I'm pretty sure American Starship didn't debut until 1984. As a matter of fact, I have a tape of them working their first TV match on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling that I just watched not that long ago.

They made their debut in November 1984 at a house show in Richmond. American Starship defeated Paul Kelly and Jeff Sword.
They left Mid-Atlantic in February 1985 when they started jobbing to Superstar Graham and The Barbarian in singles and tag team matches.
Danny Spivey and Scott Hall had a 3 - 4 month run in MACW.
Dusty arrived in MACW in January 1984 (ten months before American Starship debuted)

Was it really that late in the year? I was thinking it was a bit earlier than that, maybe mid to late summer or early fall. Oh well, you're right, they didn't last long.
Interesting sidenote, I saw Scott Hall in one of his first return matches to WCW in 1989 in Philly. He and Brian Pillman teamed up to face ... Mike Rotonda and Dan Spivey.

He got them booked there from Tampa and gave them their name. I think he was in Jimmys ear then from Tampa making plans to take the book in Charlotte. Hell, I know I worked them. I dont know ALL of the politics but they WERE his creation!

That's interesting that when Hall entered WCW in 1989 that he battled Spivey who had left WWF with Rotundo (new US Express).

Some people on here are great fans and others are fans who think they know everything and have never set foot in a ring or a BIG TIME wrestling office meeting where carrers are made and others are tossed away like trash. I would not post anything on here that wasnt true. If you were a manager or wrestler in an INDY organization and thought you knew everything then you know nothing. It's always a learning experience!

Wrestling is always a learning experience, no matter if you've been in the biz for 6 months or 25 years. It's when you stop learning that you need to get out.
That's the basics of a comment to an indy group of wrestlers from the legend himself, Wahoo McDaniel (RIP) in 1994.
