Quick note about all the separate wrestling promotions: they're all owned by different people, have different TV shows and different casts of characters, and only respect each other's continuity when the feel like it.
What makes it a little weird is that a lot of wrestlers outside of WWE own their own wrestling characters and can take them from company to company, though often changing from good to evil or changing backstories around or whatever.
It's like if Christian Bale could just decide, screw Justice League, I'll go be Batman in the Avengers for a while. And then go be a tragic zombie Batman who was somebody's cousin on The Walking Dead, then show up on Game of Thrones as the evil Lord Wayne whose House sigil is a Bat. And then I'll go back to DC superhero movies, but I'll play my character from American Psycho instead and just hope no one notices I was the Batman guy.

Mid South is a weird one because it later was the starting point for Bill Watt's attempt at going national with the Universal Wrestling Federation, so that's what the Wikipedia page is titled:
