Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee vs Masa Fuchi, Atsushi Onita (8-1-81) AWA Southern Tag Title Match

CWA Championship Wrestling presents a classic Memphis Wrestling tag team title match featuring the Japanese team of Masa Fuchi and Atsushi Onita with Tojo Yamamoto challenging the current champs, Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee, for the AWA Southern Tag Team Title.

So many things are going on here it's hard to explain it all. Needless to say, things will be going from bad to worse in what started to be a very entertaining tag team match. When Lawler, during the match, attacks Hart outside the ring, the locker rooms empty and the Hart vs Lawler feud explodes on live TV without regard to the championship match in progress.

Joining the brawl, in no specific order, are Steve Keirn, Dutch Mantell, Dream Machine, Nightmare Ken Wayne, Nightmare Danny Davis, Rick Gibson, Robert Gibson, and Bugsy McGraw.

Date: August 1, 1981
Location: WMC TV5 Studio, Memphis
Play-by-play commentary: Lance Russell, Dave Brown
Referee: Jerry Calhoun

Nothing about this wasn't completely awesome!

Whew! Mayhem galore! Years before Atsushi Onita became Japan's most controversial hardcore wrestler. The good ol days of pro wrestling indeed! This looked like one heated feud between Jerry Lawler and friends against Jimmy Hart and his First Family. At times it made the NWA feud between Dusty Rhodes and company against The Four Horsemen look like a tea party. The conclusion was pure chaos.

1-fall, 60 minute time limit? Really? Don't think you'll EVER hear that in a t.v. match again. Then again, you've got a bigger crowd pop for this match (at the WMC studio) than you have in most packed arenas these days. Keep up the good work ChannelExtreme!
