Comments

  1. Was Cornette actually involved in this set or are they using past interview clips of him?

    ReplyDelete
  2. (checks for existence of WWE Amex card with rewards)


    WOW does this look promising. I'll bet this was JR's baby, free of the Stamford Bias, what with the actual focus on Butch Reed.

    ReplyDelete
  3. What does WWE have against Butch Reed?

    ReplyDelete
  4. I've been strictly using my amazon card for DVDs to the reap the rewards points for more DVDs.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Am I missing something here? I only see one Butch Reed match there. Most of the focus seems to be on Dibiase and Duggan, which isn't surprising given that they have a good relationship with the WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  6. "Coal Miner’s Glove Steel Cage Tuxedo Loser Leaves Town Match"



    Really?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Nothing to my knowledge, but more that they'll omit certain guys because they weren't WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  8. They were also huge parts of Mid-South. It seems like they're not omitting any major Mid-South players like Terry Taylor and Reed.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm curious to see a match like that especially duggan v dibiase

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well Reed was in WWE for a year or so but it wasn't exactly memorable. His run certainly wasn't terrible though.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I think I've seen it before and it's really just a bunch of brawling but the crowd heat really helps. It's just a fun match overall.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't have a Blu-Ray player. I must get a Blu-ray player.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Vince Russo's favorite match.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Very likely past interview clips. Jim Cornette confirmed in an PWInsider interview that he wasn't interviewed for the DVD.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It's a legendary match. It actually headlined I believe a Superdome show. And yes, it's hilariously overbooked.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't know, I loved how Fink would announce him as, "The Natural" Butch Reed. Didn't he work a SNME vs. Hogan?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Looks like they have most of the Magnum TA/Mr. Wrestling angle. One of the all-time greats.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This is missing a REALLY big angle: The Freebirds blinding JYD. A fan jumped into the ring and pulled a gun on Michael Hayes during the storyline.

    ReplyDelete
  19. A question for the folks who have seen a fair share of Mid South stuff. Was JYD worth a damn back then? I know he was in much better shape than his WWF days and I know he was super over, but was he any good?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Was that actually confirmed or just something Hayes said?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Confirmed

    ReplyDelete
  22. He was good, not great.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Have not seen a whole lot of Mid-South, so I'm really looking forward to this.

    Kudos to WWE on these stellar DVD releases as of late

    ReplyDelete
  24. Here's a video package for the match. While out of context it doesn't make a lot of sense, this explains why they used these stipulations.

    ReplyDelete
  25. He's the epitome of the difference between a worker and a wrestler (okay Lawler too) - he got people into the building with talk and work. It's a great skill.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My God, that video package made the whole thing make sense. I long for the days when a "video package" was actually clips and soundbites with an announcers v/o instead of a music video with every effect Adobe ever created applied to it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I still can't believe they are releasing this! Hopefully it sells well enough for more to follow.

    ReplyDelete
  28. They could have just added a DVD (or three) of Cornette telling stories about those days. Was "Magnum TA & Mr. Wrestling II vs. The Midnight Express" the match where the Express tarred and feathered Magnum, rioting the crowd?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yep, there can be good overbooking, and this was it. It was weird seeing DiBiase without his beard, though.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Maybe they talk about it during the documentary part. Might not need to show the whole match if they have clips of it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. And I thought the current WWE product had overbooking problems..

    ReplyDelete
  32. Now THAT'S how you write a wrestling feud that lasts for months and keeps building up to a payoff.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Never seen it, but it is apparently an awesome match as well.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The other difference is that the crazy stipulations are there to bring closure to a long feud. As opposed to "It's October, therefore it will be Hell in a Cell".

    ReplyDelete
  35. Nah, if Russo had booked it, at the end in an amazing suprise we would have found out that DiBiasie and Duggan were allies all along, and it was all part of a plot against Dr. Death. But a week later, we'd found out that it was a DOUBLE SWERVE and Dr. Death and Duggan were plotting against DiBiasie the whole time. And they would have buried DiBiasie in a coal mine, and then DiBiasie would have shown up on TV a week later without anyone mentioning it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Can't wait to get this set. Mid-South and WCCW was what I grew up watching, and the World Championship Wrestling show on TBS when we got cable. Gonna be nice to have a great quality copy of the DiBiase/Murdoch double turn angle. Looks like there's still plenty of footage to be mined for a 2nd (3rd and 4th) set that could focus more on guys like Butch Reed, Eddie Gilbert, Jake Roberts, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Plus, you get Jim Duggan and JYD pre-WWF, when they were actually pretty cool, plus crazy shit like Andre doing a flying splash.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Good lord. Did the guy he hit live?

    ReplyDelete
  39. This was before Hogan wrestled him, so he was only about 220 at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The problem with such booking from a business perspective is that it's unsustainable. You have to come up with great new shit all of the time or you die.

    Whereas any idiot can book a HitC match in October.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Devil's advocate: there's more a booker can do with feuds when not constrained by 'this type of match must happen' every few months. If a feud stays hot, the booker can keep it going. The autobooking property of WWE theme PPVs leads to formulaic booking.

    ReplyDelete
  42. WWE is still in business. Mid South is not.

    * drops mic, walks away *

    ReplyDelete
  43. No, it was a match between II/TA and another team. Cornette comes out to talk trash on II/TA, Midnights ambush them, knock both out with blackjacks, then "tar and feather" TA.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yes. It was one of the Wild Samoans, and he actually tells the story of how he nearly pissed himself seeing Andre on the top; however, he completely protected him. It's on a Youtube shoot, and it's a great story.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes. They are awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I think a lot of the WWE stuff is actually AWESOME now. They whiff on a lot of stuff, but the video packages are stellar.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Without his beard he looks surprisingly like JBL in that suit.
