FOR THE RECORD: JR & everyone's favorite wrestlers of that time were afraid of Bob Sweetan (a supposed real tough guy) and/or did not have an issue with sexually abusing children but *LARRY "THE AXE" HENNIG* would not have it and was afraid of no man. *LARRY HENNIG* came into the locker room as Sweetan was bragging to everyone about an underage girl, to which *LARRY* told him _"I have a daughter, so you better shut that shit up right now."_ Sweetan stopped talking but not for long. As soon as he said something else inappropriate, *HENNIG* walked straight over and viscously double poked Sweetan in the eyes; causing him to fall on the floor, screaming and crying. *"THE AXE"* then dragged him outside the building, returned for his bag/luggage and tossed it outside. Then, without saying a word, *LARRY HENNIG* came back inside the locker room and got ready for his match. That was the end of Bob Sweetan's run in that territory. (Roddy Piper told that story, when asked about the origin of the 'double eye poke' that he always did in the ring.)

Growing up in New Orleans, I discovered professional wrestling at the age of 8 years old in 1981. I watched Mid South Wrestling religiously every Saturday evening at 5 pm on WGNO TV 26 from 1981 until Bill Watts sold the company to Jim Crockett. I attended many weekly Monday night cards at the Municipal Auditorium. I also was in attendance at many of the quarterly Superdome Extravaganza cards. Hearing Jim tell these stories gave me great insight as to what things were like behind the scenes. Thanks to J.R. and Conrad for putting together this great content and taking us fans back in time. Looking forward to more Mid South stories for sure!

I was amazed at how large Andre was...not tall, but WIDE, THICK, hands that seemed to be bigger than anything I had ever seen in my life. I remember there was an older lady who clearly took the effort to circle the ring with her walking cane who was working her way to Ackbar and security let her get 3/4 of the way around the ring before she was escorted back to her seat.

Didn't really start learning about the business, no not from the dirt sheets, until the mid to late 90s. I'm really glad JR felt better to talk about some of his experience. It's good to get things off your chest. And it's good for all of us to hear about how things used to be. The past is not to be feared. It's to enjoy and learn from. Thanks fellas

I remember Mid South when it would come through the town I grew up in Bastrop Louisiana. They put the ring up at the 50 yard line at the high school football field. If you bought tickets for ringside instead of bleacher seats they would hand you a metal folding chair when you handed in your ticket. After the show was over you had to bring the metal chair back to the gate on your way out. That was the early mid 80s.

I grew up 30 miles east of Shreveport Louisiana so Mid-South / UWF Wrestling was a big part of my childhood. What JR said about the wrestlers being tough was true. I had a co-worker tell me he blind sided Paul Orndorff in a bar on the Bossier strip one night. He said" Don I hit him so hard that he went down but the funny thing was all the way down he never took his eyes off of me". I asked him what he did next and he said "I got the hell out of there that man was going to kill me"Lol!

I have great memories and stories and autographs of all the wrestlers who passed through the territory during the 80's minus one; Bob Br9wn told me NEVER to talk to Bob Sweetan....not even to make eye contact.

On the subject of fundamentals: I dance Salsa. I wasn't really taught good fundamentals and only saw fancy moves and thought that was important. Now that I know moves I wish I was taught fundamentals. I have basically restarted my journey because the basic stuff needs work, and takes 3 x longer. Fundamentals are the most important. I now get more compliments doing half the shit I used to. Just like wrestling, when you know how to spice up the basic movements, you will get maximum crowd enjoyment (your lady dance partner) doing the least amount of work possible.

I don’t think this is a particularly dark episode. Yes, there’s some darkness…yes, there are monsters. But there are also good guys, consummate professionals and life-changing mentors. It’s LIFE…this is what every person encounters along the way. I’ve encountered every personality mentioned here…from the horrible dungeon people who make the newspapers to the perennial righteous. It’s life…

Imagine this - Monday Night Raw is on with a PPV like card for free, Monday Night Nitro is on at the same time, a Monday night Football game with playoff implications is also on. You're in school, no job, no responsibilities. Life was so good. You wake up and before you know it you're in a living hell in 2023 and ask yourself......What happened?

Given Conrad's warning i thought this was going to be worse. These thinga are all horrific but its nothing we havent heard before. As bad as this stuff is, imagine what we didnt hear and what isn't being told. Scary thought.

Jr mentioned as a kid watching wrestling and roller derby on Saturday afternoons. I did the same in New York. Ray Morgan was announcer. Memories !!!
