Mid-South Wrestling: Week of 12/3-12/9 1979
For the week ending December 9th, 1979: Ernie Ladd starts a run as a regular, Sweetan feuding with Watts and Mr Wrestling II (who is also feuding with Mike George) & more!
Here's a look at the talent roster along with SPOT ratings and FEUD scores for the week.
Newcomers to the SPOT chart this week were Ernie Ladd, Jerry Oates and Ken Patera. Ladd begins a run as a regular; he still works shots for various territories including Florida and Georgia but his "home base" seems to be here for now. Oates and Patera are booked here for the next couple of weeks. Patera was also working WWWF TV tapings to build up to a run there starting in January 1980.

Here's a look at the talent roster along with SPOT ratings and FEUD scores for the week.
Removed from the SPOT chart were Dick Murdoch (no bookings in the territory this week) and King Kong Mosca. Mosca left the territory and may have worked a couple of shows for the AWA in December before going to All Japan in January 1980.
