Gower continued wrestling in various Southern independent promotions having memorable matches, and gaining invaluable experience, against veterans such as Ray Candy, Randy Rose, Ted Allen, Ron Starr, Mr. Wrestling II, Dick Slater, Ken Timbs, Dusty Rhodes, Mike Golden, Abdullah the Butcher, The Bullet, Scott Studd, Billy Black, Lee Thomas, Grizzly Boone, and others. One of the top stars for Joe Pedicino's Georgia All-Star Wrestling, he won the GASW Heavyweight Championship from Nick Busick in Carrollton on December 2, 1990, and held the title for over four months before dropping the title to Joel Deaton in Canton, Georgia on April 21, 1991. He also ran a wrestling school during this period for the Masked Superstar, and later the Global Wrestling Federation's training facility, where he trained a number of wrestlers including Marcus Alexander Bagwell, Disco Inferno, Murder One and his younger brother Terry Lawler. Bagwell, wrestling under the name "The Fabulous Fabian", defeated Gower for the GASW (North Georgia) Television Championship in his first professional match. On September 15, 1991, Gowen faced his former student a second time at an interpromotional show in Marietta, Georgia between the Global Wrestling Federation, where Bagwell was now wrestling as "The Handsome Stranger", and Georgia All-Star Wrestling which he lost to Bagwell via disqualification.
