    Take a trip back in time to the 1980s as the legendary "Cowboy" Bill Watts led his two organizations - Mid-South Wrestling and later The UWF - to a status that led the star-studded group to huge crowds, wild action, and a status that had the "big two" looking over their shoulders. Here's why: Junkyard Dog. Hacksaw Duggan. Steve Williams. Ted DiBiase. The Midnight Express. And on the list went! Mike Leotis (Wrestler Weekly) returns to the OWH for lively discussion on a most-revered mat group that so many fans have fond memories of.
