddock began wrestling for promoter Fritz von Erich in World Class Championship Wrestling around 1988. In mid-1989, he became a member of manager Robert Fuller's "Stud Stable", which included "Rotten" Ron Starr and Cactus Jack, and became involved in a heated feud with Matt Borne and Jeff Jarrett. He and Cactus Jack, later stablemates in Skandor Akbar's Devastation Inc., began teaming together{{cite web |url=http://mindbenders.ca/wrestling/C.htm |title=Mindbender's Wrestling Greats: "C" |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Simpson, Greg |authorlink= |work=Mindbenders Wrestling Greats |publisher=Mindbenders.ca |pages= |language= |quote= }} eventually winning the WCWA World Tag Team Championship from Borne and Jarrett in Dallas, Texas on August 4, 1989. This was the last WCCW event held at the Dallas Sportatorium.{{cite web |url=http://www.infinitecore.com/superstar/index.php?threadid=10765&last=1 |title=The Final World Class Event At The Sportatorium |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Pringle, Percy |authorlink=Percy Pringle |date=2003-12-21 |format= |work=Kayfabe Memories |publisher=InfiniteCore.com |pages= |language= |quote= }} During that time, both WCCW and the CWA merged to form the United States Wrestling Alliance. Braddock and Cactus Jack were recognized by the USWA as the promotion's first tag team champions before losing the titles back to Borne and Jarrett a week later. Braddock won the titles once more, this time with Ron Starr,{{cite web |url=http://mindbenders.ca/wrestling/S.htm |title=Mindbender's Wrestling Greats: "S" |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Simpson, Greg |authorlink= |work=Mindbenders Wrestling Greats |publisher=Mindbenders.ca |pages= |language= |quote= }} defeating them in Dallas on September 15.{{cite web |url=http://www.411mania.com/MMA/news/116268/Today-in-Wrestling-History:-September-15th.htm |title=Today in Wrestling History: September 15th |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Csonka, Larry |authorlink= |date=2009-09-15 |work=News |publisher=411mania.com |pages= |language= |quote= }} The title was held up in a September 22 rematch with him and Starr losing the titles to Borne and Jarrett the following week. The feud ended after Borne lost a "Loser-Leaves-Town" match in November. Jarrett briefly found an ally in a young Jeff Gaylord, but found more success as a singles wrestler. That same year, he wrestled Jimmy Jack Funk in one of the earliest shows aired on "USWA on ESPN" from the Dallas Sportatorium.{{cite web |url=http://www.savatage.com/wrest/usa/uswa.html |title=USWA on ESPN Classic Canada |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author= |authorlink= |work=USWA |publisher=Savatage.com |pages= |language= |quote= }}{{cite web |url=http://www.bbrownvideo.com/uswatexasmatches.txt |title=USWA Texas Matches |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author= |authorlink= |format= |publisher=BBrownVideo.com |pages= |language= |quote= }} Braddock and Starr would also face Jarrett and Funk in a tag team match.Braddock, Scott, Jeff Jarrett, Jimmy Jack Funk, and Ron Starr, perf.

Since the start of 1989, Braddock was one of the WCCW veterans used primarily in "USWA Texas".{{cite web |url=http://www.kayfabememories.com/Regions/memphis/memphis-cwa20-2.htm |title=Memphis/CWA #20, Page #2 |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Dills, Tim |authorlink= |year=2004 |work=Regional Territories: Memphis/CWA |publisher=KayfabeMemories.com |pages= |language= |quote= }} Like most of the roster however, Braddock would eventually spend much of the next year traveling to and from Dallas and Memphis as the promotion focused on those two areas. One of his earliest matches in Memphis was a 6-man tag team match with Jeff Gaylord and PY Chu Hi against Jimmy Jack Funk, Chico Torres and Chris Adams on January 13, 1990. He also faced, and lost, to Junkyard Dog in Alexandria, Louisiana on January 30. During the next month, Braddock and Gaylord faced Jimmy Jack Funk in tag team matches with Dustin Rhodes and Dutch Mantel. On February 23, Sheik Braddock returned to Dallas where he beat Chico Torres at the Sportatorium. He participated in the main event later that night by teaming with John Tatum, Gary Young and Chris Youngblood to defeat Torres, Jimmy Jack Funk, Dutch Mantell and Kevin Von Erich in an 8-man tag team match. Braddock then went back to Memphis where he and Chris Youngblood unsuccessfully challenged then USWA Tag Team Champions "The Southern Rockers" (Steve Doll & Rex King).{{cite video | people=United States Wrestling Association (Producer) | date=2003-05-15 | url=http://www.bbrownvideo.com/uswamatches.txt | title=USWA Memphis Match Listings | medium=VHS | location=Memphis, Tennessee | publisher=BBrownVideo.com}}

By early-1990, Braddock himself left the tag team division to become a singles wrestler and became one of many veteran brawlers to join manager Skandor Akbar's "heel" stable Devastation Inc. Braddock frequently teamed with "Stunning" Steve Austin during his feud against Chris Adams. They were occasionally joined by Jeff Gaylord in 6-man tag team matches which included a televised bout against Adams, Matt Borne and Eric Embry on March 16.Braddock, Scott, Steve Austin, Jeff Gaylord, Eric Embry, Chris Adams, and Matt Borne, perf.

However, Braddock had less luck against Embry who beat him in a singles match on March 23.Braddock, Scott, Eric Embry, perf. The Best Of USWA, Volume 1. Video Gems. During the next three months, he would go on to have mixed success in the singles division with wins over Chico Torres but lost important matches to Kevin Von Erich, Jeff Jarrett and Billy Travis.{{cite web |url=http://www.worldclasswrestling.info/results/1990res.htm |title=WCCW Results |accessdate=26 September 2009 |publisher=WorldClassWrestling.info |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105204804/http://www.worldclasswrestling.info/results/1990res.htm|archivedate=2009-01-05|url-status=dead }} In Memphis, Braddock had better luck managing a title shot against USWA Southern Champion "Superstar" Bill Dundee on June 10. He also formed a regular team with Jeff Gaylord, who were known as "The Wild Things", and challenged Rex King & Joey Maggs for the USWA Tag Team Championship on July 14. Later joined by manager Downtown Bruno, the tag team also faced Ben Jordan & Ken Raper, King Cobra & Big Red, and Kowabunga & Ken Wayne whom they fought to a double-countout at the Mid-South Coliseum on July 30. Braddock also racked up an impressive string of victories over Jeff Jarrett, Ben Jordan and Rex King during this time.{{cite web |url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/memphis/jarrett/1990.html |title=Mid-South Coliseum 1990 (Jarrett) |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author= |authorlink= |publisher=ProWrestlingHistory.com |pages= |language= |quote= }}

Between 2003 and 2005, many of his matches would be aired by IWA Puerto Rico on its television series IWA Total Impact during its "classic matches" segments.{{cite web|url=http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1067818468.php |title=IWA Total Impact Report 10-31-03 |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Langan II, Michael |date=2003-11-02 |publisher=LordsofPain.net |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071112040302/http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1067818468.php |archivedate=November 12, 2007 |url-status=dead }}{{cite video | people=IWA Puerto Rico (Producer) | date=2003-05-15 | url=http://www.bbrownvideo.com/iwa.txt | title=IWA Puerto Rico on DVD | medium=DVD | location=Puerto Rico | publisher=BBrownVideo.com}} In December 2008, Total Non-Stop Action sent out a mobile text message to subscribers hinting Braddock as one of several men, specifically a former "world champion" and tag team partner of Mick Foley, who would act as a cornerman for Kurt Angle in his upcoming match with Rhyno. Foley was to be the special guest referee.{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/tna-teases-who-will-be-in-kurt-angles-corner-at-ppv-43332 |title=TNA Teases Who Will Be In Kurt Angle's Corner At PPV |accessdate=26 September 2009 |author=Behrens, Bill |authorlink= |date=2008-12-05 |format= |work=News |publisher=Wrestlezone.com |pages= |language= |quote= }}"TNA Tease."
