Mid South Diaries: Match # 25

Match # 25: Ted Dibiase vs Magnum TA 7/6/84 We have two trends on this disk, and Dibiase/TA is one of them. Third match in a month and a half that made the set from these two. Very Cool. North American Title is again on the line, but this time it’s a regular match w/o [...]
