In search of Arena Reports from Pro Wrestling Illustrated from the following issues. As you may know, I have been working on an exhaustive list of results of wrestling events in Mississippi. If you have these issues and wouldn't mind snapping me a few pictures, I'd appreciate it. I know some of these are special issues (annuals, PWI 500, etc.) and may not have arena reports. I appreciate Y'alls help with this. I have results of hundreds of events across thousands of pages through over a hundred years, but I'm trying to leave no stone unturned. Thanks in advance.

Alright, Tonight's photo looks like maybe early 90s, Ken "The Dream" Rose on the left, and I don't know 100% of the fellow on the right. The last two unidentified black wrestlers I posted ended up being Danny B. This is definitely not him. I can't rule out Brickhouse Brown, but I don't really think it's him. Can anyone positively ID this wrestler?

In 2003, Kenny Valiant brought in this Lucha tag team, Los Chivos, for an event in Batesville. The team consisted of brothers Enigma and Kayam. They wrestled some in UWA in Mexico and spent a lot of time in the California Lucha scene. If I remember correctly, UWA had a relationship with WCW, which led to wrestlers like the Villanos, Damien, Maybe Ciclope, and others coming into the Atlanta promotion. Does anyone remember this show? From what I remember from Kenny's scrapbook, I think they had to be rescheduled once because something happened the week before.

Ron Horn in the Black and Blue vs Johnny Morton in the yellow and red. ID'd by Tony Dabbs, Brandon Smith, and Brandy Nicole. The referee is Tony Watts, who worked a promoter, referee, and manager in north Mississippi and the surrounding states. He even had several in-ring contests himself. Unfortunately, Tony passed away on March 15, 2017. Does anyone have any fond remembrances of Tony? Anyone know anything about where this gas station show was?

I believe this photo is from the Late 90s. Does anyone have any idea who this masked fellow is?

Stan Frazier, Better Known as Plowboy Frazier or Uncle Elmer remains one of the most well-known wrestlers to have been born in Mississippi. He is one of the Mississippians I profile at the back of my book with a few pages. Does anyone have any good Plowbot Frazier stories?

Here he is pictured with Kenny Valiant, who told me that these pictures were from a time when he wrestled as "Cousin Kenny" with Frazier. I'm not sure of the time for this photo, except that it is most certainly in the 80s. Frazier passed away in 1992 and wasn't very active in the ring his last few years.

I'm thinking tonight's photo is from the early. On the right is Kenny Valiant, of course. Can anyone ID the wrestler in the center? Also, I'm not sure if the guy with the Dustin Starr-esque hair is of significance. Any ideas?

If the camera date tracker was right, this photo is from November 12, 1995. This wrestler looks familiar, but I'm not sure why. Can anyone ID him? He may was likely working shows around the Mississippi area with Jimmy and Kenny Valiant

Does anyone recognize this wrestler? I'm thinking he may have been active in Arkansas based on some of the other photos it was with.

I would say tonight's oicture is likely late 90s. Center wit the microphones appears to be Babaraz and I'm thinking it's likely John Horton as Dr.X. I'm not sure who any of the others around are. Any ideas?
