SWWS Owner
banch morgan

The proud owner of Southwest Wrestling Syndicate, Banch Morgan has been involved in professional wrestling since 2006. He reached immediate success as an entertaining fixture across several promotions. In 2012, he chose to step away from being an active competitor to focus on raising his daughter. His ambition never changed, however. Moving to the Los Angeles area, he became enamoured with filmmaking, leading to the creation of Goliath Studios. Morgan, a single father, made the decision to juggle a busy personal life with an insane professional life. Goliath Studios had produced several successful films, allowing him to purchase his training grounds, the House of Paine Academy.

From there, he decided on the creation of Southwest Wrestling Syndicate. Using his networked connections with the Kazoka Office, he formulated a business model that became the product we see today.
