The Picaso of the Project. Great poster to go along with the top notch talent and writing. Detroit is a serious hot bed right now with some of these top stars from around the country. The records continue to keep me hooked to see if it is going to be 50/50 for some guys or if some of the stars will jump out ahead and have cushion to take a loss here and there.

Perhaps some of the best promos in the project. We've all said it, but the Von Erichs and Dusty have taken over Florida and they are going to go to war with everyone in their path. I like to see the Briscoes in that almost secondary role and then you have the Sullivan factor. I don't see anyway that Dusty and Sullivan could be on the same card if they weren't at war with one another down here. Curt Hennig is the only missing piece of the puzzle and I'd like to see where he fits in the scheme of everything.

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. Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross alongside Cowboy Bill Watts. Bill… there is no doubt that tonight, history is going to be made with the lineup we’ve got. Tonight we will see Hacksaw Duggan taking on Krusher Kruschev, Bobby Fulton taking on Dick Murdoch, and Ric Flair and Andre the Giant are here! Bill Watts: This is going to be one of those nights that no one will ever forget! Ross: Fans tonight we will share another big match signed for that Superdome card on February the 4th… wait just a moment… it is Tully Blanchard… what are you doing out here? Tully Blanchard: Let me make it perfectly clear to you and the rest of the world…. Magnum TA. You snot nosed punk! You don’t know what it means to be a champion. You took my chance at the NWA title away last week… and lemme tell you something son… you will regret what you’ve done! I am putting it on the line right now… at the Superdome… I want to see you in that ring… Ross: Wait a minute… wait a minute… Magnum TA: You ain’t gotta wait too long there Blanchard. If you want a fight, I will bring it right here… RIGHT NOW! Tully Blanchard: Look at me… dressed head to toe to the 10s jack. You couldn’t afford this outfit if you saved your money for a year boy! Magnum TA: It takes more than a nice suit to step in that ring Blanchard… anytime… anywhere! Tully Blanchard: How about this? At the Superdome… I am going to bring me a partner… I doubt there’d be anyone dumb enough to step into that ring with you… Wrestling II already has a match and I know you don’t have too many friends outside of that… Magnum TA: Funny you say that… I’ve got a buddy who just joined me tonight… he said he’d loved to step into that ring… -BRUISER BRODY WALKS OUT AND THE CROWD POPS! He and Magnum shake hands and then look at Tully who retreats! Blanchard better have something special up his sleeve… who is going to be his partner?!?! Ross and Watts put it over in a big way as we cut to the ring for King Kong Bundy in action! ThunderBolt Patterson vs King Kong Bundy w/ Jimmy Hart -An interesting opening matchup here. We see Patterson come out but then Bundy walks out with Jimmy Hart and he’s joined by Muraco, Masked Superstar, and Paul Jones. Ross and Watts talk about this not being a good thing. SD Jones comes out and joins his partner. Ross and Watts talk about a recent match with Bundy and Wahoo in Houston in which Rick Rude got involved and they wonder if he will tonight. In the match, we see Superstar and Muraco get involved slightly but it is Bundy with a huge Avalanche and then the 1…2….3 in around 7 minutes. He screams at the referee for the 4….5… but then we see SD Jones run into the ring and he attacks Bundy. We have a brawl here as Superstar and Muraco join the fight as all hell breaks loose. It looks to be a beat-down until Wahoo runs out with a strap. He fights off the group as Bundy is being held back! Wahoo and Bundy are heading for a showdown at the Superdome… but what about the others? *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting over the big opening segments we saw. They talk about a match that is being signed as we speak between S.D. Jones & ThunderBolt Patterson taking on Masked Superstar & Don Muraco! They talk about that match being added along with Tully Blanchard and his mystery partner taking on Bruiser Brody & Magnum TA! They said there will be a complete card revealed later on this evening. They put over the recent issues with Rick Rude and talk about his motives. We then cut to the ring for the next big contest! El Bracero & Jose Lothario vs Rick Rude & Superstar Graham -A nice little contest. These guys go about 8-minutes but the underlying factor is that Rude and Graham are not on the same page. We see the classic spot in which Superstar goes for the tag and Rude drops down gives him some sign language! Superstar can’t believe it as he gets up and turns around for Jose Lothario is there for a big superkick and the 1….2…3! Bracero and Lothario look good here. Rude then steps in the ring and he starts to jaw jack with Graham but then we see the whole story unfold as Jimmy Hart comes out with Bundy and they attack Graham! Rude then goes to work on him. Rude picks him up and then hits the Rude Awakening we all know (not the DDT)! Rude has his arm raised with Jimmy Hart… this is a union that has got trouble written all over it! Watts and Ross can’t believe it! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting over Rude’s turn on Graham and his joining with Bundy and Jimmy Hart! They turn their attention to the tag team titles and the big showdown in the Superdome between Adonis/Murdoch and the Fantastics. They talk about a preview of the action right here tonight as we cut to the ring… Bobby Fulton vs Dick Murdoch -A fun match up with these two men working the crowd and giving the fans a taste of what they will bring to the Superdome. Ross and Watts really put over Murdoch’s ability to wrestle as a singles guy but Fulton may struggle and it appears to be that way. Murdoch controls the contest from the get go, but Fulton is able to get some offense and get the crowd going, but Murdoch is so damn good and he slows the pace down to where he wants it. We see Fulton get one more burst before Adonis comes down but that brings out Tommy Rogers. They is some jaw jacking outside the ring, but it is Murdoch who goes for the Brainbuster but Fulton with a knee to the head and he comes down with a roll up but Murdoch pushes through for the 1…2…3 at the 11 minute mark! The crowd isn’t happy as Murdoch and Adonis have struck. Will they strike again when the titles are on the line? -Watts and Ross put over the contest and then we see the JYD come down with Andre the Giant. The crowd erupts as Andre and the JYD put over the Superdome. They talk about the big contest between JYD and Dibiase and then the big one with Andre and the Executioner. We then see Ted Dibiase walk out with the Executioner. The crowd isn’t happy to see them as they approach JYD and Andre. They jaw jack and gripe for a moment before Andre tells them to meet him in the ring next week! The crowd pops as Dibiase can’t believe it… he says he will think about it… Ross and Watts put over Ric Flair being in the building when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross going over the show so far. They talk about next week and the contest with Andre and JYD possibly taking on the Executioner and Ted Dibiase if they accept. They tell the fans to tune in to Power Pro Wrestling this Sunday for an official announcement. They talk about the NWA World Title contest with Duggan taking on Ric Flair and how important it would be for Duggan to bring the NWA title to Mid South. They talk about him versus Krusher Kruschev tonight and how he says Duggan cheated. Let’s see what happens here tonight! MAIN EVENT Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Krusher Kruschev w/ Boris Zhukov -A hard hitting main event here with two huge bruisers. Boris is outside the ring and he is causing a shit storm. Duggan gets the USA chants going whenever he can but Krusher is all over him. He tosses him outside the ring and distracts the referee for Boris to get in his shots. The crowd is going wild right now but Duggan is trying to fight back the best he can. We get a commercial break right in the middle but when we return Duggan looks to be winding down but we see him build up in a big way. He is nailing Krusher with some huge rights and lefts. He goes to the ropes but Boris grabs his foot and Duggan pulls him up… Krusher runs for a clothesline and he nails Boris. Duggan leaps for a huge flying clothesline and the 1…..2….3!! Duggan with the win but here comes Boris! He is hammering down! Krusher gets up and even Duggan doesn’t have it in him at this point to fight off both men. They tie him up in the ropes and wait just a moment… -IT IS RIC FLAIR! THE NWA CHAMPION IS HERE! The Russians have tied Duggan in the rope and now it is Flair who is hammering away at Duggan and then he is wiping the title in Duggan’s face and just SCREAMING AT HIM! Ross and Watts are going nuts on commentary and then someone jumps out of the crowd! IT IS DOCTOR DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS! He jumps in the ring and backs off Flair and the Russians. Flair is holding the title up and Williams unties Duggan. Ross and Watts are putting this over in a big way. Duggan is helped up by Williams as Flair and the Russians are gloating… more on this next week… check out Power Pro this Sunday with action from Bruiser Brody and Magnum TA, Andre the Giant, Bundy and the Executioner.

I have updated the database and free agency pages. Please let me know if I need to fix anything. I do think with the recent happenings, perhaps we need a "waiver" page in order to bring people into our database who are not currently involved in the project. Thoughts?

- Big signings out of Mid South this week. Jim Ross was said to be in charge of talent relations with Bill Watts. Watts is said to do the major signings but Ross was part of the negotiations. His role has diminished over the last couple of weeks stemming from the Power Pro incident and Vince McMahon is said to be part of negotiations. Over the past week, Matt Borne, Adrian Street, and Miss Linda were all signed with Mid South through negotiations with Vince McMahon and Watts overseeing the agreements. Gino Hernandez has agreed to do a couple of dates for Watts but no major deal has been signed yet. - Mid South went on tour again this weekend, Jim Ross and Joel Watts were promoting both shows in Mississippi. They were blessed to get Matt Borne, Adrian Street, and Gino Hernandez (for one show) added to the bunch. They were said to have had good crowds and are "doing exactly what Bill Watts is looking for" when putting these shows together. - Still no word on the outcome of the Dibiase vs JYD contest on February 4th. The stipulation says that the loser must leave and only the winner can bring that person back. Both men could fill either role. - Watts is said to really be pulling out all the stops for the February 4th Superdome show. Bruiser Brody and Andre the Giant are said to be action. Ric Flair has been signed to defend the NWA World Title against Hacksaw Duggan. Expect more surprises as Watts is said be making a move towards closed circuit shows like Starrcade and he has been shopping some national television deals as his contract with Fox and MSW will be expiring in the next two months. - Could Mid South be coming to MSG? Watts and McMahon took a meeting with the directors of Madison Square Garden. No word on if these were just meetings or if Mid South could try to run in a market that is dying for wrestling right now.

1/23/1984 - Mid South Wrestling Live - Tupelo, Mississippi - Civic Center Tom Zenk defeated Israel Matia - Zenk is pretty green but a very good looking youngster. Tracey Smothers defeated Dominic DeNucci - Smothers is a pretty slimy heel right off the bat. He cut a promo right before the match and said Zenk was a goody too shoe pretty boy who couldn't fight to save his life. Zenk shrugged it off but the crowd had some heat. Steve Williams defeated Raul Castro - Dr. Death really looks good here. He has shrugged off any ring rust. Adrian Street w/ Miss Linda defeated Brady Boone - The fans were pretty turned off by Street's gimmick and he garnered some very good heat. The Maniac Matt Borne defeated Johnny Rodz - Borne is back in Mid South and he has got some goofy hair and was very "crazy" during the contest. Krusher Kruschev, Boris Zhukov, & The Russian Nightmare defeated SD Jones, ThunderBolt Patterson, & El Bracero - The Russian Nightmare looks humungous but he's very green. He was only in the contest for 2-3 minutes but did get the pinfall on Bracero with a clothesline that looked to take his head off! Jose Lothario defeated Rick Rude when Superstar Graham accidentally hit Rude when aiming for Lothario 1/24/1984 - Mid South Wrestling Live - Meridian, Mississippi - Civic Center Tom Zenk defeated Tracey Smothers via DQ when Smothers hit Zenk with a steel chair Exotic Adrian Strett w/ Miss Linda defeated Dominic DeNucci Dr. Death Steve Williams defeated Brady Boone The Maniac Matt Borne defeated Omar Atlas Krusher Kruschev, Boris Zhukov, & The Russian Nightmare defeated Los Conquistadors & S.D. Jones Jose Lothario & El Bracero defeated Rick Rude & Superstar Graham Gino Hernandez defeated ThunderBolt Patterson

I like the first output for the new MACW. Good continuation and write ups. I think you've got a good formula and this is a lot of detail for just a house show. You may be able to streamline some of it and add that effort into television but we'll see how it all plays out.

When Rain gets on he can make the call on what he wants to do with him. I am sure when Goc quit and tried to erase all the roster data, some little pieces got lost, I think we've got 98% of it fixed from his issues though, so if Sword is the only loss, we're doing alright.

He's one we could look to add. Since I wasn't around for the initial draft, what was the decision on Bruno??

Let me know if you have questions sony.

Didn't you just trade him to macw?

Brady Boone, Dominic Denucci, Johnny Rodz, and Omar Atlas all sign for the Mid South as jobbers

Yep, let's go with it... If you want to do this... You are categorizing 6 people as jobbers on your roster.... they will be in the 35 and 36 spots on your roster. 3 people per spot.

Power Pro Wrestling Sunday January 22nd Vince McMahon: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Power Pro Wrestling. I am Vince McMahon and what a night we have planned for you this evening. We will see highlights from the big number one contender battle royal from Mid South Wrestling this past week. Plus we will see the Mid South Tag Team Champions in action. We will have words from the Junkyard Dog and Ted Dibiase, plus the announcement of two big matches to the card for the Superdome Extravaganza on February the 4th! Right now we have action from the double tough Russian… Boris Zhukov! Boris Zhukov defeated Victor Rivera -Vince and Ross put over Boris as a tough guy. It appears as though he is regaining some favor. Tonight he looks tough against Victor Rivera. Boris with some big offense and then a nasty bearhug into a slam for the 1…2….3! Boris works the crowd as Ross and McMahon put over how he will be in Krusher Kruschev’s corner this week on MSW when he takes on Hacksaw Duggan! *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with Vince putting over the big battle royal from MSW this week. He then turns his attention to a new tag team on the block. He puts over Rex and Spot… the Moondogs. They are two of the most unpredictable wrestlers in the world. He talks about the two of them being former tag team champions. He cuts to a video of them and then we cut to the ring…. The Moondogs defeated Dennis Stamp & Steve Lombardi -Rex and Spot aren’t in the best shape in the world, but neither are those bones they come to the ring with. They are mean and ruthless but they work the fans and there appear to be getting a little love. Vince and Ross put them over in a big way and we see an atomic drop by Rex as Spot runs with a big headbutt for the 1….2…3!! The Moondogs work the crowd and they may be on the something here…. *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with Vince McMahon running down the card for the Superdome Extravaganza on February the 4th… NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP LOSER LEAVES TOWN FOR ONE YEAR The Junkyard Dog vs Ted Dibiase © MID SOUTH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. Wrestling II © vs Scott Casey MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Fantastics © vs Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis Andre the Giant vs The Executioner Wahoo McDaniel vs King Kong Bundy -Vince puts over the addition of the two matches of Andre vs the Executioner and Wahoo vs Bundy. He talks about the big feuds and says that Andre is filling in on a threat that Dibiase says no one can beat the Executioner one on one. He says that Andre will be in the arena this week on Mid South Wrestling and is said to have some words for Dibiase and the Executioner. Vince then puts over the Fantastics and their big contest with Murdoch and Adonis in the Superdome as we see them in action… The Fantastics defeated The Shadows -A nice showcase for The Fantastics as they go move for move with the Shadows. It is a fun little contest with Fulton and Rogers showing some tag team excellence as Ross and McMahon say they will be tough to beat when push comes to shove. The Shadows do alright but the Fantastics are able to finish it off with a Rocket Launcher for the 1…2…3!! Fulton and Rogers show the titles to the fans. They have got a showdown in the Superdome with Adonis and Murdoch… will they be able to keep the gold? *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro is back and Vince is putting over the battle royal we are about to see. He they pumps up this week’s MSW and talks about a big one on one contest with Hacksaw Duggan taking on Krusher Kruschev, Bobby Fulton taking on Dick Murdoch. We’ll see a rematch of El Bracero and Jose Lothario taking on Rick Rude and Superstar Graham. McMahon then puts over how Ted Dibiase and the Junkyard Dog will be in the house along with Andre the Giant and the NWA World Heavyweight Champion… Ric Flair. It will be an episode of MSW you can’t afford to miss. He pumps the Battle Royal one more time as we see the clipped version of the match… MAIN EVENT WINNER GOES ON TO FACE FLAIR FOR THE NWA TITLE Hacksaw Duggan, Bruiser Brody, Krusher Kruschev, King Kong Bundy, Wahoo McDaniel, Masked Superstar, Tully Blanchard, Magnum TA, Executioner, Don Muraco -This one has been built up so much. The top ten guys in Mid South have the chance of a lifetime here tonight. Ross and Watts put this over for the fans and we see some great action. Early on, it is the Executioner and Brody just throwing some huge bombs with one another. Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard have really got some hatred for one another. Wahoo and Bundy finally lock up and it brings the crowd to their feet. Kruschev is almost like a mercenary, going around, helping and hitting when he needs. Hacksaw Duggan is trying to fight off Superstar and Muraco. We then see Wahoo and Bundy outside the ring fighting around a crowd of officials. On the other side of the ring… Magnum TA throws Tully Blanchard out but the referees are locked up with Wahoo and Bundy. Blanchard sneaks back in the ring and comes from behind Magnum and tosses him over the top by the officials and gloats. Brody comes from behind him and tosses him out! On the other side of the ring, Duggan with a huge double clothesline and out go Superstar and Muraco! It is dwindling down here with only four men remaining. Duggan and Brody taking on Kruschev and Executioner! We get a nice brawl with these four but Tully Blanchard isn’t done… Brody is close to the ropes and Blanchard pulls them down as the Executioner nails him with a huge boot and Brody goes over the top to the floor! It is down to three and Executioner and Krusher are doubling up on Duggan who ducks and comes with a big shoulder block on Krusher and he goes to the corner. Executioner is close and Duggan comes with a huge clothesline and Executioner is out. Here comes Krusher but Duggan ducks and tosses him over his back, over the ropes, and to the floor! DUGGAN HAS WON IT! DUGGAN HAS WON IT! The crowd erupts as JYD comes out to celebrate with him! Vince puts this over and says that Flair will be in the arena this week and Duggan will officially challenge him for the World Title this week on MSW!

All set.

I have updated Free Agency... I have updated the roster database... Patrick has MACW. He will be putting together an updated World champion thread for requests.

After speaking with Patrick, it appears as though he will officially take over MACW effective today. He is working on his roster and we will post that on here and the deals that have gone through. I know he will be dropping some guys and picking some up from free agency in the switch. Once he gets that finalized, we can open up the Roster spots for the jobber packs. All you will need to do is simply say the four people your picking up... should be that simple.

Let's wait to finalize the Macw thing. Give it a day

Some good/bad news... The good... I want to congratulate Gene on promoting an awesome show in his home state of Alabama and his recent real life promotion at work. Seems like things in the real world are going great for him. The bad... Gene may not be able to stay on with MACW. With the real life running wild in good ways, the fantasy world may take a hit or go away for the time being. The good (again)... I have spoken to Patrick about taking over MACW. He would be in control of Ric Flair and the NWA title to start things out. Along with making some possible changes to the MACW roster... dropping some guys and picking up some free agents to get him going. (Which I am not opposed too... nothing major but just some cosmetic changes to suit his style). We will see how this develops over the next couple of days and make a ruling as soon as possible.

MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Fantastics © vs Murdoch & Adonis went to a 30-minute time limit draw MID SOUTH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Tully Blanchard defeated Mr. Wrestling II © via DQ when Scott Casey got involved MID SOUTH NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP Ted Dibiase © defeated Hacksaw Duggan

I enjoyed this card and if you had to split up the tag team match, you picked a good way to do it. I have to wonder if you swap Bigelow and Orndorff... given everything involved I think you could get similar outcomes with both of them in these positions. Good stuff!
