Southern Comfort
Epitomizing the darker facets of Southern charm was Southern Comfort, consisting of Louisiana natives "The Gentleman" James Montgomery and "Bayou" Benny Lacroix. James, raised in a rural mansion of Magnolia Hall, sees the wrestling ring as a stage to flaunt the superiority he believes is his birthright, reminiscent of his family's domineering presence in Louisiana agriculture. His approach in the ring—polite yet merciless, gracious yet scheming—mirrors the historical contradictions of Southern aristocracy. His partner, Benny, channels the untamed and raw spirit of the bayou, employing deceitful tactics that reflect a long-standing tradition of survival at any cost. Together, they wield their Southern heritage as both a weapon and a shield, often crossing into the realm of hypocrisy as they claim to represent Southern pride while their actions in the ring tell a story of exploitation and cunning manipulation.
