There's a guy on Blog TV who streams old territory stuff from the 80's 24/7 (starting with stuff from 84). I'm sure a lot of it is Mid South/UWF.

It's in late 93 now, but he'll start the stream over after 94. Also has all of the Smokey Mountain and USWA stuff.

Wasn't Mid-South based out of Memphis? They always seemed to have the big events there.




No, you're confusing Bill Watt's territory with Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis where the big cards were held. The Memphis area had a couple different names and was a turnstyle of fractional owners that teamed up to branch out Memphis stars into other territories like the Carolina's, Kentucky, Indianapolis etc. Arkansas was part of Tri-State's original territory but Memphis' media reach siphoned off the eastern part of the state. There were much more lucrative markets like Tulsa, OKC, Shreveport, NOLA, Houston, so Arkansas got passed over a lot for big cards.

There's also a long shitty history of Memphis/Nashville guys wildcatting in Arkansas and masking themselves with the Mid-South name.
