RRO's 2007 "Most Underrated" Kilo - Goodbye NBW, Hello TIWF


----George “Kilo” Seaton has been a regular with NBW since November, 2006. There comes a time when a guy just has to make a change and it looks like Kilo is headed down the road to make TIWF his home for now. Last Saturday night Kilo wrestled his long time partner Mark Justice to a NO CONTEST and was scheduled to go back to NBW to do a “double shot”, but did not return to the NBW Arena. There had been rumblings that he was unhappy with the direction of his character and just pretty much “burned out” at Dyersburg. I am being told there is no “heat” between NBW/Kilo, it was just something that Kilo has decided to do.

----Kilo had also been in talks with TLCW about doing some double shots leading to him working a major program on one of their big shows. Nothing was finalized and it looks as if Kilo decided that it might be better to be the big fish in a small pond, instead of TLCW. Kilo will be stepping into TIWF as the top worker of the crew.

----Kilo was a regular for MSWA tagging with Citizen Cane as “Southern Pride” during my stint as “Coach BT” there. Later on when I started CCW, Kilo was a major player in the promotion tagging with Kade as “Full Effect“ [photo below] - members of “Code Red” - a group of guys being managed by Kilo’s wife Auburn Thunder. He would later team with Mark Justice to form “Pretty Sexxy” in both MSWA and CCW - holding both sets of tag team straps.

----His history in NBW started when Kilo won the NBW Title in December, 2006 defeating Tank. Kilo would hold the belt until Febuary, 2007 after turning on Alan Steele and it being finally set up with Jeremy Moore beating him for the belt.

----Kilo was involved in an incident with a fan in March of 2007, when Kilo hit a 13 year old boy, who he thought was much older at the time. Kilo made a statement to the site talking about how he “felt real bad and kinda embarrassed.”

----Kilo was featured in the main event in April, 2007 as the NBW Arena packed 307 people for Rikishi/Jeremy Moore/Big Red beat by DQ over “Cash Flow” [Mark Justice/Kilo/Gaylon Ray] [photo above]. An Arena Report was filed with it being noted, “Kilo was really shining in the ring with Rikishi.”

----Kilo beat Chris Rocker and Pokerface to become the new NBW Champion in June, 2007. Kilo was also holding the tag straps along with Gaylon Ray/Mark Justice as “Cash Flow” at the time. Kilo lost the singles title in July to Tim Edwards at Vendetta.

----In September of 2007, they ran a hot angle with Mark Justice pulling Auburn Thunder out of the audience and him beating on her. It was shut down real quick, when NBW thought it was “too hot” for their TV show and just completely forgotten.

----Later in the year, Kilo had a feud with 187 and everyone was raving about the quality of the matches. Kilo would win RRO’s Most Underrated 2007 award proving that not only to the fans, but to his peers he was a great worker. He also was ranked in the Top Five of workers in Yearbook 2007.

----2008 Kilo continued his tag team specialty by joining up early in the year with Tommy Redneck to form “Southern Pride” again and winning the tag straps. He also formed a new heel team with his former “Pretty Sexxy” partner Mark Justice as “SOBs” and would hold the tag straps with him again. In August they teamed vs. Derrick King/Jeremy Moore at “Summer Jam 2008” with Kilo being the star of the bout and show. Just recently they split the team up again and it seemed a little too forced and it seemed to be something Kilo was not enjoying.

----Kilo, as noted, will be stepping into TIWF as their top worker joining up with some old MSWA guys - Wildside/WayCool/Ravishing Randy - and should fit in good. He will be managed by his wife Auburn Thunder and I look for them to push him quickly into the top spot as TIWF Champion. Kilo is also joined by other CCW/MSWA alumni as “Big” Dave Sims has joined the TIWF crew as one of their announcers. What will this all lead to?? Will Kilo convince others from NBW to join him?? Kilo and Mark Justice have spent many years working for the same promotions; will Mark be not too far behind?? In the running for 2008 “Promotion of the Year” TIWF gets a shot in the arm with new talent and Kilo gets a new “life” for them.
