I'm most of the way through the Mid-South blu-ray, and there are some puzzling moments about it. First, JR does new commentary on some matches, pretending to be old commentary. My question is, why wouldn't they do this on the War Games set? Would've made the matches much better.
Second, some of this stuff is really corny. JR wandering blind-folded trying to find Stagger Lee being the worst offender. And Mr. Wrestling II looks way too much like an infant wearing a diaper and a mask to be taken seriously. They mention that Mr. Wrestling II got a new protege and the protege became Mr. Wrestling II and Mr. Wrestling II became Mr. Wrestling I? Am I getting that right? Who was the new Mr. Wrestling II?
I know that JYD came out to Queen, Midnight Express came out to the theme from the movie, Freebirds is obvious and RNR came out to Old Time Rock and Roll. What did everybody else come out to? Dibiase? The Blade Runners? Speaking of the Blade Runners, how odd is it watching the both of them trying to be Hawk? Sting is especially weird. And the Rick Steiner/Nick Patrick match is both awful and bizarre.
You should really check out the set when you get the chance.
Dammit, everyone keeps rubbing it in that I haven't watched this set yet.
Anyone watch that CM Punk documentary thing on Netflix? Best In The World? I watched that today. It was pretty good too. SO THERE.
