Mid South Wrestling is presented to you from the Irish McNeil Boy’s Club, in Shreveport, Louisiana Bill Watts: Fans welcome to Mid South Wrestling! I am Bill Watts and Jim Ross joins me. Jim, lemme tell ya, it doesn’t get any better than what we have lined up here tonight! Jim Ross: You’ve got that right Bill, fans tonight you will see Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen. You will see the JYD, and yes, in our main event, it is Ted Dibiase taking on Terry Funk! Bill: Nowhere in the world can you catch action like this, but lemme tell ya, it started off right when we got to the arena! Jim: Fans what we are about to show you is some very graphic footage. We want to remind all of you with young fans at home to keep them away from the tv for this next couple of minutes. This footage was taking from earlier today for a special that we have been recording with wrestlers interacting with fans. Mr. Wrestling II has just arrived to the arena and as always; he was wearing his mask when talking to the fans. What happened next was just appalling… Bill: Fans, I was mad last week when I saw Tiger Chung Lee attack Steve O… but this… this makes me IRATE! {We then cut to footage of some of the wrestlers arriving to the arena. The fans go wild when Mr. Wrestling II shows up and he puts his bags down to sign autographs with the fans. There are barricades up so the fans don’t cross over but then out of nowhere a fan reaches out and just CRACKS WRESTLING II! The fans scream and it is DON MURACO! He jumps over the rail and he is hammering down on Wrestling II as we hear a screech and the Grand Wizard is shown driving a car up. Out of the car jump the Wild Samoans! They start kicking and punching away at Wrestling II and Muraco with some piston like right hands! He is ripping at the mask as Wrestling II is holding on. Muraco rips the side of it and then just hammers away busting him wide open! Blood is draining down all over his white mask. You can barely see his face as most of the mask is still there while the rest is covered in blood. We see a car speed in as JYD and ThunderBolt Patterson arrive! They are checking on Wrestling II who is in a bad way… who will be their third tonight?} Bill: Fans… you may wanna keep your kids away for another moment. Now we at Mid South Wrestling… we will have some fun characters for the children but don’t kid yourself if you think that this isn’t a tough sport. We have the toughest men and women in the world here and Wrestling II is one of them. We are told that he has some severe facial lacerations. He needed stitches. He is out of action for tonight’s fight. Well lemme tell you something…we have a little bit of time before that big six-man tag… and if the Junkyard Dog and ThunderBolt Patterson don’t have a partner… I will take off this shirt and step into that ring one more time to show Muraco and them Samoans a lesson! Jim: Well I am sure the fans would love to see it… but lets see how it unfolds. Let’s head to the ring for our opening contest here folks… let’s going to Boyd Pierce. Boyd Pierce: Fans welcome to Mid South Wrestling! Our opening contest is scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit. First, from Albert Lea, Minnestoa… Jerry Brown! His opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada… Sweet Daddy Siki! Sweet Daddy Siki vs Jerry Brown {A pretty simple showcase for Siki here as he has got Burrhead Jones out in the crowd getting the fans going. The crowd is solidly behind Siki as he dances around the ring and works over Brown before finishing him off with an AIRPLANE SPIN for the 1…2…3!! Siki and Burrhead work the fans as Ross and Watts put over Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton the Fantastics!} *COMMERCIAL* Jim: Fans we are back and Bill, we have got some big names here tonight including a tag team in our next contest. Bill: I remember these two men from West Texas State playing football. They are two of the toughest, roughest, and meanest wrestlers in the world. They travel all over the world doing what they do and tonight they are here for a special contest. Jim: Their opponents are two of the dirtiest players in this sport. The German Destroyers have caused havoc all over the Mid South territory and tonight they meet their toughest test. Let’s take it to the ring! Boyd Pierce: Fans our next contest is a special tag team match scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit. Introducing first, out of Berlin, Germany… Kurt von Hess and Baron Von Raschke, the German Destroyers! Their opponents, from Borger, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico, Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody! Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs The German Destroyers {Brody and Hansen storm the ring and HERE WE GO! What a brawl as the Baron and Von Hess can bring the fight with the best of them. The crowd is going wild for Brody and Hansen, as this one breaks loose early. The referee is able to gain some sense of control and this match seems normal for a couple of minutes. The Baron and Von Hess really work well together as they isolate Hansen with some big offense and double-teaming. Brody is itching for the tag as Hansen looks to make it but Von Hess distracts the referee! Brody is going wild as he attempts to get involved but the referee backs him out of the ring as Von Hess comes in and continues where the Baron left off. Brody is pacing back and forth and Hansen looks to try and make another tag and Brody is waiting. WAIT A SECOND! OMG! IT IS ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER! Abby comes out of the entrance way and he nails Brody! He pulls him down and they are brawling. The referee yells for the bell as it is ringing out throughout the arena. Von Hess and the Baron are doubling up Hansen while Brody and Abby are fighting back into the crowd! Security and fans are going wild here as this one has just broken completely loose! Watts and Ross are going nuts putting this through the roof…} *COMMERCIAL* Jim: Fans welcome back and we’ve cleaned up some of the carnage from this brawl between Brody and Abdullah. We have no idea what is going on here with Abdullah the Butcher and where he came from. Bill: Well the other night he fought Brody in place of Ted Dibiase, who had to fight the Junkyard Dog. If you ask me, he’s the one who needs to be questioned. Jim: I don’t doubt that one bit. Ted Dibiase is a powerful man. Perhaps he was the one behind the attack on Mr. Wrestling II earlier today… Bill: I could see that being a real possibility. Well I spoke to the Junkyard Dog during the break… I won’t have to lace up the cowboy boots tonight, but you are going to love to see who is filling in for Wrestling II! Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen, our next contest is a special six-man tag team extravaganza. Introducing first, the Grand Wizard presents, Don Muraco and the Mid South Tag Team Champions, The Wild Samoans! Their opponents…Thunderbolt Patterson, The Junkyard Dog, and… MIL MASCARAS! Junkyard Dog, ThunderBolt Patterson, & Mil Mascaras vs Don Muraco & The Wild Samoans w/ The Grand Wizard {WOAH! Mil Mascaras! Watts and Ross go wild as do the fans! The crowd is solidly behind the babyfaces as they also saw the footage of Mr. Wrestling II getting attacked. This one goes about 10-minutes and the action is fast paced. The Samoans are just monsters in the ring and they decimate Patterson. Mascaras comes in to pick up the pace while the JYD comes in and brings the strength. Muraco gets worked over a little bit but he brings in Afa and Sika and they are able to handle all the heavy lifting. The Grand Wizard does his best to orchestrate the chaos from outside of the ring but sooner than later it breaks loose. We see JYD and Muraco take the fight outside the ring and they are throwing some big bombs near the crowd. The security is holding the fans back as they are trying to get their hands on Muraco at any cost. Inside the ring we see ThunderBolt and Mascaras with a huge double dropkick and Sika goes flying out of the ring. Mascaras then goes up as ThunderBolt and Afa are throwing. ThunderBolt positions himself behind Afa on all fours as Mascaras flies with a high cross body and nails Afa who falls over Patterson! Mascaras covers for the 1….2…3!! The crowd explodes! JYD jumps in the ring as Muraco and the Champions back out. The Wizard holds them back as they are looking for more, but it will have to come at a later date! Watts and Ross put this through the roof! They put over the big Houston show from last night as we cut to break…} Friday 8/19 – Mid South Wrestling Live – Houston, Texas – Sam Houston Coliseum El Bracero defeated Pete Sanchez Sweet Daddy Siki & Burrhead Jones defeated Israel Matia & Raul Castro Steve O defeated Tiger Chung Lee when Tojo accidently hit Lee! The Fantastics defeated The German Destroyers via DQ! El Gran Apollo & Jose Lothario defeated Eddy Mansfield & Buddy Roberts when Apollo pinned Eddy Mansfield Mil Mascaras defeated Don Muraco w/ The Grand Wizard MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Wild Samoans © w/ The Grand Wizard defeated Mr. Wrestling II & Thunderbolt Patterson when the Grand Wizard nailed Patterson with a title belt! SIX-MAN TAG Jim Duggan & The Fabulous Ones defeated Tully Blanchard, David Von Erich & Killer Khan when Hacksaw Duggan pinned Killer Khan! MAIN EVENT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP The Junkard Dog defeated Ted Dibiase © with the THUMP! The call was reversed when another referee came out to let the head referee know about Ted Dibiase hitting his head on the exposed turnbuckle (that Dibiase exposed!). This almost caused a riot as the fans were extremely unhappy with this decision! *COMMERCIAL* Bill: What a night in Houston last night. Paul Boesch is one heck of a promoter and you can see talent from Mid South and San Antonio coming together. Lemme tell you, that David Von Erich has made me just sick to my stomach! Jim: Well he is one of the famous Von Erich boys from Dallas… it is hard to see what he has become aligning himself with Tully Blanchard. Bill: It was also good to see Steve O get back in the ring and he will be here next week and I am guessing that Tiger Chung Lee is going to be here as well! Jim: I know that is going to be special, plus we will see ThunderBolt Patterson and Mr. Wrestling II tag team action, along with footage of the Fantastics! Bill: Lemme tell you… Mid South is heating up and it is about to get a little bit more explosive. Fans our next contest is going to be a barn burner… let’s go to the ring! Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the main event of the evening! This is a one fall contest with a 30-minute time limit. Introducing first, fighting out of the Double Cross Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. He is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion… TERRY FUNK! His opponent… he hails from Omaha, Nebraska. He is the reigning Mid South North American Heavyweight Champion… TED DIBIASE! MAIN EVENT Terry Funk vs Ted Dibiase {The biggest match in recent Mid South history. Funk is a wild and crazy guy and he brings a great fight here tonight with Dibiase. Ross and Watts put over how we have only got around 15-minutes of television time remaining and these guys are pushing the limits. We see Funk wrestle Dibiase’s match and then Dibiase fight Funk’s fight. The crowd is going just wild. Both men are attempting to work over the knee and ankle of the other and Dibiase even goes low when the referee turns his back. He then locks in the figure-four and Funk is screaming in pain! He is inching his way to the ropes and television time is closing down! Funk then inches around and flips the Figure-Four! The crowd is going nuts as it is now Dibiase who is screaming in pain! He breaks loose. Dibiase is limping around, as is Funk… Dibiase goes for a clothesline but Funk ducks and then a single leg takedown! He grabs his foot and SPINNING TOE HOLD ONCE. He goes for it again but Dibiase pulls him down for the 1…2….KICK OUT! Both men attempt to get back up but Funk with a big right hand! He grabs the foot again! He is going for a SPINNING TOE HOLD!} Jim: FANS WE HAVE GOT TO GO! WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW THIS ONE FINISHES NEXT WEEK! {The action continues as the screen fades out! Is Dibiase going to give it up!?!?}

I really appreciate the feedback and want to give some insight into how the show was booked. If you look at the winners, this was a babyface dominated show outside of the tag team title match which had a screwy finish. I gave the fans in Houston a fun loving show but then the main event left them wanting so much more to be desired. I think it is a testament for them to begin to believe in all the babyfaces below the Dog... they can then buy into these characters for the future. With the JYD I can mess with their emotions and get them enraged when the right man, the just man, has the victory and the title all be it, but it is then taken from him unjustly.

Absolutely not. But subtle cheerleading for me to drop out would go a long way to keeping me in this, so I approve of more posts in this nature. I am just checking. If I were cheer leading you'd know it. We have deals in place and I, like the others, want to make sure my ducks are in a row, especially since I start teaching this week so my workload will get busier. As much as it would be great to have talent dropped in my lap, I want to make sure things are in place. Sorry for checking in.

So did Goc officially resign? I just need to know so I can start putting some things in place...

This has truly sucked. LOL. I hate the women. I can't book five straight battle royals either, so have been forced to book a lumberjack match. I dig the creativity. Any chance you'd be willing to send Dory Jr. up for a spot on 8/25? You'd get Ted Dibiase in his place. Did we have something in the books for Ted on 8/25? Just wanted to keep my booking sheet updated.

Wednesday 8/17 – Mid South Wrestling Television Taping – Shreveport, Louisiana – Irish McNeil Boys Club Join Mid South Wrestling this Saturday for the hottest wrestling action in the country! TAG TEAM SHOWDOWN Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs The German Destroyers! SIX-MAN EXTRAVEGANZA The Junkyard Dog, Mr. Wrestling II, and ThunderBolt Patterson vs Don Muraco & The Wild Samoans w/ the Grand Wizard MAIN EVENT Terry Funk vs Ted Dibiase

The AWA continues to get stronger. Coincidentally, I am from the Rockford area and my family would attend shows there and would have likely been at this one. I think they would have been pleased with what they saw. You have one of the strongest rosters in the game right now and the dynamic duo of the AWA continues to put out some very good stuff. I currently have you number 3 in the power rankings.

I like the dynamic you have here with some of your big names. Lawler, Idol, the RnR, Landell, and Ernie Ladd are some great hands. The chaos of Memphis is something that separates you from the others. I know I try to instill some of it in Mid South, but you are setting the standard.

Like others have stated... star studded shows with some really big names and interesting stories. I am hopeful to see where the Flair stuff goes and the hopeful six-man tag war down the line. I currently have you 1st in the power rankings due to quality and consistency. Keep doin work!

GCW continues to put forth a good effort. I am very excited to see the continual rise of both Butch Reed and Jake Roberts. I have no doubt they will be the biggest stars to come out of GCW when all is said and done. I like what you've done with Koko as well. You have made him legitimate and a contender. I currently have you 2nd in the power rankings due to the sheer power of your roster and the layout of your shows. Keep up the good work.

Some humongous cards with some great lineups out of the WWF. So many gems hidden in there and for the time, they would be quite the entertainment. I also like the style in which you do the shows, especially the quotations. You are also establishing one of my favorite characters right now with Bobby Heenan. He has got some control and a maniacal view on his power which is always entertaining. I currently have you 4th in my power rankings due to the detail and superb shows you are putting out. The way you use the outsiders is great and I hope that those relationships don't turn hazardous if you try to go national.

Mid South Wrestling is presented to you from the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Bill Watts: Fans welcome to Mid South Wrestling. Bill Watts here with Jim Ross. Jim, we have got a great night of wrestling action here tonight and lemme tell ya, I am interested to see what happens! Jim Ross: Well Bill, tonight we have got the hottest young tag team in wrestling lined up for action, not to mention the man with the power of the people running through his veins, ThunderBolt Patterson! Bill: I look at this guy and I see so much potential and so much will power to just be the best. He is a guy like the Junkyard Dog, Mr. Wrestling II, some of the big names here in Mid South and he is right there on the brink. Jim: Well he has got a tough contest coming up here tonight. Plus the JYD is here and we are told that Ted Dibiase may be here as well. Bill: You might as well katy bar the door with all this action. It is time to head to the ring! Let’s go to Boyd Pierce… Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mid South Wrestling. Our opening contest is a one fall tag team match with a 20-minute time limit. In the corner to my left, from Orlando Florida, Mike and Robert Reed! Their opponents, from Berlin Germany, Kurt Von Hess and Baron Von Raschke! Mike & Robert Reed vs Kurt Von Hess & Baron Von Raschke {A nice little opener with two of the most dangerous men in wrestling. The Reed brothers fair a little bit better this week and put together some decent teamwork. They are able to get some offense on Hess but not very much. The Baron comes in and he locks in a nasty claw, which turns the tide. Von Hess is able to attack Robert when the referee isn’t looking leading to the Baron getting a nasty grip right on his forehead which takes him down for the 1…2…3!! The Germans are walking around the ring and get some real heat from the crowd. We cut to some footage from the Grand Wizard’s stable of the Wild Samoans and Don Muraco before commercial.} *COMMERCIAL* {Mid South Wrestling returns as Jim Ross and Bill Watts are joined by none other than Tiger Chung Lee and Tojo Yamamoto!} Bill: Now what in the world are you two doing out here? Tojo: Listen to me Mr. Watts… I have just returned from Japan with my Tiger Chung Lee where we conquered every single man in our way! I am here to announce that Tiger Chung Lee will do the same thing here in Mid South and he will take any man, any time, anywhere! Bill: Well this isn’t Japan… this is the USA pal! We have got some real double tough men here who will take that challenge in a heartbeat! Tojo: HA! I would like to see them try! Go to the ring and wait for them… {Tiger Chung Lee gets into the ring and he just stands and waits… the crowd then stirs as out of the back STEVE O is shown. He walks out and shakes some hands before he steps into the ring… for an impromptu contest!} Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen our next contest is a one-fall match with a 20-minute time limit. In the corner to my left, from Tokyo, Japan, Tiger Chung Lee! His opponent, from Edina, Minnesota…. Steve O vs Tiger Chung Lee w/ Tojo Yamamoto {Tiger jumps right over on Steve O and the bell rings. This is a nasty beatdown by Tiger as Steve O isn’t able to get too much in. Watts and Ross put him over as an unstoppable monster. He is hammering away but the fans chant USA, USA, USA and here comes Steve O as he is fighting back! Rights and lefts and the crowd is going wild. He goes for a big cross body but Tiger catches him and SLAMS him to the ground! He picks up Steve O and DOUBLE OVERHOOK SUPLEX! He walks over and just shoves his three fingers right into the throat of Steve O who kicks and kicks but slowly fades out! Pewee Anderson is calling for the bell but Tiger isn’t letting go! The crowd is booing up a storm as we get another official out to try and pull him off! Watts is going nuts on commentary he is has to be restrained before Tojo pulls Chung Lee off! Watts and Ross are irate as they put over Steve O’s passion. We cut to special footage from last week’s big Battle Royal with Andre the Giant winning…} *COMMERCIAL* Jim: Fans we are back and Bill Watts is in the back right now with Steve O. He is in rough condition right now. We will have an update when we can. Mr. Wrestling II joins me right now. Sir you are one of the most prominent wrestlers here in the Mid South area. Wrestling II: Well lemme tell you something right now Jim Ross. I have been in Mid South for quite some time. Over the past couple of weeks I have made it my goal to get my hands on some gold. I looked at the Wild Samoans and I knew that the tag titles were something I would love to get my hands on. By hook or by crook, they slithered away each time, but lemme tell ya, I am going to get my hands on that gold brother! Jim: Well I know how tough you are. I was also told that you were in the running for the very special IronMan tournament to crown the new Mid South Television champion. Wrestling II: Jim Ross, the TV title is one of the most competitive titles in wrestling. You look at Ted Dibiase and that North American Title… he defends it maybe 3-4 times a month, against the top competitors in the area. That television title means you are defending it week in and week out right here in front of these fans and that’s something I would love the privilege to do! Jim: Well I know you have aspirations and without a doubt you will meet them. Fans we now want to show you footage from a live show this past week in Baton Rouge at the River City Arena. These two young men share the same hopes and dreams as Mr. Wrestling II… fans they are the Fantastics and they are in action! {We then cut to a pre-taped contest} Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen our next contest is a one-fall tag team match with a 20-minute time limit. In the corner to my left, from Parts Unknown, Mad Dog Boyd! His partner, from San Juan Puerto Rico, Raul Castro! Their opponents, from Los Angeles, California, Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton, THE FANTASTICS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wRHBLwpASw The Fantastics vs Mad Dog Boyd & Raul Castro {A great showcase for Rogers and Fulton here tonight. Castro and Boyd are great opponents as they really work over these young babyfaces. They are breaking every rule in the book and trying to cripple the two men. The tide turns though as Rogers and Fulton get some steam and before too long we see a pair of double dropkicks and then a ROCKET LAUNCHER sending Rogers on Boyd for the 1…2…3!! The Fantastics with a huge win here tonight as the crowd is going wild! Rogers and Fulton go out and shake hands and kiss babies. We return to the arena where Ross says they will have an update on Steve O when they return. We cut to commercial with footage from a recent live show in Houston…} Friday 8/5 Mid South Wrestling Live - Houston, Texas - Sam Houston Coliseum El Gran Apollo defeated Eddy Mansfield with a Top Rope Cross Body!

MAIN EVENT – Special referee Ted Dibiase The Junkyard Dog defeated Don Muraco when he knocked out Dibiase and then used his hand to count three! *COMMERCIAL* Bill: Fans welcome back. Lemme tell you something, sometime in this sport there are injuries, there are bumps and bruises and sometimes there are injuries. Tonight, Steve O was victim of a brutal attack by Tiger Chung Lee. The kind of attack that makes your blood boil and the hair on the back of your neck stick up. Steve O may have a crushed larynx. He could be sidelined for months, and we are hoping and praying for a speedy recovery. Jim: Well Bill, you know especially what these guys go through on a nightly basis, is this one of the worst injuries you’ve seen? Bill: The throat is so important; it helps a man breath. When the throat is crushed, so much can go wrong with the body. Tiger Chung Lee may be very well fined and suspended for his actions. Jim: Well he isn’t making friends here for sure. Bill: Perhaps we will see how it unfolds at a later date, right now; we’ve got some big time action with a big time star, ThunderBolt Patterson! Boyd Pierce: Ladies and this is the main event of the evening! Introducing first, from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, he is a former tag team champion of the world, Don Kent! His opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia… ThudnerBolt Patterson! MAIN EVENT ThunderBolt Patterson vs Don Kent {Two good hands here in the main event as ThunderBolt is really on a streak. Don Kent is a formidable opponent who has done things all over the world. Watts and Ross put him over as he gets some nice offense in on Patterson who has got the crowd solidly behind him. The crowd starts to stir and ThunderBolt has got something going through his veins as he nails some big strikes and a huge standing dropkick sending Kent into the turnbuckle. Kent runs out and Patterson ducks… Kent turns around and ThunderBolt with three left jabs and then he hits the ropes and comes down with a huge THUNDERBOLT CHOP! Kent is wobbly, and then ThunderBolt grabs him for a SPINEBUSTER! 1…2….3! ThunderBolt with a huge victory! He works the crowd but they begin to stir when Don Muraco and the Wild Samoans walk out to the ring… ThunderBolt puts his hands up, as Muraco seems to get his men to circle the ring. The crowd then explodes when Wrestling II and the JYD run down to the ring! Business is indeed picking up here. Wait a second… OUT OF THE CROWD… THAT’S TED DIBIASE! He nails JYD with the NA TITLE! The Samoans pounce and attack Wrestling II! Here comes ThunderBolt and Muraco! We have got a 4 on 3 brawl right now and the crowd is going wild! The Grand Wizard is outside the ring calling all the shots! Dibiase and company get the upperhand. They leave the ring with JYD trying to help out II and ThunderBolt… Dibiase says he is going to finish the three of them off next week when Muraco and the Samoans face them in a six-man!} Bill Watts: Wait just a second Dibiase! Now I tell you what, what I’ve seen here tonight could make me sick as a dog! First it was Steve O, now this… lemme tell you something. Next week, right here on Mid South Wrestling, we are going to see that big six-man match… but YOU Dibiase… I know you got a busy week… but next week… it is going to be you… AGAINST TERRY FUNK! {The crowd goes wild as Dibiase is going nuts! Muraco and company try to calm him down but nothing doing! Watts and Ross close out the show with a look at Mid South Wrestling on tour this week!} Saturday 8/13 Mid South Wrestling Live – Alexandria, Louisiana – Rapides Parish Coliseum The Junkyard Dog vs Ted Dibiase- SPECIAL REFEREE – Don Muraco Sunday 8/14 Mid South Wrestling Live – Lafayette, Louisiana – Canjundome Mil Mascaras & ThunderBolt Patterson vs The Wild Samoans w/ The Grand Wizard!

MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Wild Samoans defeated Sweet Daddy Siki & Burrhead Jones The Junkyard Dog defeated Don Muraco NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP Ted Dibiase © defeated ThunderBolt Patterson MAIN EVENT BATTLE ROYAL The Junkyard Dog won a Bunkhouse Battle Royal! Other participants included Ted Dibiase, Don Muraco, The Wild Samoans, Mr. Wrestling II, & ThunderBolt Patterson!

It would be more of a matter of time and travel. Houston to Tokyo is a 14 hour flight today. How would the time lapse be if an individual were to leave Houston on a Friday night, what time would they be in Tokyo on Saturday?

Mid South would like to request the champion on 12/9 for a live show from Houston and 12/28 for a television taping.

Eclectic is the right word. It has been a fun month as I have everything booked through to the end. September will have a couple of different faces and then October will be quite interesting with some Japanese tours thrown into the mix. Expect Mid South to keep pushing forward. I know one thing I would like to possibly explore is airing television Wednesday nights... I don't like waiting as it messes up the booking schedule for Thursday and Friday when I do.

Plus a huge MAIN EVENT with ThunderBolt Patterson taking on Don Kent! The Junkyard Dog , Mr. Wrestling II, The Wild Samoa ns, and Ted Dibiase will also be on the show!

Talk to JVK I think I'm OK with it because it is true to life, but on the other hand, what's the point of being part of the NWA if you can book the champion without membership? If there is a question, please take it to the board guys and vote. I'd definitely see Flair coming in for some big shows as he did back then.

Is it going to be kosher for Mid South to book the champion (presumably Flair) during his run as they did around this time without me being part of the NWA?
