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!

OK, so much like I decided to move ahead a couple of years in Mid-Atlantic because 82 was boring me, 82 is also pretty depressing for Mid-South, so let’s magically wind forward 2 years to the beginning of 1984 instead and see what Bill Watts was up to at the dawn of Hulkamania.
Your host is now young Jim Ross, along with Bill Watts.

Since these shows are really close to the Mid-Atlantic ones, I’m just gonna catch up to Mid-Atlantic (January 82) and then alternate between them.

Hey, here’s something I haven’t checked out on the Network in a while! Not to step on Brian’s toes, of course. I don’t have my phone handy because it’s charging, so no stopwatch for this one, sorry.
Your hosts are Boyd Pierce & Ernie Ladd. Ernie is immediately awesome.

This was the syndicated show rather than the normal weekly TV, which is an odd choice for inclusion.

I don’t even know where to start with all this new content, so let’s just start here.
Taped from Tulsa, OK
Your hosts are Bill & Joel Watts. Bill immediately announces that in two weeks, they will announce a new name for the promotion, which would eventually be the UWF name that should have made them into a contender for #2 promotion before the oil market collapsed and the territory died. For the moment they would switch to Power Pro Wrestling.
