I transplanted some tomato plants, and today they look pretty wilted. What am I doing wrong?

So, I had a goliath tomato plant that I over watered, which inevitably died right before it was just starting to produce some tomatoes, and to i decided to roto till it under since the garden was over grown with weeds. To my surpise, 8 new goliath tomato plants popped up right in its place! They were all between 3 inches and about 10 inches tall. I have a gardening book that says you are supposed to pluck the leaves off, all except for just the top few, lay the majority of the stem in a furrow, and the tomato plants should do really well, so that's what I did (spacing them out with about 2 feet in between each. I think I might have just killed goliath tomato plants 2 through 9! I walk out there today, and they are all wilted, and looking pitiful. I need to do some goliath tomato 911 CPR. How can i revive them? I really, really want some prize winning tomatos this year. (By the way, I'm in NC, so we should have some warm weather for at least the next 2.5 months before we are in any danger of a freeze) Thanks for any advice!
