we'll miss the Big Cat.....if only mid south were running today...let's not forget col. buck robely, dick murdoch and a very young marty lunde who paid his dues and became arn anderson, who i think ranks up there with the best of them. he could wrestle but his interviews were always solid and to the point....

Oh when the SAINTS go marching in, R.I.P Mr Ladd R.I.P.

 

[new city champ]

"I'm telling your right now Boyd Pierce if that dirty dog Skandar Akbar shows his face I'll beat him like a rented mule."

"Well, Ernie we've got some good news for wrestling fans out there, your matchmaker, Grizzly Smith, has booked a no-holds-bar single elimination match between the Big Cat and Skandar Akbar next Friday night at the Baton Rouge Civic Arena, and the loser has to leave town. That's right folks, the loser leaves town. Friday will also mark the return to Mid-South of the high-flying Johnny Eagles who will battle Cowboy Bill Watts in a Texas rattle snake match. And in the main event the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes will take on the Iron Shiek for the Mid-American heavyweight belt...."

Pistol Pez Whatley
The Assassins
Bob Roop
Sting
Rick Steiner
Kerry Von Erich
The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rodgers)
Paul Orndorff

What about when JYD wore a mask and went by "Stagger Lee."

Also Mid-South Wrestling is where Jim Ross became a famous announcer.

Lord there's so many more that slip my mind.

Jake the Snake DDT'ing Dark Journey was the greatest Mid-South moment ever.

One of the Junkyard Dog's greatest lines...

"So Afa...Sika...and that Big Foot Dirty Ernie Ladd...you come and get the Dog!"----followed by long Dog bark...

Part of my youth gone...RIP Big Cat.

Hate to see that the "Big Cat" passed away. I remember going to the Jackson Coliseum and watching all those guys previously mentioned. I remember Nikolai Volkov and the other Russian guy used to always go at it against Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death. Skandar Akbar and kamala messing with Hacksaw Jim. I miss those days of rasslin. Being a young kid at the time, I though all of it was absolutely real.
