Even with his admitted limited skill set, he was given the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship on October 23, 1989, and held it for about two weeks. Eventually Wright parlayed his training into a job with Jerry Lawler in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) with the gimmick the wrestlers from the bar had given him and took the name The Soultaker, taken from one of the tattoos on his arm. The wrestlers involved gave him the advice that, with his large body type and unique ( tattooed) look, he should try seeking out Larry Sharpe and his Monster Factory to get into the business.
