Didn't need it's own thread, but doesn't fit in with WWE, ROH,or TNA news. If this is half as good as the Memphis Heat documentary, it's 5/5 stars. Not a wwe production, this has big time potential. UPDATE ON CROCKETT FAMILY DOCUMENTARY: THE GOOD OLD DAYS Our friends at http://www.highspots.com sent word that their documentary on Jim Crockett Promotions and its legacy - "The Good Old Days" - has been completed. The film will be available on DVD starting next week. The DVD is already available for pre-orders. In what has to be considered a major feather in their cap, Highspots and Director Michael Elliot, who was working on the film when Highspots became involved, were able to get members of the Crockett family, including Jim and Jackie to agree to sit down for interviews, making the film the first time that multiple members of the family have discussed the rise, fall and legacy of the jewel of the Mid-Atlantic wrestling region. The film will also feature a lot of never before seen footage shot by Virginia videographer George Pantas, who had been given permission by Crockett Promotions to shoot footage at ringside. That material will be featured in the film as well as in bonus material on the 3 DVD set the documentary will be a part of. The film will have an official premiere screening during the Mid-Atlantic Legends weekend in Charlotte. Set for the 3 DVD set: DISC 1 Documentary Chapters Run Time- 2 hours Chapters Big Jim Crockett, Sr. Tag Teams John Ringley George Scott Valentine and Wahoo Plane Crash Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling Rotating Bookers Dusty Gets the Job TBS Four Horsemen Magnum TA National Expansion Starrcade '87 What Happened Legacy of Jim Crockett Promotions BONUS FEATURES Mid-Atlantic Memories David Crockett Stories DISC 2 SPECIAL FEATURES and BOUNS MATERIAL George Pantas Match Footage George Pantas The Dusty Finish Clash of Champions Crockett Cup Great American Bash US Title JJ Dillon's Crib Jim Cornette's Crib Fanfest Promo Kickstarter Promo 1 Kickstarter Promo 2 BONUS INTERVIEW MATERIAL FROM: Ole Anderson Paul Jones Jackie Crockett JJ Dillon Magnum TA Tommy Young Masked Superstar DISC 3 BONUS MATERIAL INTERVIEW BONUS MATERIAL FROM: Baby Doll Tully Blanchard Jimmy Valiant Ronnie Garvin Rock-n-Roll Express Ivan Koloff Jim Cornette Don Kernodle The Entire Jim Crockett Interview |

Was this the DVD that was on Raw this past Monday, just seen a picture when in Maddox's office, looked like it had JYD, Jake the Snake, and the Million Dollar man if I remember right. |

What you saw on Raw was the cover of Legends of Mid-South Wrestling DVD that comes out in September. This new Crockett one isn't produced by WWE, so it should be awesome. Kind of like the independently produced World Class DVD from a few years ago. Much better than the one WWE made that came out around the same time (but the wwe one is pretty good too). I mistakenly put Mid-South in the title rather than Mid-atlantic so it was misleading. The Mid-South listing is: DISC 1 The Beginnings Ted DiBiase Ted DiBiase vs. Paul Orndorff Mid-South Wrestling • December 10, 1981 Junkyard Dog Andre the Giant, Dusty Rhodes & Junkyard Dog vs. Afa, Sika & Big Cat Ernie Ladd Mid-South Wrestling • January 14, 1982 Rat Pack – DiBiase & Borne & Duggan North American & Mid-South Tag Team Championship No Disqualification Match Junkyard Dog & Mr. Olympia vs. Ted DiBiase & Matt Borne Mid-South Wrestling • October 28, 1982 Coal Miner’s Glove Steel Cage Tuxedo Loser Leaves Town Match “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. Ted DiBiase Houston, TX • March 22, 1985 Travel of the Territory Tony Atlas Benches 500 Pounds Mid-South Wrestling • January 1983 Mid-South Tag Team Championship Match Ted DiBiase & Matt Borne vs. Andre the Giant & Tony Atlas Mid-South Wrestling • February 10, 1983 Magnum TA Announcement of Magnum TA’s Manager Mid-South Wrestling • November 1983 Mr. Wrestling II Conducts Workouts with Magnum TA Mid-South Wrestling • December 1983 Magnum TA & Mr. Wrestling II vs. The Midnight Express Mid-South Wrestling • January 27, 1984 North American Heavyweight Championship Match Mr. Wrestling II vs. Magnum TA Mid-South Wrestling • May 17, 1984 DISC 2 WWE Legends of Mid South Wrestling Full DVD Match Listing “Hacksaw” Butch Reed A Painted Dog Mid-South Wrestling • May 1984 A Tar & Feathered Dog Mid-South Wrestling • May 1984 Ghetto Street Fight Junkyard Dog vs. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed Mid-South Wrestling • June 16, 1984 Midnight Express & Rock n Roll Express Rivalry Mid-South Tag Team Championship No Disqualification Match The Rock N’ Roll Express vs. The Midnight Express Mid-South Wrestling • May 24, 1984 Jim Ross Interviews The Rock N’ Roll Express Mid-South Wrestling • October 1984 The Rock N’ Roll Express vs. The Midnight Express Jim Cornette in a Straight Jacket Shawn Michaels Learns from Ted DiBiase Shawn Michaels vs. Ted DiBiase Mid-South Wrestling • December 1984 Terry Taylor’s Big Match against Ric Flair NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match Ric Flair vs. Terry Taylor New Orleans, LA • June 1, 1985 DISC 3 Muhammad Ali Mid-South Television Championship Match The Snowman vs. Jake Roberts New Orleans, LA • June 1, 1985 Ted DiBiase Becomes a Good Guy NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match Ric Flair vs. Ted DiBiase Mid-South Wrestling • November 15, 1985 Mid-South Goes National Rob Ricksteiner vs. Nick Patrick Power Pro Wrestling • August 3, 1986 The Bladerunners vs. John O’Reilly & Ken Massey Universal Wrestling Federation • March 1986 “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan UWF Heavyweight Championship Match Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan Universal Wrestling Federation • August 6, 1986 The Fabulous Freebirds Lumberjack Match Ted DiBiase & Dr. Death Steve Williams vs. Michael PS Hayes & Buddy Roberts Universal Wrestling Federation • August 31, 1986 Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy UWF Heavyweight Championship Match Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy vs. Dr. Death Steve Williams Universal Wrestling Federation • September 29, 1986 One Man Gang UWF Heavyweight Championship Match One Man Gang vs. Big Bubba Rogers Universal Wrestling Federation • June 1987 Steve “Dr. Death” Williams UWF Heavyweight Championship Match Steve “Dr. Death” Williams vs. Big Bubba Rogers Oklahoma City, OK • July 11, 1987 BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVES Mid-South Tag Team Championship Match The Rock N’ Roll Express vs. The Midnight Express Mid-South Wrestling • April 19 1984 UWF Heavyweight Championship #1 Contenders Match Sting vs. Terry Taylor Universal Wrestling Federation • June 13, 1987 Ted DiBiase gets his tyres slashed North American Heavyweight Championship Junkyard Dog vs. Ted DiBiase Mid-South Wrestling • June 25, 1982 Superdome Steel Cage Match Ted DiBiase & Steve “Dr. Death” Williams vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts & The Barbarian Mid-South Wrestling • August 9 1985 Buzz Sawyer “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. Buzz Sawyer Mid-South Wrestling • November 11, 1985 Jim Cornette’s Favourite Moment in Mid-South Cornette Gets Caked Mid-South Wrestling • March 30 1984 Bill Watts Needs Help Mid-South Wrestling • March 1984 Last Stampede Match Bill Watts & Stagger Lee vs. The Midnight Express Mid-South Wrestling • April 22 1984 Lessons on elevating talent Dusty Rhodes Travels with Boyd Pierce Bill Watts tells a story about Ernie Ladd’s Father |

Mid-Atlantic and Mid South were two of my favorite territories to follow back in the day. I thought the UWF with its brawling style was the precursor to the hardcore era. |
