Mid-South Wrestling was the regional event that toured thru Baton Rouge and New Orleans venues in the 1970's, and a standard requirement on my grandfather's TV every Saturday night when I was a kid . . . my favorite was The Junkyard Dog (a.k.a. Sylvester Ritter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkyard_Dog . . . although I never did get the JD action figure.
JYD later went into the "big time" as a WFF superstar. Fellow Mid-South alumni included, among many others, André the Giant, Krusher Khruschev, King Kong Bundy, Skandor Akbar and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Lita “LATIN HELLCAT” Marez 07/21/07
Women’s wrestling legend Lita “Latin Hellcat” Marez passed away this morning. Lita held several World championships throughout her 13 year career. She was trained by WWE legend Mae Young and had many memorable feuds with her back in California during the 60’s for the States Women’s Championship Division title. She trained for the LA T-Birds in Pico Rivera, CA; however, was unable to master the craft of roller derby. Later she found the wrestling training school in Reseda, CA operated by the late great Mildred Burke and trained by Johnnie Mae Young. Lita mastered the “Boston crab” and the “Rocker”. They became her signature moves.
