Press Release - Paul Boesch $200,000 Tag Team Invitational
LowBlowPodcast replied to LowBlowPodcast's topic in The Archives
Three huge SUPER-TEAMS just announced for the $200,000 invitational tournament. Killer Khan will be teaming with Abdullah the Butcher! Mr. USA Tony Atlas is going to be teaming with Andre the Giant! Plus Stan Hansen has said he will be in the tournament with Bruiser Brody! -
I know the women have been used quite sparingly... could I possibly get them every Thursday and Saturday. If anyone else wants them, please chime in, but since they are rarely used, I was going to try and take a run at them.

There has been some dissension within Mid South on the booking and production of Power Pro. Bill Watts isn't happy with the playback of matches taped from television tapings in Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Shreveport, and New Orleans. This was McMahon's way of saving money and booking fees to keep all the regular big names from regular tv tapings to put shows on Power Pro. It has been working well as Watts and McMahon have been bringing in big talent for television like the Freebirds, Guerreros, and Andre... then they get to be booked on MSW and then show up on Power Pro. This was evident this week on MSW with the announcement of the big North American Title tournament. The Semi-Finals will be held next week on MSW with the finals being taped after the show and airing on Power Pro the following Sunday. This was a way to save money on booking the Freebirds once instead of multiple weeks when Gordy was the only one needed. Speaking of booking blunders and issues... Paul Boesch and Bill Watts are already having issues with the big $200,000 tournament. Boesch wanted to bring in Brody and Hansen but Watts says if Brody is there he will be pulling all of the Mid South talent. While the show is Mid South heavy, there is a lot of outside talent coming in but Watts was a firm NO on Brody after he no showed the Superdome in early February. It was Jim Ross and Vince McMahon who had to be the cooler ones to prevail as McMahon helped persuade Boesch while Ross and Watts calmed things down.

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 Shreveport, Louisiana @ the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club. {We see the hype video for MSW as we cut to the arena where Jim Ross is standing by.} Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross and fans we are coming to you from the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club here in Shreveport Louisiana and fans we have got a huge night of Mid South action coming your way. Tonight we will see a big one on one matchup with Tully Blanchard taking on Michael PS Hayes and in our main event, the world tag team titles will be on the line when the Guerreros take on the Fantastics. Tonight we will also see Dr. Death Steve Williams in action along with Rick Rude. Fans it is going to be a great night… now wait just a moment… {Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard walk out to the set…} Jim Ross: What are you two doing out here? Gino Hernandez: Jim Ross why don’t you do everyone a favor and just keep that mouth shut. You see last week we sat here and heard Grizzly Smith talking about 30-days for Mr. Wrestling II. We heard him talk about him losing that title… well the question has to be asked now… Tully Blanchard: We want to know about Ted Dibiase. Seems like old Teddy had a little slip and fall a couple of weeks ago and we haven’t seen or heard from him in quite some time… Jim Ross: A little slip and fall… you two piledrove him into the cement floor! Tully Blanchard: Details are in the eye of the behold Ross… what we did was send a message. We sent a message to every single person in the world of wrestling. The magazines, the headlines, the news reports… they all say the same thing… Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard… one and one together taking over the world. Gino Hernandez: The winds of change brother and blowing about as strong as a hurricane… first it was Brody, then it was Watts, then it was Dibiase… the question is left for the world… who’s next!?! {The crowd then explodes when Bill Watts walks out! He gets right in the face of Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard…} Bill Watts: Now don’t kid yourselves… I am not out here for a fight… but if I was… I’d give you two the beating of a lifetime! Now you wanna come out here and talk about injuries and 30-days… well let me be the first to tell the two of you that you don’t call the shots! You don’t make the decisions…. I DO! Now I spoke to Ted Dibiase and against his doctor’s orders, he is going to be here next week on a special Leap Year edition of MSW! Next week he’s going to be here and next week’s he’s going to watch the semi finals of a tournament. You see this Friday night in San Antonio there is going to be a one round tournament to narrow 8 men down to 4. Next week right here on MSW, Ted Dibiase will sit right here with Jim Ross and watch the semi-finals as we determine who will go into the finals and who will face him on March the 21st right here on Mid South Wrestling! Here’s the bracket for the tournament on Friday night… Michael Hayes vs Gino Hernandez Terry Gordy vs King Kong Bundy Wahoo McDaniel vs Krusher Kruschev Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Tully Blanchard -The crowd pops as Hernandez and Tully don’t balk at Watt’s announcement. We then hear the Freebirds’ music as Michal Hayes, Buddy Roberts, and Terry Gordy come down to ringside for our first big opening contest! Michael Hayes vs Tully Blanchard -We have officials around ringside trying to clear up the mess as we’ve got a lot of extra guys around. We see a nice cheapshot from Gino on Hayes that looks to possibly bust his nose as we have got a commercial break. When we come back, Tully is all over Hayes. Ross puts this over the best he can as we’ve got two of the premiere athletes right now in the sport. For what its worth, Michael Hayes does not have the flashiest repertoire of professional wrestling maneuvers, but damn he can get the crowd going. From the word go, Tully is the offensive juggernaut and Hayes just sells and sells and then when it comes time he gets his comeback. He starts hammering away with rights and lefts and then a huge back body drop! Hayes hits a small moonwalk and then a nasty left hook that knocks Blanchard right out of the ring to the floor! Hayes and Blanchard go out of the ring and they are battling. PeeWee Anderson comes out and he is trying to hold up the action but nothing doing. Gino Hernandez runs out and he NAILS HAYES! He grabs his left and smashes his fist into the ring post! Here comes Gordy and Roberts and we’ve got a brawl! PeeWee Anderson calls for the bell as this one has gone completely wild. Officials and agents come out to break it up. The Freebirds aren’t done, as they want some revenge on Gino and Tully who have somehow got the best of them. *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Jim Ross putting over the big tournament one more time as he runs through the matchups. Michael Hayes vs Gino Hernandez Terry Gordy vs King Kong Bundy Wahoo McDaniel vs Krusher Kruschev Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Tully Blanchard -He then turns his attention to Don Muraco who joins him at ringside. They talk about his recent change of feelings and what has gone on. Muraco says that he is going to change some things and really take the bull by the horns. We then see Scott Casey come out and he interrupts him and says that he’s the rightful champion! Casey and Muraco start jaw jacking a little bit before Muraco says he would be happy to see him in the ring at any point in time. Casey says he’s got stuff to do and jumps into the ring. Johnny Rodz vs Scott Casey -A good showcase for Casey who has continued to be one of the top wrestlers week in and week out. Muraco and Ross put him over but Muraco says he would love to step in the ring with him and see just what he has got. Casey handles Rodz with ease and gets the Brainbuster 1…2….3! He points at Muraco and says he’s going to feel the same thing! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts joined by Wahoo McDaniel and Magnum TA. They are putting over their feud with Rick Rude and King Kong Bundy. They put over the big tournament in San Antonio this Friday and Magnum says he would to love to get that shot and will work hard to earn it in the future. We then wee Rude walk out with Bundy and Jimmy Hart. Wahoo says he wants to get that one final match with Bundy and will do whatever it takes to earn it. Omar Atlas vs Rick Rude w/ King Kong Bundy & Jimmy Hart -A fun little showcase with Rude really coming into his own. He has got the body and the mouth with Jimmy Hart. He is putting it together in the ring with some sharp strikes and back breaking power maneuvers. He works over Atlas’ neck and finishes him off with the Rude Awakening for the 1…2…3! Rude and Bundy work the crowd with Hart acting a fool and welcoming Wahoo and Magnum into the ring! This one is building into something special… *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Jim Ross putting over the USA vs Russia feud. Kruschev walks out with Markoff anf Smirnoff and they put themselves over big time. They talk about Hacksaw Duggan and how there is no way he will be able to survive the tournament and will never get his hands on a title. Hacksaw Duggan walks out with Dr. Death and we are told that they’ve got a third partner. They are going to introduce him next week right here on MSW! Dr. Death Steve Williams vs Dark Shadow -A glorified squash here for Williams who is running wild with the red, the white, and the blue. He hammers down on Shadow and makes him pay. He looks out to the Russians as Hacksaw Duggan gets the USA chant going. We see the big OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE for the 1…2…3! Williams and Hacksaw work the crowd and next week they are going to make their stand against the Russians! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Ross putting over all the nights’ action. The Guerreros walk out, gold enshrined just working the crowd over. Hector gets on the microphone with Ross and puts over his family and says they are the one true family in all of wrestling. Ross puts over the big Mexican Death Match this Friday night in San Antonio against Mil Mascaras and Jose Lothario. The Guerreros say that they are going to get every tag title in every territory and show the world why they are the best, plain and simple. Ross puts over the Fantastics as we head into our main event! NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Fantastics vs The Guerreros © w/ Hector -There’s around 14-minutes of television time remaining and these guys go the full 14 and have got the crowd going white hot the entire time. Fulton and Rogers do their best sell and put everything on the table. Mando and Chavo do some great slimy heel work and Ross puts them through the roof. We see Hector get involved here and there to add some fuel to the fire. Fulton and Rogers do everything they can to outlast their competitors and the uneven odds! Ross loses his mind when Hector grabs Fulton’s leg leading to Chavo kneeing him in the back. We get a big 2 on 1 but out of the back runs Jose Lothario and he CRACKS Hector Guerrero with a huge right hand! He goes flying! We see all four men in the ring and one thing comes to anther and Nick Patrick gets rocked by Tommy Rogers. We see Mando tackle him out of the ring to the floor. Inside, Chavo goes for a big clothesline but Fulton ducks and grabs him for a German Suplex and here comes PeeWee Anderson for the 1….2…..3!!! What just happened here??!?? Nick Patrick is up and he pulls PeeWee over…. -Jim Ross is trying to figure out what’s going on. PeeWee Anderson holds up the hands of the Fantastics but Patrick pulls them down and holds up the Guerreros! Bill Watts and Grizzly Smith walk out and talk to the referees. Boyd Pierce says that PeeWee Anderson counted 3 but Nick Patrick, the main referee disqualified Tommy Rogers before the fall. Bill Watts holds everything up and says that next week, right here on MSW, it is going to be the semi finals of the North American Title Tournament, but also a 2/3 falls World Tag Team vs Mid South Tag Team Championship match! The crowd pops and Ross puts this through the roof as we fade out… -

NWA World Heavyweight Champion Booking Thread
LowBlowPodcast replied to agentofenton's topic in The Archives
April 6th and 7th to Mid South please. -
-There will be no house show loop on Sunday or Monday for Mid South as the talent was given three days off. The reason is due to Bill Watts, Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and Joel Watts out on the road. As of right now, Mid South is shown throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Arkansas. They are syndicated throughout the major towns in those areas but these four went out on the road to get more markets. Bill Watts went to Memphis to try and cash in on the CWA moving to Atlanta. Word is that those talks went well and Mid South may be shown on Memphis television, all be it, very late at night. Vince McMahon hit the major New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore markets. Word has it that these talks went great and McMahon really sold the talent from Mid South. Expect Mid South to possibly be shown in these markets as soon as June 1st. Jim Ross and Joel Watts were on tag team work as they went to El Paso, Phoenix, and Los Angeles to meet with some of those major television sponsors. These talks went well as Mid South should be popping up in West Texas along with New Mexico and Arizona. The Los Angeles talks didn't go well as they were expecting to meet with Vince McMahon. Bill Watts wasn't happy to hear this and chastised Ross and Joel for not selling the product. -Speaking of Vince McMahon, it was announced to the talent this past week that Vince McMahon is now the head of "talent" in Mid South. He has gained Bill Watt's trust enough to handle all the contracts and dates of bringing in talent. The wrestlers were told to go to Vince if they had concerns. Bill Watts is now working as the head booker with the returning Grizzly Smith. Smith is back on the road after some health issues. He and Watts say they have a clear plan for Mid South going into the Summer and some big plans on how to expand the roster and the visibility of the product. -One of McMahon's first attempts was to try and get some more familiar names. He has reached out to Gorilla Monsoon to come in and help him but still no word on his location. He was last seen around Detroit, but hasn't been seen since. McMahon also sent out feelers for Bobby Heenan. He feels Heenan can be more of a presence that Jimmy Hart and meshes better with the talent. Hart wasn't happy to hear about the possibility of a trade, instead of getting sour he and Vince sat in a room for around 2 hours and both walked out appearing to be happy. Some have said that Hart is going to look for ways to be better on television and cut better promos. - Adrian Street and Matt Borne have effectively left Mid South Wrestling. No word on Borne's location as he was mysteriously brought in and then left without ever getting on regular television. -Scott Hall was brought in to Mid South but hasn't been on the road yet. He is expected to start soon though. Bill Watts things he looks too much like Magnum TA while Vince McMahon is higher on him than Magnum. Watts told him to cut his hair and his mustache but Vince may have enough influence to stop that from happening. - Bill Watts is very happy with the recent run of the Guerreros against the Fantastics. He is really pushing Bobby and Tommy as one of the top tag teams in the world. He has even talked about holding a big two day tag team tournament in Houston. He has spoken to Paul Boesch and has a possible television special on the 31st of March... this could happen. - Mid South is looking to make next week's Leap Year MSW a special one as they have already advertised Ted Dibiase to be in the building. This marks the champions return since the beginning of the month.

Mid South Wrestling on Tour Feb. 1984
LowBlowPodcast replied to LowBlowPodcast's topic in Promotions
Power Pro Wrestling Sunday February 19th {Power Pro Wrestling opens showcasing the top talent in Mid South as we cut to the studio and see Vince McMahon standing by.} Vince: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Power Pro Wrestling! I am Vince McMahon and fans we have got a great night of action coming your way. We are coming off the heels of a great night of Mid South Wrestling action in which Grizzly Smith announced that on March the 16th, the television championship must be defended by Mr. Wrestling II if he is medically cleared. Rick Rude and King Kong Bundy have both come out to make claim that they want their hands on the gold. The man who put Wrestling II on the shelf is Scott Casey and he has said that he is the rightful champion… he is in action tonight, let’s go to the ring! Scott Casey defeated Omar Atlas -Scott Casey looks good here tonight. He has got some momentum going his way but it keeping it quiet as he moves forward. We see him work over Atlas’ neck while Ross and McMahon put him over as a big challenger for Wrestling II and the title and they hope to have things cleared up in the coming weeks. Casey then hits the BRAINBUSTER for the 1…2….3!! Scott Casey looks good and he is making claim for some gold… we will see how it plays out. *COMMERCIAL* Jose Lothario defeated Jose Louis Rivera -A nice showcase for Jose Lothario. We hear Ross and McMahon put over Jose’s big showdowns with the Guerreros. It is a simple enough contest with Jose Lothario nailing a cruicifix and the 1…2…3!! Jose with the victory and you know he isn’t far away from getting his hands on the Guerreros one more time! -McMahon returns and really puts over the action thus far. He talks about the TV title situation and wonders just who will get their hands on the gold. He then turns his attention to a man who knows quite well. He talks about a newcomer to the Mid South area… Ivan Putski! He puts over the Polish Power and says that he is a former champion who is looking to make waves in Mid South and he is going to start in a big way. He talks about his previous ties with Jose Lothario and Wahoo McDaniel. He talks about him being one of the strongest men in wrestling and how he’s going to showcase it right here tonight! Ivan Putski defeated Dominic DeNucci -Polish Power is alive and well in Mid South and Putski looks good. He is as big as ever and brings some serious pain to DeNucci. We see him lock in the Bear Hug and that is going to be it for Dominic. Putski with the big victory as Ross and Monsoon put him over in a big way! *COMMERCIAL* The Fabulous Freebirds defeated Brady Boone, Tracy Smothers, & Johnny Rodz -The Freebirds are rocking and rolling here tonight. The crowd is solidly behind them as we get to see Hayes, Gordy, and Roberts come in and do their thing. It is Roberts with the work, Gordy with the power, and Hayes with the charisma one more time. Hayes ends up finishing off Smothers with a DDT and that’s all she wrote. Ross and McMahon put these guys over and talk about the big one on one match with Hayes and Blanchard next week on MSW! -McMahon is back in the studio and he continues to put over the Freebirds. He talks about Hayes vs Blanchard this week on MSW. He then says that Gordy may try to take claim for the Mid South Television Championship. He then turns his attention to Gino Hernandez and Tully Blanchard and talks about the streak they have been on. McMahon says that Hernandez and Blanchard are going to be in the arena for MSW this week and he’s told they have something to say to Grizzly Smith. We have them in action tonight… Gino Hernandez & Tully Blanchard defeated Jim Brunzell & Brian Blair -A fun contest tonight with Brunzell and Blair giving Gino and Tully just about everything they could handle. This one even gets some time as a great little showcase before Gino and Tully turn the tide and put things back into perspective. We see them double up on Blair and finishing things off with a nasty spike piledriver for the 1…2….3! They go for Brunzell who comes back with some rights and lefts before going down to his own Spike Piledriver! Gino and Tully get some big time heat with the crowd and Ross and McMahon put them over in a big way in preparation for this week’s MSW. *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with McMahon putting over all the action from tonight in a big way. He then sets the stage for a big night of action coming this week on MSW. He puts over the issues with the Russians and Jim Duggan and Steve Williams. He wonders who will join Duggan and Williams in this battle. He then turns his attention to the Fantastics and the Guerreros. He talks about the World Tag Team Titles being on the line this week on MSW and the Fantastics could walk away with the gold. McMahon puts them over as we head to our main event here tonight… The Fantastics vs Krusher Kruschev & Alexis Smirnoff w/ Chris Markoff -A great main event to cap off a night of fun action. We see the Russians take control of the contest early with the numbers game. Fulton and Rogers are really doing well as a tag team and have shown they have what it take to be champions. Kruschev and Markoff are former champions and with Smirnoff on their side, it could spell disaster for the Fantastics. We see Fulton and Rogers pick up the pace but Markoff gets involved to cause the DQ! It turns into a 3 on 2 beatdown before we see Duggan and Williams run out and run off the Russians! The crowd is going wild for the Americans as McMahon and Ross put this over in a big way and talk about the big MSW this week from the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club! -

I think I have everything up to date... please check and post here if there is anything that needs to change. I think we can go ahead with the flex on April 1st... you can choose a 3 person jobber pack, a manager, or a regular wrestler. We can continue on with that same deal as we have the other +1s throughout the year.
-
Mid South adds Lord Humungous and drops E Bracero
-
I agree. When we get into January we can take another look with the fresh faces of 1985 in which I encourage everyone to try and add on to the list. I think we jumped the gun with some of the names for 84... so that list may be small but high in long term talent.
-
So the +1 can be used as a wrestler, manager, or jobber pack?
-
I think the manager +1 is fine... a cap of 4 managers is doable in my book. the WWF in the late 80s had about 5-6 so I think we cap at 4 and go from there.
-
Just doing some house keeping stuff. "The roster cap of 34 36 workers and 3 managers stays into affect. For those individuals that would like to expand, could we look at upping the worker cap by 1 every four months? The first bump wouldn’t happen until April 1st, then August 1st, then December 1st, to have 1984 end with us having a total roster cap of 37 workers and 3 managers?" Now even since this, we changed things to have a 36 person roster with a 3 manager amendment additionally, we have the two jobber packs. If we continue on this same track, we will be up to 37 on April 1st, 38 on August 1st, and then 39 on December 1st with January 1st bumping one more time to 40 for the 1985 fresh face draft. Are we okay with those changes and movements? I also wanted to see if as companies grew, there would be anyone interested in have the possibility of one of those new +1s being an additional 3rd jobber pack for those interested? I didn't really notice how quickly I cycled through jobbers and just wanted to put it out there. The roster would then be 34 workers, 3 jobber packs, and 3 managers.

I am going to use Grizzly Smith as an authority figure... he was with Mid South around this time.
