Episode 76: The Television Title Tournament  

In Episode 76 of Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk, The Television Title Tournament, Greg:

Reviews television from the Mid South Wrestling Association from Feb. 1984. 

Wonders why wrestling promoters could never get tournament brackets formatted correctly. 

Talks about how weird it was for a Mid South fan to read about Hacksaw Duggan being a Kevin Sullivan-aligned heel in Florida. 

Praises Mr. Ito, the debut of the Rock-n-Roll Express and the tag team of Butch Reed and Buddy Landel.

Prepares for the heel turn of Mr. Wrestling II.  

Considers if Terry Taylor is the epitome of the wrestling truism about heels being nice guys in real life but babyfaces really being jerks. 

Adds more context to the Amarillo decision to book its own world champion in the early 1960s.
