AWA-CWA Wrestling Live from the Louisville Gardens, Louisville, KY Bell time 7/18/77 is 7:00 pm 1) “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones and Burrhead Jones defeat the Medics after Tom locks on a full nelson on Medic #1 for the submission victory. Both masked men tried hard, but could not overcome the Jones boys. 2) Kelly Kiniski defeats Don Ross with the Canadian back breaker. Fans really seemed to be getting behind Kelly during the match. 3) Tito Montez defeats the Spider by count out in a bloody brawl that sees a great deal of both technical skill and blood-drawing brutality. 4) Black Angus Campbell, accompanied to the ring by Lord John Raven, demolishes Bugsy McGraw. McGraw is battered from pillar to post and finished off by a big gut wrench suplex from Campbell. 5) Gentleman Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco defeat the Tommy Gilbert and Jackie Fargo in a rematch from the July 4th spectacular. This time, the veterans seem more prepared, getting quite a few near falls, but Lord John Raven, who remains at ringside with the British contingent, distracts the official after Gilbert had delivered a big vertical suplex to Breaks. Rocco takes advantage of the distraction to deliver a big diving head butt that drills Gilbert and allows Breaks to roll on top of him to get the 1-2-3. Security has to help the trio of Englishmen to the back. 6) “Superstar” Bill Dundee defeats “Professor” Bill Ash with the Bombs Away after Ash misses on an attempt at the Arkansas Whiplash on the outside. Tojo Yamamoto was at ringside, but very cautious in injecting himself into the match after the reaction of the crowd to the previous match. 7) Lord John Raven braves a show of trash and verbal abuse to escort Pat Roach to the ring to face Ron Garvin. Garvin and Roach battle for almost 20 minutes before Roach is able to catch a distracted Ronnie with a big boot to the head that he follows up with a big second rope knee drop. The British tandem has to retreat to the back again with the aid of security. 8) Jerry “the King” Lawler defeats Dr. David Schultz with a second rope fist drop. Schultz seems to be favoring his neck the entire match and was taken down at the end by Lawler delivering a neckbreaker before delivering his final blow. 9) In the main event, Tommy Rich and Ricky Fields defeat the duo of Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson to retain the AWA Southern Tag Team Titles. Ricky dropped Condrey with a missile drop kick and Tommy got the submission with a spinning toe hold.
