MID-SOUTH WRESTLING
TV FOR WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER 1, 1984
TAPED OCTOBER 18, 1984
MCNEIL BOXING CLUB
SHREVEPORT, LA
ANNOUNCERS: Boyd Pierce, Bill Watts, Jim Ross
REFEREES: Alfred Neely, Jerry Usher, Joel Armstrong
Boyd Pierce: “Welcome friends to another episode of Mid South Wrestling, the King of Sports! And now here is the voice of Mid-South Wrestling, Bill Watts!
Bill: "Thanks Boyd, and yes, later this hour I will offer a rebuttal to Ken Mantels' ridiculous comments about the Junkyard Dog. What I'd like to address right now Boyd Pierce is a man named Magnum TA and what some are calling the 'Slap Heard Around the World'. Last week Michael Hayes of the Freebirds came out here and challenged the North American champion and the most dynamic athlete in sports, Magnum TA and said he would slap his face. Well, not only did Magnum come out here on this very TV show Boyd and stare down Michael Hayes face to face, it took all three Freebirds for Michael Hayes to commit that cowardly act.
"Contrast Magnum TA to one Michael Hayes, who tried the same stunt again later last week, this time with Tiger Conway Junior, only to have yes, you guessed it, Magnum TA step in and prevent that from happening. Magnum TA is his own man, who does not back down from a challenge like the true champion and man that he is; Michael Hayes, it seem to me, prefers to flap his gums then let Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts cash in the checks his big mouth writes week after week. Case in point this week: Magnum TA has challenged any of the Freebirds to a match one on one this week. Who is stepping into the ring with Magnum this week? Not Michael Hayes, but TV champion Buddy Roberts. Magnum really wants Michael Hayes in that ring, but once again, the big mouth Michael Hayes has allowed one of his fellow Freebirds do the talking.
"Don’t get me wrong ladies and gentlemen: Michael Hayes is an extremely talented wrestler, and I have seen him battle with the best of them. But for whatever reason, he has chosen to hide those talents from the fans, and run off his mouth, and let Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts do his fighting. But whatever the outcome today, let me assure the fans of one thing: I am going to do all I can, move heaven and earth, to make sure that after what he did to Magnum TA last week, Michael Hayes will one day have no choice but to face the North American Champion, one on one, and answer for his actions against one Magnum TA. Boyd?
Boyd: "It’s the 8th Wonder of the World Andre the Giant versus the Korean martial arts master Tiger Chung Lee, lets go to Jim Ross for the introduction in the ring to that match right now!

Andre the Giant joins Bill and Boyd, and accepts Ernie Ladds challenge for one more match to determine the True Giant of Professional Wrestling at the Superdome, with the stipulation it will be their match will be the LAST EVER TO SETTLE THE ISSUE!
Boyd: "Lets go back to the ring for more action.
TERRY GORDY w/Michael Hayes V RICKIE LEE VAUGHN
During the match, Hacksaw Jim Duggan joins Bill and Boyd and commentates, much to the irritation of Hayes and Gordy who seemed distracted by his presence. Duggan recounts what happened last week in his tag team match, and says he will be happy to settle any issues Gordy has with him, one on one, Thanksgiving Night at the Superdome!
Gordy allows Vaughn to get several near pins on him because of the presence of Duggan, but takes care of business with a powerslam at 7:00 of a competitive match!
After the match Gordy and Hayes walk over to the announce area and point fingers and jawjack with Duggan, who looks ready for action, and here comes Buddy Roberts to make it 3 on 1 but Watts warns the Freebirds and finally they go to the back..

Boyd Pierce: "And now with more commentary I give you Bill Watts!
Bill: "Boyd Pierce, last week we saw a video by Ken Mantell that in my opinion was full of lies, distortions and half truths and mistruths. Last week Ken Mantell claimed that I was ripping off the Junkyard Dog, keeping him back financially. Well, let me assure the fans nothing could be further from the truth. The Junkyard Dog is as you said last week Boyd the hottest commodity in professional sports, and I can assure the fans of Mid South Wrestling that he is handsomely compensated for his services.
"Now lets make no mistake: Mid South Wrestling IS a business, so yes, there is always going to be a lot of give and take between promoter and athlete when it comes to salary, contracts, and guarantees, and that also goes for any sport with free agency including the NBA and baseball when owners and players negotiate contracts.
"Now don’t get me wrong, Ken Mantell, just like the WWF, NWA, AWA whoever, has as much right as anyone else to negotiate with the Junkyard Dog or any other wrestler for their services, but let make this clear to Mr. Mantell: I'm not going to just stand by and let you besmirch my good name or of that of Mid South Wrestling, or run down the great fans who have stood by thick and thin by JYD in order to mount some sort of phony baloney publicity campaign in order to con the fans into thinking that the Junkyard Dog would possibly sign with the Mantell Corporation.
"Ken Mantell, if you have the resources to sign Junkyard Dog, then show the money, and keep my name and the good name of Mid South Wrestling OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. Otherwise, sir what you are doing is damaging to Mid South Wrestling and to the reputation and business of Mid South Wrestling which in part relies on the popularity of this man, and my message to yoU is this: PUT UP OR SHUT THE HELL UP, because trust you me, Mr. Mantell, I don’t care how big your so called 'corporation' is, if there indeed is even one, but my advice would be to watch your step because you my friend are messing with the wrong Cowboy. Boyd?
Boyd: "Tag team action awaits, lets go to Jim Ross.
ANGELO MOSCSA + KILLER KHAN w/Ken Mantell V RANDY ROSE + WENDELL COOLEY
During the match Mantell taunts Watts by rubbing his fingers together in his direction.
Ken: "Keep it up, Mr. Mantell, keep it up. Boyd, why do I have the feeling the only money this so called millionaire has at his disposal is the imaginary money he is rubbing between his fingers. Randy Rose is a talented veteran, and Wendell Cooley one of the hottest young wrestlers in the sport, but I have to admit they will have their hands full with these behemoths.
Rose and Cooley are game, and give the bigger men all they can handle, but Rose does the honors to Khan at 5:12.
Boyd: "Magnum TA versus Buddy Roberts when we return!

MAGNUM TA V BUDDY ROBERTS
Magnum TA is all business and bounces Roberts all over the ring, but Buddy uses craft to gain the upperhand and does show that he can handle business inside the squared circle, but at the 6 and a half minute mark, Magnum starts getting near fall after near fall, and HERE COMES MICHAEL HAYES! This acts as a tremendous distraction for Magnum, and Buddy tries to pin Magnum, but each time Magnum shirks him off and then turns his attention to Hayes, who is jaw jacking with Magnum!
WAIT! What is this? TIGER CONWAY JR! He is at ringside and points and threatens Hayes, who backs off and it is business as usual in the ring, until Hayes trips up Magnum messing up a suplex, and Tiger comes over and confronts Hayes!
WAIT! ITS TERRY GORDY! HE SUNDAYS CONWAY, MAGNUM blocks an attempt by Roberts to execute the spinning neckbreaker, and bulldogs Roberts, and delivers a belly to belly on Roberts, but then sees Hayes and Gordy beating up Tiger at ringside, and steps out of the ring! He nails Gordy! Then he goes after Hayes, and chases the cowardly leader of the Birds around the ring when what is this?
BUDDY JACK WITH A CHAIR TO MAGNUMS BACK! THAT WILL BE A DQ! BUT NOW ITS 3 ON 2 AT RINGSIDE AND THE BIRDS THROW MAGNUM AND TIGER INTO THE RING, AND THEY GET READY TO DO MORE DAMAGE WHEN:
