Mid-South Wrestling
Mid-South Wrestling ran from 1979-1986 and was owned by “Cowboy” Bill Watts. He purchased the territory from Leroy McGuirk when it had been known as Tri-state Wrestling. In 1986, Watts changed the name again to the Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF). Watts attempted to take the UWF national to compete with Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett. The attempt failed, and Watts sold the UWF to Crockett in 1987. WWE bought the promotion’s tape library in 2012.
