Mid South & original UWF.
This was the last significant tape library that WWE did not own, aside from the active groups like ROH and maybe a few older territories like St Louis (Mushnick), Pacific Northwest, Houston (Paul Boesch), San Franciso (Roy Shire). I know for a fact they don't own St. Louis, not sure about the others, but there isnt much you could sell these days anyway from some of those places. The Watts stuff is obviously a treasure trove of awesome.
A history of Mid South is a lock, and there is talk of Ted DiBiase, JYD, and Hacksaw Duggan sets.
Interested to see how WWE handles/rewrites history on the Watts/Turner merger in '87, because you really don't need to rewrite it to make Turner look bad, which is always the WWE m.o. The WCW side botched the fuck out of that and threw money away, and WWE obviously didn't learn from history when you look at the Invasion and even the ECW redux.
Anyway, a Mid South set would be the first WWE DVD i'd be interested in in ages. This is good news.
