Good stuff here with the change of guard. Good job getting the graphics on here as it adds a nice piece to the story you are trying to tell. I have never been big on Leapin Lanny, however he will get his due in time. You've got some good talent waiting in the wings and when the flood gates open, ICW is going to be a major force. Keep doin work!

Exactly.

I think this was already agreed upon, outside of the idea that if you are at the cap, in order to pick someone up, you'd have to drop someone. Wouldn't that be true?

I like the lay out here. I really like the graphic for the tournament and I have my pick to win it all so we'll see how it plays out. Definitely a different style from others, especially with the records, so that will be fun to keep any eye on over the course of your tenure. Good stuff man.

Sorry to hear that. I have a planned "break" from December 18 through the 31st to run some highlight shows but be off the road to build to the new year. Keep doing work.

I have been using these guys as lower card/jobber guys. I am looking to refresh the group. If you have a similar number of guys you'd like to move or even do some jobber trades from these guys, let me know. I don't need any value just a freshening up of the lower/job guys... Don Kent Burrhead Jones Jerry Brown Pete Sanchez Mark Savage Mad Dog Boyd Mike & Robert Reed

A different show than I tuned in to a couple of weeks ago and perhaps for the better with what you have already built up Southeastern to be. I like the idea of a Steel Cage match to keep people in and then turn around to have a bloody all out brawl but I would probably side with Rain on the idea that the cage is a main event gimmick and could have really sold the Fuller/Sawyer match more happening after it. You would have to utilize how the announcers would put over if a cage could even hold these two guys when watching the action of the tag team match unfold. On the flip side, you need to put over your major singles title, which you did in the main event, so it is all by choice. Running the two shows isn't taking too much away from you and with Marty Jannetty getting the build from the B Show, we can only wait to see if he will find a partner or find a niche to be successful on the A show.

One thing I give you props for is the way you are juggling all of the titles around here. Things are kind of crazy when you look at it on paper, but you've got a good handle on things. I am interested to see who really rises up through that stable of heels with Larry, Bock, Dory, Harley, and Bob Orton all in the way, not to mention King Kong Bundy waiting around for leftovers. Another thing to note is the use of JJ and Heena, the two premiere managers at this time. It would be interesting to see them int he same scene but I think with the right work, that they can co-exist.

You and I have discussed the inclusion of the JYD to Memphis and it has gone off without a hitch. He is a perfect fit to build up the identity of a promotion and give you that extra boost to get things kickstarted in the early days of your Memphis run. Add in the likes of Butch Reed and you have sprinkles on an already tasty treat that I personally like checking out week in and week out. Jerry Lawler is still the King... but I think there are a lot more knights moving up around the throne and the battle for Memphis is going to be one that very few will be able to handle. Keep things consistent and without a doubt, you will continue to shine around here.

Mid South Wrestling Television Taping- New Orleans - Louisiana -Lakefront Arena 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 opens up this week with footage of Blackjack Lanza’s injury last week. We see the big match unfold with Dino Bravo pinning Wahoo McDaniel. We cut to the arena with Bill Watts and Jim Ross standing by…} Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to Mid South Wrestling! I am Jim Ross alongside Cowboy Bill Watts and Bill… we are about 9 days away from one of the biggest Superdome shows of all time. Bill Watts: Lemme tell you something right now, this is one of the biggest shows I have ever seen. We have got stars coming in from all over the country and even the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race. Jim Ross: It is always an amazing event to have Harley Race come to Mid South. Bill Watts: Mid South Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance have had a long-standing relationship. Some of the top wrestlers in the world have come in for matches in Mid South and with Harley Race coming in, he is going to be up against one of the toughest competitors in the Masked Superstar! Jim Ross: That along with the return of Ted Dibiase to Mid South in his win or go home match against the Junkyard Dog for the North American Championship. Bill Watts: Remember that if the Junkyard Dog wins, he gets another $10,000! Jim Ross: A lot on the line for the Junkyard Dog… Bill I am going to leave it to you to make the announcement for this next big match… Bill Watts: Perhaps the biggest match in the history of Mid South and I mean BIG! At the Superdome, we will see Stan Hansen taking on Andre the Giant! Jim Ross: With those three main events, you gotta know that Mid South Wrestling in the place to be. Wait just a moment… welcome in JYD, Wahoo McDaniel, and Blackjack Lanza (On crutches)! JYD: Thanks a lot Jimbo… lemme tell you something, the Superdome can’t come soon enough… Ted Dibiase better know that the Dog is coming to take a bite out of crime and I’m hungry! Jim Ross: Blackjack Lanza, we all want to know your status? Lanza: Well Jim, they said I tore everything in my knee. Adonis, Borne, and Bravo… they are the ones to blame for this! Bill Watts: Tonight you were supposed to be in a six-man tonight… Lanza: There is still going to be a six-man… now I may not be in the match… but this is my replacement… {OH MY! BLACKJACK MULLIGAN IS HERE! He comes over and shakes everyone’s hands…} Wahoo: That’s right Ross… you tell Borne, Bravo, and Adonis, we are coming tonight and we are coming for some serious blood! Mulligan: That’s right boys… tonight there is going to be some blood spilt and it won’t be ours… we are coming boys… no amount of money is going to save you! -Watts and Ross put this through the roof and then put over the big one night tournament. They cut to the ring for the first contest… ThunderBolt Patterson & S.D. Jones vs Mr. Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee w/ Tojo -A great little contest that just does a piece of what these guys are dealing with. This isn’t the fastest paced contest but we do see some good action. SD and ThunderBolt have got some great teamwork going and Fuji and Chung Lee are no slouches. This one breaks loose towards the end and SD with a big dropkick on Chung Lee sending him out of the ring to the floor. Thunderbolt tosses Fuji to the ropes and catches him for a SPINEBUSTER! 1…2….3!! The fans pop as ThunderBolt and SD are moving on. Could they make a run at the tag titles at the Superdome? Will they face the Fantastics or the German Destroyers later tonight? *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Ross and Watts putting over the one night tournament and the big Showdown at the Superdome! Watts and Ross then put over the Midnight Express coming in. They talk up Rose and Condry and say that it could only be a matter of time before they come in to challenge for the tag team titles. We cut to the ring for action… Mike & Robert Rogers vs The Midnight Express -A lot of hype around Rose and Condry tonight and for just cause. These two come in and get some nice heat from the crowd. It amps up when Muraco and Paul Jones come out. Jones speaks with Condry and Rose and shakes their hands. Mike and Robert fall apart in front of our eyes as Rose and Condry finish things off with a nice spike piledriver for the 1…2…3! This crew walks over and joins Ross and Watts who aren’t happy… Bill Watts: What in the world is going on here? Paul Jones: Bill Watts… you have sat on your throne for long enough. You stand here and just talk down to all those who you feel are inferior, but in front of you is a group of men who are SUPERIOR to you and every single other competitor in Mid South Wrestling. Since I have arrived in Mid South, I have put together a group of deals and one of those deals included bringing in Randy Rose and Dennis Condry. The Midnight Express is one of the premiere tag teams in all of wrestling and it infuriates me that they were not added into the tournament tonight! Bill Watts: These guys are here for one night… Randy Rose: Watch it Ross… it may be one night, but it is going to be a night you will never forget! Dennis Condry: Yeah… we’ve got an issue with some of these guys… you got ThunderBolt Patterson and SD Jones… you got the Junkyard Dog and Wahoo McDaniel… and then you got the Fantastics! Randy Rose: We don’t see anyone who can stand close to us in or out of that ring! {The crowd then pops as Fulton and Rogers are coming down to the ring. They walk over as the group looks at them. Muraco is speaking up a big game as Rogers and Fulton turn their backs and head to the ring but then out of nowhere Rose clips Rogers’ knee! Muraco and Condry throw Fulton into the ring post! The crowd is going nuts right now as the German Destroyers walk down to the ring. We cut to commercial with pure chaos ensuing!} *COMMERCIAL* {We return to Mid South Wrestling and it is pure chaos outside the ring. Tommy Rogers is holding his knee while officials are pushing the Midnight’s to the back! The Germans are in the ring waiting while Fulton is holding his shoulder and trying to help his partner. Watts is going nuts on the Midnights while Ross is trying to make light of what is going on. Fulton is wondering what to do as he steps into the ring and the Destroyers attack him! The bell rings but this isn’t going anywhere! Von Hess and The Baron are wearing him down and then throw him out of the ring and he lands on his shoulder! Now Watts is over there checking on both Fulton and Rogers… the referee has no choice but to count to 10 and the Germans have won this one without a fight! They will be facing Patterson and Jones! We cut to a big segment of promos for the Showdown from the Superdome on November the 5th! Stan Hansen: ANDRE THE GIANT! I knew you were stupid but I didn’t think you were stupid enough to sign on the dotted line for the Superdome! They are calling this match the battle of the GIANTS… well you crossed the wrong man Andre. I am going to beat you like the yellow dog that you are. The world is going to watch me put you down and Giant… there’s now way you will get back up! Andre the Giant: Stan Hansen has a lot to say about facing me. I don’t have much to say about facing him. Hansen… you will find out why I am the Giant and cannot be beat! Don Muraco: You see this title right here… this is the Mid South Television Championship. I beat everyone in my path to get this title and there is NO controversy in my mind. Wrestling II wants to cry and complain about going over the top rope… well pal… you simply couldn’t get it done. You couldn’t get it done in Houston and you won’t be able to get it done in the Superdome… I have been on FIRE since getting this title and you don’t have what it takes to put me out or put me down! Mr. Wrestling II: What happened to me in Houston on October the 15th was something I have to live with every single day. I know I had a chance to take the television championship. To go down in history as the inaugural champion, but now I have to settle for being the second champion in history. I think I can stomach that… but it will be a hard pill for you to swallow Muraco. The pill of defeat… it is coming whether you like it or not! Masked Superstar: Harley Race has been ducking me for months! That NWA World Heavyweight Championship means too much to me to have a good for nothing coward like Harley Race holding it. Now Race… I will admit, in the past, your ability to defend that title was world class… but now… you have run and you have hid. There is no more of that. The Superdome is one of the biggest arenas in the world and more people are going to see me crowned NWA champion that anyone in history! Harley Race: As the NWA Champion, I have a target on my back 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! There is no one who has held this title more than I have and there is no one with whom it has meant more too. This title is the symbol of everything that is important in this sport. You look around at people who call themselves world champions, but it is paper… this is GOLD! In the Superdome, over 20,000 people will be in the arena to see this event unfold. They will see blood, they will see guts, and they will see gold! Masked Superstar, I have run from no man. I have hid from no man. I am afraid of NO MAN! You will find out why I have held this title more than anyone and why I have defeated everyone in my path. I am the NWA Champion… plain and simple. *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with footage from the previous segment and the attack on the Fantastics from the Midnight Express. Bill Watt says that there may have been an injury to Tommy Rogers. They said Fulton was hurt as well. The Midnights were escorted out of the arena with Jones and Muraco. They put over the tag team tournament and say it is time for the finals. Who is going to go on and face the Samoans? Let’s find out! NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH S.D. Jones & ThunderBolt Patterson vs The German Destroyers -ThunderBolt and SD are coming out for their second time tonight and the crowd is solidly behind them. The Germans are fresh and take advantage early on in the contest. This one only goes for about 9-minutes, but the Germans look great. They are really getting after SD Jones and he is selling like there’s no tomorrow. When he makes the tag to ThunderBolt the arena moves. The fans are going absolutely wild as ThunderBolt comes in with some HUGE rights and lefts and the Germans are reeling! The Germans do try and double team but SD comes and nails the Baron, taking him out. Von Hess then tosses ThunderBolt to the ropes and Patterson ducks a clothesline and waits for Von Hess and SPINEBUSTER! 1…2….3!! SD AND PATTERSON ARE GOING TO THE SUPERDOME! SD and Patterson celebrate as Ross and Watts put this over. They say that the Samoans are going to be here next week! *COMMERCIAL* -Mid South Wrestling returns with Watts and Ross putting over all the night’s action in a big way. They discuss the tag title contest and says the Samoans will be here next week. They say that next week, we will also hear from Ted Dibiase about his match with the Junkyard Dog at the Superdome! Watts discussed possibly having more big matches signed for the Superdome. They put over the NWA Championship match and say that Masked Superstar will be in action next week. They finally put over the main event contest. They put over Mulligan coming in for Lanza and how officials are prepared for this one to ensue… MAIN EVENT The Junkyard Dog, Wahoo McDaniel, & Blackjack Mulligan w/ Blackjack Lanza vs Adrian Adonis, Matt Borne, & Dino Bravo -You better know that there is some HEAT with this contest. The crowd is stirring from the outset and we see some great action for 12 or so minutes. We have limited television time remaining and Watts and Ross are putting this through the roof. We see a lot of Borne and Bravo taking on JYD and Wahoo. Adonis comes in and tries to be the one to close the door but nothing doing. We see Wahoo get double and triple teamed. Then the moment happens when he makes the huge tag to Blackjack Mulligan and the fans explode! Mulligan comes in and swings at Borne and Bravo who both duck the punches and then he turns to Adonis who goes down to his knees. Mulligan makes the sign for the claw and then he clinches his fist and he NAILS THE JUNKYARD DOG! Dog goes off the apron. Wahoo is looking on with confusion and then Lanza NAILS him in the back with his crutch and he falls into the ring! What in the hell is going on here?!? Lanza and Mullgian tie up Wahoo in the ropes and then we see Borne, Bravo, and Adonis stomping and kicking away at the JYD on the other side of the ring! Lanza grabs that crutch and he just DESTROYS it over Wahoo’s head! Officials and agents come down and then Borne and Bravo go NUTS! Borne and Bravo are punching officials! Adonis even looks shocked by this happening. Inside the ring the Blackjacks have left Wahoo a bloody mess. We see more security coming in as Mid South closes out with complete chaos… MID SOUTH WRESTLING -PRESENTS- SHOWDOWN AT THE SUPERDOME Live on Saturday November 5th!

As long as the guys were active in 1983-84, it should be okay. In regards to the Canada show, with your movement to Detroit, it would be safe to assume it is off... but I am sure someone else could pick it up if needed.

RIP: The Grand Wizard Ernie Roth 8/30/26 – 10/12/83

I was just thinking that this could be a good spot to post for those who have passed away in our game world. Maybe do just keep up on active and non active wrestlers and see where somebody is in case they didn't know if they had passed away. I believe right now, MidSouth is the only one who has lost somebody being the Grand Wizard. We could use this post to write up small obits or highlights from what that person has done since being introduced into the game possibly. We can then try and keep an updated list of individuals who have passed away on this thread. Does this work? The Grand Wizard Ernie Roth - 8/30/26 – 10/12/83 Vince McMahon Sr. - 7/6/1914 – 5/24/1984

So is it safe to say that this is a go? Dexter can start operations as of today?

I am going to go ahead and request Mascaras on November 2, 3, 4, and 5th to lead into the Showdown at the Superdome for whomever is taking over the booking for this month.

Sounds good man, just checking.

Just an odd question from this, are you going to continue with your Mascaras dates on 10/30 - Southwest & 10/31 - Southwest still then? Also, I posted on the November post, and if the new guy takes IWF, he would take over November's freelance booking. Are we going with this as we approach the new month?

I think we give it a go. If someone wants to come in and run a promotion, it is beneficial for that person to run it the way that they want. Now moving to Michigan will be interesting and still leaves that big gap in the North East, but I think we can decipher that issue at another point in time due to us having a huge gap on the West Coast as well.

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.
