Yeah I remember it.
It was based out of FL, and had Lane and DiBiase & Chris Cruise doing commentary and all that. It was kinda like the first XWF or TNA in a way, as it was supposed to be the family - themed alternative to WWF. They spent most of their money on getting custom belts (I believe from Reggie Parks or J-Mar, I forget) and then getting wrestlers on some of the baddest deals going.
Then they used some of the shittiest guys around (Devin Nash, The Shane Twins, etc.) since they were FL-based jobbers. Another bad move. They did have some good guys there [Erik Watts, Tommy Rogers, Mike Enos, Stan Lane, etc.], but the horribleness of the production and storylines and matches outweighed the good. It also didn't help that they never promoted anything, and ran tapings out of 1/2 empty buildings.
With the right guidance it could've been something big, but it flopped.
