The SmarK Rant for Mid-South Wrestling – 04.27.85
OK, we come to the end of the Mid-South content on the Network for now, and although I promised to go back to 1984 once I was done with this year…I dunno. These are pretty low-performing rants and I feel like it might be best to leave it alone for a while. Leave the field fallow for a season, if you will.

The Network 2.0 update is out, and thankfully the Windows 10 app is still working. For now. I am, however, willing to give the browser version a chance again because I’ve heard good things about it, should things go south for my beloved Windows app. Notably, all the new video is now presented in full 1080p, so it’ll look great on Baconman’s 192” 14K TV.

(Unfortunately the WWE Network was down on Saturday night when I went to do a rant for this morning, so we might as well carry on with Mid-South because I had already done the next episode, back when they first started adding the Watts footage to the Network in 2015. I can only hope it’s still down on Sunday night for the PPV.)

Time for something to put me back in my happy place after enduring Super Showdown! New Japan was on the docket but I wasn’t really in the mood for anything heavy tonight.

Well, I couldn’t just leave it with another Best Dressed Man contest hanging over our heads!

I know I usually do Superstars and Heat first in the rotation, but I GOTTA see this episode.

Oooooo, this one is TV-14, with a disclaimer at the beginning about differing views and all that. Plus a “Presented in the most complete form possible” disclaimer on top of that.

This one has a “most complete form possible” disclaimer, so maybe they had to edit out a racist tirade from Cowboy Bill or something. I hope not.
The SmarK Rant for WWE Network Hidden Gems – Mid-South Wrestlefest 85
Been waiting to get around to this one for a while now, but nothing like a lazy Sunday to catch up. I did actually start this one last week, but real life intervened and I had to stop and scrap it early on.
Taped from Skelly Stadium, in Tulsa OK, 07.28.85. Not sure on the gate but it looks pretty full. No commentary for this show.

Definitely time for a palette cleanser after Heat yesterday.

They actually just added a whole bunch more Mid South to the Network, which is apparently the final batch available from the purchase a few years back. So let’s jump ahead a year as we get closer to the “modern” era of the promotion, starting in 1985!

…and something else. This is what you call a “contrast in styles.” You’ll see.
