WWE Reportedly Agrees on Deal to Buy Mid-South Library

By MarcMiddleton · Monday, October 22, 2012 · 0 Comments

- After recent reports suggested the deal might not go through
because of problems with the contract WWE kept passing to the Watts
family, The Miami Herald reports that WWE and the Watts family has
agreed on a deal for WWE to purchase around 1,200 hours of Mid-South
Wrestling footage. We've reported that plans will be to use the footage
on the WWE Network and in DVD releases for some of the Mid-South stars.

Jim Ross told The Miami Herald:

"If
fans are able to somewhere down the road buy volumes where they can see
X number of weeks of television or by the year where there’s X number
of episodes on a multi-disc set, they’re going to see how it was like
reading an action adventure book. One chapter led to the next chapter
led to the next with a crescendo and then a payoff, and then the book
continues."
