Professional wrestling career
Somers began his professional wrestling career in Arkansas wrestling under the name "Primetime" Shawn Winters (one match).
After appearing in several promotions Somers moved to Missouri to Mid Ozark Championship Wrestling (MOCW) and formed a heel (villainous) tag team with Gunny Marvelous known as the L.A. Connection. They began a feud over the MOCW Tag Team Championship with the McCoy Clan and Eric Sparks and Mongoose. The team held the title at least five times. Their final reign came to an end in 2001 at the hands of the Searcher and Geno "The Exterminator". The L.A. Connection went on to become the NWA Missouri State Tag Team champions, holding the belts for several months until Marvelous left the company.
On March 30, 2002, Somers defeated the 7-foot 2-inch Butch McClain to become the undisputed NWA Central States Heavyweight Champion.
He then went on to win the Missouri State title on three different occasions.
Somers was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Independent Missouri Hall of Fame in 2005.
