Both of them. The badass midsouth rasslin version and OMG Million Dollar Man.

Tangent: I mostly loved what WWE did to those Midsouth dudes. I'll provide my most stern exceptions here:

- Hacksaw Jim Duggan (he was THE SHIT in midsouth. THE SHIT. Tough guy/hooooo Duggan was aight..at most..at least to me. I guess it worked out ultimately.)

- The Sheepherders (that Bushwackers shit was like Funkasaurus to me as a kid. Like..I went from being damn near scared of those dudes to ignoring them.)

- Kinda sorta Big Bubba Rodgers --> Big Boss Man. Dude would show up like he was somebody's bodyguard and kick your ass. But I can't front. I loved that he learned how to twirl a cop stick and kept on saying 'hard time'.
