I was living in New Orleans forty years ago when Duggan wore the gorilla suit. I hadn't seen that tape since. It's a classic. I bet everyone involved laughed out loud over that one. Thanks for letting the public watch this memory.
That wasn't a foreign object in Ted DiBiase's glove. It was a piece of safety equipment mandated by the state athletic commission. Anyway, Ted DiBiase scores a no-controversy-middle-of-the-ring-pinfall for the match and the Mid South Tag Team Championship.
@@kajunklown Duggan was NEVER going to be a top guy in the WWF. When Mid South was sold Duggan was actually the top face of the company but the WWF roster was stacked.
That laugh stayed with him into weeks….
Before the nwo, before dx before the horseman...it was the rat pack.

Was 9 years old, never missed watching in Oklahoma and remember the rat pack.
Wait was this an Oklahoma promotion? Is that why I always knew these names growing up?

JJiIi in JJ ok ki JJiij 8jjjj
Great stuff. Way better than nowadays
Agree 100%
Young people don’t care
A Rat Pack vs. Freebirds or the Von Erichs would have been awesome.
Heel Jim Duggan was awesome
JYD in Mid South Wrestling, that man was absolutely jacked
This was a good gimmick.
Dibiase was a great heel.
No doubt about it. Dibiase was one of the best.
In another universe:
Million Dollar Man 💰
Doink
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Yup, they're the good ol' trio of the "Hahaha!", "Hoo hoo hoo!", and "HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", respectively.
A team of very good athletic actors who put on a show pretending to hurt their rivals but are actually great friends.
Amazing footage!
Did he just call Junkyard Dog a gorilla? Hacksaw would have gotten canceled had it been 2023. 😯
Wow, Ted DiBiase would have have been immune to Christian Cage's "dead dad" powers.
Jeeeze the talent in this match.
The Rat Pack!
Holy shit that Bombs Away is BRUTAL.
Matt Borne sounds like Roddy Piper
i Agree he does lol
...he sounds like Piper because he did as much cocaine as him. 😂
i said the same thing sound talk just like him
They we're close friends. Roddy taught him alot
Duh who the hell you think groomed matt in portland lol he was trained by Roddy true story
A millionaire, a hacksaw and a clown walked into a bar....😁
The Rat Pack ❤️
This lough… tbh, it would a lough for movies too.
Can't believe Bill Watts is taller than all these guys.
Ted dibiase before he got on the juice
He will prevail! JYD LRG
"Whats that gorilla doin out there?"
The future Million Dollarman & Doink The Clown!
#DOOOGEN! :p
Duggan I think was as good as a heel for Bill Watt's promotion, then he was as a babyface for Vince.
I thought he was only a heel for a short time in mid south?
His arrest mess him up n wwf
@@WorldCupWillie He turned face.
Vince ruined most of the guys once they got to the wwf/e.

Why does he need to TAG...in a NO D.Q. match
That was a sad day when JYD lost that match 😞
This is not 1982 its between 1984-87. Ted dibiases mum died in 1984.
It couldn't have been later than 1984 because the JYD was in the WWF from the fall of 1984 until the fall of 1988.
it was 82-ish for sure 100%. I was 12 watching this.....around 84-85-ish is when Mid South attempted to go national
I'm from Chicago. My name is Steve @ I'm calling you out!
I think stagger lee came now since jyd was run out.
Never cross the dog!
Hacksaw Jim Duggan, as a heel wrestler ?
Does anyone on here know who Vince turned Matt borne into
Duh. You don't have special knowledge
Matt Borne a bargain bin Roddy Piper
I know this is a triva question to you all
doink million dollar man and jim dummy. before tony khan got wwe ex satrs. vince did it first he stole uwf guys
