Whatever prez, you let me know what we do here, I will follow suit.

I am not worried about it, but if we are going to continue to let talent sit out there like a Barry Windham or Bret Hart or Ricky Steamboat and not be used, I am under the impression something needs to change in that sense. I have no problem with us continuing to post shows, these promotions in real life all died. No question about it. Some quick some long, but they all died. It is interesting to see who will survive and who's in for the long haul. I love writing shows. It can't be said that I don't put max effort into putting out a consistent and fun to read product. But in order for that to continue, I may speak for myself, but I would definitely like to work with different talents. That's being hindered with the current idea of having a roster sit with some great talents unavailable to be used. This idea of recharge is fine and all, I am good with it, but a dead promotion, is a dead promotion.

This is frustrating to hear man. From the looks around here, things haven't been to hopping as of late. I know I am booked up through the 17th of December. I hate to say we need to do another game of who is in and who isn't but production has definitely gone down over the past two weeks. Not a good thing with you dropping by any means.

Mid South Wrestling on Tour Nov. 1983
LowBlowPodcast replied to LowBlowPodcast's topic in Promotions
Mid South Wrestling is coming to you from Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, 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! Bill last week we saw this group of men… the Untouchables… led by Ted Dibiase! Bill Watts: That’s right Jim. Last week Ted Dibiase flexed his pocket book. He put together a super group and lemme tell ya something right now, we need to find some guys to stick up to them! Jim Ross: What is the word on the Junkyard Dog Bill? I know you met with him this week… Bill Watts: JYD was in good health. He has got a couple of broken ribs at the hands of the One Man Gang… but he said he can’t wait to get back into the ring. Jim Ross: I know we are ALL waiting on him coming back and getting some revenge… time will tell when he does make it back! Bill Watts: Well he is double tough and when push comes to shove, he will show everyone what it is all about in the middle of that ring! Jim Ross: Well tonight his buddy, Wahoo McDaniels is going to be in action and he’s got his hands full tonight against Blackjack Mulligan… you know that Dibiase’s men will be out there. Bill Watts: Well if Wahoo needs a hand… he can count on me, I will be there! Jim Ross: Well right now the One Man Gang is in action, let’s go to the ring! Ken Raper & Tommy Gilbert vs The One Man Gang w/ Ted Dibiase -A great little showcase of the One Man Gang. He is so big compared to the Gilbert & Raper and with Dibiase out there, it is nothing but a thing for the Gang. He beats both men within an inch of their lives and slams one on top of the other for a huge 747! 1…2….3! Dibiase then jumps into the ring and he says that tonight, Wahoo McDaniel is going to feel the pain. Tonight Wahoo McDaniel is going to go down just like the Junkyard Dog did. Tonight the Untouchables are going to leave him and Mid South will be theirs with no questions asked! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Watts and Ross putting the One Man Gang over in a huge way. They wonder who in the world could stand up against him. They put over the Untouchables and the big main event tonight with Wahoo and Mulligan. They then turn their attention to the World Tag Team Titles and say that the Samoans are looking for challengers. They put over a big tag team battle royal on the 11/30 edition of Mid South Wrestling in two weeks in which we will see a big tag team battle royal in which number one contenders will be crowned! They turn the attention to a big tag team match tonight as Misawa and Kawada are back in action! Misawa & Kawada vs The Shadows -A good back and forth here for the Japanese Superstars. We once again see the German Destroyers come out. Misawa and Kawada are snug and crisp and they make quick work of the Shadows with Ross and Watts putting them through the roof. Kawada with a huge savat kick on Red Shadow before Misawa catches him for a dragon suplex and the 1…2…3! Misawa and Kawada have won it but soon enough the Baron and Von Hess pull Kawada out of the ring and start going to work on him! Misawa comes out and we have a short brawl before referees break it up. Watts and Ross put it over as we cut to break… *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Ross and Watts putting over the big tag team brawl we just saw. Watts and Ross put over the big television title contest next week as Mr. Wrestling II goes for the gold against Don Muraco. They wonder if Paul Jones will get involved again and just how Wrestling II can contain him. Watts then announces that on December 16th and 17th, Mid South Wrestling will be coming to the Sam Houston Coliseum for a huge two night grand prix with two of the biggest wrestling cards in the history of professional wrestling. Watts says he is in negotiations to possibly bring in the NWA World Heavyweight Champion and Ted Dibiase has made it known that he would like to challenge him. Watts puts over how he has got some big names coming into Mid South over the next month including the return of the Midnight Express and the debut of the Rock N Roll Express in Mid South Wrestling! Ross and Watts put it over as we cut to the ring for our next match. El Bracero vs Mad Dog Boyd -A simple showcase for Bracero who is a tough competitor in the ring. Boyd gets some nice heat but it is Bracero who looks great with a huge high cross body for the victory. He works the crowd but then out of nowhere…. Superstar Graham: LET ME HAVE YOUR ATTENTION! LET ME HAVE YOUR EARS! Jim Ross: Superstar Billy Graham, what in world are you doing here? Superstar: Lemme tell you something daddy… today is a new day! Today is a day of reckoning! I have searched the world over for the man of the hour, the man with the power, the highlight maker, the record breaker! I have found him! I have found the sensation! I have found the man with the greatest body in professional wrestling! I am bringing him right here to Mid South Wrestling. I am going to show the world why he cannot be beat! I am going to show the world why he is the second coming! Mark it on your calendars, he is coming and the Superstar is bringing him! -As odd as his appearance, his disappearance does the same… Ross and Watts wonder what is going on here… *COMMERCIAL* {MSW returns with footage from last week and the Masked Superstar saying that he was robbed of the NWA title. He then walks out and says he is putting out the open challenge to anyone in wrestling. He says he will put his mask on the line! Superstar continues to work the crowd until a pop is heard and out comes THUNDERBOLT PATTERSON! The fans erupt as the ThunderBolt jumps into the ring and looks at the Masked Superstar and tells him to bring it!} OPEN CHALLENGE ThunderBolt Patterson vs Masked Superstar -A wild one to start as ThunderBolt comes with some big time rights and Superstar is backing up. ThunderBolt with a couple of big knee lifts and he looks to have complete control! ThunderBolt even looks to finish but when he sends Superstar to the ropes but the Superstar comes back with a big boot that just knocks his head clean off! The fans are starting to cheer for Patterson who works his way back up but Masked Superstar is just too much man. He is wearing him down like a piece of leather as Ross and Watts put it over in a big way. Masked Superstar is looking to finish as he works the neck and the back and goes for a shoulder breaker on Patterson who ducks over his back and then throws him into the turnbuckle. Superstar comes back and Patterson with a HUGE DROPKICK sending him flying! The crowd is going wild as ThunderBolt runs with a cross body and both men go over the top to the floor! We have got a wild brawl right now in the entryway! Masked Superstar then with a devastating shot to the throat and he hoists up Patterson and drops him down on the guardrail, right on the throat, putting him down! He works the fans as though he won the world title! This one goes to a no contest as the Masked Superstar has made it known that he will do whatever it takes to win a fight… *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with footage of the attack on Wahoo McDaniel last week. We hear Ross and Watts put it over in a big way and wonder just who will be able to help Wahoo against this group of Untouchables. Ted DIbiase walks out to the ring with the One Man Gang and he joins commentary. He puts himself over as the premiere wrestler in the world and says that on December the 16th, he has a chance to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and then he will have one more title for his other shoulder. Watts and Ross say that Harley Race is no one to be reckoned with and he could end up surprising Dibiase. They talk about the Untouchables and Dibiase says that he is going to hold Mid South up for hostage and Watts won’t have the money to buy it back! We cut to the ring as Wahoo McDaniel comes out and he looks into the ring as Mulligan stands tall with Lanza by his side! Watts says that Brody is gone, Andre is gone, and the JYD is gone… who could dare stand up to the Untouchables… MAIN EVENT Wahoo McDaniel vs Blackjack Mulligan w/ Blackjack Lanza -The crowd is going wild for the Okie Native as Wahoo comes out ready for a fight. Mulligan doesn’t even wait for him to get into the ring before he goes to work and we have got a world class brawl from the outset. The fans are going wild while Ross and Watts put this through the roof but Dibiase says there is no way that Wahoo can survive. Lanza is getting involved at every turn but Wahoo with a huge kick right to the mush and Lanza goes flying backwards. Mulligan runs at Wahoo but McDaniel comes back with an elbow right to the eye and Mulligan falls backwards. Mulligan’s eye is busted open the hard way here and Wahoo comes back with some huge chops and then a big BODYSLAM! Lanza gets up and he grabs Wahoo as Mulligan runs for a high knee but Wahoo moves and Lanza goes flying again! Mulligan turns around and Wahoo grabs him again with a roll up for the 1…2….3!! Wahoo has won it! Dibiase says it is a fluke but Wahoo says it was good enough to earn a shot against Dibiase in two weeks right here on Mid South television for the North American Championship!! Dibiase is irate as he explodes from the booth! -Now we see Dibiase, The Gang, and the Blackjacks on one side of the ring as they are looking to come in against Wahoo but then crowd just EXPLODES when the Fantastics and Mr. Wrestling II run out to the ring! We are moments away from an eight-man brawl as officials and agents come down. Nothing but talk right now but it could explode at any point in time! We have the Television Title on the line next week along with Kawada and Misawa taking on the German Destroyers. Then in two weeks the big tag team battle royal and the North American Championship on the line with Wahoo challenging Dibiase. Never a better time to be tuned in to Mid South Wrestling!! -
Today I will go ahead and drop Mike Reed and pick up Dennis Stamp (Yes... he's been booked)
-
MidSouth is going to pick up Steve Lombardi and Dennis stamp and then drop Mike and Robert Reed for full time employment. I apologize, I'm actually going to edit this. Since we are only allowed to pick up one person at a time I'm going to drop Robert Reed and pick up Steve Lombardi. Sorry for the confusion.
-
I agree. I liked my teams of ThunderBolt Patterson and S.D. Jones and then Burrhead Jones and Sweet Daddy Siki. The teams work well if you build them right which is exactly what you've done. Always interesting to see a new team get built for a common goal and see what they can do over the long term.
-
Pretty good stuff this week. Love the Brotherhood of Poland. I enjoy how much you push tag team wrestling and while other promotions may have "better" tag rosters, your ability to showcase tag team wrestling is second to none.

Mid South Wrestling on Tour Nov. 1983
LowBlowPodcast replied to LowBlowPodcast's topic in Promotions
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 some still photos from the huge show in the Superdome this past weekend. Jim Ross comments on each of the situations and he and Bill Watts put over the huge title change with Ted Dibiase walking out with the North American Heavyweight Championship. We cut to the arena with the fans in Shreveport going wild!} Jim Ross: WELCOME EVERYONE TO MID SOUTH WRESTLING! I am Jim Ross alongside Bill Watts and Bill, we are just a couple of days removed the biggest wrestling show in the history of Mid South Wrestling and the Superdome! Bill Watts: History was made this weekend Jim. Over 26,000 people packed the Superdome. There were four titles on the line. It was incredible. Jim Ross: I think a lot of people were interested in seeing the North American Championship match and how that unfolded. Bill Watts: Ted Dibiase… by hook or by crook… he walked away with the gold and I am interested to see what’s going on with the One Man Gang in Mid South Wrestling. Jim Ross: Another big contest was the “BATTLE OF THE GIANTS” and Stan Hansen being nothing more than a coward and trying to get disqualified during his match with Andre the Giant. Bill Watts: I don’t think that there is anywhere to put it. Hansen was doing everything he could not to fight Andre… {We then hear some rumbling as out of the back comes Hansen! He is screaming and yelling at Ross and Watts as the crowd explodes when Andre the Giant is shown walking out! He comes from behind and he and Hansen are going at it now! Officials and agents run down to the ring but they are being pushed back! Hansen then wildly swings the cowbell and he just CRUSHES Andre but he continues to fight back! Wait a moment… here comes the ONE MAN GANG AND TED DIBIASE! They join Hansen and they are wearing him down! It is a 3 on 1 on Andre and there’s nothing can be done! Hansen grabs the cowbell and he starts to rip open the stitches in Andre’s head! Andre is a bloody mess! My gosh it is all over the place! Hansen shakes hands with Dibiase and the Gang as Dibiase grabs the microphone and says he is going to rip Mid South Wrestling apart piece by piece! Watts and Ross can’t believe what has gone on here. Dibiase holds the title high in the air while Gang and Hansen walk back with him. What is going to happen from here?!?} *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Bill Watts and Jim Ross putting over the attack on Andre the Giant by Hansen, Dibiase, and the One Man Gang. The crowd is still stirring at Ross and Watts put over the Fantastics vs Midnight Express contest. Watts and Ross wonder if the Fantastics are in line to face the Samoans or if the Midnights will want revenge. They put over a new team from All Japan, Kawada and Misawa. They are in action tonight as we head to the ring! Misawa & Kawada vs Israel Matia & Raul Castro -A fun little contest with Misawa and Kawada making their debuts. Ross and Watts put them over as legit tag title contenders and wonder if they would be next in line for a shot at the gold. Ross also puts over the German Destroyers who haven’t been quiet about their title aspirations as of late. Inside the ring tonight though, Misawa and Kawada do some good work and get a nice victory over Matia and Castro when Misawa hits 3 big forearms and then a tornado forearm on Castro putting him down for the 1…2…3!! The crowd is luke-warm but Misawa and Kawada look good in their first dance here in Mid South. *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Watts and Ross continuing to put over the Superdome show and talk about it being a historic event for Mid South and for wrestling. They discuss the attack on Andre the Giant earlier and say he had to get staples in his skull from the attack and wonder what the long term affects of it will be. Ross and Watts then discuss ThunderBolt Patterson and talk about him being an up and coming contender for the Television Championship but tonight he has to get through Mr. Fuji… we take it to the ring… ThunderBolt Patterson vs Mr. Fuji -A good back and forth contest with Patterson and Fuji tonight but in all essence this is really the end of the chapter. ThunderBolt is on fire in the ring tonight and he takes advantage of Fuji’s miscues and controls the contest. Fuji is able to get in some offense for offense’ sake, but ThunderBolt fires back and hits a huge SPINEBUSTER for the 1…2….3! ThunderBolt makes the signal for the gold around his waist and it could only be a matter of time before he gets his hands on the title! -We then cut to Ross and Watts who are with the champion… Don Muraco and his manager, Paul Jones. Jim Ross: Gentlemen, thank you for coming in here tonight. We have to ask, Don Muraco, you stole a victory this past weekend against Wrestling II. You clearly had Paul Jones push you over in the roll up and give you the added pressure to get the victory. Don Muraco: It is just like you and the rest of the people out there to show me this kind of disrespect. There are always two sides of the coin Ross and you fail to see the right side. It is without question that I put Wrestling II down for the count, with no help from anyone. Bill Watts: How do you explain Paul Jones’ interference then? Paul Jones: What interference Watts? I did nothing? Bill Watts: If we had footage, I could show you plain and day pushing him over and holding him down for the cover… Paul Jones: That is IF you had footage Watts but you don’t. You, like all the other journalists out there, you are on the hunt. You are trying to make Don Muraco out to be a coward… someone that people cannot trust when he is the farther from that. In some people’s eyes, he is the truest champion of them all in wrestling. Without a shadow of a doubt, he deserves the credit and recognition for what he’s done in that ring and his character outside of it! Bill Watts: His character is in question but lemme tell you something right now… in two weeks, right here on this show, he is going to be DEFENDING that television championship! That’s right, I spoke with Wrestling II just before this broadcast and he is going to step in the ring with your champion and lemme tell ya, that title is going to be on the line and may be in jeopardy! -The crowd pops as Watts and Ross smile. Muraco and Jones are pissed, but in two weeks they are going to have to step in the ring with Wrestling II on emore time and it could be the last time for Muraco as champion! *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Ross and Watts talking about a pair of huge shows coming to Houston on December 16th and 17th and discuss how this will be a two night event featuring some of the top talent from around the world, including the NWA World Heavyweight Champion being in action. They turn their attention to our main event and talk about the wild brawl that happened this past weekend with the Blackjacks taking on Brody and Wahoo. They discuss the bloody brawl and talk about how many officials tried to stop the action but couldn’t come close. We then see the Masked Superstar emerge from the back… Jim Ross: Wait just a moment… Masked Superstar… what are you doing here? Masked Superstar: Let me make one thing clear to you Jim Ross and to you Bill Watts… I was CHEATED this past weekend. I should rightfully be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! Bill Watts: You and Harley Race did have a great contest, but I don’t think you were cheated in any way. Masked Superstar: You don’t know what the hell you are talking about Watts. You are just a nickel and dimer anymore… you couldn’t tell right from wrong if you had too! Bill Watts: Well I do know that you contract was only for one match here in Mid South… what are you still doing here?!? Masked Superstar: What I am doing here is calling out every single Mid South guy on the roster! I am tired of hearing about how Mid South has the biggest, the baddest, the toughest… well those three words describe me. I am issuing an OPEN CHALLENGE to anyone to step into that ring with me next week! Watts… if no one shows up, I may just come down here and look for a fight from you! -Masked Superstar walks off to a chorus of boos as Watts and Ross put over his actions. They put over the big main event tonight and wonder what will happen as Bruiser Brody is said to be in the arena but so could Blackjack Mulligan! MAIN EVENT Wahoo McDaniel vs Blackjack Lanza -A prime time main event with two of the biggest players in the game right now. Wahoo and Lanza do some fun work for around 11-minutes and you can tell both men are still hurting from the previous weekend’s battle. In an interesting turn of events, Ted Dibiase shows up and he has got the One Man Gang with him. They walk down the aisle to a chorus of boos and the crowd is just going wild against him. He stands in Lanza’s corner and cheers him on but then the fans EXPLODE when Bruiser Brody shows up! Brody gets into Wahoo’s corner and this one is white hot right now! Lanza attempts to go for the claw as Wahoo is fighting back with everything he’s got and then we see a series of big chops and an overhead chop that puts Lanza down to his knee. Wahoo hits the ropes but the Gang pulls the ropes down and Wahoo goes flying out of the ring and here we go! Bruiser Brody runs over and he attacks the Gang to a HUGE POP! BLACKJACK MULLIGAN RUNS OUT BUT BRODY CATCHES HIM AND NAILS SOME HUGE RIGHTS AND THEN A BODY SLAM ON THE FLOOR! WAIT A MINUTE! STAN HANSEN! MY GOSH! HANSEN ATTACKS BRODY! HANSEN ATTACKS BRODY! Pee Wee Anderson calls for the bell and this is a mugging! Ross and Watts are going nuts in the ring right now! Dibiase, Mulligan, Lanza, Gang, and Hansen are just laying the boots in on Brody and Wahoo right now! Add them to the list of JYD and Andre! Dibiase stands in the middle of the right with the Gang and Hansen on his left and the Blackajcks on his right. He grabs the microphone… Ted Dibiase: Bill Watts… this is for you. Inside this ring, you see what I can do. You tried to drive me out of Mid South. You have tried to keep this title off of me, but you have failed. With this title, I am untouchable. With this title, we are UNTOUCHABLE! Watts… you sit there and take this in…I am Mid South Wrestling… I am the one who runs things here… and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! -The screen fades with the image of all five men holding their arms up in the air… what happens to Mid South from here?! -
Should be good to go now fellas.
-
Free agency will be updated in roughly 30 minutes with all the new faces on it.
-
Florida is up to finish things then.
-
Jesse's time has passed. Mid South is going to pass this month and hope to see Dennis Stamp go to free agency... he will be booked. WWC is up.
-
Big time cards. My pick of Koloff is still holding strong. He has got as good of a chance as any... but I think I may be in the minority with Valentine being the strongest contender on the opposite side. A great start for a new promotion, keep being consistent and I think things are going to work out quite well for you in Detroit.
-
Some pretty great cards from the Coliseum here. It is a nice way to build up these regular big shows and showcase a ton of great talent. The second show especially with the AWA tg title match and then the JYD, and of course Hansen and Brody. Keep churning these things out as they are awesome events to see unfold.

When did Mid South start to peak?
LowBlowPodcast replied to thebrainfollower's topic in Pro Wrestling
Don't discount the 1980 run with the Freebirds vs JYD. It was stellar business on top of bringing in some major stars. It was always a good consistent promotion but I'd say notoriety wise, perhaps 84-85 when they got on that great TV run. -
I can't explain the excitement of seeing the Guerreros come in. Really some fantastic stuff. It is almost the equivalent to the Freebirds coming in to World Class to face the Von Erichs but the opposite with the Guerreros to come into MACW to feud with the Birds. This is going to light up an already white hot promotion going into the biggest event of 1983. Really great stuff man.
-
Awesome. Thanks!

Mid South Wrestling on Tour Nov. 1983
LowBlowPodcast replied to LowBlowPodcast's topic in Promotions
MID SOUTH WRESTLING -Presents- SHOWDOWN AT THE SUPERDOME Live on Saturday November 5th The Fantastics vs The Midnight Express w/ Paul Jones -What a way to kick things off as you’ve got two of the hottest tag teams in North America going head to head. This one goes 15 action packed minutes with the Midnights jumping out in front. They work over Fulton and Rogers and wear down the previous injuries but Rogers and Fulton fight back with the passion of 1,000 fires! The crowd is going nuts for the Fantastics who come back with some huge dropkicks and then we see Rogers dive off the apron taking out both Rose and Condry! The crowd is white hot right now. Fulton comes out and he tosses in Rose. Rogers gets on one of the ropes as Fulton goes up on the other turnbuckle. Rogers jumps with a flying dropkick and Rose goes down! Fulton then leaps with a flying SPLASH! Rogers nails Condry who is trying to get in the ring as Fulton covers for the 1…2…3!! The Fantastics have won it! Fulton and Rogers work the crowd as the Midnights are regrouping. Mil Mascaras vs Adrian Adonis -A great showcase of two major stars in the world of wrestling. Mascaras has got a lot of pop behind him and Adonis is still riding a heat-wave from the JYD situation. This one goes about 13-minutes with both men doing some decent work. Adonis does a majority of the beating down and really working the neck of Mascaras. Mil fights back and gets some pop from the crowd but Adonis continues to keep control of the contest. Mascaras then fights back again and this time he’s got steam! He is backing Adonis up with big rights and lefts and then hits a huge dropkick! Adonis goes flying back into the turnbuckle! Mascaras goes outside the ring and up to the top rope. He then leads but Adonis ducks the cross body and Mascaras lands hand on the mat! Adonis goes over and picks him up for a PILEDRIVER for the 1…..2…..KICK OUT right at the last moment! Adonis can’t believe it! Adonis is irate right now and he starts to kick and punch away as his picks up Mil but Mascaras with a roll up for the 1…2…3!! The crowd pops huge! Mascaras works the fans and walks up the aisle as Adonis can’t believe it! he is yelling at the referee about a fast count and then he pushes him to the ground. More officials come out as this one has really broken loose. MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP ThunderBolt Patterson & S.D. Jones vs The Wild Samoans © -The first of four huge title matches tonight and this one isn’t overly eventful. SD Jones and Patterson have got some momentum and do pretty good work as a tag team but they just can’t compare with the Samoans, who are without a doubt the most accomplished team in Mid South and possibly the world at this point. Afa and Sika are more dangerous now than ever without a manager and it proves to be the case here as they almost bite a piece of SD Jones off. ThunderBolt has got a lot of pop behind every punch and kick but it just isn’t enough. He ends up getting tossed into the ringpost. This gives the Samoans a chance to double up on SD Jones and a double SPINEBUSTER is all she wrote for the 1…2…3! The Samoans get a good defense and they look to be the team that will control the fate of Mid South tag team wrestling, who will be able to stand up against these two monster? MID SOUTH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. Wrestling II vs Don Muraco © w/ Paul Jones -Another big title match as this one is a rematch from the October 15th television title finals. Wrestling II is making his return to the ring and the crowd is 100% behind him. Muraco has got SO much heat on him right now. He and Jones act as though they rule the wrestling world. This one is a fun 17-minute affair with Muraco continuing to work over the knee of Wrestling II. The fans are living and breathing with every punch and kick. Wrestling II is fighting back but Muraco has got the power and control. Muraco continues to wear down and then just destroy the knee of Wrestling II. Muraco then locks in the figure out leg lock and Wrestling II is in a very bad way! He is fighting and then he turns over and now it is Muraco who is in a bad way! He lets loose and this is the moment for Wrestling II! He has got momentum and Muraco is fighting with everything he’s got but Wrestling II is looking to finish! He throws some big rights and lefts and then he sets up for Muraco and nails the HIGH KNEE! He takes out Muraco but Wrestling II goes down as well! He is grasping the knee and writhing in pain! He tries to get to the pin but it is too late and Muraco is stirring. Paul Jones is screaming out instruction and gets him motivated and now he is looking to finish off Wrestling II. He continues to work the knee and Muraco says he is going to put him down for good but as he grabs Wrestling II, II rolls him up for a small package and the 1….2…but then Paul Jones pushes Muraco on top and holds him for the 1…2….3!! Muraco has stolen this victory! He gets out of the ring and grabs the title. Jones and he celebrate up the aisle as Wrestling II appears to be in pain but he looks like he wants to bring the fight some more. This one is far from over. Bruiser Brody & Wahoo McDaniel vs The Blackjacks -Here we go with a white-hot feud between some of the biggest and toughest that professional wrestling has to offer. Brody and Wahoo don’t even get in the ring before this one breaks loose. You can tell that Lanza isn’t at his prime, but damn he is bringing it tonight. Mulligan and Wahoo are right after one another with neither one giving an inch. PeeWee Anderson loses complete control of this one. The action continues for 11-minutes of so and early on Wahoo gets busted wide open. Mulligan and Brody also get busted and there is a lot of blood flowing right now. The fans are screaming around ringside as the action is all over the place. PeeWee calls for the bell as this becomes a no contest when Mulligan pulls out a bullrope and then Brody pulls out a chair. This one completely breaks loose as officials and agents come down. Even Bill Watts is shown trying to break this one up. The Blackjacks back off as both men are in a bad way. Wahoo and Brody are absolute messes. One has to wonder what will be able to hold these four men in the future… N.W.A. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Harley Race © vs Masked Superstar -A huge opportunity for Mid South to get some press here with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. These two men work a more methodical pace for around 20-minutes. This one has some slow spots but tells a good story of the grizzled Harley Race who is demanding respect from every single individual around him. Masked Superstar is making his presence known and he will do whatever it takes. This has some slow spots with these guys working their style but it is a good change from what we’ve seen so far. Superstar attempts to use his strength and power but Race has got some great experience to counter every move. In the end we see Superstar attempting to go to town on the neck. Race is trying to fight back and then Superstar locks in the Cobra Clutch! Race is reeling but then the tide turns when he runs into the turnbuckle and Superstar nails the top turnbuckle and then Race rolls him up with some “extra” leverage for the 1…2….3! Race has retained the title and the crowd pops! Superstar is screaming that he held on to the tights! Race is still the champion but Superstar isn’t happy what so ever! BATTLE OF THE GIANTS Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen -Perhaps the “BIGGEST” match on the card. Hansen comes out with chew spewing all over the place. Andre is shown walking out as he towers over the crowd. The fans all cheer for the Giant who steps into the ring and looks across from Hansen. This one only goes about 9-minutes with some HEAVY blows. Hansen is doing everything he can to try and stay out of the Giant’s grasp. Once Andre gets his hands on him though, Hansen is at his mercy! Andre with some HUGE blows and Hansen is in a bad way! Andre with a huge headbutt and Hansen is busted WIDE OPEN! OH MY! Andre is even cut from that headbutt as this battle goes outside the ring to the floor. The referee has to call for the bell when Stan Hansen grabs a chair and he just CRACKS Andre right on that cut and there is blood everywhere! Hansen then cracks him again! Hansen is shown biting the cut above Andre’s skull and then Andre picks him up on his back and falls backwards on the concrete! Hansen was smooshed! The fans are going wild for this one and Andre is a bloody mess. Hansen is grasping his ribs, as they have to be broken after that drop! Where do these guys go from here? MAIN EVENT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP The Junkyard Dog © vs Ted Dibiase -The Main Event that EVERYONE has been waiting for. The JYD comes out to an AMAZING ovation from the crowd. The fans come unglued when he comes out and works every one of them into a frenzy. We then see Ted Dibiase come out and he looks trim and lean. He has got a Haliburton with him. He opens it and shows the JYD the money and JYD has got this crowd going as the North American Championship is on the line. $10,000 is on the line! The bell rings and here we go! Dibiase looks crisp and he holds the pace of this fun 16-minute contest. JYD does get tired towards the end, but he finds a way to continue to pull it out for the fans who are 100% behind him with every single move. JYD makes a valiant comeback after Dibiase fires away with piston like rights and lefts and then it is JYD who is hammering away with rights and lefts and sending him all over the ring! JYD with a huge back body drop and Dibiase is in some serious pain! JYD looks out to the crowd and he is ready as JYD picks him up and a huge bodyslam throwing him across the ring! JYD barks out to the crowd! Wait a moment… someone is coming up the ramp… this huge man with a mask on… what is going on!?! JYD hits the ropes but the masked man grabs his leg and then he turns around to jive with him… the referee tries to get involved and then Dibiase comes and he just DESTROYS JYD with the BRIEFCASE! OMG! JYD is laid out in the middle of the ring and Dibiase covers him for the 1…..2…..3!!! TED DIBIASE HAS WON THE NORTH AMERICAN TITLE! TED DIBIASE IS BACK IN MID SOUTH! This huge masked man gets into the ring. Ted Dibiase opens up the briefcase and he pulls out a BRICK! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE! He hands the briefcase to the masked man who takes off his mask… IT’S THE ONE MAN GANG!} {Dibiase holds up the title belt and then backs into the corner as the One Man Gang comes over and he just DESTROYS JYD with FIVE 747 splashes! We see some guys come out as the OMG backs off with Dibiase. He was perhaps the biggest and most dangerous masked mercenary of them all and he got paid off for his deeds! The crowd saw an amazing event as they seem to be worried about the condition of the JYD. Where does Mid South go from here?!?} -

I'd like to formally request 12/16 for the NWA champion in Mid South. He'd be able to make the flight down to PR on the 17th with no issues.
