“The Crockett Cup is only the beginning of what The Southern Six has in store for the NWA,” says the senior Morton. “Now that the boys are under contract, everyone is going to find out why they don’t make ‘em like this any more!”
At 6’5” and nearly 300 lbs, Mason towers above his Southern Six teammates. A former NWA National champion, “Big Daddy Thrill” took NWA World’s Heavyweight champion EC3 to the limit at the Hard Times 2024 Signature Live Event.
