Mid South Wrestling

Remembering back to the 80's wrestling was on a regional and territory level system and one of the most successful and popular wrestling entertainment leagues that one could watch on syndicated TV was " Mid South Wrestling". Which was ran by ex pro football player Bill Watts and ex wrestler himself the territory featured matches and TV taping house shows in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas. Many of the later well know stars and legends would get a start here from the likes of Jim Duggan, "The Million Dollar Man", "Junkyard Dog", "Andre the Giant", and to be future announcer host Jim Ross even got a start here as a ref! And one of my all time favorites "Kamala the Ugandan Giant"(known then as "Kamala the Warrior") started his scary in ring slaughters in the Mid South region. Overall it was a classic legendary wrestling territory, when you as a fan watch old films and in house shows it brings back memories.
