ANOTHER OUTSTANDING AND VERY LOUD CROWD WITNESSED A GREAT NIGHT OF MID-SOUTH WRESTLING ACTION ON OCT. 14TH AT GRENADA ,MS. THIS GREAT TOWN IS TURNING INTO A HOTBED OF WRESTLING IN THE MAGNOLIA STATE. PROMOTER BUDDY HUGGINS OUTBID OTHER SOUTHERN PROMOTERS FOR THE FIRST JUNKYARD DOG MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT. RESULTS:
ROUND 1;
1. FORMER MID-SOUTH CHAMPION MICHEAL DARKHART DEF. NEWCOMER WILLIE D. CHARISMA IN 7 MIN. WITH THE HARTBREAKER.
2. MAD DOG BUTCH WIGGINS DEF. THE SUPER ASSASSIN WITH A SUNSET FLIP IN 5 MIN.
3. 400 LB. BABARAZ DEF. HAMMER HERRON IN 9 MIN. WITH INTERFERENCE FROM DARKHART.
4. THE PURPLE HAZE RETURNED TO MID-SOUTH WRESTLING SUCCESSFULLY WITH A D.Q. WIN OVER REVEREND HEAVEN LEE LOVE. LOVE PREACHED TO THE CROWD FOR THE FIRST 8. MIN. OF THE MATCH, AND, AFTER DISCOVERING HE COULDN'T GET A QUICK WIN OVER HAZE, WAS DISQUALIFIED FOR BRINGING A CHAIR INTO THE RING. THIS COMPANY, BEING ONE OF THE FEW IN THE BUSINESS THAT STILL BELIEVES IN THE "WRESTLING" PART OF THE BUSINESS, LOOKS DOWN ON F. O.'S AND THE REFS WILL CALL A QUICK END TO A MATCH WHEN THIS SITUATION ARISES.
SECOND ROUND:
1. MAD DOG BUTCH WIGGINS DEF. BABARAZ IN 12 MIN. WHEN LUSCIOUS KENNY VALIANT PUSHED BABARAZ OFF THE TOP ROPE WHILE ATTEMPTING A BIG SPLASH. VALIANT CAME TO THE ARENA LATE CLAIMING 4 FLAT TIRES KEPT HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO BE IN TOURNAMENT AS SCHEDULED.
2. MICHAEL DARKHART DEF. PURPLE HAZE IN 7 MIN. WITH A HARTBREAKER. HAZE CONTROLLED THE MATCH UNTIL MAKING A FATAL ERROR, WHICH YOU DON'T DO WITH THE CRAFTY DARKHART.
MAIN EVENT:
THE MIDNITE RIDER RETAINED THE MID SOUTH TITLE BY D.Q. OVER FORMER CHAMPION VENOM. VENOM, CLAIMING A PROBLEM WITH HIS CONTRACT, TOOK THE REF AND BUDDY HUGGINS TO THE BACK, WHICH ALLOWED REVEREND LOVE , BABARAZ, AND DARKHART TO ATTACK THE RIDER. THE PLAN MIGHT HAVE WORKED, BUT AFTER RETURNING TO THE ARENA, VENOM SEEMED TO GET MORE PLEASURE IN TRYING TO DESTROY THE RIDER THAN IN WINNING THE TITLE. THE REF FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND DISQ. VENOM FOR BRINGING EVERYTHING HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON TO THE RING. VENOM MIGHT VERY WELL HAVE RECAPTURED THE TITLE ON THIS NIGHT, AND MIGHT VERY WELL DO IT IN THE FUTURE, IF HE CAN DIRECT HIS ANGER TOWARD CAPTURING THE BELT AND NOT TRYING TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT THE RIDER IS INDEED THE JAGGED EDGE.
TOURNAMENT FINAL:
IN A SHOCKING UPSET, ROOKIE "MAD DOG" BUTCH WIGGINS WON THE J.Y.D. MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP OVER MICHAEL DARKHART! THIS WAS A VERY EVEN MATCH, WHICH I'M SURE SURPRISED DARKHART. AT THE END, DARKHART'S EXPERIENCE FINALLY TOOK OVER AND HE GOT THE HARTBREAKER. IN WHAT COULD ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A PAYBACK, HAMMER HERRON GOT ON THE APRON AND DARKHART PROMPTLY PUSHED HIM TO THE FLOOR. HAMMER PULLED THE FORMER CHAMP'S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, AND A HURT MAD DOG MADE THE PIN. DARKHART CLAIMED THE BIG HAMMER HELD HIS LEGS DURING THE 3 COUNT, BUT THE REF COULDN'T FIND ONE FAN THAT WOULD AGREE. A DAZED BUT PROUD WIGGINS EXCEPTED THE WINNING PRIZE MONEY AND THE RETIRED NORTH AM. HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BELT, A TITLE HELD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY THE JUNK YARD DOG. CAN THE MAD DOG BE THE NEXT PEOPLE'S CHAMP IN MID-SOUTH WRESTLING? POSSIBLY SO! BUT, THIS BRINGS UP THE BIG QUESTION ONCE AGAIN: WHERE IS JAGGED EDGE?

2 HOT STORIES IN MID-SOUTH WRESTLING.
FIRST, AS MOST FANS KNOW BY NOW, JAGGED EDGE LOST THE MID-SOUTH TITLE TO MISSISSIPPI CHAMPION VENOM IN GREENWOOD, MS. AND IT WAS A LOSER LEAVES MID-SOUTH MATCH. LOOKS LIKE JAGGED EDGE WAS CAUGHT IN A SWERVE AS HE WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED TO MEET THE 400 LB. BABARAZ. FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO THE PROMOTER, BABARAZ WAS CONSPICUOUSLY MISSING FROM THE ARENA. VENOM, ALREADY DEFEATED IN A NON-TITLE MATCH BY KENNY VALIANT, PARADED TO THE RING TELLING BUDDY HUGGINS HE SHOULD BE THE REPLACEMENT SINCE HE DEFEATED JAGGED EDGE FOR THE MISS. CHAMPIONSHIP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. ON THIS RARE OCCASION, THE FANS AGREED WITH VENOM. TO THE SHOCK OF MANY, INCLUDING MYSELF, VENOM DID INDEED DEFEAT EDGE FOR THE TITLE (WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MICHAEL DARKHART). NOW ON TO THE 2ND SHOCKER IN GRENADA, MS. SEPT. 16: VENOM, ALONG WITH DR.X, BRAGGED TO THE FANS ABOUT THE DEMISE OF JAGGED EDGE IN MID-SOUTH WRESTLING. PROMOTER HUGGINS, NOT WANTING TO LET THE FANS DOWN, GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE MATCHMAKER ON THE NIGHT. ONE BY ONE, WRESTLERS WERE BROUGHT OUT AS POTENTIAL CHALLENGERS. DR.X TOLD HUGGINS VENOM WOULD NOT WRESTLE BABARAZ OR DARKHART AS BOTH WERE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY. THEN, THE FATAL MISTAKE WAS MADE AS VENOM TOLD HUGGINS HE'D TAKE ON ANYONE. MID-SOUTH MATCHMAKERS THEN TOLD THE ANNOUNCER THEY HAD ONE MORE CHALLENGER. THE LIGHTS WENT DARK, THE CROWD TOTALLY SILENT. A SONG NOT HEARD IN YEARS BLARED FROM THE SPEAKERS. THE SILENCE WAS REPLACED BY A THUNDEROUS OVATION AS THE FANS NEW THEIR HERO HAD RETURNED AFTER 15 YEARS. YES, IT WAS: THE MIDNITE RIDER THIS MATCH HAD THE CHARACTER OF WRESTLING IN DAYS LONG GONE NOW. VENOM, SUFFERING FROM 3 BROKEN RIBS, FOUGHT A VALIANT BATTLE BUT THIS NIGHT WAS NOT READY FOR THE RIDER. EVEN DR.X'S ATTEMPTED INTERFERENCE WAS THWARTED BY THE RIDER, AND ONE "THUMPEED" LATER, THE MID-SOUTH TITLE HAD CHANGED HANDS. WHO IS THIS MIDNITE RIDER? HE WILL ONLY STATE THAT HE IS HERE TO PROTECT THE TITLE UNTIL JUSTICE IS SERVED. THE FANS COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! VENOM, WHO RETAINS THE MISS. TITLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ON THE LINE, SWEARS REVENGE. IN OTHER ACTION, MICHAEL DARKHART GAVE MAD DOG BUTCH WIGGINS HIS FIRST DEFEAT IN THE AREA. IN THE PROCESS, WIGGINS ALSO SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AFTER TAKING SEVERAL HARTBREAKERS DURING THE MATCH. DARKHART BETTER BEWARE BECAUSE THE MAD DOG IS BECOMING RABID! SPECIAL REFEREE, FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT BOXING CHAMPION, RANDY PHILLIPS CALLED A HALT TO THE BABARAZ/ KENNY VALIANT MATCH WHEN THE ACTION POURED ALL OVER THE BUILDING AND COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO TAKE A CAGE, OR BETTER YET, SOME BARB WIRE TO HOLD THESE 2 IN THE RING. WE'LL SEE. HAMMER HERRON AND THE REVEREND HEAVEN LEE LOVE WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW. NEWCOMER LOVE TALKED HIS WAY OUT OF EVEN A POSSIBLE VICTORY BY RUNNING HIS MOUTH OR AS HE CLAIMS "SERMONIZING" THE FIRST 8 MINUTES OF THE 10 MIN. TIME LIMIT PUT ON THE MATCH. HAMMER WAS SEATHING IN THE DRESSING ROOM FOLLOWING THE MATCH AS HE WANTS TO PUT THE REVEREND IN HIS PLACE. IN THE OPENING MATCH, DR.X MADE IT A QUICK NIGHT AS HE DEFEATED THE 450 LB. MAN MOUTAIN MAXIE IN 10 SECONDS. THIS WRITER DIDN'T SEE IT, BUT SOME FANS CLAIMED VENOM ATTACKED MAXIE IN THE BACK OF THE ARENA ON THE WAY TO THE RING. THE ACTION JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AS MID-SOUTH WRESTLING, MISSISSIPPI'S ONLY LEGIT WRESTLING ORGANIZATION, CONTINUES TO GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, AND THAT'S WRESTLING AT IT'S BEST!

  • Extreme Midsouth Wrestling, Mississippi's only legit wrestling organization, invaded Grenada, Ms. August 19, 2000. Another sell-out crowd enjoyed a great night of action on a hot Miss. night. in the main event, Mid-South Champion Jagged Edge retained his title by d.q. over former champ Michael Darkhart when the 400 lb. Babaraz saved Darkhart from certain defeat by attacking the champ. The fans would not leave the building until promoter Buddy Huggins granted a match Sept. 16 between Jagged Edge and Babaraz. Babaraz's manager, Dr.X, although absent on this night, will most certainly be there as his top man shoots for the top title in the southern states. In other action, Luscious Kenny Valiant and Babaraz were out of control and very bloody causing the referee to throw the match out. Newcomer "Hammer" Herron was the victor over Seno Medico "Doctor Doom", and "Mad Dog" Butch Williams was the winner over the Lightning Kid when Michael Darkhart interfered. Both the Kid and Williams appear to be potential contenders for the Mid-South title in the future. Mid-South Wrestling would like to thank the fans of Grenada, Ms., as well as all their fans in Ms., Ala., and Ark. for continuing to support the area's only true wrestling promotion. "If it's not Extreme Midsouth Wrestling, it's backyard!" "The Watcher."

Steve, being the "gentleman" he is, talked the player down and into a handshake. of course, not wanting baseball to get the upper hand on wrestling, the handshake was followed by a short closeline which dropped the player like a rock. the player was handcuffed and taken away by the sheriff's dept. and later released.

  • Tracy Smothers defeated Masked Medic (7 seconds) with a reverse cradle. Following this match, Smothers told the fans and promoter Buddy Huggins that he would like a little stiffer competition, and to "bring on anyone and I'll knock 'em down!"
  • The people's champion, "The Jagged Edge" defeated Venom (in a very grueling 17 minutes) with an inside cradle. Venom had controlled the better part of the match and didn't take the loss very well. Venom and his manager, Dr.X tried to turn Edge into the people's pothole for the next 5 minutes. Jagged Edge finally evened the odds with a chair and sent them both running (and rolling) to safer ground.
  • Promoter Buddy Huggins gave Tracy Smothers his wish and brought out the 400 lb. Babaraz. Mr. Smothers was also informed that this would be a no dq.falls count anywhere match. For 20 minutes these two beat the hell out of each other with everything they could put their hands on including boards, pipes, chairs, barrels, etc. The referee finally through the match out when he (and security) could no longer keep any form of control, or for that matter, keep them in the building. The fans definitely want to see this one again.
  • One half of two of the all-time great tag teams came together as PG-13's Wolfie D and the Tommy Rogers of the legendary Fantastics met wrestling's hottest tag team, the Lost Generation. Former boxer Bob Sicero was brought in as special referee. LG's drake immediately tried to intimidate Sicero but quickly found out it wasn't going to happen. This was an evenly fought match and the tag team expertise really showed for both teams. At the end, referee Sicero had taken all of the abuse he was going to take, and showed the temper he was known for in boxing circles. After being pushed around for the last time, he dropped a right hand on Drake's jaw and Wolfie D covered him for a rather quick three count. Lost Generation bitterly argued about this one, and demanded a rematch. The fans want this one back again.
  • The main event brought on a highly anticipated match to determine the top wrestler in the South. Both titles (and bragging rights) were up for grabs as Mid-South champion, the Experiment met North American champion "The Black Sheep," Danny Roland. As usual, the Experiment took control of the match with solid amateur wrestling holds and had Roland squirming for a solid 10 minutes. Roland didn't come to lay down on this night though, and fought his way back in the match and finally taking control, showing that this belt wasn't just handed to him. Roland had things going his way until he made a mistake many other's have made and exposed himself to an armbar. Roland held on as long as he could but had to submit. He had to realize that a rematch would be a sure thing, but a broken arm wouldn't make it happen any faster. To everyone's surprise, the Experiment spoke for the first time to the crowd. He claimed he was tired of the "gimmick" of the Experiment and promptly removed the hood exposing himself to be Michael Darkhart. The jagged edge came to the ring challenging Darkhart to a title shot, which was quickly accepted. Darkhart just as quickly showed Edge it wouldn't be easy, as he jumped him from behind and left him lying. Taking the belt from Darkhart isn't going to be an easy task for anyone. He now holds two title belts that have a solid history dating back to the 70's with Cowboy Bill Watts, Waldo von Erich, and the legendary Spoiler, to the 90's with Stan Hansen, the Super Destroyer, Cactus Jack, and others. Can Darkhart add his name to this list of legends? I say it is quite possible.
