Nerdgasm Alert

From today's WON update...

Jim Ross mentioned on Twitter that besides the Ric Flair vs. Terry Taylor match, he also did new voice over work this past week for the Mid South DVD of a Jim Duggan vs. Buzz Sawyer arena match and the Jim Duggan vs. Ted DiBiase tuxedo street fight loser leaves town coal miner's glove match from the Sam Houston Coliseum.  

Um, can I just give them all my money now, or do I actually have to wait for the DVD to get released?

  1. As a guy that didn't see much of Mid South, I am really looking forward to this set.

  2. The best part is that it will be just the beginning of the Watts library. Can't wait for the UWF dvd; nobody liked superheavyweights beating the ever loving snot out of each other more than Watts and the talent that ran through there was awesome. OMG, Dr. Death, young Rick Steiner and Sting, the Fabulous Freebirds, Iceman Parsons, Eddie Gilbert. Can't wait.

  4. I'm assuming/hoping this dvd is coming with an in depth documentary ala the WCCW disc. This is going to be a doozy.

  5. Can we just get a 3 hour DVD of Bill Watts going off on everything that makes him angry? Because I'd buy that. Twice.

  6. Scott, do you have any idea why the original announcing has to be redone by Ross now? I never enjoyed post produced announcing, as it seems out of the real moment. It never.feels like real emotion.

  7. The world needs a cranky Bill Watts twitter feed. I'd pay to hear his thoughts real time on raw broadcasts.

  8. Bill Watts: "I didn't mean to piss out of my office window at the CNN Center, but I was just too drunk to give a fuck."

  9. Most of these, if not all of these, are arena matches with no announcing at all.

  10. I'm not sure that's true for the tuxedo match. I'm sure they had professional TV taping equipment there. Idk. Heres some awesome build for the match http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=i-3JCODSpu0&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Di-3JCODSpu0

  11. I've seen the match. It's pro-shot but there's no commentary.

  13. "tuxedo street fight loser leaves town coal miner's glove match"
    Great Stipulation--Or Greatest Stipulation

  14. Needs a cage. And a ladder. And something on a pole.

  15. On his best day, with his cleanest shirt and his best-pressed pair of pants, Vince Russo couldn't have cooked up something that glorious.

    ReplyDelete
  16. IIRC, that Duggan-DiBiase match is the "Best Dressed Man" match, and along with the other stips, it was in a cage.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hopefully they put the Flair/DiBiase/Murdoch angle on the first Mid-South set, too.

  18. I'm looking forward to this one.. but I don't think I can ever forgive the WWE for ruining the career of one of my favorite wrestlers, Terry Taylor. He probably would have been one of the greatest IC champs of all-time if they hadn't saddled him with that ridiculous Red Rooster bullshit.. Huge wasted opportunity.

  19. Oh man this is gonna be fucking awesome

    Russo would have worn a jersey.

  21. Can you believe he has gone on record THANKING McMahon for giving him the Red Rooster?!! He says if it wasn't for that gimmick, people wouldn't be talking about him today. Taylor believes that if something still mentioned 25 years later it must have been good. UGH. Doesn't help that he works in developmental now, so that may skew his thoughts. Konnan always talks on his podcast about what a snake Taylor is too.

  22. Terry Taylor was a good wrestler but also a complete black hole of charisma with marginal mic skills. Even if he was never saddled with the Red Rooster gimmick he would have never gotten truly big and I'm so, SO glad WWE didn't give him the Mr. Perfect gimmick over the much more talented Curt Hennig.

    ReplyDelete
  23. No no no. Taylor was an awful face, but he had charisma as a smarmy heel. Look up his work with Watts. His heel turn on Chris Adams was awesome.

  24. I enjoyed his "Computerized Man of the 1990s" stuff with the York Foundation in WCW.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Gotta agree with Brocore. He was a much better heel and as a heel he may have had a better run in the WWF.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Actually...it was in a cage...and the miner's glove was on a pole...so it really does have it all...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yeah his early '90s WCW stuff was great. With the slicked hair and the dye job it caused a young mark like me not even realize it was The Rooster.
