Mid South Wrestling is coming to you from the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club in Shreveport, Louisiana on Fox and its affiliates Fox 8 out of New Orleans, KLRT 16 out of Little Rock, WXXV 25 out of Jackson, KOKH 25 out of Oklahoma City, and KRIV 26 out of Houston. {Mid South Wrestling opens with highlights of all the top stars of Mid South Wrestling. We then cut to the Jim Ross and Bill Watts standing by!} Jim Ross: WELCOME EVERYONE TO MID SOUTH WRESTLING! I am Jim Ross alongside Bill Watts! Fans we have got a HUGE night of action but Bill… I think we have got to talk about what happened just this past Friday night in Houston! Bill Watts: It was Black Friday in Houston! The fans saw the RETURN OF THE JUNKYARD DOG! Jim Ross: Fans it was electric in the arena and we know that the JYD is back! Bill Watts: He is a double tough competitor and someone who is looking to get back in the hunt and you know he has got Ted Dibiase and the One Man Gang on his mind! Jim Ross: Fans tonight we will see Ted Dibiase in action against Wahoo McDaniel and the North American Championship is going to be on the line. Plus, we will see that huge tag team battle royal. Bill Watts: Lemme tell ya… tonight we are going to find out who will be going back to Houston and face the Samoans. Jim Ross: It is going to be a monumental night in the history of Mid South Wrestling fans, let’s take it to the ring! Dennis Stamp & Pete Sanchez vs The One Man Gang -A fun little opener as Stamp and Sanchez do their best against the Gang but nothing doing. He is without a doubt one of the toughest men in the sport and he lays waste to these two like they were nothing. He body slams both men on top of one another and a big double 747 splash for the 1…2…3!! He works the crowd as they ERUPT when out of the back walks the Junkyard Dog! The JYD IS HERE as officials and agents are in between him and the Gang… *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns as Watts and Ross put over the big double night showdown in Houston in just a couple of weeks. They talk about the possibility of the NWA World Champion coming in to defend against the North American Champion. They say that Stan Hansen will be there and so will Andre the Giant and you know that couple spell trouble. They put over the tag team division and say that in two weeks, we will see a special showcase contest from two of the top teams in the country when the Rock N Roll Express take on the Midnight Express. They talk about some of the super teams in this battle royal and then cut to the ring! TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYAL The Blackjacks, Mr. Wrestling II & ThunderBolt Patterson, The Fantastics, The German Destroyers, Masked Superstar & Don Muraco, S.D. Jones & El Bracero, Los Conquistadors, Israel Matia & Raul Castro, Mad Dog Boyd & Jerry Brown -A couple of duds out there but this is a fun twenty man royal. Watts and Ross put over how if one man gets eliminated, then so does his partner. We see that happen right off the bat as Wrestling II and Don Muraco go head over heels and just start lighting one another up. On the other side of the ring Masked Superstar and ThunderBolt do the same and before too long all four men are out of the ring to the floor. We see the Blackjacks do some nice work and throw a couple of guys out. The Fantastics are sporting some taped ribs and bandages as Ross and Watts put over what happened to them the other night in Houston. We get some of the flack out of the ring and it comes down to the final four teams with the Jacks, Fantastics, Destroyers, and El Bracero & SD. We get some fun back and forth action and a close elimination as Fulton goes over the top and one foot touches the floor but not two. On the other side of the ring SD Jones with a clothesline on Von Hess taking him out of the ring to the floor! The Germans are done but The Baron is holding on to El Bracero as the Blackjacks toss SD Jones! We are down to two! We see the classic BIG vs small with the Blackjacks trying to overpower the Fantastics but they are playing cat and mouse! We see some big clotheslines coming but Rogers and Fulton duck and then come back with some huge dropkicks and the Jacks back up but then the Fantastics run one more time with some huge dropkicks and the Blackjacks go over the top and to the floor! The Fantastics have won it! They are going to Houston! The crowd is going wild as this huge contest comes to an end. Rogers and Fulton get their shot in a couple of weeks but can they overpower the Samoans?!? *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns and out of nowhere Superstar Billy Graham walks out in front of the commentary booth… Superstar Graham: It is the time… this is the place… one week from now the world will be changed forever. I am talking about the premiere body in all of professional wrestling. I am talking about the man who will change the scope of the sport. I am talking about the man who will do what no other has done! I have got the power right here in the palm of my hand and I am giving it to him. I am giving it to the body. I am giving it to the mind. I am giving him the heart and the soul of the Superstar daddy. You are talking about the absolute… the cream of the crop and it has risen to the top! -Just like that Graham walks off as Ross and Watts put it through the roof. We then see Paul Jones come out with Don Muraco. Jones it putting over the television champion and says without a doubt that Wrestling II will never touch that TV title! Just then Wrestling II does come out and he challenges Muraco on the 17th of December. Muraco says it isn’t enough and Wrestling II says he will put his mask on the line against Muraco’s television title! Bill Watts then steps in and says that it is going to be a huge event in Houston and that the television title will be contest in a CAGE MATCH on the 17th! He states that on the 16th we will see Bruiser Brody and Wahoo McDaniel taking on the Blackjacks in a cage match! They put over Andre the Giant taking on Stan Hansen and just announced ThunderBolt Patterson taking on The Masked Superstar! We will have more matches announced as we see Ted Dibiase coming down to the ring for the match that we will have when we come back from commercial! *COMMERCIAL* NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP Wahoo McDaniel vs Ted Dibiase © -We have got limited television time remaining but Bill Watts and Jim Ross have stated that the cameras will continue to roll! Wahoo is out to a huge ovation from the crowd and this one starts out hot! We have got some huge CHOPS and Dibiase is selling like he’s never sold before! Wahoo is not in his prime condition but he puts out some good offense and keeps the pace. Dibiase pulls the referee out of the way and then hits a LOW BLOW on Wahoo McDaniel! He starts to dig and scratch away at Wahoo which draws out the Junkyard Dog to a huge ovation. He is trying to tell the referee that Dibiase is cheating as Dibiase continues to pull something out of his tights and then he puts it back in. Out of the back comes the One Man Gang and he just DESTROYS JYD with the chain on the back of the head! Gang then jumps in the ring and it is 2 on 1 against Wahoo as this one is all over. Watts and Ross are going nuts on commentary putting it over! JYD climbs back in the ring and here we go! We have got fists of fire reigning down as the crowd is going nuts. Watts and Ross sign off as MSW will be back next week!

As kind of a frame of reference, I know we have a couple more people interested in joining so we can try and get them set up. Jhawk and Superfan have yet to reply if they are going to take part or not. It is currently Tuesday, so I say we at least go until Friday and see what happens and possibly start Saturday. Put the word out to anyone you know who is interested and we can pick things up from there.

Should be good to go now.

I can edit and have the Flame and Don Bass full time for you as that is probably what would happen if they were 50/50 and one company went out of business they would more than likely join the other anyways so that works. If you do want to add people, it would be done through Free Agency and the Fresh Face drafts like we've been doing. Free agency will get some people when we try to refit into the cap plus we still have to decide on what to do with all the left over talent. Does it stay with the promotion or does everyone become free to pick up for free agency.

As long as we're good with that... Andre will become a freelancer starting January 1st since he is in Japan most of December and already has some bookings for December. The whole Freelancers booking portion of this is something we will need to look into and re-doing the list to make sure everyone is up to date on who has which month and who is available.

All active promotions please post your 15 keepers and then your list of those who will be up for draft and I will edit the main post here. We just need to finalize if managers will be 36 total or 36 + 3 managers. I am fine either way.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Re-Draft of the 1983 project. As we approach 1984, some promotions have fallen while others have risen. Some promotion have found new owners and others have ceased to exist. Some wrestlers have not seen the world while others have traveled too hard too long. The main purpose of this draft is to re-introduce members of the inactive rosters into the active rosters and utilize them to their individual potentials. Keep in mind that individuals must follow the 36-wrestler cap when drafting. Here are the rules… The draft will go in SNAKE order with a strict 24-hour time limit. The purpose of the 24-hour limit is to not take picks from someone, but rather continue the draft to finish it in a timely manner. If you know that you will not be available, simply let myself know your top 10 and I can make a proxy pick for you. If you do miss your pick, once you are available, you can come in and pick at your earliest convenience. You will then be re-entered into the order and pick at your next available spot. In order to enter the draft, ACTIVE promotions must initiate their 15-player hold. The rest of their roster will then be eligible to be drafted by others. IF MEMBERS ON YOUR LIST DON'T GET DRAFT, YOU KEEP RIGHTS TO THEM. IF YOU ARE OVER THE CAP WHEN THE DRAFT IS COMPLETE, YOU WILL NEED TO RELEASE TO FREE AGENCY. NEW promotions will have the ability to keep 5-people on their hold and then draft the rest of their roster. Again, no promotions can go over the 36-worker & 3-manager cap. Individuals can drop out of the draft at any point and then utilize free agency to continue to build his individual roster. ONE POINT to remember is that the draft picks will not be active until the individual drops from the draft. For instance, if Mid South were to draft Ric Flair, I would not be able to use him until I completed the draft and dropped out. Those individuals in the draft can keep proposed dates and then become free. Please work this out with the individuals that draft said worker so that you don’t have to change up your plans due to this happening. Each person picked is one draft pick. Teams can be picked, but it forfeits your following pick in the next round. For instance, if Mid South were to draft the Road Warriors, I would get Hawk in round 1 and then Animal in round 2 and my round two pick would be automated. This is exactly the same as the initial draft back in June. You can also just choose to draft one member of a team and keep that person without his partner (and maybe get lucky later in the draft). Our draft master BEAST will be releasing the order once we have a complete set of who is in and who is out. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will update this as needed.

Do we want the cap to be 36 workers + 3 managers or just 36 total for everyone including managers?

I hear ya there PW... the thing I think everyone is jumping to about the cap is that you must get there. The cap is there to let you know the max. If you want to run a promotion with 15-20 people, you are more than welcome too. Don't let the cap say, you HAVE to have 36 people, it is simply an option for those who are looking to do more. Everyone is going to be on the same playing field, just some will have more players but there will be no one who completely rules the roost. None of the territories are going NATIONAL right off the bat. The cap just allows for growth for those who want it and those who don't can run their promotion as small as they'd like or move up and down within the cap with no hesitation.

Sounds great. I think we have two more in the hopper right now but we will definitely be getting going on the re-draft in the coming days. I am working on the draft thread tonight to put up.

Absolutely, the winds of change are here and now is the best time to join. Check out the inactive promotions and see who'd you be interested in.

That would be great PWsony. Check out the http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/32535-roster-database/ and let us know who you're looking for. Gene has said he's interested in MACW or ICW depending.

One thing I did want to put out there for everyone was the trade with Andre that Dawho and I had. The initial trade was for the Fantastics for Andre. Andre was up front with the Fantastics coming in down the line. As we have discussed, Andre as an attraction is a great way to present him and I wanted to see if there was objection to reverting this trade and offering up Andre to become a full time freelancer? Andre would then be available for everyone to book with no issues and he would also be stepping in for the Sheik who I believe is going to be going into semi-retirement next year. Any thoughts? I am good either way, but thought this would be a good thing to throw out there and allow Andre to be used by everyone.

So good news, Beast has agreed to stay on as our resident adviser and draft overseer. He will be able to get us up to date lists of those needed to be drafted for fresh face monthly drafts along with randomizing orders and such.

I agree. This is all a choice. I want to try and work on getting the other guys brought in and get this thing going over the course of the week. It would be amazing to have this all finished up within 2-3 weeks before Christmas but I am very optimistic.

That works perfect then. If you don't take part in the draft, your roster would be fully intact with no issues and you could still get some pieces out of free agency with no concerns.

For sure. I think even looking at someone like Blackjack Mulligan. I have him scheduled until the 17th and would like to continue that booking. If he's drafted, as we've done in the past, It hink it would be beneficial to keep that agreement going until he has finished his bookings with me.

Also don't forget Rain, you could step in for 2 or 3 rounds of the draft and then bow out to not get too much but get what you want.

I will try and work with Kris Z or even talk Beast into staying around as the draft master to unleash the lists and such... he could even randomize our draft order for the 6 monther if he was open.

I agree with the 36 roster cap. Then we do a +1 every 3 months to cap out at 40 at the end of next year. In terms of the draft, I am cool with promotions sitting still. No reason to fix what isn't broken. You and Boon are from the looks of it going to be watching it unfold which is perfectly fine. I know I am taking part to hopefully get some fresh talent in the under part of the card. I agree with the 15 limit and while bloated rosters can be an issue, one has to remember that the cap is just a cap, not a minimum. Some rosters may only have 28 guys and there's nothing wrong with that. In terms of the draft roster... I think one thing to look at is the possibility of saving their first draft pick maybe? Then drafting but keeping those individuals who didn't get drafted specific to those rosters as starting points. I know one thing I thought of is if I were to draft someone from Stampede... I would then send one of my guys to Stampede after the draft was complete to even things out almost.

I agree Dex and Rain. Good points. I think this one is good to go then on the inactivity rule unless someone opposes who is currently on the list of those inactives (Jesse or Boricua)

Thanks for joining up Gene. Looking forward to your contributions here. Gene is 1 of the 4 hopeful newcomers to jump in and get going soon! I have updated the roster database from the last known point. Please let me know any changes that need to be made on there.

I wouldn't worry too much about that in terms of holding off shows... we need more production now than ever. I know regardless of what we have going on, I have booking plans through December 17th and any kind of roster swaps and changes wouldn't be totally effective until after that date. When the draft approaches, it will be a week long at least so these changes wouldn't all have to take place until it was complete. One thing we need to look at is those in the NWA and the world title situation. If MACW did drop out, then Race is still the champion at this point and should be handled as such.

I think the biggest thing right now for all active members is to take part in the discussion over on the game station. Those things were put up so that we could decide on what to do and will be optional for active promotions to take part in. Promotions that have been active, inactive will be closed unless somebody can come in and let us know what the report is for them. Obviously with the holiday weekend it is been difficult to get a hold of everyone however I'm working with a couple of new people and I've got at least two of them signed up with two more on the hopper. I'm trying to finalize all details with them before we get started they will choose Open promotions and be able to save at least 5 people from those and then redraft the rest. The idea behind that would be a change in ownership therefore causing people to move around. Again with the optional redraft those promotions that wish not to take part do not have the rosters changed at all those individuals taking part would get to say roughly 15 people from the promotion while the other ones would be put into a large mega draft with all individuals who are free agents at this point from an active promotions. I am fine with the roster cap however there has been discussion on raising that we can look at pumping it up to 36 for the draft and then raising it by one every 4 months putting it up to 40 at the end of 1984 going into 85 and then revisit.
