I assumed Crockett was the finale but I'm glad they're getting Mid South in.

Chris Masters/Chris Adonis is a big favorite of mine. Unless he straight-up doesn't want it, I cannot understand why he isn't their world champion, as he's got everything you'd want in a holder of the top belt. Back in 2021 local indie booked Chris Masters,and Ted Dibiase SR,for their annual 2 day big show,Widowfest. Buddy ,who did the King of Wrestling podcast,was working the event as a manager. He talked to Chris backstage and learned that Chris years back got married and his wife is fairly well off. So Masters only wrestles when he wants too. Was told what Masters was asking to work a indie and it was much cheaper than I expected. That would make sense why he wouldn't be a world champ, or go to AEW or back to WWE or something, if he just didn't want to commit and was doing this for his own fun. Interesting.

Watched last weeks JCP episode
Not one story of an eyeball being pulled out of its socket or eyeball related trauma which leads me to believe that JCP was a territory of p****s.
Yes most of the roster is 60 or over and all of them could still whip my ass but it’s the only logical conclusion I can make

Something unnatural about seeing Dibiase clean shaven.

They made a real point to try and make Watts sound like he wasnt a racist, given the interview he may or may not have been fired from WCW for, that was an interesting thing to hear

Watts put JYD, Ron Simmons and wanted to have Ahmed Johnson in a prominent role, his thing was a black baby face. But maybe he was racist, I don’t know.

I dont either to be fair, I just heard that the reason he was cut from WCW was for saying racist stuff and supporting some racist politician. Maybe that was someone spiking him cos they didnt like his booking.

I'm not typically one to comment about this sort of thing, but the problem is that yes, Watts had plenty of black wrestlers who worked for him and those like JYD and Ladd that he called friends. However the infamous PWT interview lays out how he did possess some remarkably dated views on race relations and lax attitude on discrimination by business owners that borders on outright indifference about it. Even if one wanted to be remarkably generous and say Watts was himself not overtly racist, his clear hostility/disinterest towards understanding the history of and problems from historical racism makes him a close minded a**hole if nothing else.
That's without getting into his less than flattering remarks about the LGBT community in the same interview.

So if they do a second season, what other territories should they discuss?

Any other attempts to recapture WCCW in Dallas. The Texas USWA, Global, Crockett, even the CWA as it was the one time the Sportatorium got on PPV.
