It is nice to see Ted DiBiase get some love! I am very excited to get it!

This was a great buy for me. It gave me more knowledge of The Junkyard Dog, Ted DiBiase, and Jake The Snake. Very awesome DVD to add to my collection.

One of the WWF's (I'll stick with the classic initials, if you don't mind) better dvd collections, featuring one of the most influential territorial wrestling promotions of the 80s. Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling was a hotbed of great matches and excellent booking, creating one of the most consistently entertaining wrestling programs of the time period. The documentary portion is interspersed between classic matches, which helps to give context to the matches. There are a few faults here, though: It does not include any commentary about Mid-South's run on WTBS, after the WWF buyout of Georgia Championship Wrestling (and the infamous "Black Saturday"), it features a match or two where Jim Ross provides a more-recently recorded play-by-play, but tries to sound like contemporary commentary (despite the obvious difference between his post-Bell's Palsy voice and his time in Mid-South/UWF), and it could have added so many more great matches. If you have ever wondered why older fans lament the death of the territories, this will answer many of your questions.

I've been a wrestling fan for many, many years, originally getting into it with what was then called the WWF, watching The British Bulldog in action. As time has passed, I've watched many different groups and looked deeper into the history of Pro Wrestling in the United States. Time and time again, I've heard about Mid South Wrestling, which was supposedly one of the most realistic practionners of the Art of Pro Wrestling, along with Stampede Wrestling from Calgary in Canada. Mid South was based in the deep south of the United States, hailing from Lousiana, Oklahoma and Mississipi and parts of East texas, Mid South criss crossed this area, with the wrestlers travelling thousands of miles a week.So when this set appeared and dropped to a reasonable price, i took a punt on it and bought it. And I have to say I am quite impressed with what I have seen.First of all, the wrestling has not aged badly at all. Given that some of these matches are over 30 years old, you would think that the moves performed in the ring would look dated, but they still hold up to today's standard. This is in part helped by the fact that a good portion of this matches are fairly short, running between 5 and 10 mins long (Some are longer). This is because the purpose of some of the TV matches was to get people to buy tickets to go to the arenas and see these men live.The format of the feature is different to the usual offering. This is not a linear progression of the events of Mid South. Instead it is a look at the wrestlers who plied their trade there. So for example, there are several features with Ted Dibiase, interviews with him, then some of his matches with Hacksaw Jim Duggan or Paul Orndorf. This makes a pleasant change and makes this set stand out, as well as giving us more information. I can't help thinking that they did this due to the fact that a lot of Mid South was not tapped (There is no PPV after all), but it works.All in all this is a good set, and defintely worth buying if your a fan of Pro Wrestling

This is a two disc set of a selection of matches from the Mid South promotion, later renamed UWF following a national expansion, that was owned and operated by wrestler 'Cowboy' Bill Watts.The format is unlike previous territory releases as this has no lengthy documentary detailing the promotions highs and lows. What you do get is a history of the territory from 1981-1987 by the wrestlers themselves, featuring short narratives followed by a vintage match.Bill Watts could boast a who's who of talent in his wrestlers achievements. Virtually every face in this DVD has made a huge impact in the 1980's in North American wrestling. The DVD cover shows Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog and Jake Roberts, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of the 'Legends' included here.My only gripe is that the lighting of the ring during the odd match appears a touch on the dull side, but that is my only complaint. The Blu-ray extras featured are very good also. If you possess the curiosity to know where some of the greatest wrestlers from the NWA/WCW or the WWF/WWE previously made a name, then this is the DVD for you. It really is that good.

Ever wanted to see how Ted DiBease, Jake Roberts, Andre The Giant, J.Y.D and other WWE legends first drew the attention of the masses?... Then look no further!The wrestling is a tad rough and ready for several matches (JYD was AWFUL in the ring, frankly!) but there's talent to be found from technicians like Dibease and others. The crowds are almost manic at times. No wonder Jim Cornette yearns for the 'good old days' of wrestling to return.

Very happy with item itself, used free delivery and took a long time (around a week) , I personally feel that's too long

Bought as an Xmas gift for my brother in law last year. He likes it
