Nice smooth show. Way to kick things off in the right direction. You have showcased just a piece of all of the talent you have in Stampede. I am pumped to see who fits where when the dinner table is all set. I look for guys like Bret, Steamboat, and Jake to carry a brunt of the load but there's a lot of other talent here to do work.

Done.

Rain made a good point, For Japanese guys and luchadors, if they worked dates in America, then we can use them, if they didn't they should be off the list. Would someone be willing to look through the list and give me names to delete? I am loaded with some other things tonight, if it isn't done by this weekend, I should be able to do it.

So Big time got Charlie Cook then on their roster? I will update the draft stuff right now.

http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=1050&page=20 With this as a reference, we could use her as a manager until mid 1985 to turn her into a freelancer.

Okay let me know

I got the draft up there... and got the lineups and fresh faces all set. We should be able to kick that bad boy off January 1st and go from there. Again, let's not use talent drafted until it is complete. I don't think this one will go as long. I do want to point out though, if you are going to be dropping to add space, please post it on free agency and I will do my best to keep the overall rosters updated. Just bear with me and communicate and it should work out just fine.

I added Owen Hart to the list and dropped Burrhead Jones. I do think we need to talk about the Japanese and Luchadors. These guys weren't active in the US during this time, are we going to make them active now?

This will be the official thread for the 1984 fresh face draft. I ask that you please keep discussion on the other threads and keep this one just for the draft. I will keep this updated with round by round picks and promotional picks for everyone to keep updated. Here is the master order... Mid-South - AWA - Southeastern - Big Time - Memphis - WWA - Florida - MACW - Stampede - Now with the fresh face drafts... they do not go snake, they go in regular order, so this order will continue throughout. Any promotion can pass at any time. I will put up four rounds for brevity's sake... please post any trades here so I can update it. Once a promotion has PASSED on the draft... they can no longer trade those picks... once you have passed, you are erased from the order and will be put in the top position for the 1985 fresh face draft. Round 1 Mid-South - Gino Hernandez AWA - Traded to Southeastern - Phil Hickerson Southeastern - Shawn Michaels Big Time - Traded to Southeastern - Steve Armstrong Memphis - Bam Bam Bigelow WWA - Dan Spivey Florida - Lance Von Erich MACW - Traded to Southeastern - Tracy Smothers Stampede - Nikita Koloff Round 2 Mid-South - Owen Hart AWA - Traded to Southeastern - Scott Hall Southeastern - Baby Doll Memphis - Shane Douglas WWA - Jim Powers Florida - New Guinea Man Eater aka Botswana Beast, Kamala II MACW - Kendall Windham Stampede - William Regal Round 3 Mid-South - Yokozua AWA - Paul Diamond Florida - Rick Hazzard MACW - Fred Ottman Stampede - Paul Roma Round 4 AWA - Pat Tanaka Florida - MACW - Wendell Cooly Stampede - Nick Kiniski Round 5 Florida - MACW - Elizabeth Stampede - PROMOTIONAL RESULTS Mid-South - Gino Hernandez Nikita Koloff (Trade from Stampede) AWA - Paul Diamond Pat Tanaka Southeastern - Phil Hickerson Shawn Michaels Steve Armstrong Tracy Smothers Scott Hall Baby Doll Big Time - PASSED Memphis - Bam Bam Bigelow Shane Douglas WWA - Dan Spivey Jim Powers Florida - Lance Von Erich New Guinea Man Eater aka Botswana Beast, Kamala II Rick Hazzard MACW - Kendall Windham Fred Ottman Wendell Cooley Miss Elizabeth Stampede - Owen Hart (From Mid South) Yokozuna (From Mid South) Steve (William) Regal Paul Roma Nick Kiniski Here is the list of talent... if someone is on this list that shouldn't, let me know, if someone should be, let me know.

MID SOUTH WRESTLING PRESENTS DOUBLE TROUBLE SATURDAY DECEMBER 17th SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM, HOUSTON TEXAS Magnum TA defeated Israel Matia via the BELLY-to-BELLY SUPLEX! Krusher Kruschev defeated Steve Lombardi via the RUSSIAN SICKLE! The Barbarian defeated Dennis Stamp via TOP ROPE SHOULDER BLOCK! King Kong Bundy w/ Jimmy Hart defeated S.D. Jones via the AVALANCHE! El Bracero & Jose Lothario vs Rick Rude & Superstar Graham -A big rematch of sorts from last night. Jose Lothario is a big name in the area and the fans are solidly behind him. He and Bracero have a lot of history and it shows in their ability to tag in and out here. This is a fun tale of Graham and Rude doubling up whenever they get the chance on Bracero. They are beating him down and the crowd is waiting and waiting for the huge tag to Jose Lothario who comes in like a house of fire with some huge rights and lefts for everyone! Rude is reeling and Lothario with a big dropkick and he goes into the corner. Graham is reeling and Rude stumbles by him but here comes Lothario and Bracero for a pair of crescent kicks but Rude pulls Graham in the way and he gets ROCKED! Rude goes out of the ring while Bracero covers for the 1…2….3! Rude is almost up the aisle-way by the three count! The fans are booing him into the back while Bracero and Lothario work the crowd! EIGHT-MAN ELIMINATION The Fantastics & Rock N Roll Express vs The Midnight Express & The Wild Samoans -This is more of a marathon and you’ve got four of the top teams in North American all fighting for the prize. Randy Rose has got some bandages on his nose right now and we see the Fantastics and RnR double up and before he knows it Rose’s nose is busted again and he falls to a huge roll up from Bobby Fulton for the 1…2….3!! We are able to get some more action as this one plays out with everyone getting involved and taking shots. The biggest moments happen with Ricky Morton taking on the Samoans and the sheer size difference is something to behold. All hell breaks loose before too long and we see the Samoans and Rock N Roll outside the ring brawling before we get a double count out and all four men are eliminated. It comes down to The Fantastics and Dennis Condrey. We get a fun little handicap match for 3 or 4 minutes but it is just too much as Condrey falls to a big double dropkick and then Rocket Launcher as Fulton covers for the 1…2…3!! It looks like the Fantastics are on top of the tag team mountain in Mid South and one has to wonder who is going to climb up and get a piece next!?! ThunderBolt Patterson vs The Masked Superstar -Not really a throw away match but not a ton of heat with this one. Masked Superstar is really coming into his own and ThunderBolt is riding a nice wave of momentum but it appears to be going on the downward slide. ThunderBolt still has taped up ribs from last night and King Kong Bundy and Superstar uses that to his advantage and the bearhug is all she wrote. ThunderBolt is having a hard time breathing and he has no choice but to give it up. Masked Superstar works the crowd and you have to know he has got title aspirations on his mind. BUNKHOUSE MATCH Wahoo McDaniel, Andre The Giant, & Hacksaw Duggan vs Stan Hansen, Blackjack Lanza, & Blackjack Mulligan -This is definitely one of the reasons the fans showed up tonight as this big six-man is brewing from last night’s tag team cage match. We see the Blackjacks come out with chaps and jeans and they have got some heavy taped fists. Hansen much the same and he has got some kind of a branding iron with him. The crowd roars as Wahoo leads out Hacksaw and Andre. Andre has some swank white cowboy boots on and Duggan has the 2x4. The bell rings and for 9-minutes, we get a nasty brawl all over the ring and ringside area. Everyone is busted at some point other than Duggan who doesn’t have a fresh wound. We have two referees out here as this is pure chaos. At one point we see Hansen Lariat Duggan over the railing into the crowd and that’s there that fight goes. Wahoo and Mulligan lay into each other with some stiff chair shots outside the ring but Wahoo hits the final one putting him down. Andre then finishes things off when he nails Lanza over the head with the branding iron, bending it in half. Lanza falls to his knees and then Andre picks him up for a bearhug slam and the 1…2…3!! A chaotic brawl that spilled everywhere. Andre, Wahoo, and Duggan work the crowd. NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP Bruiser Brody vs Ted Dibiase © -After the brawl that just occurred, Ted Dibiase and Bruiser Brody pick up where they left off in the beginning but turn the tide in this 30-minute championship match. From the outset Brody looks to brawl with Dibiase but the Champion changes the pace of the contest and dictates all of Brody’s movements. He tries to wear him down at the knees and does what he can to slow the big man down but Brody continues to find a way. Brody does hit some high momentum moves but when he goes for power moves his knee breaks down. Dibiase is reeling but he continues to go on the offense. At one point Brody goes for a big clothesline and he and Dibiase go out of the ring to the floor. The crowd is buzzing and both men are chopping one another into oblivion! Brody then with a big right hand and Dibiase goes down and he is a bloody mess. It looks like it was a hard-way and now Brody is looking to finish. He is limping around but he has just enough to get Dibiase in the ring. The champion is now digging in his tights and he pulls something out… he shoves it in that glove and he gets to his feet to throw a big right hand but Brody ducks and picks him up for a powerslam! Brody then goes for the running knee to finish but Dibiase moves and Brody nails his bad knee on the mat and he’s hurt! Dibiase gets out of the ring and it has to be the momentum of Brody as he gets out and Dibiase with that huge right hand and that loaded glove and Brody goes down! The referee is counting and he gets to 8…9… Dibiase is in the ring as he counts to 10! Dibiase has won the match via count out and Brody is starting to get up with a stream of blood coming down his skull. He looks at Dibiase who grabs his title and goes to the back… Brody is on the chase, bad knee and all this one is far from over! DOG-COLLAR MATCH Junkyard Dog vs One Man Gang -What the last match had in great technical wrestling, this match lacks for all intensive purposes. It is an odd pairing as the collar doesn’t fit very well on the Gang’s neck and he takes it off during the match, which just leads it to being a chain match. Gang is able to get some good offense to start and he wears down the dog pretty well but it is as formulaic as they come. The Dog finds a way to fight back and he handles the big guy. We even get to see a bodyslam, which pops the crowd. There are some instances of violence, namely the Gang trying to hang JYD with the chain over the top rope but that is quick to turn and we see the finishing touches with the JYD hitting the THUMP and getting the pin for the 1….2….3! Nothing too special but JYD with the victory and the Gang gets out of town alive. -Jim Ross jumps on the house microphone again to put over Starrcade next week. He says fans in Houston will be able to see the show at two different theaters. He puts over the card and talks about the Tag Team Championship Match and says that the Fantastics will be taking on the Russian team of Krusher Kruschev and Boris Zhukov. He then puts over the North American Championship Match. He says that it will be officially Ted Dibiase defending against the Junkyard Dog. The crowd then stirs… waits a moment… who is this… Jim Ross: Wait just a moment… Tully Blanchard… Tully Blanchard: Listen to me Ross… listen to me right now. I am sick and tired of turning on the television and seeing all of these “wrestlers” coming out here and saying they are something special. I am sick and tired of all these overweight goofballs saying they hold a title. Well look at this… {He pulls a championship belt…} Tully Blanchard: This right here is a championship. I fought all over Texas for this title and I am going to remain the champion and I am putting… Jim Ross: But that company doesn’t exist anymore Blanchard… that title is meaningless… Tully Blanchard: You look at me Ross… let me tell you something right now… this title is the signification that I am the man when it comes to professional wrestling. Jim Ross: That title isn’t even sanctioned… it is nothing more than a belt… Tully Blanchard: Don’t you start with me Ross or you’ll end up like the rest of em! I am putting you and everyone else in Mid South on notice… this title may not hold any clout in the NWA or Mid South… but to me… it shows that I was robbed! I was robbed of my chance. So I am out here to say that I am keeping a close eye on the gold around Mid South. I am keeping a close eye on the gold in the NWA. If you are a champion… consider yourself warned… Tully Blanchard is here and you better damn well know I am coming for all the gold… and I am not alone! -Ross is shocked by this as Tully is getting a chorus of boos from the crowd here. Ross puts it over and then does the announcement for our main event. CAGE MATCH TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE VS MASK Mr. Wrestling II vs Don Muraco © w/ Paul Jones -This one started two months ago right here in Houston for the television title and it comes to head right here. Title vs mask. Winner takes all inside the steel. This one starts off hot and we have got some great action with Muraco and Wrestling II really knowing one another so well. Jones is almost a non-factor outside the cage but he’s still there to rile up the fans whenever he gets a chance. These guys go about 17-minutes to cap off two fantastic nights of wrestling action. In this one we see Wrestling II send Muraco from steel to steel and get the blood flowing something fierce. We then see Muraco turn the tide and he all but rips the mask right from Wrestling II’s face. Now II is a bloody mess. Both men are wearing one another out and we see Muraco trying to escape from Wrestling II who is building some big time momentum… Muraco climbs up the flimsy cage but here comes Wrestling II to turn him around and SUPERPLEX! Both men go down and appear to be out. Jones is screaming at the referee and then we see Wrestling II pull himself up and Muraco does on the other end and here comes Wrestling II with a huge running high knee and the cover for the 1….2….3!! WE HAVE A NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION! Wrestling II works the crowd and the fans are going nuts. Here comes Magnum TA out to celebrate with him. Muraco leaves a bloody mess, as Paul Jones doesn’t appear to be happy! Wrestling II holds the title high in the air…

Just a fantastic start or rebirth for MACW. Taking some of the old and mixing it in with the new is definitely the way to go. It is great to see that tournament unfold almost like it did in 86 for the US tag titles. Starrcade is upon us and I am pumped to put it together... hype thread should be coming up soon!

I think Dex is going to look at PWSony's list. by all means... post on that fresh face thread and let's get it set up.

For sure. We have three votes for a January fresh face. All opposed should say so here and give an option in return. All of the same opinion should say as well.

Works for me... if someone drops we hold off on the roster for a bit and see what happens.

Yes... the cats out of the bag, Gino is coming to Mid South. I vote we do it january. I think we can use pwsonys list that he posted. We will draft from there with the additions of Gino and Hickerson.

If we do it in January, then let's do it and make that the case. If we were to draft again right now, I would definitely drop a couple of people to make space, but it also gets it out of the way. So I am in for it being in January so it can be done and we can plan for next years in December to have the guys available in January. Then we really wouldn't have any major roster drafts on the horizon and can focus on those areas. Again, the draft is NOT MANDATORY. You DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. Hell, I could look at the list and have 2-3 names I'd like and if I get them, I may be done. It is no surprise that Gino Hernandez is going to be the first overall pick. When it gets back to me, if there's someone I could do work with, I could draft them, but from the list and the 1984 versions of these guys, I am not overly big on a ton of people and would definitely be adding some names into the mix. My only decree would be that this draft is ONLY the fresh faces... not free agents...That's a mess to work through and this draft has a single purpose and that is to introduce the 1984 rookies into the world of wrestling.

I move we do two draft... in April and August to go along with the roster cap bumps around those times. Then by the time we hit back in January we get do a full year fresh face draft. That's my opinion. If there is another option out there... one draft or multiple drafts, let's do work.

I agree on all accounts. The days of the Freelancers running wild through Mid South are all but over and will be special attractions if used at all. I know I push the Midnights in the way of Condrey and Eaton and I have to catch myself when I am writing. I know Rose and Condrey are more deliberate and I just picture them stepping up the pace a little bit with the Rock N Roll. I don't know about the long term future of the MXE in Mid South but they definitely have left a little mark on the tag division. We'll see how they fair tomorrow night. I am interested to see who will get lost in the shuffle but I know in the new year, I am toying with some ideas of possibly a second show which would be a Wrestling Challenge type with just some highlights and promos. That would be a good way to keep these guys pushed and keep storylines fresh. I know that some people will get dropped into tag teams... for instance ThunderBolt Patterson has been one of my main dudes but at this point in his career and with the talent around him, he may end up being a JTTS tag team with SD Jones. A guy who gets wins on house shows to come back and maybe lose to an up and comer for sake of a "name win." With the influx of some of these top guys, I want to keep them in the mix and when looking back, there were 8 matches on an hour of wrestling along with promos. I don't want to just disregard my television for squashes but rather put on some fun matches and really build up storylines and groups and like you said... tag teams is what Mid South is going to really be about in the turn of 84 and we will see who will combat for those tag team titles.

Prologue: As a reminder for our new writers and readers, these shows were not shown on television, therefore there is no commentary to go along with them. Now perhaps some companies would have the cameras rolling during these types of shows, they were really only accessible to the fans watching them in the arena. This is something to add to your production when it comes to the presentation of the shows. These shows are being written as though you are in the arena watching them or perhaps reading them from an Apter mag. MID SOUTH WRESTLING PRESENTS DOUBLE TROUBLE FRIDAY DECEMBER 16TH SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM, HOUSTON TEXAS S.D. Jones defeated Dennis Stamp via POWERSLAM! Rick McGraw defeated Tommy Gilbert via BULLDOG! The Barbarian defeated Victor Rivera via TOP ROPE SHOULDER TACKLE! El Bracero vs Rick Rude w/ Superstar Graham -A nice way to open things up with this Houston crowd who doesn’t take kindly to Rude making fun of Mexicans and says Bracero is nothing but a laborer and doesn’t deserve to be in the ring with him. These guys get 10-minutes and Rude is very raw at this point. He has some power offense but more of a Memphis stalling style which ignites the Houston crowd. Superstar Graham is getting some nice heat outside the ring when he takes jabs and punches at Bracero when the referee’s back is turned. The big moment happens when Bracero is looking to hit the flying forearm but Graham grabs his foot and then Rude comes from behind with a big double axe-handle smash and then turns him around for a RUDE AWAKENING (DDT) and the 1…2….3! Rude and Graham then jump in and put the boots to Bracero as the fans are getting hot but here comes JOSE LOTHARIO! Jose runs to the ring and cleans house! Rude almost pushes Graham into him and backs up the aisle… the fans are rabid and cheering for Lothario as he holds up Bracero. Rock & Roll Express vs Midnight Express -Our next contest picks right up where the last one left off. The RnR and Midnights continue to build this big feud with some nice action. They get around 12-minutes and we see the MXE just break down Ricky Morton who looks as though he is dying in the middle of the ring. Rose and Condrey just barrel down with some big rights and lefts and they work over the shoulder something awful. Morton goes for a big tag but Rose has the referee’s back turned and Gibson comes in like a house of fire but PeeWee Anderson has to back him up. The fans are really getting riled up now. Rose and Condrey continue to break down Morton but then somehow, someway he finds a way to make the big tag and Gibson comes in and he lays a huge fury of rights and lefts on Rose and Condrey and the crowd is going wild! Gibson looks to be in control but the numbers game gets the best of him. Rose holds him by the arms but Morton comes in and he cracks Condrey! Morton goes up top and Gibson sees him and moves as Morton comes off the top with a dropkick right off Rose’s nose! Rose’s nose must have EXPLODED! Blood is everywhere! Gibson covers for the 1…2….3! The crowd pops Gibson and Morton as they walk to the back. PeeWee holds a towel over Rose’s face as it is a gusher and some of the fans shreak when he walks by! -Before this one gets going, Kruschec comes out with Muraco and Jones. They put over how they are going to end Wrestling II’s career tomorrow night inside of the steel cage. They say that Wrestling II will not survive, nor will he mask. This is getting the crowd pretty riled up as Wrestling II comes out and he says that he knew this would be a fight and that he’d need some back up… so he got the help of a man with whom he has trusted and someone who he knows will be behind him… he brings out… MAGNUM TA! Mr. Wrestling II w/ Magnum TA vs Krusher Kruschev w/ Don Muraco & Paul Jones - Magnum TA comes out to a great ovation, as he is decently known here in the Mid South Area. He joins up with Wrestling II to combat the Muraco and Jones factor outside the ring. This one is a good power contest with the Krusher who is a great physical presence in the ring. He control the pace and allows Wrestling II to get a great build up from the crowd. Magnum TA is pounding the mat and getting the fans riled up as Wrestling II finds a way to get going on offense before Muraco attempts to get involved. Magnum runs over and he cracks Muraco and then Kruschev grabs at him but Wrestling II with a high knee sending him out of the ring to the floor. Wrestling II joins and we’ve got a tag team brawl outside the ring right now and the crowd is chanting for Wrestling II and Magnum! The referee continues to count as Wrestling II leaps inside the ring as Muraco attempts to get his leg but doesn’t and Wrestling II with the count out victory! The crowd gives him some love as Magnum and Wrestling II work the fans. Muraco holds up the title and says that tomorrow night in the cage he won’t be able to run! We will see how that fares tomorrow night! TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Fantastics vs The Wild Samoans © -This is one that these fans have been waiting for. They’ve seen these teams against one another before and the last time that it happened, the Samoans destroyed Fulton and Rogers. Tonight, the titles are on the line and the fans are giving them a little something extra. This one goes roughly 15-minutes and it helps the Fantastics. Fulton and Rogers are able to dictate the pace and keep the Samoans doing. We really see some tag team execution and the Fantastics have really come into their own right in front of these fan’s eyes! Afa and Sika with some big shots and control near the end but it is the momentum of the Fantastics that leads us to a huge moment when they double dropkick Sika out of the ring to the floor. They then double dropkick Afa who no sells it but Rogers goes behind and gets on his hands and knees while Fulton runs for a cross body and Afa trips as both Fantastics cover for the 1….2….3!! Just a great moment here as the fans go wild! Fulton and Rogers grab the tag team titles and hold them high in the air. They jump out into the crowd on their way up through the Sam Houston Coliseum. BULLROPE MATCH Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen ­-A very interesting contest. Hansen comes out and he is throwing that bullrope around as Andre is shown coming out but Hansen won’t let him in the ring. He throws the rope one more time but Andre grabs it and pulls him out of the ring and to the floor. This one is a wild 11-minute brawl and both men get busted open from the cowbell. Hansen is digging it into Andre’s skull and the big man is a mess. Andre fights his way back and it is no Hansen who is a bloody mess. Jim Ross announced before the contest that it was a simple pinfall/submission Bullrope match without the four corners piece. Hansen is going for broke and he is trying to choke out Andre with everything he’s got but Andre stands up and throws Hansen over his body. Andre then picks up Hansen and wraps it around his throat and hoists him over his back for a hangman and Hansen is screaming with blood running down his eyes. He taps out and Andre is the winner of this bloody war. The fans give them a nice ovation as Hansen is helped to the back… The Junkyard Dog, ThunderBolt Patterson, & Hacksaw Duggan VS King Kong Bundy, The One Man Gang, & The Masked Superstar w/ Jimmy Hart -Much like the match before this, we have got a lot of heat and some nice stories intertwined in here. This one is a fun 13-minute contest with Masked Superstar doing a brunt of the work while Bundy and OMG do some major pounding. ThunderBolt is the face in peril tonight and we get to see Hacksaw and JYD throw some nice shots at all three men. This is Mid South’s first chance to see Hacksaw and Bundy for an extended length and the fans are solidly behind Duggan. Bundy is a powerful force but the OMG may be more powerful right now. The crowd erupts when JYD and OMG go at each other one on one! In the end we see Duggan and Masked Superstar battling, JYD and OMG, and then we see Jimmy Hart distract Thunderbolt in the corner and Bundy with the AVALANCHE! OH MY! He pulls ThunderBolt down for the 1….2…3!! The crowd isn’t happy about this as JYD and OMG continue to brawl and then Hacksaw brings in the 2x4. Bundy and Jimmy Hart run while the heels may have won the battle, the war could be far from over! -As the cage is being set up, we hear Jim Ross get on the house microphone and put over tomorrow night’s card. He says that the North American Title will be on the line with Dibiase defending against Bruiser Brody. Tomorrow night the Television Championship will be on the line with Muraco defending against Wrestling II in a steel cage title vs mask match. Tomorrow night we will also see a Dog Collar Chain match between the Junkyard Dog and One Man Gang. There will be a special six-man bunkhouse match with Andre the Giant, Wahoo McDaniel, & Hacksaw Duggan taking on Stan Hansen & The Blackjacks. We will see an eight-man elimination match with the Rock N Roll Express & Fantastics taking on the Samoans & Midnight Express and then a tag team match with Jose Lothario & El Bracero taking on Rick Rude & Superstar Graham! The cage is set up and the crowd is ready for this one. We have seen these two teams do battle in the past but inside the cage, anything can happen. Jim Ross announces that this will be a Texas Tornado contest with the first team getting a pinfall or submission will be awarded the victory. MAIN EVENT CAGE MATCH Bruiser Brody & Wahoo McDaniel vs The Blackjacks - A big time main event with these four men having a lot of history with one another. The Blackjacks are waiting in the cage as Brody and Wahoo step into the ring and for 14-minutes we have got a bloody mess of a brawl. We see Brody and Hansen work well together at the beginning and both of the Blackjacks get busted wide open from the get go. As the tide turns, the blood begins to flow from Wahoo and Brody and the ring is getting messy. A big moment occurs when Mulligan and Lanza double up on Wahoo and tie him in the ropes and then go to work on Brody. Just as soon as you think Brody is going to be out of it Wahoo is able to break free and nail a couple of huge chops on both of the Blackjacks and the crowd is going wild. We see Brody and Wahoo both grab the men and toss them into the steel and the fans at ringside are getting a little bit more than they bargained for! Wahoo then tosses Mulligan one more time and he nails the steel and is then caught between the cage and the ropes! Lanza runs for a clothesline but Wahoo ducks and picks him up for a huge POWERSLAM and then Brody with the running HIGH KNEE for the 1….2….3!! Brody and Wahoo have won it as they work the crowd and leave the cage. Wait just a minute! That’s Stan Hansen! Hansen runs out of the shadows and he hits Brody with a LARIAT! Brody goes down! Hansen tosses Wahoo back in the ring and he locks the cage door! The Blackjacks are recovering, as it is a 3 on 1 beatdown on Wahoo McDaniel! The Blackjacks and Hansen are softening him up for the Bunkhouse Match tomorrow night and he may not even be able to show up! The crowd is working into a frenzy as the fans get closer and closer to the ring but then we see Hacksaw Duggan run out and here comes Andre! Andre RIPS THE CAGE DOOR OFF! The Blackjacks and Hansen are trying to climb over the flimsy cage and get to safety but the fans aren’t letting that happen. We have got a very ruckus crowd and in the middle of the ring is Wahoo McDaniel laying a bloody mess!

You've got some huge names coming in and your changing up the ship. I am looking forward to watching memphis walk the line and do what is best for memphis. I like our deals and look forward to how you'll handle this influx to go along with how well you've built your home grown guys. Keep doin work.

I like seeing the Freebirds in their great heelness coming through. I think that Rich and Sawyer are set to light Southeastern on fire with some of the brawls they will have. The brawl on the 12th reminds me of the classic concession stand brawl from Memphis. Good stuff to build towards Superclash.

Amazing stuff. Perhaps we can add stories to this over the next couple of days.

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 this week with Bill Watts sitting behind his desk ready to make an announcement…} Bill Watts: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Mid South Wrestling. It is with a great honor and pleasure that I am announcing a partnership with Jim Crockett Promotions and the National Wrestling Alliance. The gravity of this partnership is such that we will be putting together a joint promotional show with all the members of the National Wrestling Alliance called Starrcade! This event will be held on December 25th live from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, South Carolina. Fans will be able to see the show live and for the first time on closed circuit through the Mid South and South Eastern pasts of the United States. Towns like Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and even New York will be carrying the show in select theaters. This is the kind of event that you take your kids to that they will never forget. This is going to be a happening and everyone knows that the National Wrestling Alliance is the oldest governing body in professional wrestling and I look forward to putting this card together and showcasing the top Mid South talent at the event. As of this point… the Mid South Tag Team Championship will be on the line as will the North American Championship as the Junkyard Dog will challenge the champion… either Bruiser Brody or Ted Dibiase. Fans we will have more matches announced next week on our broadcast. Stay tuned for the best wrestling action anywhere right here with Mid South Wrestling! -We cut to the ring with Jim Ross standing by... Jim Ross: WELCOME EVERYONE TO MID SOUTH WRESTLING! I am Jim Ross and fans we have got a huge card tonight and you just heard Bill Watts… Starrcade is upon us. Live next week on Christmas night, it is going to be the wrestling event of the century. Everyone is looking forward to the NWA title being on the line along with such titles as the Mid South North American and Tag Team titles along with the NWA Mid-American title out of Memphis, the US Championship and so many more. Fans this is going to be the event that shapes the future of professional wrestling… wait just a moment… Ted Dibiase… -We see Ted Dibiase come out and he isn’t alone as he’s got the Blackjacks and the One Man Gang with him. They walk over to the table and talk to Jim Ross… Jim Ross: Now what do we owe this pleasure? Ted Dibiase: Don’t you be smart with me Ross. Don’t you be smart with me for one second. I am sick and tired of people like Bill Watts and Grizzly Smith making matches for me. I am tired of them saying I need to be in one place when I don’t want to. Christmas night? I am supposed to wrestle the Junkyard Dog on Christmas night? What about Brody? Now this Friday night… {Bill Watts walks out and he looks hot…} Ted Dibiase: You listen to me Watts… this Friday night, you put me in a match. Tonight I’ve got a match. Tomorrow night I’ve got a match. Then Saturday I am supposed to defend my North American Title against Bruiser Brody. You’ve got to be kidding me! Bill Watts: It is no secret that I expect a lot of out the North American Champion. The man who holds that title is the one who is the best wrestler in Mid South and perhaps the toughest champion in wrestling. May just be that you can’t cut it Dibiase. Ted Dibiase: I have held this title more times and longer than anyone Watts and that includes you. Let me tell you something… I am not wrestling on Friday night. I will not be in Houston. I have got a specialized training set up. I know that this title is important and I want to make sure all the people who come out to support me see me at my best against that Mad Man Brody on Saturday! Bill Watts: So you’re afraid huh? Ted Dibiase: No Watts, I am smart… smarter than you for all intensive purposes. Now the way I see it… you can still have your little six-man but since the Junkyard Dog and ThuderBolt Patterson haven’t announced their third partner… I might as well let the cat out of the bag and say who is going to be joining the One Man Gang and Masked Superstar… ladies and gentlemen… without a doubt… he is the strongest man in the world of professional wrestling… he is the MASTER OF THE 5 COUNT… KING… KONG… BUNDY! Jim Ross: Wait just a minute… Jimmy Hart… what are you doing out here? Jimmy Hart: Well lemme tell ya something baby. You are looking right now at the biggest and the baddest and that’s no offense to the One Man Gang but you have got one of the strongest men on the planet right here with my man… King Kong Bundy! I have spoken with Ted Dibiase and we’ve agreed to take his place on Friday night in Houston and lemme tell ya something baby… we cannot wait to put that big goof the Junkyard Dog DOWN for the 5 Count! HAHAHAHA! Bill Watts: Well Dibiase, looks like you may have surprised everyone… but don’t you forget that you’ve got a match tonight and Bobby Fulton is going to push you pal and he may just get that victory. Anything can happen in Mid South and I can’t wait to see exactly what he does to you! Dibiase: Watts… I am more untouchable now than I have ever been! HAHA! -Jim Ross puts over this announcement and wonders who will join the JYD against that big threesome on Friday night. He then puts over our opening contest as we cut to the ring… El Bracero vs Dennis Stamp -A nice opening contest with Bracero getting a good victory here. He has got a lot of momentum right now but the real issues builds up when Rick Rude and Superstar Graham walk out. Rude is flexing in the aisle and working over the fans. Bracero continues to look at him like a fool as Rude grabs the microphone… Rick Rude: Hey… hey common man. He worker… HEY! {Bracero turns and looks at him…} Rick Rude: Hey there laborer… why don’t you get back to work instead of taking up my camera time! {Bracero begins to walk away…} Rick Rude: That’s right there common man… you keep walking. Don’t you dare take up my time. These people paid to see this body… not your scrawny excuse of a… {Wait just a moment. Bracero walks back to the ring but officials come out… lemme tell ya this is about to explode… Ross puts it through the roof and says we will see the Rock N Roll Express taking on the Midnight Express when we come back!} *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Ross putting over Starrcade and the big six-man tag this Friday night in Houston. He says that Grizzly Smith just signed a one on one contest with Rick Rude taking on El Bracero this Friday night in Houston. He then puts over the big tag team contest about to take place with the Rock N Roll Express and the Midnight Express. He says that these are two of the top teams in wrestling. He wonders if either of these teams will get a chance at the tag titles in the future and wonders how they would fair against the Samaons and drools over the matches with the Fantastics. We cut to the ring. Rock N Roll Express vs Midnight Express -Jim Ross put it all on the table fans, these are two of the premiere teams in all of professional wrestling and here we go. These guys go for 9 solid minutes. Rose and Condrey isolate Ricky Morton who sells the farm and he is beaten down something awful. The fans are aware of Morton and give him some pop and they know the attitudes of the MXE. This gives the Rock N Roll the edge as the MXE get some nice heat. We then see the hot tag to Robert Gibson and he comes in like a house of fire. Gibson with some big time shots. Rights and lefts and Rose and Condrey are backing up. The MXE come with a big clothesline but Gibson rolls underneath and joins up with Morton who comes with a big pair of DROPKICKS! MXE goes out of the ring and the Midnights go out on the apron and big cross bodies! We have got a pier six brawl outside the ring as the Midnights and the Rock N Roll are throwing bombs! The referee continues the count and gets to 10 as this one is a double count out! The fans get pretty pumped for this one with these four guys giving it all they had out there. Ross puts this through the roof and says he hears that Don Muraco is going to be coming out and he has some kind of a challenge for Mr. Wrestling II! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns and Don Muraco walks out with Paul Jones. They are hucking it up and talking about the television championship this weekend. Jim Ross puts over how Saturday night, he may be leaving in a crimson mask against Wrestling II but then Muraco says the only mask he is going to be leaving with is Wrestling IIs. He says that without a doubt he doesn’t even think that Wrestling II is up for the challenge. Paul Jones and Muraco say that they have hired someone to freshen up Wrestling II on Friday night in Houston… they introduce Krusher Kruschev… -Ross puts him over as a strong competitor and wonders just what he can do in the ring as Kruschev walks into the ring to face… Tommy Gilbert vs Krusher Kruschev -You can count this one by the second’s hand on your clock as Krusher makes quick work of Gilbert. Kruschev is known in the Mid South area and Ross puts him over in a big way. We see him bust out a huge Russian Sickle and cover for the 1….2…3!! -After the contest Kruschev, Muraco, and Paul Jones are laughing in the ring but then Wrestling II comes out. He looks into the ring and he knows that a fight could go down right not but Ross says Wrestling II is smart enough o pick the good fight. We have officials who come out and get between them. What is Wrestling II going to do when he faces Masked Superstar next?1? *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns with Ross announcing that this Friday night, there will be the big tag team championship match with the Fantastics taking on the Wild Samoans but just signed, it is going to be a rematch, the Midnight Express taking on the Rock N Roll Express! Ross says he expects it to be a hell fire of a matchup with these four again. He wonders who will go to Starrcade as the tag champions and who they will defend against. Ross puts over the debut of Krusher Kruschev and says he and Wrestling II are sure to have a war in the middle of the ring on Friday night. He says Saturday that Wrestling II will do whatever it takes to keep his mask and win the TV title. Ross puts over how Masked Superstar will be in the six-man tag on Friday but Saturday he will be facing ThunderBolt Patterson and that match may have some television title implications. We then cut to the ring for this big time contest! Mr. Wrestling II vs Masked Superstar -A really fun 7-minute contest with two guys who have got a lot to prove to one another. Masked Superstar is pretty powerful and showcases his ability tonight as Wrestling II is doing everything he can to keep bringing the fight. The crowd is 100% behind Wrestling II and he fights back with some stiff shots. We see Muraco, Kruschev, and Jones walk down to the ring and cheer on Masked Superstar. Wrestling II has the odds stacked against him but he isn’t letting it get to him until we see Muraco grab his foot and distract him. Masked Superstar comes over and grabs him for a nasty back suplex and crushes Wrestling II’s head on the mat for a 1…2….3!! Here we go! Kruschev and Muraco are beating him down something awful. We have got a three on one demolition. The worst part comes when Muraco hoists him up and we see a triple spike piledriver right in the middle of the ring! Muraco covers him and Paul Jones counts 1…2…3! Muraco runs around with the belt like he won it! We have officials and agents coming down as these guys back off… there is more to this when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* -MSW returns and we can see Wrestling II at the announce table and he is barely standing. He grabs the microphone and lets Jim Ross know that if it is a fight that Muraco wants… he’s going to get it. He doesn’t usually call for back up, but if he has to, then he will get the best there is for it! Jim Ross puts over Wrestling II’s big weekend and says he wonders how good of shape he will be in to get his hands on the TV title this Saturday night. Jim Ross continues to put over the big card this Friday and Saturday in Houston and says the cards will be revealed after the main event… Bobby Fulton gets the chance of a lifetime… let’s go to the ring! Ted Dibiase vs Bobby Fulton -What an opportunity for Bobby Fulton tonight as he steps in the ring with one of the best in the business at this point. He and Dibiase have good styles to mix with one another. We see these two only get about 11-minutes with tv time running down to the minute and Jim Ross putting it over like crazy. We see Fulton spend some time bumping for Dibiase and making him look strong and then Dibiase returns the favor and it is Fulton who looks like a million dollars! The crowd is going wild as Fulton is looking to finish on Dibiase as we see The Blackjacks, OMG, Bundy, and Jimmy Hart come down to the ring. You can sense this one is about to break loose but here comes the Junkyard Dog, Wahoo McDaniel, ThunderBolt Patterson, Tommy Rogers, and if you can believe it… ANDRE THE GIANT! The sides are definitely even right now with Andre and the JYD. The fans are really stirring as Dibiase is looking to get something from Hart and Bundy but here comes Bill Watts. The Cowboy may be getting involved here and Dibiase falls backwards and Fulton with a school boy for the 1….2….KICK OUT! Dibiase gets up and goes for a big swing but Fulton ducks and then with a roll up for the 1….2..KICK OUT! Oh my! It was there. Ross is going absolutely nuts on commentary and Fulton hits the ropes and goes for a cross body but Dibiase grabs him and HOT SHOT OFF THE TOP ROPE! Fulton is grasping his throat and then Dibiase grabs him for a PILEDRIVER! 1….2….3!! Dibiase has won it and here comes his men to attack Fulton but we see the JYD lead a charge against them! Andre and the One Man Gang are throwing and the fans are going nuts. Dibiase is trying to sneak out and he is backing up the aisle… wait just a moment… -HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN IS HERE! HACKSAW DUGGAN! HE TURNS DIBIASE AROUND AND JUST NAIL HIM WITH A HUGE RIGHT HAND! HE SENDS DIBIASE REELING BACK TO THE RING AS JYD, ANDRE, WAHOO, THUNDERBOLT, AND THE FANTASTICS CLEAR THE RING! JYD gets on the microphone and says this is his third man and if Dibiase and his boys want to do the thing then they need to get in the ring and do the thing right now as the fans go wild! Jim Ross puts over this Friday night in Houston… fans this is an event you can’t afford to miss!

Hey guys, I know it is a menial task... but do you think in the future with things like this you could post it in the promotion's sub-board? I have to work with Helmet every time to clean up the stuff since none of us have admin powers and while this is important, let's try to keep these things in promotions to promote a show. That way the main page of this can be used for business like the rosters and freelancers and such. Just a small request. Other than that... looks like that phone call from the NWA meeting paid off as a way to try and combat what we set up. Good work.
