Ted Dibiase vs The Junk Yard Dog

 

This is a great angle, with DiBiase being forced to turn on his long time friend, JYD had some amazing bling in his prematch interview. Still more of an angle then a match

 

July 1, 1982

 

Junk Yard Dog vs. Bob Roop

 

For some reason this was a JYD squash

 

• Mr Olympia vs. The Grappler

 

For the Missippi title and was a fun match a step below what would make a set, but worth checking out

 

• Big Ernie Ladd vs. Killer Kahn

 

Worth watching for the Watts explination of how Khan's screams add force to his blows.

The Dibiase-JYD angle will def. be making its way on as an extra.

“Dr. Death” Steve Williams vs. Jeff Sword (6/23/82)

 

Squash.

 

Big John Studd & Super Destroyer vs. Ernie Kirkland & David Price (6/23/82)

 

Good to see the National Tag champs in Mid-South.

 

No DQ for the North American Heavyweight Title: Junkyard Dog © vs. Ted DiBiase (6/23/82)

 

If the match was strong enough to warrant being put a nomination then we could put this through like Duggan/Gordy but it wasn’t as there wasn’t much of a match before DiBiase would turn on JYD. This is a definite extra though. Roop was awesome on commentary on this.

 

Now we see the best thing on this set in my opinion, Vince McMahon on Mid-South TV talking with Andre the Giant about coming back from his injury to get revenge on Killer Khan.

 

Killer Khan vs. Joe Stark (6/23/82)

 

Squash.

 

Colonel Buckley Christopher George Robley III vs. Billy Starr (6/23/82)

 

Squash.

 

We then have a wild brawl with Tom Jones, Ladd, & Robley against Assassin, Gang, & Grappler.

 

Jesse Barr & Iron Mike Sharpe vs. The Devil’s Duo (Jeff Sword & Doug Vines) (6/23/82)

 

Good to see Devil’s Duo as a team here considering they were quite the team in ICW and they looked good here but Sharpe was too powerful.

 

Ted DiBiase vs. Tom Jones (6/23/82)

 

Teddy is not quite a heel yet but is on his way.

 

Junkyard Dog vs. Bob Roop (6/23/82)

 

JYD is pissed off so he squashes Roop.

 

Mississippi Heavyweight Title: Mr. Olympia © vs. The Grappler (6/23/82)

 

This was a fun match but not enough for nomination.

 

Killer Khan vs. “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd (6/23/82)

 

Akbar would get involved then a steel chair was used by Khan to take out Ladd.

 

Colonel Buckley Christopher George Robley III vs. Ricky Harris (6/23/82)

 

Robley gets the win.
