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.

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.

Thursday 8/11 Mid South Wrestling Live – Tulsa, Oklahoma – Civic Center Burrhead Jones defeated Paul Peller El Bracero defeated Pet Sanchez The German Destroyers defeated Robert & Mike Reed Don Kent defeated Jerry Brown Sweet Daddy Siki defeated Raul Castro The Fantastics defeated Israel Matia & Mad Dog Boyd Mr. Wrestling II w/ Steve O defeated Tiger Chung Lee w/ Tojo MID SOUTH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Mil Mascaras & ThunderBolt Patterson defeated The Wild Samoans via DQ when the Grand Wizard interfered!

Wednesday 8/10 Mid South Wrestling Television Taping - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - Civic Center Tune in Saturday for all the hottest action from Mid South Wrestling. This week, we will see two big tag team matches! Mike & Robert Reed taking on the German Destroyers - Kurt Von Hess & The Baron!

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?

Sunday 8/7 Mid South Wrestling Live - Chalmett, Louisiana - St. Bernard Cultural Center Sweet Daddy Siki & Burrhead Jones defeated Mike & Robert Reed El Bracero defeated Jerry Brown Steve O defeated Israel Matia Tommy Rogers & Bobby Fulton defeated Mad Dog Boyd & Raul Castro Kurt Von Hess w/ Baron Von Rachke defeated Paul Peller ThunderBolt Patterson defeated Pete Sanchez Tiger Chung Lee w/ Tojo defeated Don Kent Mil Mascaras defeated Afa Sika defeated Mr. Wrestling II MAIN EVENT The Junkyard Dog & Bruiser Brody defeated Ted Dibiase & Don Muraco w/ The Grand Wizard

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.
