To devil your devil, why would a jobber be in such demand? If I have someone in my pack, if some one wants him, just ask. Easiest way to solve it.

It would need to be arranged with the companies for something like that. I mean, if I have a guy as a jobber or on my list he's under contract to me. If someone wants him, then they contact me to get him type deal.

I know my list would be interchangeable month to month... so if this passes... I am going to go ahead and pick up 4 more jobbers to go with Israel and Castro for my cycles. I don't think it needs to be complex enough to draft.

I think so. So if I were to go on the list and pick up one set of 3 (Ben Alexander, Bill Armstrong, & Brady Boone) My other set of 3 would be (Israel Matia, Raul Castro, and Frank Williams) Those two sets would essentially take Israel Matia and Raul Castro's "spots" on my 36 and count towards just jobbers.

Dennis Stamp finished up his television tapings with Mid South last night and has been released. Tom Zenk has been picked up by Mid South.

Essentially yes... You just have some cases where a guy may be a job guy but you always want him around (Dennis Stamp) so he takes up a roster spot if you want.

Let's revisit this... so my proposal would be for our 35th and 36th spots to be "jobber pack" spots in which we would get three jobbers a piece for each of those sections. These Jobbers would be hired to come in for tv or live shows just for their purpose... to job. This way they don't take up too much space on the roster and you can designate two spots for 6 full time jobbers and if you have some guys who may be on the cusp of coming up, they can be in one of the other 1-34 spots. Long story short... Keep the cap at 36 for roster spots. Use the 35th and 36th spots for 3 man jobber packs as just talent who will be losing week in and week out. We can keep this going as we continue to do our +1 roster spots every couple of months.

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. Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross alongside Cowboy Bill Watts. Bill… tonight is perhaps one of the most important nights in Mid South. Tonight we will see a huge ten-man battle royal with the winner getting the chance of a lifetime against Ric Flair in the Superdome on February the 4th! Bill Watts: That’s right Jim. Tonight, you’ve got 10 double tough men who are going to leave it all in the ring. One man is going to be left standing. Ross: We know who the ten men are. We will see them in our main event tonight and without a doubt Bill… it is anyone’s ball game. Watts: I have got to agree with you there. These guys all have a chance and anyone could walk away with that shot and there’s a couple of these guys who could walk out with the chance to get that title from Ric Flair. Ross: Any man on any night has a chance to make something like that happen. We will see who walks away with the chance. Right now, we have action in the ring, the North American champion Ted Dibiase is in action! Rick McGraw vs Ted Dibiase -A nice little contest for Dibiase. He handles McGraw with little to no issue here. We see him work the neck and the knee. He nails the piledriver and then locks in the figure four and McGraw isn’t moving as PeeWee Anderson stops the contest! Dibiase works the crowd and says that the JYD is going to pay… the hard way! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Ross and Watts hyping the big battle royal coming up. All of a sudden, Scotty Casey walks out and he is hooting and hollering up a storm. He walks over and he’s screaming at Watts and Ross. He is talking about how his hair isn’t growing back, how he is blaming Wrestling II, and he is saying that he deserves a chance at the Television Championship. Wrestling II walks out to an eruption from the crowd. Wrestling II says he has no problem defending the title against Casey and says he will do it on the biggest stage in the Superdome and he will do more than just shave his head when this is all said and done… whatever that means…. Ross and Watts put it over and then cut to the ring for another contest… El Bracero & Jose Lothario vs Rick Rude & Superstar Graham -An interesting contest here. Bracero and Jose are really blending well as a team. We see Rude and Graham doing alright, but they are not on the same page in the middle of the contest and it leads to a huge miss-communication. Rude is holding Jose who breaks free before Superstar nails him with a big right hand, sending him out of the ring to the floor. Here comes El Bracero with a top rope cross body on Graham for the 1…2….3!! Bracero and Jose work the crowd. Rude however goes up to Graham and he is ripping into him something awful. He walks away as Graham is trying to figure out what’s going on. Ross and Watts are confused and wonder what this means… *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns as Fulton and Rogers, the Mid South tag team champions are here. They work the crowd a little before talking about their next big match against Adonis and Murdoch in the Superdome. All four men put over just how dangerous Murdoch and Adonis are. They talk about the recent 30-minute time limit draw that they had. They asked Watts to give them 60-minutes in the Superdome and that may just not be long enough with these four men. They put over the battle royal and the big once in a lifetime chance to face Ric Flair for the title as we cut to the ring for our next matchup! ThunderBolt Patterson & S.D. Jones vs Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch - A pretty good contest with these four tonight. SD and Patterson compliment one another quite well and it works in their favor against one of the best tag teams in the world right now with Murdoch and Adonis, who are just a step ahead. Fulton and Rogers put this over in a big way and then we see Murdoch grab something out of his tights and it is a very tight shot to the through on SD Jones… Adonis grabs him for a DDT and the 1…2….3! Murdoch and Adonis have got the shot against the Fantastics… it is set in stone for the Superdome… now we get to find out who faces Flair? *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting over the battle royal in the biggest way. They talk about the matches already signed… JYD vs Dibiase, Wrestling II vs Scott Casey, and The Fantastics vs Adonis & Murdoch. They talk about more matches being announced next week and then they talk about favorites for the battle royal. Ross says that Brody or Wahoo has the best chance… perhaps the Executioner. Watts wonders how Magnum TA will do and says that Blanchard could be the man to beat. They cut to the ring and it is time for this huge 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. *COMMERCIAL* -The match returns and we 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! Bill Watts joins them in the ring! -Watts puts over the big match and Duggan says he is going to bring that NWA title right here to Mid South. He says he is going to do whatever it takes to bring it to Flair. We then see Krusher and Boris come out. Krusher is saying Duggan cheated. Duggan says if he wants a fight he can come and get it! JYD puts over Duggan and says he is going to take that title from Flair and JYD is going to take it from that old dirty dog Ted Dibiase and send him packing for a year! Watts puts it over and says he is going to sign Duggan vs Krusher for next week right here on Mid South!

- As fans in Amarillo and Lubbock Texas saw this weekend, Mid South Wrestling took its show on the road Sunday and Monday. The wrestlers have Tuesdays off to get back to television on Wednesday. Bill Watts sent Jim Ross and Joel Watts to oversee the production due to the recent issues that Watts had with Ross and his production of Power Pro. Speaking on Power Pro, Vince McMahon is said to have the full lead on the show at this point with Bill Watts underneath him, but having the final say. Bill Watts then runs MSW weekly with Vince, Jim Ross, and Joe Watts all serving as minor producers for the program. - Speaking of Power Pro, Watts was very happy with the second incarnation of the program. He is excited to see what Vince can do and the money that will be saved by having some matches before MSW weekly and then after as dark matches for the fans and taping them for Power Pro. -Bill Watts held meetings with television companies out of New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Phoenix this past week. Vince McMahon was said to be instrumental in these meetings to try and get Mid South seen throughout the country. Watts isn't afraid to try anything once, but he could be grasping at straws to try and push this group of talent on that stage. - Gino Hernandez is said to be in the final stages of signing with Mid South Wrestling at this point. He is asking for a lighter schedule and more pay... some say he's worth it while others are wondering if his contract could be picked up by someone else in the coming weeks. Bill Watts is said to be taking calls on Hernandez as of this writing. - As seen this past week, Bill Watts has booked Ric Flair to defend the NWA World Championship in the Superdome on February 4th. There is going to be a big battle royal this week on MSW to see who will face Flair. Bruiser Brody is said to be the favorite.

Sounds good Patrick. Love having these as part of the product. Some great stuff. I love the second night with a babyface win then heel heavy until the end when the known babyface gets the huge victory. Adds a whole new level to Mid South.

I am still waiting to see video footage of JYD vs Michael Hayes from the Superdome in 1980, but I have had zero luck. I did see the angle leading to it when JYD was blinded but nothing after.

He is helping me with my developmental house show loop to kind of get his feet wet. His name's Patrick and he's awesome.

Power Pro Wrestling Sunday January 15th Vince McMahon: Welcome everyone to Power Pro Wrestling. I am Vince McMahon and we have got a great hour of Power Pro Wrestling for you fans. First off, the biggest news in the Mid South Territory right now is that Ric Flair will be defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on the 4th of February in the Superdome. We will have a 10-man battle royal with the top competitors in Mid South to determine who will have that chance. On our broadcast, we will hear from those competitors, let us first go to action with one of the most cruel tag teams in wrestling right now… Don Muraco and the Masked Superstar! Masked Superstar & Don Muraco w/ Paul Jones defeated Los Conquistadors -A nice showcase for these two. Ross and McMahon really put these guys over as contenders for the tag team titles. They talk about waiting in line but put over how they will be in the big battle royal this week on MSW. We see the Superstar hoist on Conquistador #1 and then drop him with a Cobra Clutch Slam for the 1….2…3!! Paul Jones has got his men ready! *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with Vince McMahon putting over the big battle royal on MSW this week. He talks about some of the competitors and then we hear from them… Krusher Kruschev – I knew it wouldn’t be long before I got my chance at the gold! Ric Flair – let me tell you something right now… you may hold that title and it may represent the world, but when I get my hands on it, I am taking it back to the Kremlin! Don Muraco – A lot of people have been talking about titles. No one forgets that I was the television champion here in Mid South. It was by a crook that the title was stolen from me and there is no way that any man can put me down for the 1…2…3! Ric Flair, I am coming for that title and I am going to put you down and put that belt right here where it belongs! Magnum TA – I am being given the chance of a lifetime this week on Mid South Wrestling. The chance to wrestle Ric Flair for the World’s Heavyweight Championship. I may be young but I know what it means to be a champion. I have the heart of a lion and I am going to do whatever it takes to get that title. Everyone better watch out… I am coming for the gold! Tully Blanchard – I know what being a champion is all about. I have held titles all over the country and Ric Flair… you and I have been down the road before my friend. You and I have traveled, you and I have been partners, and just once before, you and I were opponents. Ric Flair, I am looking to get my hands on the NWA World Title. I am looking to hold that title and defend it. I am looking forward to the notoriety and the money that comes with holding that title. In order to get it, I am going through you first! -Vince McMahon puts over the competitors and says that the Executioner declined to speak and said his actions would speak louder than his words in Oklahoma City. McMahon then put over the television championship and says that Scott Casey has aligned himself to be a contender but it may take more to be the number one contender for Mr. Wrestling II’s title. Scott Casey defeated Dennis Stamp -A good showcase for Casey who is coming into his own very quickly here in Mid South. He has got the look and his hair is starting to grow back. He handles himself well in the ring and finishes off Stamp with the Shoulder Breaker for the 1…2…3! He says into the camera that he was Wrestling II and he wants the title! *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with McMahon putting over the big battle royal again as he leads in more promos from the competitors… Jimmy Hart – HAHA! I love it baby. It is a 10-man battle royal. The biggest and baddest man in wrestling, King Kong Bundy is going to be right in the middle. He is going to throw people out left and right. When it is all said and done, Ric Flair, you better hold on to that title as tight as you can because Bundy is coming to take it and put you down for the 5 count baby! Wahoo McDaniel – A lot of people have been talking about this world championship opportunity. I know Ric Flair, I have wrestled him hundreds of times. Ric Flair is a great champion, but the chance to hold that title is one thing and the chance to win it is another. I will do what I have to do prove to the world that I am worthy of it. Ric Flair, I am coming for you! Masked Superstar – Everyone talks about being the biggest and the baddest. Well I was screwed out of the NWA Title months ago and this time it is in my hands. The top 10 competitors in Mid South are going to get the chance at the title. I am going to throw them out left and right and when it is all said and done, Flair, you will have your toughest challenger to date… ME! Hacksaw Duggan – It feels good to be back in the Mid South Territory. I cannot wait to get back in the Superdome and Ric Flair… I want that chance. I’ve never had an opportunity to wrestle for the NWA World Title and I am going to do everything I can to get the chance and then get the gold tough guy! -Vince continues to plug the big event and says that Bruiser Brody has signed on to participate in the contest as well. He puts over how these ten men could all challenge Ric Flair and it would be a main event anywhere in the country. He turns his attention to Rick Rude who has been on a tear as of late… we see him in action. Rick Rude w/ Superstar Graham defeated Rick McGraw -Rude looks good here tonight. He has got his look down and he is getting more and more polished in the ring. Quick Draw gets a nice pop from the crowd but Rude and Graham are a good unit here. Rude with the Rude Awakening (DDT still) and the 1…2…3! He works the fans as he and Superstar pose. Vince puts over how they will be in tag team action on MSW this week against El Bracero and Jose Lothario! *COMMERCIAL* -Power Pro returns with Vince putting over all the action. He really pushes the battle royal this week on MSW. He talks about the big tag team match with El Bracero & Jose Lothario taking on Rude and Graham and then a special tag team encounter with ThunderBolt Patterson & S.D. Jones taking on Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch! He continues to pump the card as we go to our big main event of the evening…. MAIN EVENT The Junkyard Dog defeated Boris Zhukov -A fun main event here for the JYD who has got the crowd so stoked for him right now. He is without question the most popular man in the Mid South Territory. Zhukov gets some nice offense in and builds some heat on JYD who comes back guns a blazing! He nails some huge shots and has Boris reeling before he hits the THUMP for the 1…2….3!! McMahon puts over all the action and Mid South Wrestling to you this week from Oklahoma City!

Since he's out there, I'm going to pick up Nick Patrick and use him as a referee to go with Randy Anderson.

When we do the +1 in April... is anyone opposed to adding a manager to the mix as well? So it would be 37 workers... 4 managers... and at this point multiple "personalities" like announcers and such.

This ad deaths... I don't think there are too many deaths, but it would be good to see if we can put together some of this information. In terms of retirement, I know ThunderBolt Patterson is going to be on the short end of his career around this time and moving into a color commentator spot on television which may be what happens in Mid South.

Right. In our world I'm sure the Fabs would love running small towns in Alabama and not the bigger towns of Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. You're right, they aren't in the Fantastics league...

That's the best way to come into a new area is give them what they want to keep em coming. Don't forget Wahoo, he was huge in San Antonio. Of course, but in our timeline, these guys were massive players for 6 months and shouldn't be forgotten. Shame The Fabs didn't come in and show them wannabe Fantastic's who's the true babyface team of 1984 is... If only we worked together, the babyface bloodbath would ensure and the fans would scream, cry, and weep for the ones who are true to their hearts.

BREAKING NEWS OUT OF MID SOUTH -It seems as though Cowboy Bill Watts is back to his old ways. Following the explosion over Power Pro, Bill Watts is shipping Jim Ross and Joel Watts to Western Texas now to put them on the road 7 days a week. Watts told Ross he needs some extra work and has sent him and a skeleton crew out to El Paso, Odessa, and Amarillo to run on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays and then be back for television on Wednesdays. The days in which television is in Louisiana, Ross and company may have a hard time making it back for the shows, but there is word that Watts is going to send this crew to other areas for small spot shows in the coming weeks. Watts says he has another loop for these guys which he didn't reveal but expect to see some more Mid South Wrestling pop up. Some rumored names are Don Muraco, Masked Superstar, and the Moondogs highlighting the shows. Some have even wondered if Gino Hernandez may be getting involved to get rid of some ring rust. Don't be surprised to see other names come through to get an extra days pay. This will be the tell tale sign on if Watts fires Ross or keeps him for the long haul.

That's the best way to come into a new area is give them what they want to keep em coming. Don't forget Wahoo, he was huge in San Antonio.
