Mid South Revolution release Rufus R Jones and adds Action Jackson

WOW.... Adrian Street is on a roll. Had to win the battle royal to get a title shot and then goes an hour with Flair. Really enjoying the balance in your house shows and the huge main events. This format works to make money anywhere in the country!!

Great follow up show to the big one in the Coliseum.. I must disagree with one thing... there can never be a last battle between Rich and Lawler... My favorite feud of all time can never end!!!! Bill Ash and the Honor Roll is a great idea. Love how you built this out of thin air. While I think you are doing Larry Z perfectly, my opinion of him is changing. I found him in real life to be so boring but his monotone style of talking and giant ego are growing on me. Great job!! Keirn vs Ido is great booking. I think Keirn is so underrated as a singles wrestlers and Idol can get anyone over!! Fun read as always.

Really fun show as always. Platt and Johnny V. are great together the way you are writing for them. Awesome! Barnes/Fuller and the General- Big angle for Alabama and I love how you opened and closed with it. Gives it the added attention to make it feel even bigger! Johnny & Davey Rich + Travis seems like a perfect angle that works perfectly in Alabama. These three never got huge national attention but work perfect in a place like this. You have built such a great roster for your territory. Hump and the Russians are getting the heat they deserve! While they don't need to win too many house show matches, the heat they get from TV could get all the paying customers foaming at the mouth. Fiesta Garden had me cracking again with Plowboy Martinez and Outhouse Brown! Looking forward to the development of all the great angles in Birmingham.

Gordon Solie: Thank you so very, very much indeed to another week of Mid-South Revolution Wrestling. I am Gordon Solie, and it is my pleasure to be coming to you tonight from the Irish McNeil’s Boy’s Club in Shreveport, Louisiana. We are just two days away from the big gauntlet match in Baton Rouge to crown the next Louisiana Heavyweight Champion. Already, we know that Junkyard Dog, Tully Blanchard, Blackjack Mulligan and Ivan Koloff are involved in that match and now, I would like to bring out Ernie Ladd to announce the last four entrants into the Gauntlet and also to give us a few updates on what is going on here in Mid-South Wrestling. Ernie Ladd: Things just get better and better in Mid-South Wrestling. First, did you hear that interview with Jose Estrada last week! Talk about exciting. I have no idea about half the things he was saying but telling us that he was hired by El Gringo Grande to take out Blackjack Mulligan! Wow. And people around here want me not to give him and the Cartel contracts. Are you out of your mind? This is exactly what wrestling needs. A drama… who is El Gringo Grande? Will the Cartel take out Mulligan? Will El Gringo Grande want them to take out others! This is going to be so exciting. Their all hired! Next… The Gauntlet match won’t be the only title decided on Monday in Baton Rouge. Nikita Koloff, you wanted a rematch against Dr. Death for the Mid-South Title. Well, you got it! As for the tag team titles, The Freebirds will be facing The Christian Wrestler’s Association. Gordon Solie: And as four the Gauntlet Match, who will be the last four entrants into the match… Ernie Ladd: The last four entrants into the Gauntlet Match will be Wahoo McDaniel, Tom Prichard, Eddie Gilbert and Nord “The Barbarian.” Gordon Solie: Very well indeed. That is going to be one heck of fight for the Louisiana Title. Ernie Ladd: Before I go, I heard Blowhard Bill Watts talking about how he is going to be in the business forever and he keeps making money. Well of course you are making money. That’s because you keep stealing from everyone around you. The fight for Louisiana Wrestling is on and I bet you that I will be here a lot longer than you! You talk about having even more ways to make money …. well how about you spend some of it and come see the first pay per view in this region… Halloween Havoc on October 31st in the Louisiana Superdome. Gordon Solie: Wow, it seems like another gauntlet has just been thrown down. Let’s not forget about tonight as we have a great hour instore for you. Tully Blanchard will be taking on JT Southern. The Mid-South tag team champions, the Freebirds will be in action. We will also Rick Steiner in action today as he squares off against newcomer Doug Furnas. Wahoo McDaniel will face Killer Brooks and in our main event, it will be “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff taking on “Canadian Strongman” Bill Kazmaier. That and much, much more. Let’s get to the ring. MATCH Tully Blanchard with Missy Hyatt defeats a game but inexperienced JT Southern with the Sling Shot Suplex Post-Match Interview: Gordon Solie: Tully, you seem to be on a role of late. Tully Blanchard: Of course I’m on a role. Last time I was in this god-for-saken arm pit of the world, I was the NWA World Champion and if not for Bill Watts stealing my title, I would still be the champ. Gordon Solie: Far enough but you are still not without controversy. I mean El Jefe was out here last week claiming his Cartel will do anything for money and Dark Journey was seen giving Woman a briefcase after Barbarian attacked Bill Kazmaier. Could the Cartel just be your new hired guns? Are you the El Gringo Grande that they are talking about. Dark Journey: Enough of this nonsense. Show some respect for the only man in this company to be called World Champion and after this Monday, he will be the Louisiana Heavyweight Champion, a stepping-stone to Dr. Death Steve Williams and the Mid-South title! Dark Journey puts her arm around Tully and the evil duo heads off as Gordon is not convinced that he got an ounce of truth out of that interview. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX: BATON ROUGE MATCH Rick Steiner vs Doug Furnas For all the fans in TV land, this was their first look at the powerful Doug Furnas and he didn’t disappoint as he gave a great effort but eventually fell just short as Steiner caught him in a German Suplex for the win. The interesting thing was that Missy Hyatt never made it out to the ring to manage Steiner. After Steiner had already gone to the locker room, Missy Hyatt comes out to Solie wearing large sunglasses. Missy Hyatt: (in a very low voice) Gordon, I’d like to talk to Tom Prichard. Gordon Solie: I’m not sure I follow. You’d like to talk to Tom Prichard? Missy slowly takes off her sunglasses revealing a huge black eye. Gordon Solie: Good Lord! What happened to you. Missy Hyatt: Eddie Gilbert did this to me and I need to speak to Tom Prichard right now. Gordon Solie: Ummm, ummm, I just, ummm, I’m at a total loss. Missy Hyatt: I just need to talk to Tom. Gordon Solie: Umm, let’s see. Can anyone see if Tom Prichard is in the building. Again, are you telling me that Eddie Gilbert did this to you. Missy Hyatt: Yes. Eddie thought I was helping Tom and says I wasn’t loyal to him. Eddie went into a jealous rage. He slapped me so hard I fell down and cracked my head on the table. Gordon Solie: Because you didn’t do Eddie’s dirty work last week when he wanted you to hit Tom with a chair, … You paid this kind of price? Missy Hyatt: Yes, Eddie thinks I have been flirting with Tom and he went crazy. Gordon Solie: God, you took an awful blow to the head. Has anyone found Tom Prichard yet? A studio hand comes out and whispers to Gordon that Tom Prichard refuses to come out as he is not responsible for any of this. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX: BATON ROUGE When we come back from break, Missy Hyatt comes back out and is still begging to see Tom Prichard. Gordon tries to convince here that we have a TV show to run, and our next match is set in the ring. Missy begins to cry and starts to wander to the back to find Tom Prichard. Ernie Ladd comes out and asks her to stay with Gordon during the next match and he will see if Tom Prichard will come out. MATCH: Wahoo McDaniel defeats Killer Brooks in a match that didn’t seem to know there was a rule book for the sport. In the end, Wahoo got the win with a big knee lift. After the bout JYD joins Wahoo with Gordon Solie. Both take turns hyping up the Gauntlet Match this week for the Louisiana Heavyweight Title while also trying to console Missy Hyatt. Both JYD and Wahoo try to convince her that a real man would never lay their hands on a woman and she needs to get away and stay away from Eddie forever. JYD and Wahoo are fuming that someone would do this to a woman. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX: BATON ROUGE Ernie Ladd has returned with Tom Prichard who addresses Missy Hyatt Tom Prichard: Missy Hyatt, I don’t understand what’s going on here. First you have Gordon Solie send someone to the back looking for me and next thing I know, Ernie Ladd is telling me to come talk to you. It looks to me like you and Hot Stuff got some personal problems lady! And wait just a minute, I told you a long time ago, that you didn’t need to be hanging around with Eddie Gilbert because that guy was nothing more than a jealous hothead. I told you that he would blame you every time he made a mistake. Now, I’m not condoning nothing and you look like you are in pretty bad shape … and I wouldn’t hit a woman cause I think it’s just totally wrong to ever put your hands on a lady …. but Missy Hyatt: Eddie… was… uh… he was. He got me mad. He started saying things… He said I was nothing but a flirt…. The type of girl nobody would ever bring home to Mama. Tom Prichard: Again, not sure what you want me to do. Missy Hyatt: Please Tom. You know what I think of you. You know how much I like you. You know… I…. uh… need you! Tom Prichard: Whoaaa, just because you got a thing for me doesn’t mean I am the type of guy who goes around stealing other people’s girls. You made your bed and now you need to lie in it. Missy Hyatt: Please Tom. Please Tom. I need someone who will protect me. I need someone who will treat me right. I need… you! The two go back and forth and little by little Tom Prichard starts to give in. We all must admit that Missy can be very convincing. In the end, it seems like Missy has convinced Tom to not only help here now but to be her future Knight in shining armor. Missy and Tom begin a long embrace… WHAM… from behind, Eddie Gilbert clobbers Tom Prichard in the back with a chair. Missy Hyatt is jumping up and down laughing the biggest laugh you have seen in a long time. Eddie Gilbert picks up Prichard and throughs him through the big Mid-South cut-out that is behind Gordon Solie. Both Gilbert and Missy Hyatt are kicking away at Prichard. An official rushes out to try and stop it but he is rammed head first into the ring post. Eddie returns with some type of electrically cord and ties it around Gilberts neck and then drags him all across the set with Missy kicking him the entire time. Eventually Gilbert drags Prichard all the way to the ring and starts to hang him over the top rope. Gordon Solie: WE HAVE TO GET SOME HELP DOWN HERE! WE HAVE TO GET SOME HELP! Tom appears that he may have ruptured something in his throat. WE HAVE TO GET SOME HELP! Prichard is in uh, he is in a world of trouble. Oh thank goodness. Here comes JYD and Wahoo McDaniel. They have hit the ring and finally, Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt have running out of here. Those two are the Devil reincarnated. Everyone watches on in horror as Tom is released from his noose as he crumbles to the crowd as he is foaming at the mouth. Eventually, we seem him stretchered out of the arena. The camera spans the audience and we see woman and children both hysterically crying. Gordon Solie: We have to take a break. I’m just sick over what I saw. *** idea stolen from CCW 1988 *** COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX: BATON ROUGE Gordon Solie: Folks, I’m going to do my best to continue the show but after what I just saw, I am just sick to my stomach. Let’s just get to the ring. MATCH: The Freebirds make quick work of the Mulkey Brothers with the end coming from the Oriental Spike by Gordy on Randy. Post-match interview: Michael Hayes: It’s amazing brother how fast things can change in this world! For the past few weeks, The Freebirds have been the hunted baby! From Colonel Robley and his lost band of thieves to Ron Wright and his group of uglies to Jonathan Boyd and his band of toothless Neanderthals… Everyone wants a piece of the Freebirds and don’t worry, we will take care of each you in due time but now… NOW we bringing BAD STREET ON THE ROAD. EDDIE GILBERT…. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU. Once a Freebird, always a Freebird. What you did to our brother Tom will be revenged… revenged the Freebird way! Both Buddy Roberts and Terry Gordy seem to angry to speak and the trio walks off… Gordon Solie: I have known Michael Hayes a long, long time and I admit that I don’t always agree with him, but he just said a mouthful. Revenge is not always my cup of tea but right now I’m looking for a whole pot of it! Let’s get to the ring for our Main Event MAIN EVENT MATCH “The Russian Nightmare” with Ivan Koloff defeats Canadian Strongman Bill Kazmaier with the Russian Sickle. Kazmaier did his best here but seemed just a little off as Solie thought he might be still feeling the ill-effects of the attack by the Barbarian. That being said, this was Nikita at his best! He took all the power moves from Kazmaier and kept responding with big move after big move. In the end, the Sickle took the big man down! Solie kept reminding everyone that the title match this week between Dr. Death and Nikita was going to be a heck of a match. He also reminded everyone that Dr. Death has never defeated Nikita Koloff. The incident with Gilbert and Prichard left the show with little time but it ended with Nikita screaming Steve Williams’s name while he gave the throat-slashing sign. Gordon Solie: Folks, this was one of the most difficult hours I have ever spent on a wrestling show. Please join me in sending prayers to Tom Prichard. Trust me when I saw that he is going to need them. That being said, the show must go on. Make sure to join us in Baton Rouge on Monday night as we will crown a new Louisiana Heavyweight Champion along with seeing title defenses from Dr. Death and the Freebirds. So long from the Pelican State. MONDAY NIGHT IN THE RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX Brian Adams vs Killer Brooks Rick Steiner with Missy Hyatt vs Porkchop Cash MID-SOUTH TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Freebirds © vs The Christian Wrestler’s Association GAUNTLET MATCH FOR THE LOUISIANA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE Blackjack Mulligan vs Ivan Koloff vs Eddie Gilbert vs Wahoo McDaniel vs Nord “The Barbarian” vs JYD vs Tom Prichard vs Tully Blanchard MID-SOUTH TITLE MATCH “Dr. Death” Steve Williams © vs “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff

Well done Rain! I enjoyed the opening bout as both men had something to prove. Could this be the start of a bit of stuggle to see who eventually comes out on top? Like the family feud of the Harts vs the Sawyers-again, we could see a lot if this one down the road. The young talent is coming along nicely and well add to the depth of PCW in 88

I like the idea that right now your titles might be secondary to your biggest feud which I believe is Moretti and Micelli. I think in this way you add some level of importance to you upper mid-card and semi-main event matches by including a title in those bouts. This allows you to have 3 or 4 huge matches on every card and sell extra tickets. Nice booking!

Big shift of gears this week for the AWA as we move on from the Coliseum to whatever is next. So many new and interesting things have started over the past few weeks. I HATE Greg Gagne and now I hate Mike George. This is a great was to add some energy to the building in the middle of the card. Speaking of Hate and Gagne, I guess I know hate Bruce Hart. Good way to get him some heat in just a few minutes. I also like the changeup of bringing in the Professor. No matter who uses this type of gimmick, they always get heat and I am sure Ash will be the same. I think it was smart to keep Colon and Snuka going. This one still has a lot of juice! The fact that you have kept us all interested in Gerry Morrow every week for months without anyone knowing where he is has been fun and annoying to read each week. WHERE IS HE! Well I guess we will have a clue soon. Great slow play booking. Poor DJ Peterson! Great transition show!

Very interesting week here in the NWA... Shock of the year maybe... Hawk passes out to a hold by Street! Nice job. I wonder if there will be more to this one later. Nice job with the newcomers coming in and getting some wins.

Awesome event. I think you were the one to bring the Four Corner Tag match to Dawn of War and I enjoyed the newest one here a lot. I had a feeling the Rich cousins were in trouble when Travis came out to offer "moral" support. I must admit that I have tried to copy a lot of how I do shows from you. I enjoy the simple, to the point idea of the matches with the promos, show hosts and chaos being the center of your weekly production. Great to have you back!

Jarrett and Eddie G are two of my all-time favorites. Loved the opening match.

Finally an answer from Watts! MID-SOUTH is waiting! Murdoch vs Vader is a great feud! The winner will be ready for big things. Enjoyed the promos by Benoit and Embry! Can't wait for the SNAKE

Rapides Parrish Coliseum Alexandria, Louisiana Monday September 19, 1987 Bell Time: 7pm Doug Furnas defeats Killer Brooks in the battle of Mid-South newcomers when he was able to survive the dirty tactics of Brooks at hit a big spinebuster. Nord “The Barbarian” with Colonel Buck Robley Ron Wright defeated Rufus “Freight Train” Jones with a face-first powerslam. Anyone who knows anything about Rufus knows he is ready for a fight at any time. This is one fight that Rufus should have not taken again. Nord was just a monster!! Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt defeated JT Southern with the Hot Shot in a pretty one-sided bout. Tom Prichard defeated Moondog Rex with the powerbomb after he ducked under Rex’s attempt to clobber him with the dog bone. While the match was good, it was the entrance that everyone in the arena was talking about. Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt seemed to linger a bit after the match as they strutted around and antagonized the fans. This caused Prichard to be walking out while Gilbert was heading to the locker room. Gilbert and Prichard had a few choice words for each other but when Gilbert caught Missy staring in a flirtatious was at Prichard, Gilbert started yelling at Missy. Prichard had a good chuckle which angered Gilbert more who now was pushing Missy to the locker room. Texas Tornado Match: Crippler Ray Stevens & The New Spoiler with Ron Wright defeated The Spoiler & Baron Von Raschke in another match in this on-going feud. Ron Wright took advantage of the chaos and chiseled Baron which allowed Stevens to hit the Piledriver for the win. Tully Blanchard with Dark Journey defeated “Canadian Strongman” Bill Kazmaier with a roll-up and a grab of the tights in a match where Tully showed ring-experience and smarts is more important that pure power. SEMI-MAIN EVENT: MID-SOUTH TAG TEAM TITLE The Freebirds (Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts) with Michael Hayes vs The Commonwealth (The Sheepherders) with Lord Jonathan Boyd While there are numerous teams calling for a title shot and a match with the Freebirds, the Commonwealth, their old enemies, got the first shot. This back-and-forth match could have gone either way but ended in a win by Count-out for the Sheepherders when Ron Wright’s Christian Wrestlers Association tried to get their ounce of revenge on Michael Hayes and attacked him outside the ring causing the other Freebirds to rush to his aid. MAIN EVENT: TRIPLE DOG COLLAR MATCH JYD, Wahoo McDaniel & “Dr. Death” Steve Williams vs Ivan & Nikita Koloff & Vlad Petrov It is possible that Tod Gordon, the founder of ECW, was in the audience tonight as the violence of this match seemed like a precursor to what came out of Philly in a few years. All 6 man were bloodied about two minutes into the match and the momentum changes came fast and furious. As soon as someone went down, it led to a numbers advantage somewhere. The end came when Dr. Death ducked under a limbo stick of Chains held by Ivan and Vald and then, after catapulting off the ropes, Williams caught the duo in a chain-filled clothesline. Now the fan favorites were able to finish off Nikita in a 3-1 attack and then drag the Russians around to all four corners of the ring.

Can't wait for the big one in Birmingham! Al Madril is back... That is going to be an awesome addition to Dawn of War. Boni Blackstone is also a nice addition... Surprised we have not seen more use of her in our game. Mike Jackson, The Rich's, Mr. Olympia, Cooley, Fuller etc.... you have made this the perfect Twin States Wrestling roster in no time at all. The credits are adding an extra laugh to your show... Suitable Suits of Dothan!! lol Glad your back brother.

He is in. I will add him

SEPT. 17 EPISODE 11 Gordon Solie: Thank you so very, very much indeed to another week of Mid-South Revolution Wrestling. I am 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 crazy week it has been here in Mid-South as we are still trying to rap our heads around the attack by Jose Estrada and his gang last week on Blackjack Mulligan. Also, the feud between The Russians, JYD, Wahoo McDaniel and Dr. Death reached new heights this past Monday at the Municipal Auditorium in Shreveport. Here to talk about those issues and with two big announcements is Mid-South President, Ernie Ladd. Ernie Ladd: First, I know that everyone wants Jose Estrada and the Russians suspended for their actions this past week, but as I announce my decision on those issues, I want everyone here today to ask themselves, should I suspend Junkyard Dog when he interfered in the title match this week between Nikita Koloff and Dr. Death. Should I strip the Mid-South tag team title away from the Freebirds for the actions of Michael Hayes at the Turnes Cup. I bet I know your answers to those questions. I have said over and over again that here in Mid-South we let the officials officiate and our differences are settled in the ring. Why did Jose Estrada attack Blackjack Mulligan? I have no idea, but I am looking forward to hearing his answer later in the show. If his answer makes Mid-South Wrestling more exciting… he is hired! If I was to suspend the Russians would that make our show better? Heck no! You people tune in to see matches like Dr. Death against Nikita or JYD vs Ivan Koloff in a Dog Collar Match. I will admit that the feud between these groups might be reaching a dangerous level and I have an idea of how to solve that issue. Gordon Solie: Fair enough. Anything else Mr. President. Ernie Ladd: Gordon… we have two huge events to announce to all our fans. First, one week from this Monday night in the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge, there is going to be an 8 Man Gauntlet match to crown the next Louisiana Heavyweight Champion. Four of those eight wrestlers will be identified tonight. Also, Halloween, one of the biggest nights in Wrestling is just around the corner and I have just secured the Superdome for Mid-South Wrestling’s first ever pay per view. What better place for a Halloween Extravaganza then in the city of Voodoo… This event is Halloween Havoc. Gordon Solie: Well, there you have it folks. Mid-South Wrestling just keeps getting better and better and tonight will be no different. We have another tremendous show instore for you this hour. Ron Wright and his Christian Wrestlers Association will be in action. The Canadian Strongman, Bill Kazmaier is back in action after his injury. Tully Blanchard will be taking on Porkchop Cash. We will be hearing from The Freebirds in the hour and as Ernie Ladd promised, we will also be hearing from Jose Estrada. The Mighty Goliath with Colonel Buck Robley will be in a handicap match taking on 2 men and in the main event, it will be The Doctor of Desire, Tom Prichard will be taking on Rick Steiner with Missy Hyatt. It looks like the time-keeper is set for our first match. Let’s go to the ring. MATCH “The Crippler” Ray Stevens & The New Spoiler with Ron Wright defeat John Lathen & Bill Tab after The New Spoiler forced John Lathem to submit to the Over the Shoulder Backbreaker. Post-Match Interview: Gordon Solie: Mr. Wright, that was a nice win for your team. Ron Wright: Stop it Solie. That match was a massacre. That match was a waste of our time. Where’s Baron Von Raschke at? …. Where’s The Spoiler at? And Most important… Where are the Freebirds and their head sodomite, Michael Hayes. It seems every time The Christian Wrestlers Association is around, the heathens run away. How are we to do our job and cleans Mid-South of all the garbage if the scum of the earth run and hide. Gordon Solie: That will be about enough of that. Ron Wright: Is it my fault you don’t like the truth Solie. Gordon Solie: Good Day gentlemen. We need to take a break. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RAPIDES PARRISH COLISEUM IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA MATCH “Canadian Strongman” Bill Kazmaier defeats Larry Lathem with a thrashing Bearhug In a quick post-match interview Solie welcomes Kazmaier back to action after he was attacked by the Barbarian in the parking lot. After reminding the crowd that Dark Journey was seen giving Woman a briefcase after the attack, Solie as Kazmaier if he thought Tully Blanchard was behind the attack. Kazmaier simply asked Gordon… “What do you think?” When Solie simply shook his head in agreement, Kazmaier promised revenge against Blanchard. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RAPIDES PARRISH COLISEUM IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA MATCH: Tully Blanchard with Dark Journey defeats Porkchop Cash with the slingshot suplex in a back-and-forth match that helped to prove that Tully and Dark Journey might be the dirtiest couple in wrestling. Gordon Solie: Tully, I can’t say I approve of your tactics, but you have been on a role of late. People are starting to wonder if you are behind the attack last week on Blackjack Mulligan by Jose Estrada and his men. Tully Blanchard: This is ridiculous. First, that wanna-be wrestler Bill Kazmaier gets jumped by the Barbarian and you people blame me. Now Blackjack Mulligan gets jumped by a group of Spanish guys I have never seen in my life, and you are blaming me. Gordon Solie: I just seems like a strange coincidence that both of these attacks occurred just minutes before your match with Bill Kazmaier and Blackjack Mulligan. Tully Blanchard: Gordon, have you seen me beat Kazmaier or whatever his name is in the last few weeks? Gordon Solie: Yes Tully Blanchard: Have you seen me beat Mulligan just a few days ago at the Turner Cup? Gordon Solie: Yes but Tully Blanchard: No buts… I have beaten both of those clows and I will beat them again. I have no need to have people do my work. I am the best wrestler in Mid-South Wrestling and I will prove it! Gordon Solie: Well, you will have a chance to do that this week in Alexandria as you are taking on The Canadian Strongman. Dark Journey: And I promise you that Tully will win. Dark Journey gives Tully a little peck on the check and the confident duo struts off. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RAPIDES PARRISH COLISEUM IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA MATCH: The Mighty Goliath with Colonel Buck Robley defeats Allen Martin & Cougar Jay after a double Giant Splash with Martin and Jay stacked on top of each other During the quick post-match interview, Colonel Buck Robley continued to sing the praises of both his men, Mighty Goliath and Nord “The Barbarian” but his real focus was to call out Michael Hayes and the Freebirds. Just like Ron Wright, he pointed out that the Freebirds never seem to be here when he is. Once Robley left, Jose Estrada and his men come to the podium. Gordon Solie: Mr. Estrada, a lot of people around here want to hear what you have to say about why you and your men are here and why did you attack Blackjack Mulligan. Jose Estrada: Orale vata! Orale! First of all Gordon Solie, I go by El Jefe…. For all you gringos here today that means I’m the boss… the leader… the one with the power. I’m the head of the Cartel. The most dangerous group in wrestling! Let me introduce you to mi amigos! Dis hombres behind me do as I tell them to and trust me brother, they are capable of doing anything I ask. Dis is Taz… short for the Tazmanian Devil! He is like a whirlwind of danger! Dis is TNT… He’s going to explode on anything I tell him to. Dis is Koonan…. As in a barbarian! Gordon Solie: Mr. Estra, um El Jefe, that still doesn’t tell me why you are here and why you attacked Blackjack Mulligan. El Jefe: Orale, Orale. The only reason why the Cartel does anything is for di dinero man, di dinero. Gordon Solie: Are you saying you received money for attacking Blackjack Mulligan? El Jefe: Si, Senor. Si! Gordon Solie: And who paid you? El Jefe: Ahhhh! The million dollar question! El Gringo Grande paid us. El gringo grande! All of a sudden, all of the members make some hand signals and shout… Crime Life 4 Ever and then they walk off. Gordon Solie: I think I have more questions now then before the Cartel came out here. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ RAPIDES PARRISH COLISEUM IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA Gordon Solie: Folks, during our break, I was handed this piece of paper with the first 4 entrants into the Gauntlet Match for the Louisiana Heavyweight Title in two weeks in Baton Rouge. They are Junk Yard Dog, , Ivan Koloff, Blackjack Mulligan, and Tully Blanchard. Wow… this is shaping up to be one great field. Before our next match, Eddie Gilbert, Missy Hyatt and Rick Steiner join Gordon Solie where the focus of Hot Stuff Inc. focuses on how they are going to get even with The Freebirds for the Ted Turner Cup. When Solie asks Missy if there is anything between her and “The Doctor of Desire” Tom Prichard. Missy looks like this is a topic that she doesn’t want to talk about while Eddie Gilbert gets right in Solie’s face and tells him that any woman would be out of their mind giving Gilbert the time of day when he she already has the hot stuff! MAIN EVENT MATCH: Rick Steiner with Eddie Gilbert & Missy Hyatt vs “The Dr. of Desire” Tom Prichard This match had all kinds of tension as Missy seemed to not even want to make eye contact with Prichard as she feared what Eddie might do. As for the match, Steiner held a lot of the momentum as his power moves left Prichard in trouble but give Prichard his due as he fought back after each suplex or slam. The match got a lot wild as Pee Wee Anderson was the landing spot for Prichard on another suplex by Steiner. With the ref down, Eddie ordered Rick Steiner to hold Gilbert while he gave a chair to Missy to clobber Eddie. It seemed Missy was having an internal battle with herself on what to do. She actually begged Eddie to not make her do it but he demanded! WHAM! Prichard slipped away at the last minute and Missy clobbered Steiner. Eddie was fuming and yelling at Missy. Missy ran off with Eddie still in hot pursuit! Prichard covered Steiner just as Pee Wee Anderson recovered to make the 3-count. A huge win for Prichard. After the ring has cleared out, the Freebirds come to the ring and Michael Hayes has a microphone… Michael Hayes: Everybody says where are the Freebirds brother! Where is Michael Hayes at! Well Brother, now that Mid-South has returned to Louisiana, the Freebirds have been partying down in New Orleans. All the pretty ladies over in the French quarter been saying Who Dat sexy fella every time I’m on town. I tell them that’s Sexy Michael Hayes the baddest maama jamma from Bad Street Atlanta! Now that I come back to Mid-South Wrestling, all I hear is there are a bunch of people talking about how they want to walk down Bad Street. Brother, they don’t want no piece of the Freebirds. They just jealous! I mean I out chiseled Ron Wright at the Christian Wrestling Association. I loaded my forearm wrap better then the Private Buck Robley. And I definitely out kissed Missy Hyatt more than Eddie Gilbert ever has. All of a sudden, the crowd starts to stir… Gordon Solie: Oh I think trouble is on the way… The Christian Wrestling Association is on the way out followed by Col. Robley and his army. Each group takes one side of the ring and surrounds the Freebirds… Just as they are entering the ring, Gordon Solie: bro-THER, The Freebirds may be in some trouble now! Folks, I am really sorry to do this now, but we are out of time. Mid-South Wrestling promises to keep the cameras rolling and we will let you know what happens right here next week. If you are anywhere near Alexandria this Monday, make sure you get to the Rapides Parrish Coliseum for another great Mid-South event. So long from the Pelican State.

And Paul Bearer has risen!!

Great card. I see some really good records in those season standings. Anything could happen!

WOW!!! Tough week for Dillion... Clean win for Flair over Arn and Dusty over Ole! Also enjoying the role of Hansen. Good work giving a nice balanced card. We see openers like Slinker and Pride, great midcard matches like Good n Plenty vs Dirty White Boys and the Studd Stable vs The Killer Bees + some big main events at the end of the night. Great job

Mid-South Revolution Wrestling Municipal Auditorium Shreveport, Louisiana Monday September 12, 1987 Bell Time: 7pm JT Southern pinned Doug Gilbert with Missy Hyatt following a top rope missile dropkick. Southern escaped the ring before Eddie Gilbert could enact some revenge. Tag Team Match: Mighty Goliath & Nord “The Barbarian” defeated Rufus “Freight Train” Jones & Porkchop Cash following an Avalanche Splash by the 450-pound Goliath. Ray “The Crippler” Stevens with Ron Wright defeated Baron Von Raschke after The Crippler followed up Wright’s chisel strike with the Bombs Away. REMATCH FROM THIS WEEK’S TV SHOW Tom Prichard defeated Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt after Gilbert went nuts following a little flirting between Prichard and Hyatt. Gilbert repeatedly clobbered Prichard with a chair. The chaos continued when Michael Hayes hit the ring and went toe to toe with Prichard in the center of the ring. It seems like Missy Hyatt is in a bit if a love triangle. Eddie loved Missy. Michael Hayes loves Hyatt and who knows what is going on between Hyatt and Prichard. Terry Gordy vs Rick Steiner is a continuation of the Hot Stuff-Freebird Feud that is a result of Michael Hayes kissing Missy at the Turner Cup and the Freebirds defeating Gilbert and Steiner. Tonight, Hayes accompany Gordy to the ring and Gilbert joins Missy and Steiner. There is as much action on the outside as on the inside. Gilbert and Hayes seem to be brawling on the outside from the second the bout started. As for the ring, Steiner held his own and hit Gordy with some big moves but couldn’t put the big man down. Eventually, Gordy is able to nail the piledriver for the win. There are so many people after Michael Hayes right now, that he better sleep with one eye open! Tully Blanchard with Dark Journey defeats Wahoo McDaniel with a roll up and a fistful of tights following an eye rake by Dark Journey. Wahoo went after Tully after the bout but the evil duo escaped in the nick of time. SEMI-MAIN EVENT: DOG COLLAR MATCH: JYD vs “The Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff A bloody JYD defeats a bloody Ivan Koloff as JYD gets some measure of revenge for the Pearl Harbor job Ivan pulled at the Turner Cup when Ivan clocked JYD after the match with his Russian chain. MAIN EVENT MID-SOUTH REVOLUTION TITLE MATCH: Dr. Death Steve Williams © vs Nikita Koloff “Dr. Death” Steve Williams defeated Nikita Koloff by DQ after Ivan Koloff attacked Dr. Death with the chain. This lead to a big 6 man brawl as Vladimir Petrov rushed in to help the Russians as JYD and Wahoo McDaniel came to the aid of the champ.

You two always made a great duo for Dawn of War!!

Mid South Revolution adds Killer Brooks

Great event with so much going on. I like how you called on previous injuries and things to help develop the matches. I kept thinking Billy Jack Strong was going to beat Bully as you kept mentioning the shoulder. Booking is one thing but writing it in a forum like ours it is often had to paint a picture of what is going on but you did an awesome job! I have always hated Greg Gagne and now I hate him even more! Great booking once again! Mike George has risen from the scrap heap to champion... Good for him! I'm really interested to see what is next for Iaukea. He and Colon have been so violently successful here for the last year or so. Will it continue? Frenchy is "having a meltdown." That cracked me up. Having Bad News go over Steamboat really solidifies him as a champion. This match had me wondering what was going to happen ever since you announced it. Steamboat is BIG TIME.... Now Bad News is BIGGER TIME! Can't wait to see what's next. WAR GAMES... so well written... awesome match.... all the fans go home happy! Great job. So where is Gerry Morrow? And we are on to Pay Per View!!! The future is here!

Really good show with the stars getting sone great shine! UWF and its first big show was a big hit! After a card like this, you might want to think about a tag title, you had so many great tag matches tonight that were really well written. Embry vs Benoit is a great midcard feud. Embry is perfect to help build Benoit. Nice work finding the 450 by Steiner. Great surprise finish! Can't wait to hear from Bruno. Murdoch is fuming but he better be ready for Vader!! There goes Borne, here comes the Snake!!!

EPISODE #10 Sept. 10. 1987 Gordon Solie: Thank you so very, very much indeed to another week of Mid-South Revolution Wrestling. I am 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 week it has been for Mid-South Revolution Wrestling as the Revolution championship changed hands, not once but twice last weekend and we also crowned the first ever Mid-South Tag Team Champions, the Freebirds! If I must say, The Ted Turner Cup might have been the most exciting weekend in our wrestling history. First, it was Jumbo Tsuruta defeating “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff to win the title but unfortunately for him, the Koloffs attacked him after the match and he was a little banged up for his match the next night against Dr. Death Steve Williams. Dr. Death outlasted a valiant Jumbo and captured the title he has been hunting for a couple of months now. Let me bring in the head of Revolution Wrestling, Ernie Ladd. Ernie Ladd: First, I want to congratulate all of our new champions after the Turner Cup but I am really out here to speak on some other topics. You may have noticed our new introduction to the show or depending how long you have been a fan, it might have seemed like the old introduction back when Bill Watt’s ran Mid-South Wrestling. Well, anyway, we are going back to our roots. We are going back to being Mid-South Wrestling! Some may say that is Bill Watt’s old promotion. Well, I say that is when wrestling was the King of Sports. Bill Watts got too big for his own britches; both figuratively and literally. Mid-South Wrestling was too small for Watts. Watts had to go out and join the NWA. Then Watts had to stage a coup and steal the NWA from Sam Munchnick. Next thing you know, the NWA isn’t big enough for Watts. He goes and creates The Universal Wrestling Federation. Enough is enough. Let’s bring Mid-South Wrestling back to the good people of Louisiana. Gordon Solie: Ernie, aren’t you concerned with lawsuits by using the Mid-South logo? Ernie Ladd: Lawsuits” Ha…. I dare Watts to try something. Our lawyer, Jake Brigance, warned them what would happen if they continued to use the image and likeness of Revolution stars. Watts ignored us. So, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Fans in places like Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Houma, New Orleans and right here in Shreveport, get ready to go back to when wrestling cared about you. Get ready to be the center of the world. Everybody knows that I’ve been looking for a new TV home for our show. I got some good advice from an old friend, Ron Fuller. He says that you can always go home. He went home to run wrestling in Alabama and I’m going to do the same here in Louisiana. From now on, our weekly show will be coming to you from our new, uh, our old home… Irish McNeil’s Boys Club. And that’s not all. If we are going back to when Louisiana was the mecca of wrestling, let’s bring back the Louisiana Heavyweight title! This will be the second highest title in Mid-South Wrestling; a steppingstone to the Mid-South title! More information on this next week. Now, let’s get ready to see some of the stars you are used to seeing here in Mid-South and some brand new ones. Gordon… Gordon Solie: Well, there you have it folks. Mid-South Wrestling is back and trust you me, we have a tremendous show instore for you this hour. Vladimir Petrov will be taking on Porkchop Cash. Buck Robley is back, and his new team of monsters will be taking on JT Southern and Trent Knight. JYD is here and he will be taking on Moondog Rex. Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert will be taking on “The Doctor of Desire” Tom Prichard and in our main event, it will be Tully Blanchard taking on Blackjack Mulligan! I think our time keeper is set, so let’s get to the ring. MATCH Vladimir Petrov defeats Porkchop Cash in a back and forth brawl after Petrov followed up the elbow smash to the head with big suplay Post-match interview has the Koloffs join Petrov at the podium Gordon Solie: Not sure I was expecting you three? Ivan Koloff: Why would I care about what you expect. All we expected was fairness and even under Ernie Ladd, American wrestling finds way to cheat us. Dr. Death Williams come to the ring during Nikita’s title match against Jumbo Tsurauta which he has no business doing. Dat’s no all. Then Nikita crushes Jumbo with the Russian Sickle; a move nobody gets up from. What does Dr. Death do? He grabs Jumbo’s leg and puts it over the rope. Clear cheating by another American. Ernie Ladd… Nikita demands a rematch. Gordon Solie: Mr. Koloff, I you want to talk fairness, it was you, who first put Nikita’s foot over the bottom rope when it appeared Jumbo Tsuruta was about to win the title. Nikita Koloff: Nobody asked you. Steve Williams… you know you can’t beat me. That is why you help that Jumbo! You found the only way you could win MY TITLE. Don’t worry… I win it back verry, verry soon! Gordon Solie: Fair enough, I guess. We will be right back. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM MATCH Nord The Barbarian & Mighty Goliath with Buck Robley crush JT Southern & Trent Knight with the win coming after Mighty Goliath mercifully allowed Pee Wee Anderson to complete the 3-count after a Giant Splash. Post-Match Interview: Gordon Solie: Mr. Buckley, I admit I was surprised to see you back in this area but it appears that you have found yourself a devastating tag team. Col. Buck Robley: Gordon, I will now be addressed by Colonel Buck Robley and I am putting together the greatest army in all of wrestling. If it was not for Michael Hayes and his cheating ways, my men would be Mid-South tag team champions right now. Do you see the size of my men? Did you see the power of my men. They are unstoppable and soon the titles will be ours and Michael Hayes will rue the day he messed with me. MATCH: JYD defeats Moondog Rex with the Big Thump JYD came out to the ring still sporting the bandage on his head from the attack by Ivan Koloff with a chain at the Turner Cup. While JYD did get the win, he was once again bleeding at Moondog Rex clobbered him with the dog bone. Wahoo McDaniel joins JYD at the post-match interview. Gordon Solie: Junkyard Dog… It seems no matter where you go, the Russians are trying to make things difficult for you. Junkyard Dog: Ivan Koloff… I am sick and tired of you! You see my head. I’m still bleeding a week later and that is because you are nothing more than a low-life coward. Wahoo and I beat you again and you just can’t accept it. You clobber me with a chain cause you can’t accept that your nation is second rate. Dog is barking and slobbering and is so angry he looks like he has rabies… Wahoo McDaniel: Ivan… me and you go back a long way. I’ve never trusted you but I always respected you as a wrestler. I mean you beat Bruno Samartino. You have beaten Harley Race. You have beaten the best of the best. Now, all you do is try to put people out of wrestling who you can’t beat. You are past your prime. You are washed up. Now you are trying live through your nephew. Trust me, all he has are muscles. Once the going gets tough, he folds time and time again. Every time I look at him you are saving him from another loss…. and… when you don’t do your job… he is lying flat on his back in the center of the ring. The Mid-South title is gone. Now, JYD, myself and Dr. Death are going to make sure you are gone from here very, very soon. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM Before our next match, Ron Wright, “Crippler” Ray Stevens and the New Spoiler come to the podium. Ron Wright: This past week, I was in the presence of Satan. All my life, I have been working to rid the world of all of the evil Non-Christians in this sport and now, …. now… I have come face to face with the evilest man I have ever meet. That’s right…. Michael Hayes… we are coming for and there in nothing you can do about it! Gordon Solie: Well, you may have to wait it line, it seems Colonel Robley has the same issue. Ron Wright: After what Hayes did at the Turner Cup… could you blame anyone who was not trying to put you out of this sport. All of a sudden, Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt come to the podium… Eddie Gilbert: With all due respect Ron Wright, I better be first in line to get a shot at Michael Hayes. Hayes…. You not only stole those tag titles from Rick Steiner and me but you dared to put you dirty, disgusting mouth on Missy’s mouth! Nobody, and I mean nobody, gets away with kissing my lady…. You talk about nobody being tough enough to walk down Bad Street and stand up and fight you! We let me tell you, I am not only walking down Bad Street, I’m knocking your door down, hauling you out to the middle of the street and showing everyone just how weak you are! Gordon Solie: I will admit, Michael Hayes was at the center of the tag team tournament, but we need to get back to the ring. Eddie, I think your match is next. MATCH Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt vs “The Dr. of Desire” Tom Prichard While Eddie was giving the promo before the match, it was obvious that Missy was extremely upset thinking back to the kiss from Michael Hayes but as Tom Prichard entered the ring, it was almost like you could see her heart flutter a bit as the Doctor of Desire entered the ring. For what ever reason, Missy played this match straight up which seemed to upset Eddie a bit. In the end, we get a 10-minute draw where each man had some time wrestling from the top. After the bout, Eddie seemed to want more of Prichard, but Hyatt convinced him to head to the locker room. COMMERCIAL BREAK-PROMOS FOR MONDAY @ SHREVEPORT MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM MAIN EVENT MATCH Tully Blanchard with Dark Journey vs Blackjack Mulligan Prior to the match, we see an extremely confident Tully Blanchard as he struts right over to Mulligan and points at him with a chuckle. Dark Journey holds her noise like Mulligan has an odor pouring off his body. As ref Pee Wee Anderson gives the obligatory pat down for weapons. Gordon informs everyone that Blackjack had given Tully a pretty good beating last week in the Sam Houston Coliseum and the strap match, so he was unsure why Tully seemed so arrogant right now. Just before the bell starts the match, a group of four Puerto Ricans (?) rush the ring and attack Blackjack Mulligan. The only one that Gordon Solie is familiar with is Jose Estrada who he says he saw a few times in Florida and seemed to be the leader of some Hispanic gang and went by the name El Jefe. Solie has no idea why these men are after Blackjack and it seems like Tully is just as confused. Tully even stepped towards the fray and looked like he was going to intervene but then Dark Journey grabbed his arm and pulled him away and the duo headed for the locker room. Gordon Solie: I am truly at a loss right now at what is going on but we need to get some help out here right away or Blackjack Mulligan is going to suffer some serious injuries. I’m sorry to do this but we are out of time. If you are anywhere near Shreveport this Monday, make sure you get to the Auditorium for another great Mid-South event. So long from the Pelican State.
