Open Title Tournament Announced
The CSWA announced Thursday an open invitation tournament to determine a new CSWA Presidential Champion. At PRIMETIME 500, former champion Eddie Mayfield handed the title over to commissioner Stephen Thomas in return for a CSWA World Title shot against champion Shane Southern.
The tournament is open to professional wrestlers who are not currently signed by the CSWA. Potential participants can sign up by going to this form and can find additional information on the CSWA’s website at http://cswawrestling.com.
The Presidential Championship has long been one of Thomas’s favorites, even going so far to try and strap himself in 2001. Instead, it became a pivotal piece in the ownership battle between co-founders Thomas and Chad Merritt. Merritt eventually won control of the company, forcing Thomas out. Eventually, Thomas was thought dead in a plane crash. Instead, he reappeared in late 2004, creating a coup by suing Merritt and eventually having criminal charges brought against him as well.
The announced tournament is the first open invitation event held by the CSWA since the last ULTRATITLE Tournament in 1995.
