Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling/UWF was just a tremendous territory during the 80's

it seems to be under appreciated by the people on this board

literally some of the biggest stars in the biz worked here like Dr Death Steve Williams, Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Jim Ross, Barry Windham, Paul Orndorff, JYD, Ted Dibiase, Magnum TA, Freebirds, Rock and Roll Express, Midnight Express, Chris Adams and the list goes on and on

Mid-South ran from September 1979 til 1985 when Watts changed the name to the Universal Wrestling Federation which it closed down in late 1987
