AWA-CWA Wrestling Live from the Civic Auditorium, Nashville, TN Bell time 8/10/77 is 7:30 pm 1) “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones defeats Don Ross with a swinging full nelson. 2) George Welles defeats Ken Dillenger with a big football tackle. The former San Francisco 49er continues to impress fans with his physicality. 3) Black Angus Campbell and the Scottish Giant defeat Jackie Fargo and Tommy Gilbert in a match that sees Campbell do the majority of the work for the BBC tandem, but the Giant get the pin after planting a big standing elbow on Jackie Fargo. 4) Dutch Mantel defeats the Spider by disqualification when the Miser breaks out Mantel’s own bullwhip and starts beating on the Dutchman. The Spider adds insult by decking Mantel with a big running double axe handle allowing the Miser to get clean shots across the back of Dutch. 5) Sugar Bear Harris defeats Might Ursa in a body slam match that sees Harris easily handle Ursa, splashing him in the corner and slamming him in the center of the ring for the 1-2-3. 6) “Professor” Bill Ash defeats “Superstar” Bill Dundee with the Arkansas Whiplash in a highly competitive contest between junior heavyweights. Ash was without any accompaniment, but that seemed to only allow Ash to open things up for a win. 7) Pat Roach defeats Kelly Kiniski with a second rope knee drop thanks to repeated distractions from not only Lord John Raven but Black Angus Campbell as well. Kiniski looked to have beaten the European Champion with a Canadian back breaker, but a distraction from his Lordship and a Campbell gut wrench ended the run of luck against the BBC for Kiniski. 8) In a battle of bullies, the BBC duo of Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco and the AWA Southern Tag Team Champions, Phil Hickerson and Dennis Condrey is ruled a no contest when two men from the audience started brawling with Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco after hopping the railing surrounding the ring. The two men beat down the Brits as Hickerson and Condrey retreat and grab the arena microphone to tell the fans they are John Tolos and Roger Kirby, the NACW North American Tag Team Champions and by beating up these two British bums, they are the best tag team in professional wrestling. 9) In the main event, Outlaw Ron Bass and Butch Malone defeat Jerry “the King” Lawler and Ronnie Garvin after Lawler, trying to knock out Ron Bass with a pair of brass knuckles, misses and hits Garvin instead. Bass delivers a Texas Gordbuster to secure the finish as both Yamamoto and Malone stymie the attempt by the King to break up the pin.
