Vince McMahon Returns... McMahon officially returned to Mid South tonight during the television tapings. His crew was definitely happy to see him but there were sour grapes on the other side of the fence as Dundee has his crew. The whole angle involving the JYD returning was fast tracked by Dundee who feels he is the top draw and some are wondering if this will just be another opportunity for Ted Dibiase to turn on him and join Hernandez and Blanchard. McMahon was very vocal against this once again and did his best to get the support of Watts who has been spotty at best over the past couple of weeks. Word on the home front is that Vince McMahon Sr is in rough shape due to his cancer. Dundee even went as far as to say that Vince was distracted and couldn't make the right call if he had to. McMahon stayed calm and said as long as he had control of the contracts and booking talent, Dundee needs to do his job and book things the right way. World tag titles coming to Mid South? Bill Watts has been lobbying very hard for the Fantastics to get a run as World Tag Team Champions but it has gone on deaf ears in the NWA. Watts has even looked at getting them a shot in the USWA and even a run but nothing official as of yet. Two-rings...1 winner! Paul Boesch has been lobbying hard for a huge night in Houston on the 25th as he is going to put up the special two ring set. The Main Event is said to be a huge two ring battle royal. There is even said to be a six-man tag involving both rings at one point. There are a lot of rumors floating around but nothing is set in stone as to how it will all go down. Orton and Slater coming in... Bob Orton Jr and Dick Slater are two of Mid South's newest acquisitions thanks to Vince McMahon. The only issue with the timing is the Superdome Card being finalized but they will be used on the House Shows throughout the rest of the month and may debut on television in the coming weeks following the Superdome.

5/16/1984 - Mid South Wrestling Live – Shreveport, Louisiana - Irish McNeil Boy’s Club Mid South Wrestling is coming to you on its Fox Affiliates throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Action is coming to you tonight from the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club in Shreveport, Louisiana! {MSW opens this week with a lot of footage. We first the big moment when King Kong Bundy defeated Wahoo McDaniel with the help of Scott Casey this past weekend in Houston to become the number one contender! We then see footage from a house cam showing Rick Rude defeating Magnum TA with the help of Scott Casey! The final video shows the conclusion of last week’s show when the Junkyard Dog accepted the contract to come back to Mid South and team with Ted Dibiase to take on Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard in the Superdome! Jim Ross and Bill Watts are standing by!} Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross alongside the Cowboy Bill Watts. Cowboy, we have got an action packed night ahead of us but in just 10 days, it is the Superdome and it may just be the Last Stampede! Bill Watts: That’s right Ross. Lemme tell you something… I shined up the boots just this morning brother and I am ready for the last Stampede. The All-American Brawl! USA vs Russia and these Russians are going to get what’s coming to them! Jim Ross: Fans tonight we will see Nikita Koloff in action for the first time, plus the tag team champions, the Fantastics, and we will see a huge six-man main event, Hacksaw Duggan, Magnum TA, and Wahoo McDaniel taking on Bundy, Rude, and Casey… it is going to be a barn burner! Bill Watts: That good for nothing turn coat Scott Casey dug his own grave brother. He is going to get what is coming to him tonight, but also in the Superdome… he is going to be facing Wahoo and brother you know he will feel that power of the Chief! Jim Ross: Fans it is going to be a great night… wait just a moment… what… {We see Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard show up. They are dressed to the nines but also holding briefcase…} Jim Ross: What are you two… Gino Hernandez: Just cool out there Jimbo… cool out and open your eyes and shut your mouth! Right here brother, you are looking at the premiere team in all of professional wrestling. There’s been a lot of people talking about the rise and fall of Hernandez and Blanchard… but brother this is the rise right here. Tully Blanchard: That’s right Gino… we took a little trip up to Atlantic City this weekend and came back with something special… {They open up the case full of money…} Gino Hernandez: This right here is $200,000! This right here is the key to the Superdome… you see it is just too bad Bill Watts that the JYD’s contract doesn’t start till the Superdome or else I’d step in that ring right now and show him just what I think of him… {The crowd explodes as the JYD comes out!} JYD: Now wait just a minute there Gino. You see I talked to the Cowboy… we agreed that we can’t wait till the Superdome… if you wanna do the thing, let’s do the thing! {The crowd is chanting JYD!} Gino Hernandez: Hold it there dirty dog…now I was just funnin… Tully Blanchard: Yeah JYD… we didn’t want to fight… we wanted to offer you something… Gino Hernandez: Inside this case is $200,000… and how would you like half of it? {The crowd is booing…} Tully Blanchard: Now you know how much you could do with $100,000… here’s the thing… you take the money and come the 26th… you take the night off. Gino Hernandez: You make like you got something to do and we will finish off Ted Dibiase once and for all and then you don’t ever have to worry about him again. Tully Blanchard: Now we want you to think about it… take some time… but the clock is ticking… you let us know what WE can do for you! {Hernandez and Blanchard take the case and walk off to a chorus of Boos! Ross and Watts put it over as we head to the ring…} Ivan Putski vs Invader 2 -A simple showcase for the Polish Power… Ivan Putski. He handles Invader 2 with no problems and ends things with the Bearhug. Putski gets a nice pop from the crowd as we see him exit but in his way in the entryway is… -Ross and Watts put over the Barbarian! Who is this guy? What is his plan? More when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* -We return to MSW with some footage of the World Tag Team Champions… the Guerreros. Ross and Watts return putting them over and say they will be in the arena next week! They will face the Fantastics in the Superdome but Bobby and Tommy are here tonight! The Fantastics © vs Jose Estrada & Victor Rivera -A great showcase for the Fantastics who are looking CRISP! They have got the titles back. They have got the fans behind them. They nail a great Rocket Launcher for the 1….2…3 and that’s all she wrote! -Bobby and Tommy join Ross and Watts to put over the World Tag Team Title contest in the Superdome. They say they are going for the gold and want to unify the titles and bring the gold back to Mid South! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting over the action of the night and then they turn to the All American Brawl and Ross puts over the Russians while Watts says his All Americans are going to be ready for the fight of a life time! Ivan Koloff is shown walking to the ring with Nikita and Krusher Kruschev behind him. Ivan cuts a quick promo before Nikita Koloff steps in and he is going to be in handicap action here tonight. Ken Raper & Barry Horowitz vs Nikita Koloff w/ Ivan & Krusher -90-seconds. It is only 90 seconds for Nikita Koloff to just completely destroy these two guys. He hits a couple of big power slams. A couple of huge body press slams. Nikita then sets up for a huge RUSSIAN SICKLE on Barry and then Raper and stacks them for the 1….2….3! Nikita looks completely unstoppable. Ivan and Krusher just laugh it up as Watts and Company look on. What a war this is going to be! *COMMERCIAL* ­-MSW returns with footage from earlier and the $100,000 offer from Hernandez and Blanchard to the JYD. Watts puts over JYD vs Gino next week! Ross puts over the Guerreros as they will be here next week in action. They turn their attention to his huge main event as we head to the ring for this contest… Hacksaw Duggan, Magnum TA, & Wahoo McDaniel vs King Kong Bundy, Rick Rude, & Scott Casey w/ Bobby Heenan -It doesn’t get much bigger than this. The North American and TV champions are here. Heenan has got his men primed and here we go! This one is a fast paced 15-minute affair. We get to see all six-men involved and just tastes of what is to come. Duggan and Bundy really excite the crowd and there is something special to be had. Casey and Wahoo have got some heat but it is Magnum and Rude who bring the crowd to a roar. As the match get near the end we get complete chaos. Heenan is trying to get involved but he gets CRACKED by Duggan who is outside the ring with Bundy. Wahoo and Rude lock up but inside the ring we see Casey go for a big clothesline but Magnum ducks and BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! 1….2….3! Magnum and company win! Heenan tries to get his men regrouped as we see Heenan, Rude, and Bundy once again walk away and leave Casey in the ring… Ross is going nuts on commentary though as something is happening in the back… -We cut to the camera outside of the arena where Gino and Tully are shown yelling into a car. That is TED DIBIASE! Gino and Tully are yelling something at him and then they throw the briefcase in the car as Dibiase speeds off! What is going on here? Tully and Gino push the camera away as we fade to black…

And in reality if we just want the simple stats of everything without all the extra production, we could probably do it that first week of June and have everything there. It is all about the production. Grimmas did an awesome job doing that piece along with promoting a lot of conversation, if that isn't going to happen with this list, we can simply go ahead and post the list with the stats and go from there to make it a simple process.

I think if we get all of the pre work done here before June we would probably be able to go quicker. Our schedule was going to be 50 teams the first week and then 25 the subsequent 3 weeks. If that isn't fast enough we could definitely speed it up and make it a quicker process

We are getting everything set right now to try and follow up with how well Grimmas did for the singles. As it stands right now, we will be starting the list on June 1st and finishing on the 30th. Let the excitement begin.

I'd be willing to help since school is getting out and I can invest some time in it.

I wish we could have voted for Tag Teams after the singles stretch wore down to do some more watching. Seeing these guys in the wild brawls and good tag team matches, not to mention they are the first WWF and WCW tag team champions (Tully and Arn were NWA) gives them a great edge for me. They aren't the greatest of all time, but they are definitely enjoyable when they are on. Steiners vs Nasties Havoc 90 still holds up as one of my all time fav tag matches.

I was surprised to see Snuka go down... the finals are shaping up big time for a potential Race vs Bock or Dory in my book. Should be a prime time contest.

Pretty good stuff from USWA again here. I have said it before, you've got a great job picking up the pace with all the avenues you are traveling down with this promotion. Kerry is one of my all time faves and to see him in this setting has been quite good and it can only spell superstar in the future if things continue down this track.

I think I have the database up to date with the recent moves. I would ask that you guys maybe send me in a message or on the database post a list of your "other characters." Mid South - Bill Watts, Jim Ross, Joel Watts, Vince McMahon, Grizzly Smith, PeeWee Anderson, & Nick Patrick Just let me know who your are using in some of those roles to help with matters. For instance, I am going to use Lord Alfred as a manager for Billy Robinson but if I were just going to use him as an announcer, I would put him in my "others" and he wouldn't count against my list... Does that make sense since he wouldn't be used as a manager and just an announcer. If I changed that, I would need to put him back on my 40.... make sense?

Mid South sends Dino Bravo, Frenchy Martin, Samu, and players to be named later... Lutte Internationale sends Dick Slater, Bob Orton Jr, & Tonga Kid, and players to be named later...

5/9/1984 - Mid South Wrestling Live – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Civic Center Mid South Wrestling is coming to you on its Fox Affiliates throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Action is coming to you tonight from the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. -MSW opens up this week with footage of the rise and subsequent fall of Tully Blanchard and Gino Hernandez. We see them winning all the titles and then losing all the titles last week. The final scene is that of Ted Dibiase challenging Blanchard and Hernandez and then announcing that he had a contract for the Junkyard Dog to join him against Hernandez and Blanchard on the 26th in the Superdome! We cut to Jim Ross who is standing by… Jim Ross: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross and fans I want to welcome in right now, the one, the only, Cowboy Bill Watts! Cowboy, I see you are joined right now by the All Americans, Mike Rotundo and Steve Williams… are they ready for the All American Brawl at the Superdome? Cowboy Bill Watts: Well lemme tell you something Jim Ross… I have got these two men right here ready for the fight of their lives brother. You are talking about American vs Russian. Decency vs Scum in my opinion. These three come out here and just run America into the dirt… well we are right here boys and we are going to rise up from the ashes and we are going to be the ones putting you down or good! -The crowd pops big for Watts who is going wild right now… Cowboy Bill Watts: Now you wanna talk about the Superdome? I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but I have got a limo going to pick up the Junkyard Dog from the airport, and he is going to be here tonight to answer Ted Dibiase! He is going to be here in about 45-minutes and I am told he has some input on what is going to happen. -The fans are screaming for the JYD!! Cowboy Bill Watts: Now I have got a couple more announcements. First… the Television Championship… this Friday night, Rick Rude is going to get a shot at Magnum TA… and the North American title… this Friday night in Houston, we’re going to have a number one contender match between Wahoo McDaniel and King Kong Bundy and the winner is going on to the Superdome to face Duggan! Now… that leaves the tag titles… and tonight we have got that big Texas Tornado, Loser Leaves Town Tag Team Championship Match…. Well the losers are leaving Mid South but the winners… they are going on to the Superdome to face the Guerreros in an NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match! Now it is time to see these two in action, let’s take it to the ring! The All Americans vs Two Bad Dudes (Koko & Norvell under masks) -While they are hiding who they are, these two bad dudes have got some great stuff going even under the masks. The match isn’t fully two-sided but Williams and Rotundo give them some space to work. It isn’t much space though as Dr. Death nails the biggest Oklahoma Slam you’ve ever seen for the 1…..2….3!! Williams and Rotundo celebrate but we see the Russians in the aisle-way… this one could go down at any point in time… but tonight isn’t the night. The Russians are just soaking it in and Nikita Koloff looks SO FUCKING BIG! He is going to be unleashed for real next week… get pumped! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting over all the action from tonight and then build up to our next big contest between Wahoo McDaniel and Rick Rude. They put over the Heenan Family and talk about the big showdown this Friday night when Wahoo McDaniel will take on King Kong Bundy for a shot at the North American title. They also put over Rick Rude’s big chance this Friday night in Houston to take the TV title from Magnum TA! We head to the ring for this big contest. Wahoo McDaniel vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan A white hot contest here as Wahoo rips the RIP shirt right off of Rick Rude’s chest! Wahoo is sending him rocking and reeling with some HUGE chops and the fans are just going NUTS! Heenan calls out of the reinforcements as we see Bundy, Adonis, and Murdoch run out. The crowd is stirring as they are starting to surround the ring. The crowd then really pops when Magnum TA and Scott Casey run out and shit is about to hit the fan! We get a couple more minutes of action before Adonis and Murdoch try to get involved but Magnum and Casey pull them down. Here comes the Fantastics to help the cause. Bundy is looking to get a shot in on Wahoo but here comes Casey and he nails Bundy in the back. Heenan then jumps up and Casey is about to crack him but Heenan ducks and Casey nails Wahoo instead! Rude then pulls the tights with a roll up for the 1…2….3!! Casey jumps down and goes after Bundy as we’ve got pure chaos right now with Watts and Ross just going nuts on commentary! *COMMERCIAL* -We are back for MSW and it has alredy begun as inside the ring the tag team contenst has started. The tag team titles are on the line and so are the contracts. Watts and Ross put over how one of these teams will be leaving Mid South after tonight and one of them will be able to face the world tag team champions in the Superdome! LOSER LEAVES TOWN MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TEXAS TORNADO MATCH The Fantastics © vs Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch w/ Bobby Heenan -This one is picked up hot right off that bat! We see the best out of both of these teams for 15-minutes. With no tags, it is an all out brawl. They even take the fight outside the ring and we see the evolution of the Fantastics. As Murdoch and Adonis are working over Fulton, Tommy Rogers runs off the apron and flying cross body taking both men out! The crowd is white hot right now! We see Heenan trying to bring out Bundy but Hacksaw Duggan is there and he CRACKS HIM OVER THE BACK WITH THE 2x4! Inside the ring Murdoch and Adonis try to isolate Fulton as Rogers has still got some steam. Heenan however grabs Roger’s leg while inside the ring, Murdoch and Adonis set up Fulton for a SPIKE PILEDRIVER! Rogers kicks Heenan away and then goes up top and leaps for a flying dropkick that nails Murdoch right on the chin! Adonis comes flying for a clothesline but Rogers with a backdrop. Fulton is getting up to his feet as Rogers flips Adonis into the ropes and here comes a double dropkick from the Fantastics for the 1…2…3!!! OH MY! Fulton and Rogers have won it and the crowd is going nuts!! Duggan grabs their belts and holds his own while the three of them celebrate in the ring. Heenan is going nuts outside the ring, as he can’t believe it! Adonis and Murdoch are irate. Watts and Ross put this through the roof. The crowd is going wild as we may never see Adonis and Murdoch again! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW is back with limited time remaining. Ross and Watts are putting over the nights action before the crowd stirs with the arrival of Ted Dibiase. He walks over to Ross and Watts… Jim Ross: Is he here? Did she show up? Ted Dibiase: I don’t know… I haven’t heard yet… Bill Watts: Wait just a moment… ­-THE JYD IS HERE! THE JYD IS HERE! He walks over and joins everyone… the crowd is going absolutely insane right now! Jim Ross: Welcome in here Junkyard Dog! JYD: Oh Jim Ross, it is good to be home daddy. I love me some Mid South Wrasslin and brother I am back here to put this together. Jim Ross: Now do you understand the circumstances? JYD: I think I got an idea… Ted Dibiase: I don’t know if you do. Let me lay it out for you. On the 26th in the Superdome, this contract stats that you can step back into that ring and team with me. Let me make it perfectly clear Dog… you and I have never seen… JYD: Why don’t you let me explain it to you Dibiase! I sign on that dotted line, I get to step back into the ring on the 26th in the Superdome! You and I have never seen eye to eye and brother don’t you think for a minute I can trust you today. I know you are doing this for you… if you had it your way you’d have me gone forever… but brother, if it gets me back in the ring and a shot at the title, I am going to sign on the dotted line! Ted Dibiase: I guess you do know it… then sign the line… -JYD signs the line and the crowd goes wild. This is the most unholy of alliances right now and there is no telling what could happen when these two walk into the Superdome together in a little over 2 weeks!

That all works out well.

I'm gonna go ahead and drop Kurt Von Hess for Billy Robinson

I guess we can formally welcome Sir Edgar and International Wrestling into the fold. I know he has made some rosters moves with some others and should be kicking things off here in the coming weeks. A reminder, tomorrow morning, your complete roster control goes into full effect, I will try and keep up with changes as they happen.

Awesome. We can go ahead with this tomorrow morning then... say 8am central to have complete roster management of your 40 spots.

With regards to the draft... I think we are going to go ahead with Sir Edgar getting Detroit's roster and doing his movements. Southeastern will remain open to new writers or Boon even if he wants to come back which I hope he would. But if nothing is done by July we can cross that bridge and see what we can do with the out of work guys. Until then, the loans that Boon sent out are in full effect until July 1st.

Hey guys, first things first, this is not a post to RAISE the roster cap by any means, but more or less a roster cap management thing I wanted to put out to everyone. Right now we have a 37 workers +3 managers roster cap for a total of 40. In July, we will get another +1 and my proposal is to make it so you can have full management of your cap. This would be geared towards being able to have full management of the roster so right now I can only have 3 managers, but with this proposed change, I can use the 40 spots on my roster any way that I'd like. I could have 4 managers if I want. I could have 4 jobber packs if I want. Then I could have 32 worker spots for the total of 40 still, just using my cap management the way I want rather than being limited to how many managers, jobber packs, or workers I want. If someone wanted they could also hire 40 workers with no managers or jobber packs. If they only wanted 20 workers.... it wouldn't matter. You have the choice over the 40 spots allotted to you. This isn't a way to limit things but rather open up possibilities on you can have total control of your roster. I know some concerns would be someone having 5 jobber packs, but they are simply jobber packs, those people shouldn't be used as main workers in any way and we can police that as a group. What do you guys think?

Awesome, awesome, awesome return to the project. Looking forward to where you go after this big time start. You have put all the pieces into place and now they will set up a great future for Memphis wrestling.

Welcome aboard Patrick. Patrick is looking to move the Big Time/Detroit roster up to Canada. He is going to look around and see what's going on and then we will formally announce him stepping in if it works out.

You have done a great job bringing in these new stars like Dusty Rhodes and Company into the uswa and pushing them to the Moon right off the bat. Without a doubt there's no question that Dusty vs. Sullivan is a hot Feud and you are giving it the right way and time to make sure that it goes over in a big way. The biggest question continues to be what happens when it's all said and done. Do you follow the way that history did it or do you do it differently I'm interested to see how it plays out as the dream and the devil could never coexist.

VINCE MCMAHON SENT HOME! -In perhaps the most shocking turn of events, Vince McMahon has left Mid South after a huge blow up with Bill Dundee during this week's Mid South television tapings. Bill Watts had to bring McMahon and Dundee in a closed room meeting that was said to be very loud and violent. McMahon has verbally spoken out against the direction Dundee has been taking Mid South, especially the removal of the titles from Hernandez and Blanchard. Tully and Hernandez left the tapings after their segments before the show ended and there are some major issues running backstage at a time in which Mid South is doing some amazing business and heading for one of the biggest shows of the year at the end of May. Dundee has put Jim Ross and Joel Watts in charge of television production and Grizzly Smith in charge of the talent while McMahon is gone. Watts says it is only for two weeks and one has to wonder what will happen when and if McMahon does return. BILL WATTS POLITICS -In addition to the Dundee booking and McMahon fiasco, Bill Watts has now booked himself in the semi-main event for the Superdome show at the end of May. There are a lot of detractors towards Watts putting himself in a position to possibly kill off the Russian angle before it really gets going. McMahon especially sees a lot of money in Nikita Koloff and is worried Watts is going to put him down early to show that he is still the man in charge. To go along with this, Watts has also put himself in the front running position to join the USWA and possibly become the president. This is in part to Dundee's ties with the USWA and Watts using that as leverage to the position, not to mention the hot bed he has created in the Mid South territory.
