@junelima363 Ashley retired because of that move. He was injured legit. Watts would refer to it a few times over the next several months as an example of wrestling only being for the really tough. He'd make ti out that Ashley ran scared when he realized how tough Mid-South Wrestling was.
All these guys,jake,barbarian,humongous,butch reed,dick slater all left b4 the upswing of uwf. Imagine if theyd stayed and u had humongous n barbarian v the blade runners or kamala n gang v humongous n barbarian. Jake v gordy,reed v gordy. Imagine humongous n barbarian in the crockett cup. Many good possibilities.
I remember watching this when I was a kid, Channel 39 in Houston. I was devastated when Barbarian turned on Jake. They were so good at being bad guys the crowd turned them.
I wonder why Barbarian left Mid-South all of a sudden? The angle never really finished.
@kixxclub Watts frequently brought this match up and dogged Ashley for being a quitter. He'd use this as an example as to why just anyone can't be a wrestler. Only the toughest.
YouTube thanks and please keep the old Mid South matches coming!! I am still a die hard Mid South fan. Jim Ross, Boyd Pierce, Bill Watts, Butch Reed, JYD, Hacksaw Duggan and the one and only General Skandor Akbar!!!

Great memories of Mid-South. Here in Shreveport, I went to alot of the house shows. When Barbarian turn on Jake, I was shocked. Great battles.
