As we exclusively revealed yesterday, more Mid-South Wrestling is coming to the WWE Network this Monday. Normally, WWE waits for the bulk content to land before spotlighting it with Hidden Gems. On this occasion, however, it appears that our treasure-hunting archivists were too excited to wait. With that in mind, we have a full card from New Orleans. If that isn’t enough, WWE has sprinkled in some Houston and Central States action. Let’s take a look:

Dated 04/02/1977, we have a little over 6 minutes of highlights of an NWA World Heavyweight Championship bout between Dick Murdoch vs Champion Harley Race. WWE’s description refers to this as footage from Mid-South’s predecessor, NWA Tri-State. However, records suggest that this match actually took place in the Central States territory. Edit: this was apparently a mistake on my part. As made clear to me by Twitter user AlGetzWrestling, this match did take place under the Tri-State banner, regardless of records on internet databases. A newspaper clipping showing this can be found here.

Next up, we make our way to Houston as Kerry von Erich battles Gino Hernandez for the Texas Heavyweight Championship. While Houston Wrestling was a separate entity, Cowboy Bill Watts and Mid-South had such a close working relationship with Paul Boesch that Watts received a copy of any shows featuring Mid-South talent. Thus this was part of WWE’s purchase of the library and WWE often lumps both together.

Finally, we have the main event for this week – a full Mid-South card from the Municipal Auditorium! We can confirm that this WWE Network upload will include the following:

El Corsario & Steve Williams vs. The Bruise Brothers (Mad Dog Boyd & Pork Chop Cash)

Jake Roberts vs. Lord Humongous

Mid-South Tag Team Title Match: Al Perez & Wendell Cooley (c) vs. Eddie Gilbert & The Nightmare

Bounty Match: Butch Reed vs. Dick Slater

No Disqualification Match: Buzz Sawyer vs. Jim Duggan

Here are WWE’s official descriptions for all 3 videos:
