I think that my meaning got lost in translation over the border. I simply meant that Ventura's ring days were coming to an end which still means he has a big spot in your promotion just not as a main event level wrestler day in and day out. Not that he's going anywhere but more that he's changing what he does.

These main event contests with Funk and Bret would be interesting to see back in 83. It is good to see the top of the card put together while the lower card is shaping up. Good things to come from Canada all around.

I went through and read some of these shows and didn't recognize a single person outside of Lafon and Brunzell. It is like I said about Japan, this is a great learning experience and an opportunity to let me learn some new people and how they fit into a promotion back during this time period.

You and your love for the minis. I just never found value in them. Not to take away that they didn't have talent, just not what I was looking for. I do like the swan song of Jesse Ventura. It is interesting the way he's been booked and how you've said where he'd end up. Giving Martel the rub is only going to help the champ and push him a little further up in the eyes of the crowd. Oh, and it is nice to see Tricky Dick getting some time in Canada... well deserved.

I concur with the same sentiments as I stated with Georgia, you have got a pretty loaded boat right now with these stars coming in. I am looking forward to the unification bout - Race has been moving around a lot and to see the full-fledged joining of two titles will be something to behold.

I am pretty sure I've gone on record, but this is the roster I am most envious of. You have got some serious talent from top to bottom here and you put out some good stuff. I don't know all the details of how close Georgia and Mid South worked in the hey-day, but I would love to work with you with some of our top talents. I think you and I share the same feelings for Butch Reed's potential. You have also done a great job of building up Jake Roberts who is going to be a player for a long time to come.

This is a promotion that I know little about and you have got some workers that I am unfamiliar with. The simple results are fulfilling enough, only feedback I'd give is to not number them.

A pretty good writing style here. You have definitely got a feel for each of the characters. Sometimes with these kind of projects, you simply write the same kind of text for everyone but these feel more genuine. Good stuff.

Haven't missed a step. I will always be proud of helping you get MACW off the ground. Definitely a top 3 promotion running right now in this project.

Mid South Wrestling is presented to you from the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana. Cowboy Bill Watts is standing by… Bill Watts: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mid South Wrestling! I am Cowboy Bill Watts here and I am looking forward to an amazing night of true wrestling action. Here in the Mid South area, we have got the toughest of the tough and you will see them all here tonight. We have got a huge main event this evening, a special 15-man battle royal featuring Andre the Giant! Plus we will see tag team action with Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen. The Junkyard Dog is here and you know that he will light up the crowd, plus, we have some of the best women wrestlers coming at you right now. I am going to be joined by Jim Ross… Boyd Pierce is in the ring! Boyd Pierce: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mid South Wrestling. Our first contest is scheduled for one fall and a 20-minute time limit. In the corner to my right…from Dallas Texas… Wendi Richter! Her opponent, she is the reigning NWA Women’s Champion, from Kershaw County, South Carolina… The Great Moolah! Wendi Richter vs The Fabulous Moolah {Ross and Watts put over women wrestlers and talk about how tough they are in and out of the ring. We see some decent work between these two, with Moolah controlling the match from the outset. Wendi gets a glimmer of hope with some nice shots and even a big belly to belly suplex but Moolah’s foot was on the rope. Moolah works her way back and then out of nowhere a nasty headbutt and Richter’s nose is busted and Moolah with a BACKBREAKER for the 1…2…3!! The fans aren’t too happy with her actions as Moolah holds the title high in the air. She is without a doubt the queen of the ring! Watts and Ross put over the action and hen we see a special highlight video of ThunderBolt Patterson as we cut to commercial!} *COMMERCIAL* Bill Watts: Fans we are back. Jim, here in Mid South we have got some of the best tag team wrestling in the world. One of the hottest young tag teams right now is the team of Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers…they are known as the Fantastics! Jim Ross: Fantastic is exactly what they are. These two young men have got so much promise and potential, the sky will be the limit for them. Bill: Well right now, the tag team champions are the Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika… it is going to take something special to take the titles from these guys. Jim: Without a doubt. They are two men who go by their own rules and they are under the control of the man known as the Grand Wizard! Bill: The Wizard is one of those guys who only has bad intentions. He has the contracts of the Samoans and of course… Don Muraco. Right now, we’ve got two men who know something about tag team wrestling… they are some of the most destructive and dangerous men in wrestling… Jim: Those words are only some to describe Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen! BP: Ladies and gentlemen our next match is a tag team contest. In the corner to my left, from Orlando Florida, Mike and Robert Reed! Their opponents, from Borger, Texas and Sante Fe, Mexico, Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody! Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody vs Mike & Robert Reed {Boyd may have called it a tag team match, but this is a pure domination by Hansen and Brody! They both attack the Reeds and throw some nasty rights and lefts. Boots to the faces and knees to the skull spell the end of this little contest. Stan Hansen throws Mike Reed through the ropes. Brody then tosses Robert to Hansen who Lariats his head off. Brody then runs with a flying knee drop for the 1….2…3! Brody and Hansen work the crowd as Ross and Watts put them through the roof… we have footage of the Wild Samoans as we cut to commercial.} *COMMERCIAL* Bill: Fans we are back and our next contest features one of the biggest stars in all of professional wrestling right now, the Junkyard Dog! Jim: The JYD is without a doubt one of the biggest names in the business and his history here in the Mid South area is second to none. Bill: Multiple times he has held that North American Heavyweight Championship and you know it is in is sights. Jim: Ted Dibiase is holding that title right now and you know he will be watching this contest. Bill: It could only be a matter of time before he gets his shot at the title and there isn’t much that Dibiase could do about it! Boyd Pierce: Fans our next contest is a singles match up with a 20-minute time limit. In the corner to my left, he is from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Raul Castro! His opponent hails from Charlotte, North Carolina, ladies and gentlemen, the JUNKYARD DOG! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvwDohEEQ1E The Junkyard Dog vs Raul Castro {A fun contest for all the fans here tonight in New Orleans. The JYD is home and the crowd is 100% behind him. The fans are chanting and cheering his name. Castro starts off strong with some nice offense and he is trying to break every single rule in the book. JYD continues to fight back. Castro then tries to work the skull but that is the wrong place on the Dog! JYD is bringing it big time here with some rights and lefts. Castro then swings real big and JYD ducks and grabs him for the THUMP! 1…2….3!! The crowd goes wild! The JYD continues to work the crowd. Jim Ross and Bill Watts discuss a video that Ted Dibiase sent in to the Mid South offices…} Ted Dibiase: As many of you people have noticed, I am not in New Orleans tonight. The complete idiocracy of Bill Watts and company to not have their main attraction on television. Well Watts… there is no doubt in your mind and the rest of the people’s minds down there that Ted Dibiase is without a doubt the main deal in Mid South. In fact, I’d like you to start recognizing that and start telling the people the truth. When it comes to the top talents of Mid South, you talk about the JYDs, the ThunderBolt Pattersons, and Wrestling IIs… you Bill Watts put them through the roof and talk about all the greatness they have… but you fail to mention that they don’t have nor deserve THIS! The North American Heavyweight Championship! It doesn’t matter who is next… the real question is who is left Watts… this title is mine for as long as I want it… and as long as I have it, you can call me the King of New Orleans! HAHA! *COMMERCIAL* Bill: Some big words there from Ted Dibiase… Jim: This guy is one of the mouthiest men in wrestling, but he can back it up in the ring. Bill: Well there is a lot more to this sport than just talk. Mid South is the home of grit and determination! Ted Dibiase is going to find that out in due time and he is going to see that there are plenty of challengers and there may just be a champion. Take a look at the next 15-men we have in this match. You can’t tell me there isn’t someone in there who couldn’t take that belt. Jim: Well we talked about the Junkyard Dog, but how about a challenger the likes of Andre the Giant!?! Bill: Exactly! Fans these battle royals are the most dangerous match in wrestling with men coming at you from every single angle. Arms and feet flying all over the place and you can really get hurt! Jim: Well each of these men has something to prove, and you can count that guys like Muraco and the Samoans will team up, but there are some other big challengers in there… Bill: It is time to see how this will shake out… let’s go to the ring! Boyd Pierce: Fans the next match is our feature contest. It is a 15-MAN BATTLE ROYAL! Here are the participants… MAIN EVENT BATTLE ROYAL Andre the Giant, Mr. Wrestling II, ThunderBolt Patterson, Steve O, Don Muraco, Baron Von Raschke, Afa, Sika, Sweet Daddy Siki, Burrhead Jones, Don Kent, El Bracero, Pete Sanchez, Paul Peller, & Mad Dog Boyd! {Here we go with 15 of the toughest competitors in the sport. Everyone is in awe of Andre as he towers over everyone. Early on we see Muraco and the Samoans work together as Andre is on the other side of the ring throwing out guys like Boyd, Bracero, Kent, and Jones! We get some fun action between ThunderBolt and the Baron right off the bat which brings the crowd to their feet. Sweet Daddy runs into a HUGE boot from Andre and he goes flying! The Samoans toss out Sanchez and Peller as things begin to dwindle. Muraco tosses Steve O and then he and Wrestling II get into it and this crowd is going wild! The Samoans are now hammering down on ThunderBolt as Andre grabs the Baron and tosses him over the top to the floor! We are getting close here as ThunderBolt is tossed by the Samoans! It is Wrestling II and Andre against the Samoans and Muraco right now. Watts and Ross are just going wild here. Andre is taking on the Samoans two on one! Muraco and Wrestling II are near the ropes and that good for nothing Grand Wizard pulls the rope and Wrestling II goes over the top to the floor! Andre then hammers the Samoans and they go over the top to the floor! Muraco then turns around and there is ANDRE! Muraco doesn’t quite know what to do but Andre grabs him and a huge HEADBUTT and Muraco goes flying over the ropes but he gets locked in as the ropes are around his throat! The fans are going wild! Andre pulls him out and then tosses him back in the ring! Muraco is slowly getting up and then Andre grabs him for a HUGE BODY SLAM! He picks him up one more time and walks around the ring before throwing him out of the ring on to the Samoans! ANDRE THE GIANT IS THE WINNER! Watts and Ross put this through the roof. They talk about Mid South Wrestling next week, we will have footage of The Fantastics along with ThunderBolt Patterson, the Samoans, and Ted Dibiase will be in the arena!
