Can't deny the results. Mid south is easily the best American promotion of the 80s.
Based Cowboy.

If you're stupid enough to get in a bar fight when you're making good money, you at least better fucking win
It's nearly as bad as Inoki pushing guys who had no shoot skills into MMA fights

While true they shouldn't be losing fights, their credibility goes down the shitter and people will stop booing them

It's not nearly as bad as Inoki forcing guys who had no shoot skills into MMA fights and pushing them based off that

Because it would happen in a town that they came through every week or two and word would get around. If wrestlers started being seen as not even being able to beat the local barflies in fights it could kill the town.

No big name in the promotion as far as i know. But then again, no big name in the promotion ever lost a bar fight
The closest story i know of is the one portrayed on Tales From The Territores, where Jim Duggan got sucker punched by a big fellow, ate some big shots, but knocked the guy down when he finally got a hold of him. However, a wrestler who was with him urged him to leave before he made his comeback because the cops were on the way.

You have no idea how small town culture worked in the 80s, and still does to an extent.
