AWA-CWA
10/15/77 from the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, TN
1) Former Southern tag team champion Butch Malone defeats Don Ross with a bulldog headlock.
2) Big Bill Howard shocks the crowd by getting the pin fall on “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones with a big body slam. Jones is irate after the match, complaining he had his shoulder up, but he is blown off by the official.
3) The Medics fall to the youthful duo of Steve Regal and Ricky Fields after Fields levels Medic #1 and Regal delivers a cannonball splash to get the pin. Fields and Regal seem to be hitting stride in the tag team division.
4) The Hawaiian Flash defeats the Professional by count out after an early flurry of rolling arm drags sends the masked man rolling all the way to the arena floor. Rather than reengage the Flash, both Yamamoto san and his charge retreat to the back.
5) In a taped fist match, Dutch Mantell defeats Randy Savage after decking the Miser’s wild man with repeated lefts and rights. Mantell gets the pin after a staggered Savage misses with a running double axe handle and the Dutchman rolls him up from behind.
6) The BBC duo of Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco defeat Tommy Gilbert and Jackie Fargo after Black Angus Campbell attacks the Brits, pulling Rocco off the ring apron and slamming him hard into the concrete before he delivered a gut wrench suplex to the smaller Breaks.
7) Sugar Bear Harris defeats Tommy Rich with a massive splash in the corner. Rich makes the mistake of trying to slam the big Bear and that seemed to injure his back.
8) Jerry “the King” Lawler takes a disqualification loss against Derek Draper after the Clown Prince of wrestling Steve Lawler turns the even contest into a beat down of Draper until Southern Heavyweight Champion Ron Garvin hits the ring and tried to fight off the Lawlers. Once Draper regained his feet, the King and his jester retreat to the locker room.
9) Bobby Jaggers and Tito Montez defeat the AWA Southern Tag Team Champions Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson after a bandaged and still bloody Randy Savage comes to the ring and breaks up a pinning attempt by Jaggers. This draws Dutch Mantel, dressed in his street clothes, out of the locker room and all 6 men brawl away in the ring until the rest of the locker room clears out and separates them.
10) In a special attraction, “Superstar” Bill Dundee defeats Southern Heavyweight Champion Ron Garvin in a non-title contest. Dundee is able to gain this pip on Roddy Piper by rolling up the champion with a small package. Garvin shakes his head after the fall, but graciously raises the hand of the victor.
