Episode 375: The Drama Cufflinks Bring

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING features Part Two of our deep look into the world of Mid-South Wrestling in 1985, when it exploded into one of the hottest territories in the country. This was Bill Watts’ vision at its peak: hard-hitting action, larger-than-life characters, and storylines that felt raw and real. From the rise of stars like Ted DiBiase, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jim Cornette, Junkyard Dog, Magnum T.A., and the Rock ’n’ Roll Express, to some of the most intense rivalries ever seen inside a wrestling ring, Mid-South in ’85 was unlike anything else on television. This wasn’t cartoon wrestling: this was a fight, and the fans believed every minute of it. Grab your seat, because we’re about to relive the drama, the chaos, and the magic that made Mid-South Wrestling in 1985 unforgettable.
