Crowning Champions
After a controversial BCW-TNG Tag Team Title match at "BCW-TNG Pick Your Poison 2010," the decision was made to abandon the titles and create SCBYWA Tag Team Titles in their stead. So it was decided that at SCBYWA Blaze of Glory 2010 The Power Trip (Joshua Chilton & Sean Van) would face AZW's Bull McBride & Aaron McClure to crown the first champions. At the event, The Power Trip would win the titles.
The Power Trip
After winning the SCBYWA Tag Team Championships, Sean and Joshua were on a mission to bring tag team wrestling back to South Carolina. The Power Trip successfully defended their titles at UWO XIII - May Day II against Gimmick Infringement. They would go on to defend their belts against Bad Company (Tk & James Hall) at EMW Hardcore Heaven also. The Power Trip would give Gimmick Infringement a rematch at SCBYWA Chaos Theory 2010 in a T6 Match. The stipulation was that it was GI's last shot at the title belts. Sean Van & Joshua Chilton would retain their titles again after the match was restarted due to Tray & Josh simultaneously going through the table. After the match was continued, Malice & Bull McBride would assist The Power Trip in retaining. This lead to the formation of Prestige. One last chance was granted to Trey and Patent for the Tag Titles after they kidnapped the Commissioner of the SCBYWA, Paul Pearl, and threatened his life. At SCBYWA WrestleFest II (2010), the two teams faced off one last time in a 3 Stages of Hell Match. It was in this contest that Gimmick Infringement defeated The Power Trip to win the gold. After the match, Joshua Chilton confirm he was indeed retiring from in ring competition.
Gimmick Infringement
Tray D. Marks & Patent won the tag gold at the biggest event of the year for the SCBYWA. In doing so, they fulfilled a 5 month pursuit of those belts. 19 days later the UWO withdrew from the SCBYWA. At NAX Wicked Nightmare, Van gave GI a last chance to claim their gold and defend them as Sean & Eric Thompson challenged them for the championships. Gimmick Infringement did now show, therefore Sean called for the referee to call the match a forfeit and award the titles to "The Show Stoppers," Sean Van & Eric Thompson.
The Show Stoppers
The Prestige members, Sean Van & Eric Thompson, would be crowned champions at NAX Wicked Nightmare. This made Sean & Eric the first ever 2 time SCBYWA title holders of any kind. Their first big challengers for the title belts would be, The Commission's, Mike Jones & Aaron McClure. After a loss to fellow Commission members, Sean Storm & Reverend Revis, Jones & McClure smelled blood. In the two teams first encounter The Show Stoppers would defeated Mike & Aaron at SCW Evolution 2011 to retain the titles. At SCW Blaze of Glory 2 (2011), Van & Eric faced Pimp Country in an epic battle between fan favorites. On this day The Show Stoppers would succumb to loss after the longest reign of any title by any champion in SCW history.
Going Independent
On December 1, 2010, the SCBYWA was shut down by the SC LLR. The result was SCW, the same promotion only renamed a legally licensed.
Pimp Country
Defeating Van and Thompson at Blaze of Glory 2 (after an almost 8 month reign) earned these 2 stars the SCW Tag Team Titles. At SCW Justice 4 All 2011, Sean Van brought up the fact that Antonio Smith was not the legal man when he scored the title winning victory. At SCW Extreme Justice, Eric Thompson's hands were full with Bull McBride so Sean chose to pick another partner. That partner was MiZerY. In the match, Anderson Strong would turn his back on Antonio Smith and hand the victory (along with the Tag Team Titles) over to The Power Trip. This would mark the end of Pimp Country's reign and Strong's jump to the xWa. Pimp Country's reign was 2 months and 2 days.
