Posted August 2, 200718 yr comment_5420104 Produced: 10-21 to 11-18-1984 Rock ‘n’ Roll Express & “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. Midnite Express & Ernie Ladd Man was this great, probably the best MX v. R+R's match on this set. Ladd is still great in tags, and Duggan is so awesome at this point. So much to love here, Bobby Eaton dying on a clothesline, Cornette freaking out at ringside, lots of fun comedy spots. Slamdunk pick Mike Von Erich vs. Dale Veasey This was watched in Shawn Micheals speed, didn't look like much as one might imagine Brickhouse Brown & Master Gee vs. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed & Ernie Ladd This is your all black tag match, and is really great. Master Gee has some fun spots and is kept out of the ring when he isn't doing them. Ladd really just chucks people around recklessly, and Reed may be the best wrestler in the history of Mid-South. Plus Master Gee does a Fuller leglock. Terry Taylor vs. The Masked Superstar I remember liking this alot clipped up on PPW, but in full it doesn't really make the cut. Awesome in ring topes by Superstar but not much else.

November 20, 200717 yr comment_5424204 Hacksaw Duggan & The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. Ernie Ladd & The Midnight Express (“Loverboy” Dennis Condrey & “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton) (7/2/84) Everyone was great here including Ladd and this was a fuckin hot crowd. There isn’t much more to be said here that hasn’t been said already. A slam dunk nomination. Mike Von Erich vs. Dale Veasy (10/21/84) I am dreading the Mike matches when we get to World Class. Brickhouse Brown & Master G vs. “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd & “Hacksaw” Butch Reed (10/21/84) Master is one of those guys where if he was around today in his prime he would be a much bigger star than he was here as he fits today’s style of being a spot wrestler. Ladd looks pretty good here for him as he takes some big bumps for him and still has the great heel charisma. Ladd takes a lot of punishment before tagging Reed in who trades with Brick but Brick would start throwing dropkicks on both heels in bunches sending them to the floor to regroup. Brick & Master would tag in and out stretching Butch by the arms working on his back but Ladd would pop a knee in Brick’s back as he was running the ropes stopping the momentum. The heels would take turn beating on Brick with Butch absolutely murdering Brick with a backdrop driver that the fans went OOOOOOOOOOOOO for. Brick would finally get the hot tag to Master who came in blazing hitting dropkicks on everyone until Brick could join him for the 4-way brawl. Master gets Ladd in the Master Lock but Brick would have Carl Fergie distracted so Reed dropped a fist on Master with Ladd covering tfor the victory. Reed was beyond great here and Brick was great at being the FIP. This definitely should move forward. Terry Taylor vs. Masked Superstar (11/18/84) This was a good match but not nomination material.
