Louisiana Championship Title Match

 
Bob Orton Jr. defeats JYD for the Louisiana Championship.  Orton Jr. got the pinfall by tossing a powder-like substance in the eyes of JYD and scoring the pinfall.
 
 
Mid South Tag Team Championship  
The Ortons defeat Cowboy Bill Watts & Junkyard Dog  

An ironic twist has both JYD and Bob Orton Jr. competing in this match after just competing in the Louisiana Title Championship.  The match was delayed for several minutes, as medical personel saw to the eye injury sustained to JYD at the hands of Orton Jr.  The Ortons protest that the match must begin, and it does.
 
JYD shows why he has become so beloved to Mid South fans by fighting with his head and eye bandaged, and showing incredible courage despite his injury.
 
Unfortunately, Bob Roop comes to the ring, and put the final nail in the friendship between himself and Bill Watts, as he aids the Ortons in the victory.
 
 
North American Heavyweight Championship  
Bob Roop defeats Killer Karl Kox  - Kox must leave the Mid South for 90 days

 A bloody and battered Bob Roop manages to escape with his North American Title still in his grasp, in a long and hard fought match.  Bill Watts came down to ringside to cheer on Killer Karl Kox, but Roop still manages to prevail.  After the match Watts gets in the face of Roop, who takes a wild swing at Watts, who then K.O.’s Roop in the middle of the ring.  Watts holds the North American Championship Belt high in the air, to the crowd's approval, before draping the belt over the lifeless body of Roop.  Watts and a dejected Kox embrace as they leave the ring together.
 
 
 
 
 

A ton of action here. Usually a tourny can cover most of a card by itself, but with the tag titles, NA title and Mississippi title on the line withhte tourny it was a full show.
 
Like the possible feud between Orton Jr. and the JYD. There is a lot of mileage that can be covered between those two outstanding talents.
 
I was wondering when Bill Watts would set himself up again as a champion. I expect his feud with Bob Roop to become as violent as anything the NWA has seen in quite a while.
 
Good building show.

--Good Superdome Spectacular
--Dusek is a coward
--Hated to see Stubbs lose
--The Ortons rule the World, or at least Mid-South
--Good win for Roop

-That was some good tag matches
-JYD got the bad end on that one he was my pick
-Just one thing to say. HOT!!!

the tournament was good, but i think the mantel vs stubbs match made it.  
glad roop won
