Dibiase vs Duggan help

[kingliam]

Hello all

 

I'm just looking for some guidance as to the initial break-up of Duggan and Dibiase in 1983 Mid-South. What caused it? I'm currently watching it chronologically, but also doing some writing on the Duggan/Dibiase feud - I don't really want to spoil everything, but need the additional information for the writing.

 

Also, did they team back up in 1984 before they split up again? I've seen most of the angle before the feud in 1985, and this is what it seemed to suggest, but I might have misunderstood.

 

Thanks for any and all help.

Will explained this very well on a podcast once, it's somewhere on here:

Don't forget that Ted goes to GCW and is not in Midsouth for much of 1984.

thanks for that. That should be useful listening - although it probably just means that he has done what I'm trying to do and better!

 

I realise Dibiase was away for a lot of 1984, but the feud kicked back up at the tail end of 1984. I just wasn't sure if he returned to team, feud or to team then feud with Duggan.

As I recall it is something to do with Duggan getting a pair of cuff links as a prize and Ted taking particular exception.

The split in 83 is to do with Ted aligning himself with Skandor Akbar and Duggan being patriotic and not wanting to be un-American.

What I don't get about this is that Duggan comes in to Mid-South with Akbar in 1982. I can only assume that is a short lived pairing.
