My good friends dad owned well past its hey day. He mostly ran shows in Houma and occasionally in Morgan City and Chalmette in the mid 90s. I met Chris Adams, Scotty 2 Hotty, Kamala, JYD, CoCo B Ware, Mr. Wrestler.......
It was actually pretty sad. I seen a dude drive in from Alabama get his head split open (with a razor) and got paid $15. Most of the big name guys got about $2-$300 a match but they would take polaroids at intermission for $5-$10 a piece to make more money. JYD got $500 and my buddys dad damn near had a heart attact worrying if he was going to make money or not. He didnt make much running shows, maybe a couple hundred.

I worked for Mid-South back in the mid-90s. Your buddy's last name Hebert? I knew all those guys -- Kamala, JYD, Terry Gordy, Mr. Wrestling III (Dale Wolfe), Crazy Joe, John Saxon, etc.

I got a polaroid of me and JYD from the Baker Muni center back in the day. I'd say late 80s. One of my prized possessions.
