Any memories from the old school guys in the audience?

Spawned by this awesome picture that I just found on the internet:

Used to love me some Mid South wrestling. Many of them used to come in my grandmothers doctors office, so she would get me autographs and pictures. Also, said my first curse word in front of my mom calling General Skandar Akbar an arse. I was 8. Ahh...the good ole days.

When Ted Dibease turned on JYD with the loaded glove. That was pretty epic. Anything with Dirty Dick Murdoch.

I remember Jim Ross describing the Freebirds jumping Ted DiBiase at the end of the show like this; "Hayes and Gordy are running to the ring! Oh my God! They are brutalizing DiBiase! Somebody help him! (enter Dr. Death Steve Wiliams to help DiBiase) Dr. Death! Oh MY GOD! It's a bunkhouse brawl! PANDELIRIUM has broken out!!! See you next week!

I always thought that Mid South/UWF was overrated, but it's a shame that Crockett buried them.

In high school, I went to the tv tapings every other Wednesday at Irish McNeal's gym in Shreveport. They filmed two shows back-to-back.

Cowboy Bill Watts (his worthless son, Joel, was tried at everything including refereeing), Boyd Pierce, Reeser Bowden.

Anyone remember when the Midnight Express and Jim Cornett tar and feathered Magnum TA?

Rumor has it that Vince McMahon recently bought the Mid-South/UWF tape archives from Bill Watts' ex-wife. Hopefully they will put out some quality mid-south DVD's soon.

Best Mid-South angle ever:

Dibiase/Flair/Murdoch

More good stuff:

Duggan/Dibiase/Akbar

I saw JYD take on Paul orndorff in a "anything goes" match in Monroe. Paul comes out in blue jeans and a football helmet. JYD comes out as simple ole JYD. Match ends with JYD ripping off the football helmet and putting it on and the speared Paul in the arse with it a few times. Crowd was epic.

I loved going to watch mid south wrestling with my maw maw.

It's not every day you see a pic of the Fantastics and the Midnight Express ft Dennis Condry. Speaking of Dennis, he is easily the ugliest cat to go by the name "loverboy"

I saw a 3 team cage match in Monroe. I don't remember all of the teams, but I remember Freebirds, the Great Kabuki and his damn green smoke, Hacksaw Jim Duggin and his bib overalls and big stomp (whatever that move was called) and Ted Dibiase... Not sure who the last guy was. Was a huge party with everyone pounding a way all at once -- I'm not sure who Dibiase was teamed with, but in the end, his partner turned on him, or he turned on his partner -- the crowd was like, "wtf just happened?"

Naturally, the freebirds won - those bastards.
