Never really was much into wrestling, but when we watched, it was Mid-South, not WWF or the 'hollywood' stuff, because my grandma [and mom's whole side of the family down in LA really] watched Mid-South forever. |
Mid-South was the promotion of the hardcore fan in those days. The guy who ran the territory, Bill Watts, was so old-school that if one of his wrestlers got in a bar fight and lost, he'd fire him because he'd lose credibility in front of the audience.
