All set.

I hear ya, and I definitely see both sides of the story. I guess we could run with that for a while and see what it looks like. If you have 34 you have to do the drop/add... if you have less you can pick up with no drop. Seem good?

You said drop the trade, would that mean ending the statute where you drop someone in order to add someone on the free agency wire?

Mid South is like it was before going national, like the wwf was, simply an associate and not full member.

How would that work if you only get so many people? Some of us may not be at the cap yet but wouldn't we want everyone on the same plain?

Exactly. We could change the rule but since people voted on the cap, this kind of has to be in place.

Yes, I believe we agreed on something along the lines of dropping someone to pick someone up fully. If it was simply to give the person work for a month, they would become a free agent once that month concludes. If you are indeed having them full time, a person would need to be dropped, regardless of the roster cap. Those "free adds" if you will come from the drafts.

I like the output from Floria so far. Sullivan is a key component to the dark side. Hennig is an up and comer who will shed blood for the fans and the fate of his career. Then we have Dusty who will always be the top draw and the man by which the world turns. Some good additions with Mike Von Erich and Mike Shaw who will both be serviceable members of the roster while Mosca is turning into the biggest bully on the block. You put forth a lot of attention to the details which helps the product build and the fluidity by which it comes across will become more clear as time progresses. When Dusty has some free time and wants to come swipe up all the Superdome money, let me know, he is a highly valued commodity anywhere in the world and Mid South would love to do business with him.

10/19 - Mid South Wrestling Live- Shreveport, Louisiana - Irish McNeil Boys Club Mid South Wrestling is coming to you from the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 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 footage of the big show from the Sam Houston Coliseum this past weekend. We then cut to the arena and before Watts and Ross can even get into it, here comes Adonis, Borne, and Bravo! Jim Ross: Now what in the world are you guys doing out here? Adrian Adonis: We aren’t out here for a fight Ross… we are out here to collect a check or an answer! Now where is that low down dirty dog!? {The crowd then pops as the JYD comes out but he isn’t alone! Wahoo McDaniel and Mr. Wrestling II join him… we also see some officials come out as Bill Watts walks in front of the broadcast booth…} Bill Watts: Well JYD… everyone wants to know… will you face Ted Dibiase on the 5th? JYD: Lemme tell you something Bill Watts… I looked at that check last week and I thought… $10,000 is a lotta money. That’s a lot of money that could be used to help a lot of people in Shreveport. So I got on the phone and I got a hold of the Boys and Girls right here in Shreveport and I cashed that check and gave them every single dime of that $10,000! {The crowd pops huge! Adonis and company aren’t happy at all with this announcement…} Adonis: So I take it you accept the match and are going to try to get your hands on another check huh? JYD: Adrian… I am going to take that match. I am going to once and for ALL get rid of Ted Dibiase. You found out first hand that I am the champion and there ain’t a man alive who can take it from me! {Dino Bravo then steps up and gets into the JYD’s face… Wahoo counters as we have got a big time showdown coming up. Bill Watts is in between em as Jim Ross announces a huge main event of Wahoo McDaniel taking on Dino Bravo here tonight!} *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with highlights from the Houston Wrestling event this past weekend. We see the encounter between the Fantastics and the German Destroyers. The Baron and Von Hess make their way down to the ring and run down the two pretty boys as they call em. Watts and Ross put both teams over as we cut to the ring. The Fantastics vs The Shadows (Red & Black) -Another fun tag team contest for the Fantastics. They work very well with the Shadows who bump around and feed them everything they need to look great in the ring. Fulton and Rogers have really begun to gel as a tag team and it shows tonight. Red and Black attempt to break things up but it is two much. A wheelbarrow tag team maneuver has got the crowd going wild. The Destroyers are outside the ring just running them through the dirt. A pair of double dropkicks and then a ROCKET LAUNCHER for the 1….2….3!!! Fulton and Rogers look out to the Destroyers and they are welcoming in another fight but nothing doing. The Destroyers walk to the back but out of nowhere Stan Hansen is here and he’s throwing quite the tantrum! Ross and Watts put over the tag title contest from Houston…. *COMMERCIAL* Jim Ross: Fans I am joined by Stan Hansen… Bill Watts has got to the back… we have something happening… Stan Hansen: You damn right something is happening! You better know that big dumb ape Andre the Giant is nowhere to be found! I am calling him out right now! Jim Ross: We know Andre the Giant is here but he isn’t scheduled… Stan Hansen: You write that big goof a letter and tell him Stan Hansen is here and he wants a fight! {Hansen walks away from Ross and gets into the ring and he is twirling around that bull rope! We have got pure chaos as Andre emerges from behind the curtain and Bill Watts is trying to hold him back but Andre pushes him to the ground! The Giant comes down to the ring and Hansen attempts to hit him with the cowbell but misses the first time and then cracks him the second! Andre is busted but it only makes him angrier! He grabs the rope and pulls Hansen over to the ropes and nails him with a big right hand! Andre is nailing him through the ropes as officials come down. They are trying to pull Andre off and Hansen breaks free and goes to the back! Watts is there with Andre and threatens to take him out and he says he wants Hansen! *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Bill Watts in shambles thanks to Andre the Giant. He proclaims that Andre does want a match with Hansen in the Superdome on the 5th of November, but it will be Hansen who must decide if he accepts! Watts and Ross then officially announce that there will be a special showcase match on November the 5th from the Superdome as N.W.A. World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race will be taking on the Masked Superstar! Watts puts over how Superstar is one of the most dangerous men in wrestling and someone who could take the title from Race. Watts and Ross also put over the Midnight Express from Montreal and talk about them being here next week on Mid South Wrestling and what kind of impact they could have on the tag team division. They put over the recent issues with ThunderBolt Patterson and Tiger Chung Lee. Tonight ThunderBolt takes on Mr. Fuji in a rematch from last week, let’s take it to the ring! ThunderBolt Patterson vs Mr. Fuji w/ Tojo & Tiger Chung Lee -This one is chaos from the outset as Tiger won’t get out of the ring for the referee to start the match and now here comes Fuji and it is a double team! These two are wearing down ThunderBolt Patterson something awful as the crowd pops when S.D. Jones comes out! Watts and Ross put over S.D. as a buddy of ThunderBolt and he comes in for the save. We get some fun Texas Tornado action inside the ring before Fuji and Tiger are sent packing. S.D. & ThunderBolt look good here tonight as they work the crowd. We then cut to Watts and Ross who are standing by with the NEW Television Champion, the Magnificent Don Muraco and he isn’t alone! Jim Ross: Ladies and gentlemen we want to bring in the new television champion, Don Muraco and his new manager, Paul Jones. Gentlemen, this was pure chaos over the weekend in Houston and you came out on to… Don Muraco: I came out more than on top you goof. I came out as the unprecedented, undisputed, and undefeatable Television Champion! This title is just a symbol of what excellence is all about Ross! Now you look to my left and this is the man that helped me through that final match! Jim Ross: The “Incomparable” Paul Jones. You were perhaps the last man we expected to see show up in the Mid South area, especially with Don Muraco! Paul Jones: Well you and all these other country bumpkins need to realize that when you have a talent the likes of Don Muraco, you do what you need to make him happy. You see he was in a rut due to all the recent events and he needed to win the biggest match of his life this past week, and I was just the man to help him! Bill Watts: That was still not without controversy. How about Wrestling II flying over the top rope? How about Jones pushing your backside over and you then getting the pinfall? Don Muraco: Details Watts, details. Where is Wrestling II tonight huh? He is sitting in some hospital bed with a bum knee knowing he couldn’t hack it! He knows he couldn’t beat me on his best day and I want to tell the world out there and everyone in the Mid South territory that this title is Don Muraco’s and there is NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE who will take it from me! Bill Watts: Well don’t count your chikcens before they hatch Muraco, because I talked with Wrestling II. He will be here next week and to go along with that, on the 5th in the Superdome, he is going to get his rematch with you and that title is going to be ON THE LINE! Paul Jones: Bill Watts, if you want to be the man who helps end the career of Mr. Wrestling II, that is your single-mindedness… but understand this… on November the 5th, not only will Don Muraco walk out with the gold, but he may walk out with Wrestling II’s dignity and end his career… mark my words! Jim Ross: Well be that as it may folks, we have got a huge main event coming up next, we’ll be right back! *COMMERCIAL* -Watts and Ross return for Mid South Wrestling putting over that big Superdome Extravaganza on November the 5th. They expect more matches to be signed next week, but with JYD vs Dibiase and Muraco vs Wrestling II on the card, but a possibly showdown of Andre and Hansen, this is shaping up to be one of the biggest cards in the history of Mid South! They discuss the big title win of the Samoans again and say that next week we will see a number one contenders one night tournament with the Fantastics taking on the German Destroyers and ThunderBolt Patterson & S.D. Jones taking on Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee. The winners of those matches will face off with the winner going on to face the Samoans in the Superdome! We see Bravo coming out to the ring now…and of course he isn’t alone! Wahoo walks out but he isn’t alone either! He is joined by the JYD but he has someone else… THAT’S BLACKJACK LANZA! Things are heating up as this is an impromptu lumberjack match! MAIN EVENT Wahoo McDaniel vs Dino Bravo -Just a fun back and forth contest with two of the baddest dudes on the block. Bravo and Wahoo try to chop each other down piece by piece! The crowd is hot for Wahoo who has gotten a great ovation from the beginning. He and Bravo do well with the power v power and of course, with Borne and Adonis outside the ring, they are getting some great heat. Watts and Ross wonder what Lanza’s motives are but they say he’s close to Dog and Wahoo. This one has got limited television time remaining and these two guys are pushing every limit to take the other out before the bell rings. Wahoo picks up the pace and he is looking to put Bravo away. We see Adonis try to get involved but then Lanza grabs him but comes crashing down pretty awkwardly and he is grasping his knee! The crowd is in shock right now as JYD comes over and CRACKS Adonis! On the other side of the ring though, Matt Borne has got a roll of quarters in his hand and he just NAILS Wahoo McDaniel and he falls backwards. Bravo covers for the 1…2….3! The camera shot sees Wahoo’s face just COVERED in blood. JYD is checking on him while we have medics checking on Lanza. This doesn’t look good for the Blackjack as he just got out here and now it appears he could be done before he even started! Borne, Bravo, and Adonis all seem pleased. The Road to the Superdome has started, who else will be added to this MONSTER card on November the 5th?! MID SOUTH WRESTLING Presents: Superdome Extraveganza! Live on Saturday November 5th, 1983 from the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP The Junkyard Dog © vs Ted Dibiase NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Harley Race © vs Masked Superstar MID SOUTH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. Wrestling II vs Don Muraco © w/ Paul Jones

Awesome stuff from the WWA. I like the big build to the Race vs Guerrero contest. I am also big on the Orton and Slater tag team. They are two solid workers who could put on some special stuff. The Sarge vs Bockwinkel is a great hidden match with two prime time players and of course with Bobby Heenan making his presence known. I also liked to see conclusion of the Funk vs Brisco contest. It was fun to write about in WWF so it was great to see it conclude here. So much talent and some great stuff, keep doing work.

A ton of great contests from the AWA over the last couple of days. Hogan's reign is going to be filled with some big competitors, with an emphasis on the BIG. I have really enjoyed the build of the Road Warriors and without a doubt, they have been sky rocketed to the top, especially in Main Events over Hogan. I also liked the inclusion of Jerry Lawler for his little run. He and Hogan have got some history so this is a nice way to showcase two of the big stars in wrestling right now.

I like the faster pace television show. Easier to read and somewhat easier to understand. You've got a ton of foundational pieces set. My only gripe would be Casey going down clean, but he's going down to Flair, which isn't a bad thing at all. Casey is a commodity right now and he's on the edge of becoming something more than he's ever been in MACW, I am interested to see how you develop him more in the future. Plus we've got the Iron Sheik coming up and like you said for JYD, Flair has got a lot of great competitors coming up.

A couple of pretty big matches here. Bravo has had a nice little cup of coffee so far in Montreal, should be fun to see if he has more in the tank. I did want to put over the format of your shows and the timing. This is a good attention to detail that some of us don't add and it gives you an edge.

Continued success in Montreal with some amazing tag team action. At some point we are going to see the separation and a couple of teams rise to the top while others falter. My bet is obviously on the Express and Rougeuasbut I am not discounting the Can Am and Tongan Terrors.

A simple showcase highlighting some big moments in the week of wrestling. A great piece to set a foundation for the NWA's joint production moving forward.

Jack Carson & Steve King move on from Mid South.

I'll add these soon

You'd be fine to use him like that. Just pick him up and use him for the angle and drop him.

Waiting to book Dennis Stamp - Pass for this month.

Who is taking over this month's booking with Grimmas dropping out?

10/15 Mid South Wrestling Live- Houston, Texas - Sam Houston Coliseum EXTRAVEGANZA -Mid South Wrestling opens tonight with a special tribute to the Grand Wizard as his picture is shown. We also get a 10-bell salute before the nights action. Watts and Ross put over the big card tonight with three huge title matches on the line. They put over this whole masked mercenary issue and wonder if the JYD will in fact sign the contract to face Ted Dibiase in the Superdome on November 4th. We then cut to the ring for our opening contests… The Fantastics defeated The German Destroyers via DQ -A hot opener with Fulton and Rogers pretty over with the crowd. The Baron and Von Hess really do a good job of getting heat on these two young guys. Fulton and Rogers look to finish but out of nowhere the Baron nails Fulton with some kind of object. Von Hess and the Baron then go to work on Fulton before Rogers fights his way back to back them off. Watts and Ross put this over big time and say this one is far from over. *COMMERCIAL* -We return to Mid South Wrestling with Ross and Watts discussing the recent signing of Wahoo McDaniel. He says that he has come to the Mid South area to work with the best talent there is and it feels good to be back home. Watts and Ross then put over the event last night in this very arena where we saw Dino Bravo get unmasked by the Junkyard Dog and being announced as the third masked mercenary. Watts and Ross talk about how these are two of the most dangerous men in wrestling but tonight they face two of the biggest stars in the world of wrestling. Wahoo McDaniel & Mil Mascaras vs Matt Borne & Dino Bravo -A star-studded event with four good workers. This one has got a great pace from the outset with four well-known stars. It is a great tale of Wahoo getting beaten down something awful. Watts and Ross put this through the roof and it builds to Wahoo making the HUGE tag to Mascaras who comes in like a house of fire with some big time offense. He is flying around as Borne and Bravo are looking to slow the pace but nothing doing. Wahoo is building back up on the corner and when Bravo and Borne look to double up on Mascaras Wahoo comes in with chops a plenty! Bravo and Mascaras fall through the ropes and then Wahoo comes with a nasty double chop that sends Borne crashing down and he is grasping his chest something awful. He rolls out of the ring and we’ve got a big 4-way brawl. Mascaras finds his way back in the ring while the referee counts to 10. We have a winner via count-out but this fight is far from over as Wahoo continues to chop away. Mascaras comes out but Borne and Bravo back off. Watts and Ross say they can’t wait to see how this plays out next week on Mid South television... *COMMERCIAL* Jim Ross: Fans we are back and on the brink of our first of two big television championship tournament matches. Bill Watts: We know that Muraco and Wrestling II will be facing off later, but this match has got a lot on the line. Jim Ross: That’s right Bill. Right now, Tiger Chung Lee has got 15 points, if he wins by a pinfall or submission, he would be in the lead and almost out of reach, except for if Wrestling II wins later on by Count out of Pinfall/Submission. Right now ThunderBolt only has 5 points, and he needs a big win right here to jump up to share the lead with Wrestling II. He would then need Muraco to win by DQ in order to tie with Wrestling II and for a sudden death next week on television. Bill Watts: Ross, this is quite the predicament, let’s take it to the ring! IRONMAN TV TITLE TOURNAMENT Thunderbolt Patterson vs Tiger Chung Lee w/ Tojo -A fun contest with these two title contenders. Ross and Watts continue to put over the all the scenarios that could unfold. Inside the ring, you can tell Tiger is going to be better suited in the tag team role, but he leaves a lot of it all right here in the ring. ThudnerBolt has got some great momentum coming in and it continues to come through here. We see Mr. Fuji try to make his way out to the ring. He gets up on one apron while Tojo is on the other. ThunderBolt ducks a clothesline from Tiger that nails Tojo. ThunderBolt runs and nails Fuji with a forearm and knocks him to the floor. Tiger runs and Thunderbolt ducks the line and then turns him around for a modified BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! 1…..2….3!! ThunderBolt Patterson gets 20 points! He is now tied for the lead! He escapes the ring before Fuji and Tiger can get their hands on him. Everything is on the line later on tonight! *COMMERCIAL* -Watts and Ross continue to put over the TV Tournament later on this evening. They turn their attention to the Mid South tag team championship. They discuss the focus on the Samoans and wonder if they will be able to function as a team tonight. The champions are two of the biggest stars in wrestling, but can they work together!?! We cut to the ring! MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Stan Hansen & Andre The Giant © vs The Wild Samoans -This one is a knock down drag out brawl between four of THEE strongest and toughest men in wrestling. A few stories unfold, as the Wild Samoans are just a little bit wilder than normal. They don’t have the guidance of the Wizard outside the ring and appear to be acting on instinct, but it is working. On the other side of the ring, miscommunication is a mild way to put how off Andre the Giant and Stan Hansen are. Watts and Ross put this through the roof, but inside the ring, it is not as pretty of a picture. Andre and Hansen continue to argue and out of nowhere, all hell breaks loose! Hansen attacks Andre and Andre attacks Hansen! PeeWee Anderson doesn’t know what to do as the Samoans back off. Hansen goes for a lariat on the big man but Andre with a huge BOOT to the mush and Hansen goes down. Andre backs off and then the Samoans POUNCE! We see both Afa and Sika with some vicious headbutts and Hansen is busted wide open. A double body slam followed by one splash and then another for the 1…2…3 and WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! The crowd is shocked right now! The fans can’t believe it as Watts and Ross put it over in a big way. Hansen walks over as Ross and Watts are talking and he grabs the microphone… Stan Hansen: WATTS! WATTS! You tell that good for nothing piece of sh*t that he doesn’t know what he’s good for! You tell him I carried him and he will never touch gold again! Texas is my state and Andre the Giant… it isn’t big enough for the two of us! Whenever you want it big man, the bad man from Borger is here and he is going to whip you like the good for nothing piece of trash you are! {Watts and Ross are silent as we cut away to commercial!} *COMMERCIAL* Jim Ross: I cannot believe what we’ve just seen here Bill… the Wild Samoans are three time tag team champions and I wonder what is going to happen with Andre and Hansen. Bill Watts: When you got two guys like Andre and Hansen, it is hard to tell if one man can trust the other… we saw that unfold here tonight. Jim Ross: I am sure we will have more on this on Mid South television this Thursday night. It is now time for the television title finals… Bill Watts: Fans this is an amazing happening. We have watched this tournament unfold over the last month and it comes down to this! Jim Ross: Well Bill, it goes like this… ThunderBolt Patterson just got a pinfall and 20 points. He has a total right now of 25 points and is tied with Mr. Wrestling II who has 25 points. Tiger Chung Lee is out of the running with only 15 points. Going into the final contest, Don Muraco has 10 points and Wrestling II has 25 points. If Westling II wins in any way, he is the new Television Champion. If Wrestling II and Muraco draw, we would have a sudden death contest this week on Mid South Television between ThunderBolt Patterson and Wrestling II with the winner getting the Television Championship. If Don Muraco pins or makes Wrestling II submit, he will win the Television Championship outright. If Don Muraco wins by DQ, we would still go to the draw. If Muraco wins by Count Out, we would have a three-way draw with 25 points, and then well we’d have quite the cluster! Bill Watts: Well Jim, needless to say we’ve got quite the contest coming up. You have to take into account the emotion that Don Muraco has coming into this contest. You have to take into account the blood feud that Wrestling II has had with Muraco. Jim Ross: Not to mention the momentum from the Wild Samoans winning the tag team titles, but I don’t know if Muraco is confirming his allegiance with these guys anymore. Bill Watts: Fans, this is quite possibly one of the most emotionally driven matches in the history of Mid South and with the television championship on the line, anything can and will happen. Jim Ross: Fans, it is time, let’s take it to the ring! Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen, our next contest is the final match up in the Mid South Television Championship Ironman Tournament! Introducing first, from Honolulu, Hawaii, The Magnificent One, Don Muraco! His opponent, from Charleston, South Carolina, Mr. Wrestling II! IRONMAN TV TITLE TOURNAMENT Mr. Wrestling II vs Don Muraco -The finals of the TV title tournament play out full of drama. The crowd is solidly behind Wrestling II who is white hot right now with momentum but Muraco has got something up his sleeve every turn of the tide. Muraco is able to work over the knee and the neck of Wrestling II but the masked superstar has got something special up his sleeve or mask, however you see it. Watts and Ross put this through the roof as Wrestling II looks to finish off the Hawaiian superstar. He goes for the high knee but Muraco ducks and Wrestling II goes flying over the top rope to the floor! Muraco is trying to stop the referee from counting, if it is a count out, it is a 3 way tie! Muraco grabs the referee but all of a sudden someone runs out of the back… who is this guy… IT’S PAUL JONES! He rolls in Wrestling II who is grasping his knee. Muraco hammers but Wrestling II with a roll up 1…2… but Jones pushes Muraco over for the 1…2….3!! MURACO WINS! MURACO FINISHES WITH 30 POINTS AND WINS THE TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP! The crowd can’t believe it! Jones grabs the newly minted Television Championship and gives it to Muraco! The crowd is shocked. Wrestling II is holding his knee and it doesn’t look good. Muraco holds up the title as we see a graphic for the results of the Ironman Tournament! FINAL POINT TOTALS Don Muraco – 30 points – WINNER Mr. Wrestling II – 25 points ThunderBolt Patterson – 25 points Tiger Chung Lee – 15 points {A big time main event with everything on the line here tonight. Before the contest we see Adonis flanked to the ring by Borne and Bravo. The Junkyard Dog then walks out and sees the ring but looks behind him and out comes Wahoo and Mascaras! We have a host of officials come down and they back everyone off. It is going to be one on one for the North American Championship and here we go!} Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen this is the main event of the evening. This contest will be for the Mid South North American Championship. It is scheduled for One Fall with a 60-minute time limit. Introducing first, the challenger, from Buffalo, New York, Adrian Adonis! His opponent, the Mid South North American Champion, from Charlotte, North Carolina, The Junkyard Dog! NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP The Jumkyard Dog © vs Adrian Adonis -A big time contest with the crowd going wild for the Dog here tonight. These two guys go round and round for 15-solid minutes of action. It is a great story of Adonis really working over the Dog’s head and neck. Watts and Ross put it over in a big way and say that the Dog’s reign could go away as quickly as it began! Adonis looks gold in the ring tonight and he’s got the crowd after him as he beats down the beloved Dog. Adonis looks to finish as he goes for the DDT but JYD with a huge backdrop and Adonis goes flying over his back! Adonis comes with some big rights and lefts but the JYD is staving them off and he is coming back with some shots of his own! The crowd is stirring. Adonis is about to counter the Dog and throws him into the corner and runs for a clothesline but JYD with a big boot and Adonis goes down! JYD the grabs his legs and WHIPLASHES HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE BUT HE FLIES AND HITS THE RING POST! Adonis goes down hard and JYD covers for the 1….2….3!! THE JYD RETAINS THE NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP! The crowd is going wild! JYD holds the title in the air as Adonis is shaking out the cobwebs… Watts and Ross thank you for joining us for this great night of action! We will see you for Mid South Wrestling this Thursday night for all the fall out as we begin the Road to the Superdome on November 5th!

Mid South Wrestling is coming to you from the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 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. {Bill Watts is shown in front of a Mid South Wrestling screen} Bill Watts: Ladies and gentlemen, I have to stand here today and share some very shocking and saddening news. We tape our television on Wednesday nights around the Mid South Territory, and then it airs on Thursdays. Last night I had a phone call that the Grand Wizard was not going to make it to the show, as he felt sick. Before this week’s show went to broadcast, I found out that the Grand Wizard of Wrestling, Ernie Roth has passed away due to a heart attack. Ernie Roth was a man I respected and have known for a long time. He was one of the premiere managers in the North East for most of his career. He was flamboyant, intelligent, and most importantly, entertaining. Whether you loved him or hated him, a lot of people bought tickets to see just what the Grand Wizard would do. I am filled with hurt in my heart over this loss for his family, his friends, and his fans. I wish him all the best and his family every prayer imaginable. RIP: The Grand Wizard Ernie Roth 8/30/26 – 10/12/83 {Mid South Wrestling opens this week with video footage from the Mid South Wrestling Live show in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We see footage of the main event as a handicap match was booked with the Junkyard Dog and Andre the Giant taking on Adrian Adonis & The Masked Mercenaries. We see Andre and JYD triumph and then the unmasking of one of the mercenaries to reveal Matt Borne! The crowd is white hot in the arena as there is still one more mercenary under a mask, but who is it? We then cut to the arena where Jim Ross and Bill Watts are standing by but as soon as they begin speaking, out walk Adonis and Borne…} Jim Ross: Now wait just a minute here… we are trying to get the show started… Adrian Adonis: You listen to me Jim Ross… you listen up real good. We are the ones who are going to say when the show starts… now before any of you people out there in TV land get surprised, let me tell you that my name is Adrian Adonis, and there ain’t a man a live that can put me down in that ring. The man next to me is the Maniac Matt Borne. He has fought all over the world and put every single person in his way not only to the mat, but THROUGH the mat! Now you have a clever saying of masked mercenaries, but let me tell you something, the masks may be off but the prize is yet to be gained! Bill Watts: What prize are you talking about? Where’s the third guy? Matt Borne: There is no third man Watts! It was all an ILLUSION! It has been an ILLUSION since day one! Jim Ross: What are you talking about illusion? Adrian Adonis: It goes like this… a simple task was put out. I spoke with Ted Dibiase… he gave me these instructions. He has given me this check for $10,000 dollars. This check is to be delivered to the Junkyard Dog and it is for ONE MORE MATCH! {The crowd is stirring… out walks the JYD!} Adrian Adonis: Now I am not out here to fight Dog… I am out here to just tell you. Dibiase wants ONE MORE MATCH! JYD: What are you talking about? Adrian Adonis: It is simple. On November the 4th, from the Superdome, you sign a one on one contest with Ted Dibiase for that title and this check is yours! {The crowd is really hot right now…} Adrian Adonis: The catch is… if Dibiase wins, he wins that North American Championship! If you beat him, you will never hear from him again, and then you will get another $10,000 check! JYD: So $20,000 to take out that old boy one more time? In front of everyone in New Orleans? Adrian Adonis: All you have to do is sign on the dotted line… JYD: Well I am going to talk to the big man about it… but I want to talk about tonight. I got a little problem the with two of you and I got me a partner tonight… {Out walks Wahoo McDaniel!} JYD: The Chief and I are going to be in that ring tonight and you better join us or we’re coming looking for ya! {The crowd pops in a big way as we’ve got a main event happening tonight one way or another!

Tojo says he has got someone to replace him… MR. FUJI! Fuji walks out and the crowd is shocked. He nimbly steps into the ring for our contest… ThunderBolt Patterson vs Mr. Fuji w/ Tojo & Tiger Chung Lee -A pretty good opening contest in terms of psychology, but the action leaves a lot to be desired. Fuji isn’t in the best shape in the world but that doesn’t mean he can’t do some things well. He really breaks down ThunderBolt as Tojo and Tiger serve as distraction outside the ring. The crowd is just absolutely stirring for something to break loose and Thunderbolt then turns it on. He nails some big time strikes with some rights and lefts and then he goes to the ropes but Tiger Chung Lee NAILS him in the back with the crutch! It was all a show! Tiger jumps into the ring and he and Fuji lay a serious beat-down on ThunderBolt! The crowd can’t believe it as Ross and Watts put it through the roof.

The Fantastics vs Los Conquistadors -Two new wrestlers here as Ross and Watts put them over as masked luchadors from Mexico. They put together a fun contest with the Fantastics at a great pace. It is a glorified squash with both teams getting over but the Fantastics proving they are the superior workers. Watts and Ross say that they could be in line for a tag title shot, but they will have to earn it down the line. In the end we see the Rocket Dropper for the 1…2…3!

Stan Hansen vs Don Muraco -A great semi-main event with some good work done tonight. Muraco and Hansen go into business for themselves a little bit but it is still a fun fight. Hansen has both of the titles by the ring and they appear to be some kind of a draw for the Samoans who make their way down to the ring. They grab the title belts and this leads to Hansen turning his attention to them. Muraco runs with a knee from behind and Hansen goes through the ropes to the floor! Muraco grabs the referee and here we go! The Samoans just destroy Hansen. They are punching and kicking him and then the crowd erupts when Mr. Wrestling II runs down to the ring and he attacks the Samoans! The crowd is going nuts as the referee sees all of this and calls for the bell! Hansen has to work his way back up and he is throwing some huge right hands. The Samoans and Muraco back off. This unit may be fearsome but they are smart… they set the stage but here comes Hansen, as he isn’t finished! Watts and Ross put this through the roof and put over the big main event coming up when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* -Watts and Ross return with Mid South Wrestling putting over the night’s action.

MAIN EVENT The Junkyard Dog & Wahoo McDaniel vs Adrian Adonis & Matt Borne -What a huge main event and the string continues for Mid South as the action is hot and heavy from the outset. Wahoo McDaniel really gets a good ovation as he is an Oklahoma boy and the fans love seeing him. JYD is beloved and he does an awesome job selling for Adonis and Borne who just do their job beating him down in the corner.

He is hammering away and punching at him. Wahoo McDaniel tries to get in the ring but the Mercenary knees him in the skull as he goes to the floor! Inside the ring, Adonis jumps back in and they pick up JYD and hit a DOUBLE SPIKE PILEDRIVER! OMG! JYD IS DOWN! Watts and Ross go nuts on commentary!
