They next went to World Championship Wrestling in 1989 where they feuded with The Fabulous Freebirds. This feud lasted over a year with the Southern Boys winning most of the matches but getting laid out quite a bit.

In 1991, they turned heel and changed their name to The Young Pistols and feuded with The Patriots and the team of Ron Simmons and Big Josh. By 1992, the team split as Smothers left WCW for ECW and Steve teamed with his brother, Scott Armstrong.
