The WWF also began to run cards in these markets and made it clear that it wanted to be the only game in town. The established promotions were shocked, enraged, and also very worried. This was not some hand to mouth outlaw running a few towns and scraping together a TV show with a rag tag crew of wrestlers. This was an established promotion with big name stars and a good amount of capital. This was war! Promoters fought the WWF expansion in different ways. Some buried their heads in the sand and carried on as if nothing had happened. Others made attempts to update their TV programs and booking styles. All the promotions tried to cooperate more than in the past with often less than the desired results.

Mid-South largely stayed the course at first. The promotion had a successful formula and did not want to mess with it. There were some subtle changes though. The TV set for tapings at the Irish McNeill Boys Club was given an updated look and flags were hung above the ringside area. The promotion also made greater use of new innovations like music videos to promote stars and feuds as well as to use slow motion instant replay. The theme song to the TV show was changed. The graphics were updated. Besides these minor but valuable aesthetic changes, Mid-South aggressively used the bully pulpit of its TV shows to attack the WWF and paint it as a second rate promotion. -read more
