Sweet….cannot wait for this one.
I’m really diggin’ the cover!
does anyone kno if espn classic still plays uwf or if its even a channel anymore because when I got espn classic they used to play uwf and awa at night it was awsome
never really watched any midsouth but I vcant wait to learn about a big part of history and I love the cover I like how jyd finally got a little recognition
When is the official artwork of WWE PayBack 2013 going to be up on the website??
Awesome cover! MSW was an awesome promotion. Even though I have most of these matches, I will still get it for the ones I do not have. Can’t wait to see the rest of the listing.
Nice cover, great seeing JYD front and center…not too familiar with Mid-South since it never aired in our area. This is going to be a nice history lesson. Definitely looking forward to it.
Well if I can’t have a best of Dibiase DVD, I guess this is the next best thing. Can’t wait!
The match listing is impressive. Hopefully the Taylor-Flair match will make the cut along with the Fantastics-Sheeperders match especially from the Crockett Cup.
That is a nice cover! I am going to ask for this for my birthday which is in September!
Definitely looking forward to the Legends of Mid-South. Nice cover.
First War Games, then Bret, then Mick Foley, then ECW Unreleased Vol. 2…now Legends of Mid-South!!! I didn’t grow up with Mid-South Wrestling (or World Class Championship Wrestling, for that matter) but this DVD set sounds and looks very interesting!!! I just might get this one after all!!!
That cover is pretty vintage looking. Well done.
I love the cover on this, and the matches and segments look good too. I haven’t seen the Flair-Taylor match yet but I’m sure it will make the final cut. Looking forward to it.
I think that match will be a Blu-Ray exclusive.
I just hope the match quality is still good now as it was back then. lots of names there from guys who eventually made it to the big time.
September is ages away… don’t ya just hate July & August? 😉 lol
Given that Triple H’s set is released in September too, yeah.
Man this set looks awesome. I got to watch some Mid-South back in the 80’s, it was so good.
WWE is killing it this year with DVD’s. Bret, Foley, War Games and now this one.
Glad I finally got a Blu-Ray player.
Now, if Payback gets released on Blu-Ray in the UK, I’ll go out and buy myself a region free Blu-Ray player. Extreme Rules was alright but I need Payback in my Blu-Ray collection.
