Fast sell:

Mid-South Wrestling is a territory that is arguably one of the most important places in wrestling history. It was a breeding ground for many who went onto to be become legends in the world of WWE. This is a compilation highlighting what made this territory stand out from the pack. This is Legends Of Mid-South Wrestling.

Synopsis:

Mid-South was one of the hottest wrestling promotions of the 1980s where future stars such as Shawn Michaels, Jake Roberts, Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog and Hacksaw Duggan began their careers. Consider some of the best talent with personas that blurred the lines between good and evil. This 3-disc DVD/2-Disc Blu-ray compilation features the biggest matches and biggest stories of the Mid-South promotion and provides a look into early the careers of some of wrestling's greatest legends.

We like it because:

Mid-South Wrestling is a very important territory in the history of wrestling. Without this promotion many of the legends we know and love may never have appeared on WWE programming. Names like Ted Dibiase, Bill Watts, Junkyard Dog, Jake Roberts & Shawn Michaels.

This 3-Disc DVD/2-Disc Blu-ray is a showcase of what made this promotion the history making breeding ground for wrestling that it was. You get to see classic matches, you'll hear from those who were there and even get to see some wonderful moments that you thought were never possible or perhaps never knew about. For example, did you know that boxing legend Muhammad Ali was involved in Mid-South Wrestling?
