The tournament was so well done. So many little details that made it so exciting. The attacks by Ustinov on Brickhouse, Brickhouse coming back out to save Ranger Ross, the horseshoe (my favorite), the powder by Bruno, where is Cooley, AWEOSME!! I had a bad feeling that Madril was going home with the title. I could only imagine what the Fiesta Garden would have been like! I wonder what is being said in the locker room between the Armstrongs!! Interesting.

Great pick up with Ox Baker. He is so great on the mic. Check out some of his old promos. He used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid.

October 7, 1987 Episode #15 Gordon Solie: Thank you so very, very much indeed to another week of Mid-South Revolution Wrestling. I’m Gordon Solie, and it is my pleasure to be coming to you tonight from the Irish McNeil’s Boy’s Club in Shreveport, Louisiana. What a show we had this past Monday in Lafeyette as it seems that Blackjack Mulligan’s problem with the Cartel continues. Blackjack Mulligan was attacked by the Cartel in the locker room prior to his match for the Louisiana Heavyweight Title with Tully Blanchard. Let’s bring out Jose Estrada and the Cartel now to see if we can get some answers to the attack. Jose Estrada leads Taz, TNT and Koonan to the podium and the group is full of some serous faces. Gordon Solie: Mr. Estrada, I must once again ask why you seem to be so focused on attacking Blackjack Mulligan. This must be the fourth or fifth time. Jose Estrada: Again, I am El Jefe, the leader of da Cartel! And no, we don’t have a problem with Blackjack Mulligan. He has a problem with us. We have been paid mucho dinero by El Gringo Grande to put him out of wrestling. Gordon Solie: We have heard this all before, but who is this El Gringo Grande? Jose Estrada: Orale, Orale Esse, I will give you one last hint. He used to be NWA World Champion! Suddenly, Ernie Ladd comes out to the podium. Ernie Ladd: Ok, El Jefe, I must admit that so far, I am a fan of your work. I mean, you have definitely made Mid-South Revolution Wrestling very excited as we do not know what is going to happen next. The crowd begins to boo… Jose Estrada: Gracias Senior Ladd. Glad Da Cartel can be of service. Ernie Ladd: Well that is exactly what I am here to talk about. Service… You see… I’m paying Blackjack Mulligan very well to wrestle against some of the biggest names in Mid-South and you and your ….. amigos… seem to have stopped that from happening. I understand you are all about the “dinero” as you say, but so am I. Jose Estrada: Not sure I follow? Ernie Ladd: Oh you will follow… you will follow me right to the ring this Monday night right here at the Municipal Auditorium in Shreveport and you will face Blackjack Mulligan, one on one inside of the ring where the paying customers can actually see you fight! The crowd stops booing and begins to cheer as they are ready for Mulligan to get his revenge. Usually, when heels are given such info, they begin to complain and protest but El Jefe actually thanks Ladd for making it easier for him to collect his dinero. The Cartel head off backstage as Ladd, who seems satisfied with his decision turns the show back over to Gordon Solie. Gordon Solie: Wow, I think both El Jefe and Blackjack Mulligan are looking forward to this Monday. As for tonight’s show, we have a lot of great action instore for you tonight. Brian Adams will be taking on Killer Brooks. Colonel Buckley’s massive monsters, Nord “The Barbarian & The Mighty Goliath will be taking on Action Jackson & The Italian Stallion. The Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff has his hands full tonight as he faces Baron VonRaschke. Tully Blanchard defends his Louisiana Heavyweight Title against Scott Mcghee and in the main event, Rick Steiner takes on Terry Gordy! That and much, much more. This is going to be a really exciting hour so let’s get to the ring. MATCH The 6’6, 300-pound Brian Adams defeats Killer Brooks with a Spin Kick to the jaw Adams seems to be getting over with the fans, but the cheers quickly turn to boos as Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert come to the ring. Adams quickly gets into a fighting stance, but Gilbert puts his hands up to show he comes in peace. Gilbert and Missy Hyatt close in on Adams and start to talk to Adams. Without a mic, Gordon Solie and the crowd have no idea what is going on. Adams doesn’t seem happy at first, but the negative facial expressions slowly change to one of uncertainty. Eventually, Gilbert and Missy Hyatt leave Adams alone in the ring as Adams is left pondering. Gordon Solie: All I can say is that I have learned not to trust Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt. I hope Brian Adams knows that too. We’ll be right back. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICAL AUDITORIUM MATCH Nord “The Barbarian & The Mighty Goliath with Colonel Buck Robley defeat Action Jackson & Italian Stallion when Nord face-planted Italian Stallion with an Inverted Suplex. The babyfaces showed they were full of fight, but the size and power of Robley’s Army was just too much. After the match, Robley warned Ernie Ladd and the rest of Mid-South Wrestling, that the longer they make his wait for a title match against the Freebirds, the more bodies that will pile up. Gordon Solie tries to explain to Robley that Ernie Ladd is not the type if man who likes ultimatums and lets Robley know that his team will have a tough test this Monday night as they will face the Spoiler and Baron VonRaschke. Robley laughs at the idea that these two over-the-hill wrestlers could give his Massive Monsters any challenge at all. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICAL AUDITORIUM When we come back from break, Gordon Solie gives us an update on Tom Prichard who was nearly killed two weeks ago by Eddie Gilbert when he tried to hang Gilbert over the top rope. Gordon let’s us know that Tom seems to be doing slightly better and has been taken out of ICU but he has a long road to recovery. MATCH: The Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff with Ivan Koloff defeats Baron VonRaschke with the Russian Sickle. Gordon Solie isn’t wrong often but he was wrong with this one. Baron had a few minutes on top in this match, but the Russian Nightmare was pretty dominate. Solie admitted that he would not be shocked to see the Mid-South title around the waist of Nikita before very long. The problems for Baron didn’t end with the Russian Sickle as Col. Buck Robley lead his army back out to the ring where Nord hit him with an Inverted Suplex and then the 450-pound Goliath came crashing down on Baron with a Giant Splash from the middle rope. The Spoiler rushed out to help his teammate but without any help from Baron, the Spoiler was soon left laying right next to Baron with similar damage done. Gordon Solie called from help from the back as he rushed us into another commercial break. Just before the screen faded to black, we could hear Robley laughing about how his team was supposed to be scared of The Spoiler and Baron. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICAL AUDITORIUM As we come out of break, Ivan and Nikita Koloff are with Gordon Solie Ivan Koloff: When is enough, enough. Again, Nikita, the unstoppable force, had Dr. Death begging for mercy in da center of da ring. He was about to win the Mid-South Title when Wahoo McDaniel came to da ring and cost us the title. Gordon Solie: Mr. Koloff, I think you have selective memory. Ivan Koloff: Solie, don’t try to change the subject with your fancy words. Gordon Solie: I’m not trying to change the subject sir but merely pointing out that it was Vladimir Petrov who had that big chain and took a swing a Dr. Death. You also seem to forget that you, yourself, Mr. Koloff hit Wahoo McDaniel with that chain to get win in your match on the same night. Ivan Koloff: Again, you still refuse to talk about why Wahoo McDaniel was at the ring during Nikita’s title match. Typical American propaganda! The Russians storm off still not seeing Solie’s point. Gordon Solie: Sometimes people can’t see the trees through the forest. Let’s get back to the ring. LOUISIANA TITLE MATCH Tully Blanchard with Dark Journey defeats Scott McGhee with the slingshot suplex after a little help from Dark Journey. Post-Match Interview Gordon Solie: Mr. Blanchard, not sure you need those tactics to win a match but that is a story for a different day. I’m sure you heard Jose Estrada Dark Journey: You mean El Jefe? Gordon Solie: Okay, El Jefe. I’m sure you heard him say that he is being paid by a former NWA Champion. You, Tully, are the only former NWA champion employed by Mid-South Wrestling. Are you still going to deny that you are El Gringo Grande? Tully Blanchard: Thank you for congratulating me on another successful defense of the Louisiana Heavyweight title. A title, I may add, that I successfully defended against Blackjack Mulligan this week in the CajunDome. Gordon Solie: A defense that was made a little easy after Mulligan was again attacked by El Jefe and the Cartel. Tully Blanchard: I believe that this interview is over. Let’s go. Gordon Solie: Mr. Blanchard looks a little like the cat who ate the mouse. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICAL AUDITORIUM Gordon Solie: Mr. Gilbert, I must ask why you, for the most part, stayed out of the 6-Man tag match with the Freebirds this past Monday and made Mr. Steiner and your younger brother, Doug, basically fight the Freebirds in a handicap match. Eddie Gilbert: As I said when Missy and I first came to Mid-South, we said our #1 priority was training young wrestlers so they can be all they can be. What better experience can Rick and Doug get then in a match than against the Freebirds. Gordon Solie: Uh huh. And what were you doing early in the show when you came to the ring to talk to Brian Adams. Missy Hyatt: Some things in Hyatt International & Hot Stuff Inc. are better kept to ourselves. I believe it is time for Rick here to show Terry Gordy just how good our training techniques are. MAIN EVENT MATCH: Rick Steiner with Missy Hyatt & Eddie Gilbert vs Terry Gordy with Michael Hayes As you could expect, this match is full of big power moves and momentum changes. As time is winding down, Gordy catches Steiner with a big should block and signals he is going for the piledriver. Missy jumps up on the apron and distracts the ref. Eddie Gilbert from behind takes the legs out from Terry Gordy. Michael Hayes hit the ring. Here comes Doug Gilbert and Buddy Roberts… Gordon Solie: Eddie Gilbert has hit the ring and goes right for the knee of Terry Gordy. Gordy is down. Michael Hayes is in the ring. Gilbert and Hayes are trading blows in the center of the ring. Haymaker after haymaker. Here comes Doug Gilbert. Right behind him is Buddy Roberts. BRO-ther, we have a Pier 6 brawl in the ring. The Freebirds vs Hott Stuff Inc. Neither side will give an inch…. Now wait just a minute…. Here comes Brian Adams. What is he doing here… Oh my… Adams has just connected with a Spin Kick to the temple of Terry Gordy and he is down. It is 4 against 3 and lets not forget Missy Hyatt who is clawing at the eyes of Michael Hayes… Folks we are out of time. Make sure to join us right here in Shreveport this Monday night for another great show. So long from the Pelican State. MONDAY NIGHT AT THE SHREVEPORT MUNCIPAL AUDITORIUM Action Jackson vs The New Spoiler Scott McGhee vs Moondog Rex Col. Buck Robley’s Army (Nord “The Barbarian & Mighty Goliath) vs The Spoiler & Baron VonRashke Blackjack Mulligan vs Jose Estrada 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH The Freebirds vs Hot Stuff Inc. (Eddie Gilbert, Brian Adams & Rick Steiner) LOUSIANA TITLE MATCH Tully Blanchard vs Junkyard Dog STEEL CAGE MATCH Wahoo McDaniel & Dr. Death vs The Koloffs

Medusa with a HUGE win! Medusa better be ready!!! Her comes Richter. The big 4 go round and round. You really know how to sell tickets. Singh and Bennett are one tough team. I am always surprised when they lose. They might keep the titles a while. Fun Big Show.

NO.... it can't be the last time for Lawler vs Rich!!! One More Time!!! Thought that was the best Beauty Shop yet!! Where is Morrow? $20 not well spent. lol Snuka being real honest... My friendship with Colon ended a long time ago!! I think he is going to hate Gagne like he does Iaukea really soon. Idol vs Keirn is one of my favorite and most believable feuds in the game right now. This could be your main event for months and you would be printing money!! AWA is always such a great read. Thanks!!

Looking forward to the Twin States Tournament. So many great matches that I have no idea who will get out of the first round, never mind win the title. Again, the highlight for me was all the great promos. Shaska, Tiger, Al Madril with Humperdink, The Rich cousins, Bruno etc... These really tell an awesome story and then the back and forth between Platt, BB and Valiant. It is the perfect Soap Opera for men. Great show Can't wait to see the mystery partner for Billy Travis!!

Simmons vs Sid and Backlund vs Owen are such interesting and different types of matches that it goes to show you that if you go to a PCW event, there is something for everyone. Nice job creating this type of roster.

Mid-South Revolution Wrestling The Cajun Dome Lafayette, Louisiana Monday October 2, 1987 Bell Time: 7pm Action Jackson wrestled Mean Mike Miller to a 10-minute draw. Action Jackson, a near 275-pound black man, handled himself quite well for a newcomer and showed some really great athleticism for a man his size as he connected with a big dropkick just as the match ended. Nord “The Barbarian” & Mighty Goliath defeated Pork Chop Cash & JT Southern with a double giant splash on Southern. TEXAS TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCH Ivan Koloff & Vlad Petrov defeated Wahoo McDaniel & JYD when the ref became distracted and Ivan hit Wahoo with the Russian Chain. LOUISIANA TITLE MATCH Tully Blanchard © with Dark Journey defeated Blackjack Mulligan with a top rope knee drop. The problems for Mulligan seemed to start way before the match even began as he staggered to the ring with blood dripping down his face. Tully and Dark Journey were all smiles as the big man came to the ring and tripped on his way in. 6 MAN TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH The Freebirds defeated Hot Stuff Inc with Missy Hyatt (Eddie & Doug Gilbert + Rick Steiner) when Gordy hit the piledriver on Doug Gilbert. Eddie, after his brutal attack on Tom Prichard two weeks ago, seemed to know he was the target of the Freebirds and he wanted no part of this match. Outside of a few occasions when Rick Steiner gained the momentum with a huge power move on one of the Birds, Eddie Gilbert rarely even tagged into this match and left his own brother to take a pretty big beating. LUMBERJACK MATCH FOR THE MID-SOUTH REVOLUTION TITLE: Dr. Death © vs Nikita Koloff Half the fun of a lumberjack match is watching all the babyfaces and heels on the outside go at it and this was no different here. In terms of Williams vs Nikita, this bout was a war that could have gone either way. Problem for Nikita was that he took the full blunt of the Russian Chain as Vladimir Petrov swung at Dr. Death on the outside of the ring but Wahoo came over just in time and knocked Dr. Death out of harms way just as the blow cracked into Nikita’s skull. Nikita was rolled back into the ring were Williams put an exclamation point on the match and hit the Oklahoma Stampede for the victory.

For anyway in Birmingham, this was money well spent!!! Embry out of the stands! Brickhouse needs to make the save on Ranger Ross! Rich cousins win the title! A whipping of the heels and the Stomper! Excitement at every turn. Loved it

I really enjoyed that show in the Richmond Coliseum. So many big matches with some angles coming to an end and others just getting started. I think you did an amazing job with Tom Magee and his TV run but I think you made a good choice in taking the title off of him. This title run could be used as a stepping stone for Norman Smiley. Huge win for the Killer B's over The Dirty White Boys in a Southern Streetfight. This type of match just screams White Boys but by you giving the win the the Bee's, it shows that they are ready for a big push. Nice booking. WOW... Road Warriors go down! Street and Dundee will make interesting champs to say the least. Hansen with a big win but then seems to have some new friends. This is going to be very interesting! Adonis gave it a nice shot! Wonder if he gets a rematch! Looking forward to Starrcade! Great job!

Another great week in the AWA. I am enjoying how you are so playing the feud with Larry Z. and Al Perez. I have such difficulty doing this and you make it seem so easy. This is just so realistic for the 1980's! Bill Ash is the perfect leader for the Honor Roll. He played the role of the Professor so well in real life. Could this be the end of Colon as the evil, crazy heel? Can't wait to see how this plays out. You had me a little nervous with Crippler Oliver getting a mystery partner against the Bruise Brothers! Usually mystery partners = a Win and I thought my favorite team in the game was going to lose their titles!! Borne makes a great teammate and while round one ended in a DCO, this is going to be fun to watch. Also, fun to see Rich and Baby Doll get over on Lawler one more time!!

Awesome show. I must admit that I, who know little about the actual history of Alabama, seem to think that Bob Armstrong has a good point. I mean why are these fans so quick to side with Fuller? Anyway, this is the angle I am most interested in our game today as it just seems so real and personal. be fun Bob vs Ron also seems to leave the rest of the Armstrong family in an interesting place. Looking forward to all of this. Speaking a family business? The Rich cousins seem to have an outsider stirring the pot. Another great angle that I am looking forward to. Great Fiesta Garden this week. Between Valiant, the Bullet, The Not Starr Brothers and Al MAdril, your hells are getting some BIG TIME HEAT!! I wonder if the babyfaces can stand up to all the pressure. It is going to be a great ride!

Mid-South signs Paul Ellering

The Backstory: Ernie Ladd and Bill Watts have been at war for the better part of 3 years. Ernie Ladd blames Bill Watts for his protégé, Hacksaw Butch Reed, turning on him and forcing Ladd into retirement after he lost a match to Reed where the stipulation was he must retire if Reed won. Ernie Ladd, not ready to fully step away from wrestling, quickly got his managerial license. Ladd and Watts continued their verbal war on Ted Turner’s Superstation each and every week. Ladd held nothing back as he was always ready to insult Watts along with constantly questioning his ethics. When Ladd’s tag team, Bad News Allen and Bad Bad LeRoy Brown, lost a loser-leave town match against Dick Murdoch and Rocky Johnson after Murdoch used some of the most questionable tactics you could use, Ladd had enough. Even though both he and Watts were retired from wrestling, Ladd challenged Watts to a match at Last Stand 86. When Watts agreed, the war was on! Problem for Watts was that he had made more enemies that just Ladd. Watts had recently suspended fan favorite Bruiser Brody for his feud with Black Bart. Well, Brody came into the ring and clobbered Watts during his match with Ladd. Later in January, Bill Watts had the police at the TV taping of UWF Wrestling and threatened to have Ladd and Brody arrested for trespassing. Watts claimed that Brody no longer had a contract to wrestle in the UWF. Ladd tried to explain that Brody has signed with him and Ladd is a licensed UWF manager and that was all that was needed. As the police closed in, Ladd and Brody put their heads between their legs and left; hoping to fight another day. That was the last we saw of Ladd in UWF Wrestling but weekly commercials began airing on TV discussing a Wrestling Super Event that was taking place on July 4th in Mobile titled Gauntlet for the Gold. Nobody new much about this and we knew it was not Watts promoting this as he was running his own big show on the same night in Biloxi. When July 4th came, light was shed on the situation. It was Ernie Ladd who was the man starting this new promotion, Mid-South Wrestling Revolution. Ladd actually showed up in Mobile with a bunch of coach buses. The buses pulled right up to the ticket lines for Watts event and promised everyone on line free tickets to his event along with a bus ride to and from the event! Watts came out and a full-fledged riot began in the parking lot. For the rest of the summer, the two promotions have had a war of words but only from a distance; Watts from his weekly UWF TV show on the Superstation and Ladd from his weekly Mid-South TV show also on the Superstation. Ladd has set his eyes on gaining control of Louisiana and has brought back the Louisiana Heavyweight Title. This week, Watts, in a meeting with his Board of Directors, agreed that his UWF promotion would crumble if he lost Louisiana. UWF has now agreed to focus their show on the Pelican State along with the city of Houston. While there have been territorial wars forever in professional wrestling, they have rarely been as visible to the public. Ted Turner realizes the Battle for the Bayou means ratings and he is loving every minute of this! Besides the war between Watts and Ladd, there are many other major angles in both promotions that I would like to catch everyone up on as I move forward. The Russians (Ivan & Nikita Koloff & Vladimir Petrov) vs Dr, Death Willians, JYD & Wahoo McDaniel This feud is everything 1980’s wrestling is all about. Americans vs Russians. Good vs Evil. Chian Matches, Steel Cage Matches, Dog Collar Matches and even the Mid-South title! Recently Dr. Death won the title from Jumbo Tsuruta but Nikita is clearly the #1 contender. Add in Ivan and Vlad, Dr. Death definitely needs some friends to watch his back! Luckily, you couldn’t find better friends than JYD and Wahoo! Michael Hays & The Freebirds vs The World! The Freebirds recently won a 16 tag team tournament to become the first ever Mid-South tag team champs since the territory’s rebirth. Along the way, Michael Hayes “out-cheated” all of the top heel tag teams in Mid-South. He used the chisel against Ron Wright’s Christian Wrestling Association. He found a way for Colonel Robley to use his loaded forearm brace against his own monsters, and he even out-smarted Missy Hyatt and Hot Stuff Inc. to become the champions. All three of these teams want revenge on Hayes and to take the title from the Freebirds. Ron Wright and Colonel Robley may have to wait their turn as the Freebirds have recently turned their attention on Hot Stuff Inc after the heinous treachery of Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert as they nearly took the life of former Freebird Tom Prichard by hanging him from the top rope! Gilbert said he was mad at Prichard for “making eyes” at his woman but most people think Gilbert knew that attacking Prichard was the best way to jump the line and get a tag team title shot for Rick Steiner and himself. The Cartel Recently, “El Jefe” (Jose Estrada) has arrived in Mid-South with his Cartel (Taz, TNT & Koonan). For reasons yet to be explained, they have set their sights on injuring Blackjack Mulligan. Both times they have attacked Mulligan, it has been before a match with Tully Blanchard. When asked why they attacked Mulligan, El Jefe said they will attack anyone if the price is right. El Jefe did give a hint as to who was paying them to attack Mulligan when they said they were being paid by “El Gringo Grande.” Gordon Solie has speculated that El Gringo Grande may be Tully Blanchard as he is the one who benefited from Mulligan not being able to wrestle and that Dark Journey, his valet, was recently seen giving Woman a briefcase after her man, The Barbarian attacked Canadian Strongman Bill Kazmaier just before his match with Tully Blanchard. The Louisiana Heavyweight Title This title was recently brought back by Ernie Ladd as he said it was time to bring back Mid-South Wrestling to its heyday when Louisiana and the Louisiana Title was at the center of professional wrestling. The previously mentioned Tully Blanchard recently won this title with a little help from Dark Journey and The Cartel in a Gauntlet Match. Top contenders for this title include JYD, Wahoo McDaniel, Blackjack Mulligan and Terry Gordy. Ernie Ladd has announced that the first ever Mid-South pay per view will take place on October 31st in New Orleans in the Louisiana Superdome! The Million Dollar Corporation Ted Dibiase and Sheik Adnan Al Kassie are convinced that money can fix all problems. Over the last two months the duo has brought in numerous people to try and make sure Dibiase’s stable is the best in all of wrestling. First, Dibiase hired his old Rat Pack member Matt Borne. When Borne was not quite up to snuff, Dibiase brought in Mike Rotundo and the duo did a number on Borne and sent his broken body packing. Next, Dibiase said that he had the best tag team that money could buy in Fidel Sierra and Ricky Santana. Turns out, this was money poorly spent as Dibiase has tired of them and is now in search of an even better team than money can buy. Now as Dibiase and Rotundo are all alone in the Million Dollar Corporation, it seems the babyfaces are circling. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Hercules Hernandez and Scott Steiner are after Dibiase as they know he is the most dangerous man in wrestling and would like nothing more than to send him and his money packing. If that was not enough for Dibiase to find help, he recently won a match and when he was given his bags on money, one of those bags sent him scattering as it was filled with SNAKES!!! Lex Luger: The Universal Federation Champion http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hzp7VVhNQgY/VbJE67acF6I/AAAAAAAAPcY/C7I_iQso8cE/s1600/Lex%2BLuger.jpg Luger has had an interesting year! While spending most of the year as a fan favorite, he did spend some time as a heel as he bought into promises made by Woman and joined her stable for a while. Who could blame him? I mean who could ever say no to her about anything. And let’s not forget, Woman did lead him to the title. When Woman abruptly left the UWF, Luger turned on her stable and once again became a fan favorite. So, who are the top contenders for his title; Ted Dibiase and Vader seem to be the top two at the moment. Dick Murdoch vs Big Van Vader Dick Murdoch seems to be hard to figure out lately. He was pivotal in protecting Watts from Ernie Ladd and Bruiser Brody this past spring but for some reason he turned against the fans and joined Downtown Bruno and Vader in their feud against Lex Luger. In a big match between Vader and Murdoch vs Luger and Muta, Vader seemed to bail on Murdoch. Murdoch was fuming and wanted a piece of Vader and Downtown Bruno. It is rumored that Bruno has left the UWF as he is afraid of Murdoch. Vader on the other hand is staying and is ready to fight. Talk about a feud of some tough hosses! Just To Sort Out The Roster Top Babyfaces: Top Heels Lex Luger Ted Dibiase Hacksaw Jim Duggan Big Van Vader Hercules Hernandez Mike Rotundo Dick Murdoch Scott Steiner Terry Taylor Muta *** Roster seems a little babyface heavy. Be ready for the chaos!!

All In

Thank you

Mid South adds Italian Stallion, Scott McGhee, Ken Timbs and Steve Lombardi

YESSSSSS!!!!!! Fuller vs Armstrong in Alabama. I had a feeling this was who the general was but wasn't sure. AWESOME!!!!! Still not sure if Travis is to be trusted. I admit I thought the Rich cousins were in trouble with that stipulation. Plowboy Martinez!!! I need more!!! Ranger Ross needs to get the Flag back!! Really enjoyed reading this after a long day. Just what I needed!!

All 3 are in

Great job Rain. We have been using Wrestlingdata.com and cagematch as they do list recorded matches. I think with only a few of us as writers, we would be considered the major promotions of the time and we should be looking to take the best. I would prefer to wait until we have actual match statistics from either of these two sites to enter them into Dawn of War but I will listen to majority rules here. According to those sites Tom Brandi is in Dino Casanova isn't in until 1991 Rip Sawyer not in until 1991 Chris Hamrick not in until 1990 Dr. Luther, while it says he debuted in 1988, no matches shown until 1989, would rather wait Steve Gillespie is in

Damien Kane is in. DC Drake is in Tony Stetson is in Johnny Grunge is in Both Cagematch and Wrestlingdata have Damien DeMento as starting in 1990 and don't have any matches listed before that. While I do see that wrestlingdata says Balls Mahoney debut in 1987, I see no evidence of matches until 1992 on either website. He would also only be 15 in January 1988. I vote to keep him out until 1992 but will listen to others here.

Mid-South Revolution Wrestling Riverside Centroplex Baton Rouge, Louisiana Monday September 26, 1987 Bell Time: 7pm Brian Adams defeats Killer Brooks with a SuperKick Rick Steiner with Missy Hyatt defeats Pork Chop Cash with the German Suplex Mid-South Revolution Tag Team Title Match The Freebirds (Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts) with Michael Hayes defeated The Christian Wrestlers Association (Ray “The Crippler” Stevens & The New Spoiler) with Ron Wright as the ref grabbed the arm of The Crippler as he was about to take a swing as Terry Gordy with Wright’s chisel. This distraction was all Gordy needed as he caught Stevens with a knee to the gut and followed it up with a piledriver. The New Spoiler was about to make the save but Michael Hayes had a hold of his leg while he was still on the apron. Ernie Ladd comes out and announces that due to the injuries suffered at the hands of Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt on Saturday’s TV show, Tom Prichard will not be able to participate in tonight’s Gauntlet Match for the Louisiana Title. Ladd then asks Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt to come to the ring. As the duo struts to the ring with a huge smile on their face, the crowd is nearly ready to riot. You can see the debris flying past Hot Stuff Inc. Ernie Ladd: Eddie, you know that I believe that all disputes should be settled in the ring. I am not the type of President to suspend wrestlers for what they do inside of the ring or inside the arena. Eddie Gilbert: And I would like to thank you for that. You completely understand what it is to be a professional wrestler and that sometimes things need just need to be done. I had enough of Tom Prichard thinking he could make eyes with my woman. The crowd is now white hot as Ladd seems to be taking Gilbert’s side. Ernie Ladd: But there is one thing I cannot allow in Mid-South Wrestling and that is for you to put your hands on referees. When you tossed Pee Wee Anderson head-first into the ring post, you gave him a concussion and he needed over 20 stiches to close the gash on his head. Eddie Gilbert: I understand and I do apologize for that. I was just so angry. I lost sight of who my enemy was and I was attacking whoever or whatever was around me. Ernie Ladd: Again, I understand The crowd is about to attack!! Ernie Ladd: Hold on now folks. I was about to say that I am not a man who wants to hear excuses. Eddie Gilbert you are no longer a part of the Gauntlet Match tonight! The crowd is shocked but ecstatic! They are screaming with approval. Eddie Gilbert: Now hold on just a minute. I need to wrestle tonight. Ernie Ladd: I just said you Are Not in The Gauntlet Match Tonight. I never said you weren’t wrestling tonight. Eddie Gilbert: I’m not sure I follow. Ernie Ladd: Eddie, you are wrestling and your match is starting right now! As I said, I believe things in wrestling need to be settled in the ring and you angered a lot of people of Saturday. Here comes your opponent! Michael Hayes is running down the entrance! Gilbert has a look of shock!! GRUDGE MATCH Michael Hayes vs Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt Michael Hayes flies through the ropes and is all over Eddie Gilbert. Missy Hyatt takes off in fear and runs straight back to the locker room. We will never know if Missy was afraid that Michael Hayes would attack her or if she is just afraid that he would kiss her again. Michael Hayes is stomping a mud hole in Eddie Gilbert and the fans are loving it. Rick Steiner and Doug Gilbert are rushing to the ring to save their stablemate, but Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts are right behind them. What we get is Freebird Domination! It seems like Eddie didn’t look and the possible consequences of what might happen after he attacked Tom Prichard but he, Rick Steiner and his brother were lucky to get out of this one alive. While it was a declared a No Contest, it seems Michael Hayes and the Freebirds have begun collecting their revenge on Hot Stuff Inc. SEMI-MAIN EVENT: GAUNTLET MATCH FOR THE LOUISIANA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE Wahoo McDaniel defeats Nord “The Barbarian” by count-out when Colonel Buck Robely accidently hit his own man with a loaded forearm and Nord fell through the ropes and banged his head on the steel barrier. Wahoo McDaniel outlasted “The Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff is a true No Holds Brawl. Problem for Wahoo is that Ivan clobbered him with the Russian Chain after the match as Wahoo was awaiting his next opponent. Tully Blanchard defeated Wahoo McDaniel with a slingshot suplex. Tully almost took a bloody Wahoo too lightly as he thought after Ivan hit him with the chain, he had an easy win. Wahoo got him in a roll-up but Dark Journey pulled Tully’s leg over the bottom rope. Tully was declared the winner over Blackjack Mulligan when Mulligan never made it to the ring. Later we find out that Mulligan was once again attacked by Jose Estrada and the Cartel. Tully Blanchard defeated Junkyard Dog after Dark Journy sprayed perfume in the eyes of JYD and he staggered backwards into a Slingshot Suplex. Tully Blanchard wins the Gauntlet Match and the Louisiana Heavyweight title. MAIN EVENT: MID-SOUTH REVOLUTION TITLE MATCH Steve “Dr. Death” Williams vs “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff Nikita Koloff defeated Dr. Death by DQ as Wahoo rushed to the ring to stop a double team by Ivan and Nikitia on Dr. Death as the ref was knocked down. Wahoo clobbered Ivan Koloff with the leather strap preventing Ivan from hitting Dr. Death with the Russian Chain. Wahoo then picked up the chain and hit Nikita across the back with it. Problem was that the ref saw this. No big deal as Dr. Death retains the title and the fans left happy as Dr. Death and Wahoo celebrated in the ring while the Russians were left bruised and battered on the arena floor.
